We often say that if we hurt someone, our heart breaks. But in reality, when the heart fails, it has a negative effect on our health. This failure of the heart is called myocardial infarction. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to supply the body’s other organs with blood in the right amount. In this condition, the heart’s pumping speed slows down, meaning that the heart does not pump blood as well as it should.
Additionally, Heart failure can occur when a person’s muscles become too stiff. During this time, the circulation of blood in the body is disrupted, even if the heart’s pumping system is working properly.
A case study from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology states that a heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs after heart failure (myocardial infarction). Whose death rate is very high and it is difficult to save the patient even after surgery.
