Dr. Zhang Jianbin
Patients with this condition are generally prone to sudden death due to fatigue, which typically occurs in cases of extensive acute myocardial ischemia and necrosis. At this point, sudden death may happen. It affects the heart's blood-pumping function and leads to massive myocardial infarction. Under these circumstances, patients are highly susceptible to severe pump failure and sudden death. Prompt treatment is necessary once symptoms appear.
