Heart attack, artwork C016 / 2894
Heart attack. Artwork showing an anterior (frontal) view of a human heart during a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Surrounding the heart are torso, arm and neck blood vessels (arteries, red; veins, blue). as seen from the front during a (heart attack). One of the coronary arteries (on the surface of the heart) has become blocked, preventing oxygenated blood reaching an area of the heart muscle. This has caused an infarct (grey area, bottom) where heart tissue has died. In severe cases this can be fatal. The blockage, usually a build up of fatty deposits, can be bypassed by an operation to restore the blood supply

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heart Attack" showcases the intricate details of a human heart during a myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. The artwork provides an anterior view of the heart, surrounded by blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to various parts of the body. However, one of the coronary arteries on the surface of the heart has become blocked, leading to a lack of oxygen in a specific area of the cardiac muscle. The grey area at the bottom represents an infarct where heart tissue has died due to insufficient blood flow. This condition can be fatal in severe cases. The blockage is typically caused by fatty deposits that accumulate over time but can be bypassed through surgical intervention to restore proper blood supply. This visually striking illustration serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and students alike, shedding light on cardiovascular disorders such as angina and coronary artery disease. It emphasizes how crucial it is to understand and address conditions affecting major heart blood vessels promptly. With its blue background highlighting the intricacies of our circulatory system, this artwork from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers valuable insights into cardiology and underscores both scientific curiosity and concern for human health.
