Anterior myocardial infarction refers to a type of heart attack where the blockage occurs in the front part of the heart, typically due to an obstruction in the left coronary artery. This type of infarction can be particularly serious because the anterior wall of the heart is responsible for a significant portion of the heart's pumping function. The blockage deprives the heart muscle of oxygen-rich blood, leading to damage or death of the heart muscle cells.
