  1. infarct

    An infarct is an area of tissue within an organ or part of the body that has died due to a lack of blood supply, typically caused by a blockage in the blood vessels leading to that area. This blockage prevents nutrients and oxygen from reaching the tissue, causing necrosis or death of that tissue. Infarcts can occur in any part of the body, including the heart (resulting in a heart attack) or brain (leading to a stroke).
