History of cardiology
Episode 19 – Myocardial infarction: a long-misunderstood cause
For a long time, the cause of myocardial infarction remained poorly understood. Initially attributed to a gradual blockage of the arteries, it is now recognized as a frequently sudden event related to the formation of a blood clot. This discovery, confirmed in the 1970s, transformed cardiology and led to the development of effective treatments.
