Diese kommentierte medizinische 3D-Animation schildert die Entwicklung eines Herzinfarkts aufgrund einer blockierten Koronararterie, der infolge von Atherosklerose, einer chronischen Entzündung der Blutgefäße, entsteht. Die Animation beschreibt die Beschädigung der Arterieninnenwand und zeigt, wie eine weiße Blutzelle in die Arterienwand eindringt und dort zu einem Makrophagen wird, der Cholesterin sammelt und verdaut. Dabei verwandelt sich die Zelle in eine Schaumzelle, die in der Blutgefäßwand zur Bildung von Plaque führt. Im Laufe der Jahre sammelt sich soviel Plaque an, dass die Gefäßwand zerreißt und die Plaque in den Blutstrom abgibt. Dadurch kommt es schließlich zu einer Blockade des linken vorderen absteigenden Arterienasts (LAD), der die linke Herzkammer versorgt. Die Animation endet mit einer Außenansicht des Herzens, in der eine dunkle Fläche das abgestorbene Gewebe der Ventrikelwand anzeigt.
"Thank you for the wonderful illustrations. The case resulted in a defense verdict last Friday. I know [our medical expert witness] presented some challenges for you and I appreciate how you were able to work with him."

"I have a medical illustration created by Medical Legal Art at the beginning
of every case to tell the client's story, usually before I depose the
defendant doctor. The work product and cost-efficiency are outstanding. It
is a situation where, as a trial lawyer, I don't leave home without it."
Rockne Onstad

"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have
used their services for three years and always found their professionalism,
quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations.
We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical
malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the
other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9
million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in
helping us to successfully conclude these cases.
I highly recommend MLA to anyone seeking high quality, detailed medical
legal artwork."

"For us, the defining feature of effective demonstrative evidence is
whether, by itself, the piece will tell the story of the case. Medical legal
Art provides our firm with illustrations and animations that are clear and
persuasive. Their exhibits tell the story in a way that allows the jury to
understand a very complex subject, very quickly."
James D. Horwitz Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, P.C. Bridgeport, CT
Medical Legal Art creates medical demonstrative evidence (medical
illustrations, drawings, pictures, graphics, charts, medical animations,
anatomical models, and interactive presentations) for use during legal
proceedings, including research, demand letters, client conferences,
depositions, arbitrations, mediations, settlement conferences, mock jury
trials and for use in the courtroom. We do not provide legal or medical
advice. If you have legal questions, you should find a lawyer with whom you
can discuss your case issues. If you have medical questions, you should seek the advice of a healthcare provider.
