Which of the following occurs during a myocardial infarction? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
energy levels decrease
B
circulation speeds up
C
muscles become weaker
D
energy levels increase

During a myocardial infarction, reduced blood flow deprives heart muscle cells of oxygen. They make less energy, so energy levels decrease, and the affected heart muscle contracts more weakly. Circulation does not simply speed up, and energy levels do not increase.
