Q

STEMI occurs due to what?
Exposure of circulating blood to cholesterol-rich material w/n plaque stimulates what? which has what effect?

A

erosion or sudden rupture of atherosclerotic plaque w/n wall of coronary artery
blood clotting (thrombosis); obstructs blood flow w/n the coronary artery

Q

STEMI is most often caused by what?
As soon as blood supply is interrupted what occurs?
In animal models of experimental coronary artery occlusion, a ‘wave-front’ of what goes where?
In those who survive STEMI, infarcted muscle is gradually replaced by what? & extent of damage will determine what? & is a determinant of what?

A

complete & persistent occlusion of a coronary artery thrombus.
myocardial damage begins & the longer the blood supply is occluded, the greater the amount of heart muscle lost.
myocardial injury spreads from inner layer of heart muscle (subendocardial myocardium) to outermost layer (sub-epicardial myocardium), whereupon the infarction is then said to be ‘full thickness’.
fibrosis; contractility; heart failure & longer-term survival
