Zahn infarct is a medical term that refers to a type of heart attack caused by a blood clot that blocks the blood supply to the heart muscle. There are several synonyms for this condition, including myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis, heart attack, and acute coronary syndrome. These terms are used interchangeably to describe a sudden and serious episode of heart damage that can lead to heart failure or death if not treated promptly. Treatment for Zahn infarct typically involves urgent medical care, including medications to dissolve the blood clot and prevent further damage, as well as lifestyle changes and ongoing monitoring to prevent future episodes.
