Ischemia - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical exhibit depicts myocardial ischemia (heart muscle death) following an acute (rapid) myocardial infarction (heart attack). It features an anterior (front) orientation view of the heart with a detail enlargement of the distal left anterior descending artery (LAD) with blockage. Dead, discolored, ischemic and damaged heart muscle tissue is seen below the point of the coronary arterial blockage. A single label identifies the death of heart tissue due to blocked artery.
