  • Title: Acute myocardial ischemia: role of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, platelet activation, coronary vasospasm, and altered arachidonic acid metabolism.
    Author: Conti CR, Mehta JL.
    Journal: Circulation; 1987 Jun; 75(6 Pt 2):V84-95. PubMed ID: 3552319.
    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.
