Images that for the first time show bleeding inside the heart after people have suffered a heart attack have been captured by scientists, in a new study published January 19 in the journal Radiology.
The research shows that the amount of bleeding can indicate how damaged a person's heart is after a heart attack. The researchers, from the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre at Imperial College London, hope that this kind of imaging will be used alongside other tests to create a fuller picture of a patient's condition and their chances of recovery.
People suffer heart attacks when an artery that feeds blood to the heart becomes blocked, stopping the heart's blood supply and depriving the heart muscle of oxygen. Currently, most people treated for a heart attack are fitted with a metal tube called a stent to keep the blocked artery clear.
Recent research has shown that some people experience bleeding inside the heart muscle once blood starts to pump into it again. However, the significance of this bleeding is currently not understood.

I subscribe to Free Republic where we are on the leading edge of knowledge.The first post on the topic indicated a clear understanding of the problem.
We are now a country of bleeding hearts
Sometimes it is good to mix it up a little. :-)
The cure is something that happens when they get mugged by reality. That day will come here when their precious government is no longer functioning and the public cuppard is bare.
Thanks grey_whiskers!
