What is acute myocardial infarction?

the evidence of myocardial injury is
an elevation of cardiac troponin, and
necrosis in a clinical setting consistent
with myocardial ischaemia. image

symptoms suggestiveof
ischaemia and ST-segment
elevation.

9
Electrocardiogram is very important for diagnosis

10
 Type 1: Infarction Due To Coronary Atherothrombosis

 Type 2: Infarction Due To A Supply–Demand Mismatch That Is

Not The Result Of Acute Atherothrombosis

 Type 3: Infarction Causing Sudden Death, Without The Opportunity

For Biomarker Or Ecg Confirmation

 Type 4.A: Infarction Related To A Percutaneous Coronary

Intervention (Pci)
 Type4.B Infarction Related To Thrombosis Of A Coronary Stent

 Type 5 :Infarction Related To Coronaryartery Bypass Grafting 11

 What is the plate made of atherothrombosis?
answer
 Bad cholesterol
 blockage in the arteries.
 LDL cholesterol can stick to the walls of your arteries
and produce plaque. Plaque is a hard substance that
blocks blood flow in the arteries. Blood platelets,
which help the blood to clot, may stick to the plaque
and build up over time.

What is bad cholesterol made of?

13
 Saturated fats are found mostly in meat and dairy
products, including beef, butter, and cheese.
These fats may lead to an arterial blockage by
increasing the amount of bad cholesterol in your
blood system and reducing the amount of good
cholesterol. 14

 Heart attacks require immediate treatment,
so most treatments begin in the emergency
room

20
 Blood thinners, such as aspirin, are often used to break up
blood clots and improve blood flow through narrowed
arteries.

 Thrombolytics are often used to dissolve clots.

 Antiplatelet drugs, such as clopidogrel, can be used to

prevent new clots from forming and existing clots from
growing.

 Nitroglycerin can be used to widen your blood vessels.

21
 Beta-blockers lower your blood pressure and relax your
heart muscle. This can help limit the severity of damage to
your heart.
 ACE inhibitors can also be used to lower blood pressure and
decrease stress on the heart.
 Pain relievers may be used to reduce any discomfort you
may feel.

 The main cause is coronary artery disease with insufficient blood
supply

 Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death for men and

women around the world
