Acute myocardial ischemia: role of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, platelet activation, coronary vasospasm, and altered arachidonic acid metabolism

C R Conti et al. Circulation. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

Potential causes for the development of acute myocardial ischemia include extracardiac factors, rapid progression of atherosclerosis, dynamic coronary artery thrombosis, platelet activation in diseased vessels, abnormal constriction of a coronary artery, and abnormal arachidonic acid metabolism. It is entirely possible that all or many of these potential causes may be occurring in the individual patient.
