Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NSTEMI (non-ST elevation myocardial infarction) usually damages only the innermost layer of the myocardium, as it is caused by partial blockage of a coronary artery. Transmural MI (ST elevation MI) is caused by complete blockage of a coronary artery and can involve the entire wall of the heart. Posterior and anteroseptal refer to the location of the infarction and do not indicate the depth of damage to the myocardium.
