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) has blocked one of the coronary arteries where it has been narrowed by atherosclerosis. The artery can no longer supply the heart muscle with blood, causing the sudden tissue death or necrosis (dark red, lower right) of a heart attack. In atherosclerosis, fatty plaques of atheroma (yellow, lower right) develop in the inner lining of the artery. An embolus is a piece of material or gas bubble travelling in the blood supply that blocks an artery. Heart attacks are felt as sudden chest pain and can be fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate artwork depicting the devastating effects of a heart attack caused by atherosclerosis. The image portrays a human heart in the midst of a myocardial infarction, where one of its coronary arteries has been obstructed by an embolus due to the narrowing caused by atherosclerosis. The visual representation highlights the critical role played by these vital blood vessels in supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. With the artery blocked, the heart is deprived of this essential supply, leading to sudden tissue death or necrosis, depicted as dark red areas within the organ. Atherosclerosis, characterized by fatty plaques known as atheroma developing on arterial walls, serves as an underlying condition for such catastrophic events. These yellow formations are clearly visible within this stunning artwork. Heart attacks manifest themselves through intense chest pain and can have fatal consequences if not promptly addressed. This thought-provoking piece brings attention to both medical professionals and individuals alike about the importance of understanding and managing cardiac health. Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing scientific phenomena shines through this visually striking composition. It serves as a reminder that art can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as an educational tool bridging medicine and artistic expression seamlessly.
