Myocardial Infarction affects the heart's ability to pump adequate oxygenated blood, nutrients, water and hormones to the rest of the body. It can affect the brain if too much oxygen is deprived from the brain or any other organ for that matter. If the person is treated rapidly and can be saved measures will be take to restore the heart and any other affected organ to better health.
The circulatory system.
The circulatory system consists of arteries, veins and capillaries. Their job is to transport the blood around the body. The blood goes to the lungs to get fresh oxygen and to get rid of the toxic carbon dioxide.
When the blood is being moved through the blood vessels inefficiently, the whole body becomes affected because oxygen is not being delivered at its normal rate, and the removal of carbon dioxide is not done well either.
Early signs include feeling light headed and dizzy, getting out of breath after minor exertion.
In a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (M.I.) these are affected:
- smooth muscle of the heart (organ)
- the heart (organ) is affected
- blood flow of through the heart is reduced, thus affecting the Circulatory System
- But because the heart (organ) is a major organ and affects blood circulation, the effects of a heart attack cascade throughout the body, in particular the brain and kidneys.
- An M.I. can be mild or severe, the severest causing cardiac arrest.
Note: Smooth muscle of the heart does not repair itself very well, at least not to make any significant healing in the organ itself. Instead, part of the heart dies and the heart tries to keep working without that section of heart muscle. The heart muscle, therefore, can scar.
Because the circulatory systems is one of the main systems to do with the heart, and if you don't have enough TP to wipe the bung hole materials off you're heart it will cause a heart attack.
Heart muscle is the tissue affected by a heart attack. This tissue is found in the organ known as the heart, which is in turn found in the circulatory system.

What is the area of dead tissue affected by a heart attack called?
The area is known as a foci of necrotic tissue, eventually turning into fibrosed (scar) tissue. The process by which this occurs is tissue ischaemia (where not enough oxygen is supplied to the heart tissue to meet its requirements).
Can your bladder be affected after a heart attack?
no
What is the heart is it a system or organ or tissue?
The heart is an organ.
What are the treatment for heart attack?
The treatment for heart attack works by your system called Digestive system
What are the causes and effect of heart attack?
Obstuction of blood flow to the heart resulting in damage/death of heart muscle tissue.
What is the area of dead tissue affected by a heart attack called?
The area is known as a foci of necrotic tissue, eventually turning into fibrosed (scar) tissue. The process by which this occurs is tissue ischaemia (where not enough oxygen is supplied to the heart tissue to meet its requirements).
How is body temperature affected by a heart attack?
Body temperature is affected by a heart attack in that it typically rises. A heart attack can often trigger a fever of over 100 degrees.
What is the interruption of these impulses in the heart's conduction system?
Interruption of the impulses in the heart's conduction system is known as heart block. Heart block may be caused by scar tissue from a heart attack, among other things.
Can your bladder be affected after a heart attack?
no
What tissue does a heart attack affect?
olol
How does having a heart attack effect the heart?
"no! the liver!" heart tissue is damaged.
What will happen to the heart muscles and heart when the blood vessels are blocked?
the muscle tissue that is affected by the unsufficient blood supply will start to swell, lose function and ultimateley die. Since most heart muscle cells are unable to reproduce, the affected cells will reamin dead and transform into scar tissue.
What is the heart is it a system or organ or tissue?
The heart is an organ.
What are the treatment for heart attack?
The treatment for heart attack works by your system called Digestive system
What is noncontractile scar tissue?
From what i understand it is scar tissue within the heart that will limit how well your heart can contract to pump out blood. Unlike your heart muscle tissue, the scar tissue will not contract.A heart attack would be the most likely cause for these scars.
What system does the a heart attack has to do with?
circulotory system
What is Celine Dion husband disease?
