1. infarction

   Infarction is a medical term referring to tissue death (necrosis) that occurs due to a lack of blood supply, often resulting from an obstruction in the blood vessels supplying the tissue. This lack of blood flow leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients, causing the tissue to die. This can occur in various parts of the body, leading to different types of infarctions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), cerebral infarction (stroke), and pulmonary infarction.

Examples of Infarction in a Sentence

1. Steven Nissen:

I can’t walk upstairs. I just can’t tolerate these drugs,’ we do need alternatives for these patients.
