A heart attack occurs only if the artery is not enough anastomoses (see) with neighbouring arteries. The shape of a heart attack depends on the branching of blood vessels in the body.
In the kidneys, spleen and lung infarction has the form of a cone, a converted basis to the surface of the body; in the heart, intestines shape of a heart attack incorrect.
The size of the infarct depend on the calibre of the struck vessel. There are white (anemia) and red (hemorrhagic) heart attacks. Anemic heart attacks whitish-gray observed in the kidneys and spleen.

In this regard, in place of a heart attack may form an abscess, and suppuration can spread to the surrounding tissue. A heart attack can nanaitsy and secondary infections; it often happens in the lung. The most frequent myocardial infarction (see).
