Definition
English
:
A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient
blood
flow to the muscle tissue of the
heart
. The decreased
blood
flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary
arteries
(CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of
arterioles
and other small vessels within the
heart
. Severe interruption of the
blood
supply
to the myocardial tissue may result in
necrosis
of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
