| Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality--TABLE BACK to List of IndicatorsD R A F T |
| A heart
attack is called a myocardial infarction. Myocardial means heart muscle,
and infarction means an area of tissue death due to lack of blood supply.
Heart attacks occur when an artery to the heart (a coronary artery) becomes
blocked. A heart attack is a life-and-death emergency. According to the
American Heart Association, if a heart attack victim gets to an emergency
room fast enough, prompt care dramatically reduces heart damage. Research
findings have resulted in detailed practice guidelines covering all phases
of heart attack management. However, administrative data do not indicate
how quickly the patient began receiving medical treatment.
