👉What is a Myocardial Infarction? An MI is due to a BLOCKAGE of blood flow to the myocardial tissue of the heart muscle resulting in tissue death (necrosis).

⚠️NCLEX Tip: The main cause is due to Atherosclerosis. This is a buildup of plaques (fat, cholesterol) in the artery walls blocking blood flow.
