Deaths from myocardial infarction

heart attack. The dangers and results of this horrific disease affect the lives of people all around the globe but primarily here at home in America. I am going to discuss the effects this disease has on many Americans each and every day. A myocardial infarction or what’s mostly known as a heart attack happens when a heart muscle doesn’t receive enough blood flow to sustain muscle activity. This occurs when the blood vessel is damaged and platelets clot up the damage to prevent bleeding. Over…

MI is the significant damage and death of heart muscles caused by a compromised blood flow. When blood flow to the heart is blocked by a blockage of a coronary artery, oxygen delivery to the heart muscles is compromised as well. According to Macon and Yu (2012), most common recognized sings…

in clients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and in clients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) (Mehta et al., 2012). Periprocedural major bleeding is a strong autonomous predictor of early and late major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality (Bertrand, Larose, & Rodes-Labau, 2009; Verneugt, Steinhubl, & Hamon, 2011; as cited in Bernat et al., 2014). In an investigation of more than three million PCIs from the U. S. national registry,…

The blockage harms part of the heart muscle because it is no longer getting oxygen from the blood. Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot, which blocks one of the coronary arteries (Emedicinozone, 2010). Occasionally, a heart attack can be caused by a spasm or tightening of the coronary artery. Coronary arteries are blood vessels…

hypertension (HTN) with a compelling indication of the post-myocardial infarction (post-MI). COPD is a progressive respiratory condition characterized by the inadequate airflow which makes the breathing more difficult. COPD patients are commonly treated with the bronchodilators such as the beta-2 adrenergic agonists.1 The beta-2 agonists stimulate…

One of the potential reasons for the excess risk of myocardial infarction(MI) or angina is associated with stress. In john’s condition is that stress triggers the sympathetic never systems by releasing hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. Increased sympathetic activity leading to increased blood pressure…

are short and terminate spontaneously. They occur with equal frequency in anterior and inferior infarctions (Ashok et al. 2011). This arrhythmia results from either (1) Failure or structural damage of the SA or AV nodal pacemaker or enhanced vagal tone leading to depres-sion of nodal automaticity and function and an escape…

Stress directly effects the body and its ability to function. An individual suffering from a high stress lifestyle is suspected to increase his or her risk not only to heart disease, but also to having a myocardial infarction (MI), more commonly known as a “heart attack”. MI describes the effects of blood blockage to part of the heart in which cardiac muscle either is damaged or dies. This particular medical condition presents an increased risk because its onset can be fatal. Physiologically,…

0.75, had undergone a PCI the probability of death or suffering an acute myocardial infarction was five times higher in the next five years than a similar angiographic severe lesion which is non-significant by FFR and treated medically(7). At two-year follow-up of the FAME study, in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent FFR-guided PCI with drug-eluting stents had a significant reduction in mortality and myocardial infarction compared to angiography-guided PCI group(12)…

and is the number 1 killer or people in the United States is Heart disease (Leading Causes of Death, 2015). Underlying the blanket term of Heart disease are some diagnoses such as CAD, HTN, and angina or narrowing of coronary arteries causing pain (Heart Disease, n.d.). The purpose of this paper is to elicit information about coronary artery disease and hypertension related to being post myocardial infarction and how that can lead to congestive heart failure exacerbation.
