Heart attack: artwork of heart angiogram and ECG
Heart attack. Computer composite artwork depicting a heart attack (myocardial infarction), showing an angiogram of coronary arteries and an ECG heart trace. A red ECG (electrocardiogram) trace reveals the electrical activity of an irregular heartbeat during a heart attack. In the background is an angiogram (X-ray) of the heart (grey) with coronary arteries (black) on its surface. Coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen. Blockage of one of these coronary arteries by a clot or narrowed artery walls in atherosclerosis starves the heart muscle of blood and is a typical cause of heart attack. Angiography is a technique used to detect blocked coronary arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heart Attack" showcases a computer composite artwork that vividly depicts the intricate details of a heart angiogram and an ECG during a myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. The image portrays the severity of this medical condition by presenting an angiogram of coronary arteries in grey, with black coronary arteries on its surface. These vital blood vessels supply oxygen to the heart muscle. The focal point of the composition is the red electrocardiogram (ECG) trace, which reveals the irregular electrical activity associated with an impending or ongoing heart attack. This visual representation emphasizes how crucial it is to monitor and understand these abnormal rhythms during such critical moments. Atherosclerosis, characterized by narrowed artery walls or clot formation within one of these coronary arteries, is highlighted as the typical cause behind this life-threatening event. The blockage restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to severe consequences. Incorporating both artistry and scientific precision, this artwork serves as a powerful educational tool for medical professionals and individuals seeking knowledge about cardiac health. By utilizing angiography techniques to detect blocked coronary arteries accurately, healthcare providers can intervene promptly and potentially save lives. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library captures not only the complexity but also underscores our continuous efforts towards understanding cardiovascular diseases while emphasizing their impact on human health.
