Sudden occlusion of the coronary artery results in ischemia, myocardial cell death and myocardial infarction(MI). The most common cause is atherosclerotic plaque rupture. MI can be complicated by arrhythmia such as ventricular tachycardia, heart block, heart failure, ventricular wall rupture and death.
