	'''Infarction''' is a medical term that refers to the death of tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This can occur in any part of the body and is often the result of a blockage in the blood vessels that supply the affected area. Infarctions can lead to serious health complications and, in some cases, can be life-threatening.		'''Infarction''' is a medical term that refers to the death of tissue due to a lack of blood supply.
