Indeed, efforts are ongoing to promote rapid identification and treatment of patients with acute MI, including (1) patient education about the symptoms of acute MI and appropriate actions to take and (2) prompt initial care of the patient by the community emergency medical system.
Ideally, a health care provider should screen you during regular checkups for risk factors that can lead to a heart attack. A heart attack is often diagnosed in an emergency setting. If you've had or are having a heart attack, care providers will take immediate steps to treat your condition.
Objectives: Review the basic pathophysiology of myocardial infarction. Explain the management protocol when presented with acute myocardial infarction, including all necessary laboratory and other diagnostic testing. Summarize the long-term management and rehabilitation for a patient post-MI.
Management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) (STEMI) relies on two essential and key components: rapid recognition and timely reperfusion. Therefore, systems must be placed and...
Bypass surgery: Treats blocked heart arteries by creating new pathways around the clot so blood can flow to your heart muscle. Minimally invasive heart surgery: An alternative to standard bypass surgery using small incisions.
Herein, we review evidence regarding the prevalence and outcome of patients classified according to the UDMI, and propose a practical approach to the assessment and management of patients presenting with myocardial injury, with a focus on type 2 MI and nonischemic myocardial injury. Universal Definition of MI.
Objectives: Identify the signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction through comprehensive patient assessment and interpretation of diagnostic findings. Assess the severity and extent of myocardial damage using diagnostic tests such as electrocardiography (ECG), cardiac biomarkers, and imaging modalities.
Staged percutaneous intervention (while in hospital or after discharge) of a significantly stenosed nonculprit artery in patients presenting with an ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction is recommended in select patients to improve outcomes.
Patients with severe and acute myocardial infarction (ie, ST-elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]) require rapid diagnosis and treatment to reduce the risk of death and permanent myocardial injury [1]. This topic provides an overview of STEMI management from presentation to the period immediately after revascularization.
This guideline provides a comprehensive overview of the management of patients presenting with Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) from the point of diagnosis and risk stratification at initial presentation, through to long-term management after the initial hospitalisation period.
