I need to know what exactly is circulatory collaspe caused by acute myocardial infarction . in plain english.?

i would like to know this in simple terms not doctors words.please, trying to find out what caused my mothers death exactly. is it a heart attack or something else?

I will do the best I can. I am sorry for your loss. Acute MI is a heart attack. Sometimes the heart muscle is so damaged that it can not beat any longer. Circulatory collapse is because with out the heart beating there is not a way to carry the oxygen / blood throughout the body. I am sorry that it was not presented in a way you could understand it. Death happens quickly. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself and know that your Mom loved you and she knew you loved her also.

I'm not a doc. but sounds like circulation to heart stopped because of heart attack. Myocardial Infarction is a heart attack.

I am sorry for your loss.
Myocardial infarction is a heart attack where an area of heart muscle stops getting blood and therefore dies. Usually an artery supplying blood to the heart itself become patialyy ot completely blocked. When a portion of dead heart muscle is responsible for proper circulation, the circulation of blood around the body stops or collapses. Heart attacks can occur in different parts of the heart which affects how the heart responds to the vessel blockage.

circulatory callapse is when the vains and circulatory system shut down or callapse. myocardial infarction is a heart attack.

so yes she did die of a heart attack if the doctor did in fact say that it was a myocardial infarction

Blood circulation stopped due to heart attack.
