Structural Biochemistry/Cell Signaling Pathways/Circulatory System A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, is death of or damage to part of the heart muscle due to an insufficient blood supply. Heart attacks occur when one of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle is blocked. Blockage is usually caused from a buildup of plaque (deposits of fat-like substances) due to atherosclerosis. If a plaque deposit tears or ruptures, a blood clot may form and block the artery, causing a heart attack.

- Myocarditis or inflammatory cardiomyopathy is inflammation of heart muscle. The consequences of myocarditis vary widely. It can cause a mild disease without any symptoms that resolves itself, or it may cause chest pain, heart failure, or sudden death. An acute myocardial infarction-like syndrome with normal coronary arteries has a good prognosis. Heart failure, even with a dilated left ventricle, may have a good prognosis.

Muscle Spasms in Chest Another non-cardiac cause of chest spasms is esophageal spasm. In esophageal spasm, the muscles of the esophagus (food pipe or the tube which carries food from mouth to the stomach) experience abnormal contraction which results in severe chest pain.

- Notable symptoms of a pulled muscle in the chest are within 24 hours after the injury. The most evident is in the chest, which feels like a sharp burning pain during movement or rotation.

Heart Disease (Cardiovascular Disease, CVD) Picture of a cross section of the heart. When one or more coronary arteries narrow, it may make it difficult for adequate blood to reach the heart, especially during exercise. This can cause the heart muscle to ache like any other muscle in the body. Should the arteries continue to narrow, it may take less activity to stress the heart and provoke symptoms. The classic symptoms of chest pain and shortness of breath due to atherosclerotic or coronary artery disease are called angina. Should one of the coronary arteries become completely blocked, usually due to a blood clot that forms, blood supply to part of the heart muscle is completely lost and that piece of muscle dies. This is called a heart attack or myocardial infarction (myo=muscle + cardia=heart + infarction = tissue death).

Overview Another cause of a heart attack is a spasm of a coronary artery that shuts down blood flow to part of the heart muscle. Use of tobacco and of illicit drugs, such as cocaine, can cause a life-threatening spasm. A heart attack can also occur due to a tear in the heart artery (spontaneous coronary artery dissection).

Pulled Chest Muscle Symptoms The more it stretched, the worse your pulled chest muscle symptoms will be. A chest muscle tear is where the tendon has ripped at least 5%. This can mean significant problems. Less problem than a 50% tear (which would qualify as tendon rupture), but a problem none the less.

- Heart-related causes. Examples of heart-related causes of chest pain include: Heart attack. A heart attack is a result of a blood clot that's blocking blood flow to your heart muscle. Angina. Thick plaques can gradually build up on the inner walls of the arteries that carry blood to your heart.

Pulled Chest Muscles: Risk, Signs and Treatment The signs and symptoms of pulled chest muscles can be quite painful at times. Other than pain, some of the other commonly occurring signs and symptoms that typically occur within 24 hours after the injury include tightness of the chest and an increasing burning pain that worsens with any movement of the affected area.

Rectus abdominis muscle Updated February 13, 2017. An abdominal muscle strain also called a pulled abdominal muscle, is an injury to one of the muscles of the abdominal wall. A muscle strain occurs when the muscle is stretched too far. When this occurs the muscle fibers are torn.

Pulled Chest Muscle Symptoms and Cures Pulled Chest Muscle Symptoms and Cures. We unknowingly involve our chest muscles in almost every activity we perform on day to day basis. For example, simply lift your arms over your head and you will feel the chest muscles working. Pulled chest muscles are a result of muscle overload in the chest area. To be pointblank, pulled chest muscles implies stretching the chest muscles beyond its capacity. This excessive pull leads to tear in the muscle fibers.

Coronary artery spasm: Cause for concern? Coronary artery spasm. A coronary artery spasm is a temporary tightening (constriction) of the muscles in the wall of one of the arteries that supplies blood flow to your heart muscle. This can narrow and decrease or even completely prevent blood flow to part of the heart muscle. If the spasm lasts long enough, it can lead to chest pain (angina) and even a heart attack (myocardial infarction). These spasms are sometimes referred to as Prinzmetal's angina or variant angina.

Chest Pain A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is usually caused by a blood clot, which stops the blood flowing to a part of your heart muscle. You should call for an ambulance immediately if you develop severe chest pain.

Overview During a heart attack, tissue in your heart muscle dies due to lack of blood flow through your heart's arteries. A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked, most often by a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Squeezing Chest Pain- Causes and Other Symptoms Most of the time the squeezing chest pain is thought to arise from the heart because the heart is a muscular pump. However, there are various other muscles in and on the chest, including muscles responsible for body movement and muscles within organs.

Overview Angina is caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Your blood carries oxygen, which your heart muscle needs to survive. When your heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen, it causes a condition called ischemia. The most common cause of reduced blood flow to your heart muscle is coronary artery disease (CAD). Your heart (coronary) arteries can become narrowed by deposits called plaques.

- You may be surprised to hear that a closet containing just a 2 foot wide island needs to be 10 feet wide (inside measurement) at the very minimum. This is based on hanging clothing on the side walls requiring 2 feet of depth, a 2 foot wide walkway on either side of the 2 foot wide island.oday, we’ll look at closet design tips for walk in closets: Walk-in Closets : Minimum width: In order to hang clothing on opposite walls of a walk-in closet, the closet must be a minimum of 72 inches wide after drywall (75 inches is even better).

Pulled Chest Muscle Treatment A muscle pull anywhere in the body is just as bad, but when you have a pull in the chest muscle(s), it is even more difficult to deal with because it restricts a whole lot of other actions as well, like bending, lifting your arms or stretching.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy - Topic Overview When your heart muscle is weak, it can't pump out blood as well as it should, so more blood stays in your heart after each heartbeat. As more blood fills and stays in the heart, the heart muscle stretches even more and gets even weaker. Most of the time, this leads to heart failure.
