Coronary Thrombosis
2016-10-05 08:33:30 · answer #1 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The heart is surrounded by three major coronary arteries that supply it with blood and oxygen. If a blood clot develops in one of these arteries, the blood supply to that area of the heart muscle will stop. This is known as a coronary thrombosis, a myocardial infarction or heart attack.
Most commonly a coronary thrombosis will cause severe chest pains behind the sternum (breast bone), often radiating towards the left arm. The area of muscle to which there is insufficient supply stops working properly if the blood clot is not dissolved quickly, eg with thrombosis dissolving (thrombolytic) medication
Why does coronary thrombosis occur?
Coronary thrombosis, which usually takes place in the coronary arteries, frequently develops at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Most people in the developed world have atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) in some parts of their body, without ever noticing it. Atherosclerosis may start around the age of 20 and develops gradually with increasing age.
Some people have symptoms of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries which shows up as angina (pains in the chest). Conversely, plaque rupture leading to a coronary thrombosis often occurs in someone with no previous history of angina.
It is the lining of the artery supplying the heart muscle that forms an atherosclerotic plaque. This diseased area of the coronary artery can, if it ruptures, develop a blood clot on it, comprising blood clotting proteins, platelets and red blood cells. This formation has the potential to seal off the blood supply.

Thrombosis is the occlusion of a blood vessel by a thrombus or blood clot.
Coronary refers to the heart.
Thus a coronary thrombosis is a thrombosis in the blood vessels that feed the heart muscle. This is also knows as myocardial infarction, and depending on its severity might lead to death or unreparable tissue damaging and compromised heart function. Many people that have suffered a hearth attack can recover with minimum damages and live a normal life providing they have had medical assistance and proper care and common sense.
thank's for asking the question

My friend had a DVT and i know thrombosis,is when there is clots of blood around an area,hers was in her leg, so i would pressume coronary is to do with the heart, so i think it may mean some kind of blockage,in that area, also she was treated with a drug called warfarin, and heparin, the warfarin she took orally the heparin she had to inject into her tummy 3 times a day. Im sure the doctors will explain everything in detail. If it is you my friend who has this problem, you should not be scared to ask all kinds of questions as you have a right to know, even if it is a family member you can still ask, anything you are unsure of should be taked about. I wish you all the very best of health, i dont know if i have helped any, but good health and respects, Chelle.

Coronary thrombosis is the blockage of the heart vessels due to the presence of clots which could be formed due to cholesterol.dead cells,bacteria,etc and also in conditions with bleeding disorders.

Blood clot in one of the coronary arteries. There are three main branches.

It is the formation of a blockage, usually a small blood clot, within one of the arteries that feeds the heart. The clot prevents oxygen (and other nutrients, but mainly oxygen) from reaching the muscle feed by that artery. That tissue then dies from lack of oxygen, leading to a heart attach.
