Myocardial infarction

Acute Myocardial Infartion. Over 30 years, the ratio of patient admitted to the hospital for myocardial Infarction dramatically decrease from 46,086 to 18,691 per year in 2008 . With the same trend, the proportion ST – segment elevation myocardical infarction (STEMI) also decline but the 30-day mortality after STEMI have no significant change [1] In addition, Sorajja et al reported that the proportion of Multivessel Coronary Disease in all the patient with ST segment Elevation Myocardial…

performed and revealed a significant ST segment elevation that is characteristic for MI. Also, the laboratory results of increased cardiac enzymes (myoglobin, troponin, and creatine kinase) confirm the occurrence of acute MI (Ye, 2013). In myocardial infarction, a myocardial necrosis occurs and specific cardiac enzymes are released into circulation. In Mrs. S case the elevated cardiac as…

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…

Introduction: about 9% of acute ischemic strokes are complicated with myocardial infarction, and about 2-6% of acute anterior wall myocardial infarctions are complicated with stroke. They occur at the same time or with a difference of several days. Case report: The patient is 47 years old female who had diagnosed lumbar disc disease and constant numbness in her left leg. The disease started with a permanent feeling of weakness in her left leg and transitory numbness in her left arm; at the same…

scholarly resources the paper will further explain the information that will be needed to know before performing the EKG on this new patient. A physician can request an EKG for different reasons in this scenario the patient has had a history with Myocardial Infarctions (MI’s) and when he comes in to the ER complaining of angina and shortness of breath the EKG technician notices another MI is present. Different procedures and blood tests can be done to open the coronary artery that is causing…

diagnosis of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); it consists of utilizing medications to diffuse the blockage in the infarcted artery. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an alternate reperfusion therapy which utilizes invasive procedures by the placing stints where the arterial blockage and clot is present. Fibrinolytic therapy has limitations such as; intracranial hemorrhaging, and higher risks of recurrent infarctions or ischemic cardiac events. For PCI…

echocardiographic technique that reveals subclinical myocardial damage, no available data on this imaging method with regard to assessing right ventricular involvement in single LAD lesion. Aim. to evaluate right ventricular regional functions using strain and strain rate imaging tissue Doppler method in patients with single LAD lesion . . Methods. The patient group was composed of 60 patients who had experienced first anterior myocardial infarction and had undergone successful…

An invasive approach including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes 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.…

THE CAUSES OF HEART ATTACK The onset of heart attack is a result of a portion of cardiac muscle having necrosis, which is caused by an obstruction of a coronary artery through artherosclerosis, a thrombus or spasm. Heart attack often occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of the heart muscle becomes blocked which is mostly a result of coronary heart disease (NIH, 2012). According to National Institutes (NIH), Coronary heart disease is a condition that is as a result of a waxy…

management of such concomitant disease states may be pharmacologically challenging as it is, for example, in the treatment of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 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…
