LITERATUR REVIEW GAMBARAN KOLESTEROL TOTAL PADA PENDERITA INFARK MIOKARD

Abstract

Background. Myocardial infarction is myocardial necrosis caused by inadequate blood supply due to acute blockage of coronary arteries. This blockage is mostly caused by atheroma plaque rupture in the coronary arteries which is then followed by thrombosis, vasoconstriction, inflammatory reaction, and distal microembolization. Blood cholesterol level is a major risk factor for the process of atherosclerosis that underlies coronary heart disease (CHD) including acute coronary syndrome. Method.
