Infarto - Consecuencias de un infarto

Consequences of Heart Infarction

Immediate Risks and Fatal Outcomes

  • The onset of a heart attack can lead to immediate fatal arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation, which can result in death if not treated promptly.
  • Some individuals may survive the initial minutes of a heart attack, but timely medical intervention is crucial to prevent severe outcomes.

Long-term Effects on Heart Function

  • Surviving an infarction may still leave lasting damage; scar tissue forms where heart muscle was previously healthy.
  • This scar tissue is inert and does not contribute to the heart's pumping function, potentially leading to reduced overall cardiac efficiency.
