Acute myocardial infarction develops when myocardial ischaemia occurs for a sufficient time to cause necrosis of a localised area of myocardium. The initial reduction in myocardial blood flow may be secondary to: Infarction may occur without totoal coronary artery occlusion when coronary flow falls due to severe hypotension. This can be associaed with haemorrhage, trauma, severe dehydration or shock accompanying any other condition.
