Acute myocardial infarction is a medical condition that falls inside the WHO's range ICD-10 code I21.

<h3>What is acute myocardial infarction?</h3>

A condition in which the myocardium exhibits severe necrosis as a result of a disruption in the blood supply.

Blood coagulation in one or more coronary arteries.
A blood clot (thrombus) is a common factor in myocardial infarction.

Complete obstruction of one of the coronary arteries, typically caused by coronary atherosclerosis.

In the United States, approximately a million people suffer a heart attack annually.
Most of them pass away. Because they don't seek care right away, a lot of people suffer permanent heart disease or pass away.
These symptoms include shortness of breath, chest discomfort (such as pressure, squeezing, or pain), and discomfort in the upper body (such as in the arms, shoulders, neck, and back).
