Heart neurosis. Artwork of a human profile in silhouette with a heart in the place of the brain, depicting heart neurosis. Heart (cardiac) neurosis is excessive fear of the condition of the heart

Artwork of heart attack due to atherosclerosis
Heart attack. Artwork of a human heart during a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Here, an embolus (red, in the sectioned artery at lower right)

Conceptual artwork of heart with heart disease
Heart disease. Conceptual artwork of a section through a heart to depict it " running down" due to heart disease

Chest pain, conceptual artwork. Man holding his chest in pain. This could represent heartburn, a heart condition (such as angina) or a heart attack

Heart disease. Conceptual artwork of a section through a heart, made to look like the face of the American comedian Groucho Marx (1890-1977)

Angina, conceptual artwork
Angina, conceptual computer artwork. Heart being squeezed by a metal band, which could represent angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is a severe chest pain from a lack of blood supply to the heart

Chest pain
MODEL RELEASED. Chest pain. Elderly woman clutching her painful chest

Blocked coronary artery, artwork
Blocked coronary artery. Computer artwork of a clot (red) in a coronary artery. The clot has been caused by atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (yellow) on the artery wall

Heart ischaemia
Heart disease. Artwork showing a heart with ischaemia (oxygen shortage) due to a blocked artery. The cardiac tissue beneath the blockage (grey)

Chest pains. Computer artwork of a naked man with chest pains. His hands are over his heart, which is shown in red. He could be suffering a heart attack or angina

Heart attack and ECG trace
Heart attack, conceptual computer artwork showing an ECG (electrocardiogram) trace from an unhealthy human heart. An ECG uses electrodes to measure the electrical activity of the heart during

Angina attack
MODEL RELEASED. Angina attack. Elderly woman clutching her chest during a painful bout of angina. More fully known as angina pectoris

Heart damage, artwork
Heart damage. Computer artwork of necrotic (dead) areas of muscle following a myocardial infarction (heart attack). This is caused by a lack of blood flow to the tissue

Nanobots and atherosclerosis, artwork
Nanobots and atherosclerosis. Artwork of nanorobots inside a blood vessel as they carry out treatment of atherosclerosis. Blood vessels can become blocked or narrowed by the build-up of fatty plaques

Damaged cardiac tissue, artwork
Damaged cardiac tissue. Artwork of damaged heart fibres and cells in heart muscle tissue (myocardium). This can occur due to reduced blood supply (ischaemia)

Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a human heart attack, is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked. This illustration depicts a microscopic view of blood clotting inside an artery, which leads to this devastating event. In the image of the blood vessel, we can see platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. These components play crucial roles in the formation of clots during myocardial infarction. The X-ray images show coronary stenosis before and after treatment. Coronary stenosis refers to the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The first X-ray reveals a significant obstruction in these vital vessels before any intervention takes place. However, subsequent X-rays demonstrate how effective treatment can restore proper blood flow by clearing or bypassing these blockages. Heart disease often stems from poor dietary choices and lifestyle habits. The artwork depicting heart disease and poor diet serves as a reminder of how our choices impact our cardiovascular health. Lastly, conceptual artwork portrays the severity of a heart attack itself - an intense experience that affects countless individuals worldwide every day. Understanding myocardial infarction's causes and consequences is essential for prevention and timely medical intervention.
