Heart attack, artwork C016 / 2893
Heart attack. Artwork showing an anterior (frontal) view of a human heart during a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Surrounding the heart are chest and neck blood vessels (arteries, red; veins, blue). as seen from the front during a (heart attack). One of the coronary arteries (on the surface of the heart) has become blocked, preventing oxygenated blood reaching an area of the heart muscle. This has caused an infarct (grey area, bottom) where heart tissue has died. In severe cases this can be fatal. The blockage, usually a build up of fatty deposits, can be bypassed by an operation to restore the blood supply

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Heart Attack, Artwork C016 / 2893" offers a striking anterior view of a human heart during a myocardial infarction. The artwork vividly portrays the critical moment when one of the coronary arteries becomes obstructed, impeding the flow of oxygenated blood to a section of the heart muscle. As a consequence, an ominous grey area at the bottom signifies where heart tissue has tragically perished. The surrounding chest and neck blood vessels are depicted in vibrant red and blue hues, representing arteries and veins respectively. This composition serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate circulatory system that sustains our vital organs. In severe cases like this, such blockages can prove fatal if left untreated. However, there is hope amidst this somber scene. The caption enlightens us about medical interventions available to bypass these obstructions through surgical procedures aimed at restoring proper blood supply to affected areas. By removing fatty deposits responsible for arterial blockage, surgeons can potentially save lives and mitigate further damage caused by ischemia. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork against its serene blue background, it compels us to reflect on our own mortality while emphasizing the importance of cardiovascular health awareness. Through visual storytelling like this masterpiece from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library, we gain valuable insights into complex medical conditions that impact countless lives worldwide.
