heart and blood vessel disorders
Complications of an Acute Coronary Syndrome
Introduction
The heart muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood. The Blood Supply of the Heart , which branch off the aorta just after it leaves the heart, deliver this blood. An The complications of acute coronary syndromes depend on how much of the heart muscle is damaged, which is a direct result of where a coronary artery was blocked and how long this artery was blocked. If the blockage affects a large amount of heart muscle, the heart will not pump effectively. If the blockage shuts off blood flow to the electrical system of the heart, the heart rhythm may be affected.
