Myocardia Infraction Research Paper

A myocardia infraction occurs from myocardial ischemia, there is a demise in blood supply to the heart that causes the heart to work faster causing cell damage or death. The treatment goal for a patient that has suffered a myocardia infraction is to restore blood flow to the heart for maximum salvage of functional myocardium. A treatment option for Mr. Garza is the use of Antiplatelet Agents, using aspirin immediately has shown to lower mortality rates from myocardia infraction. “Aspirin irreversibly interferes with function of cyclooxygenase and inhibits the formation of thromboxane A2. Within minutes, aspirin prevents additional platelet activation and interferes with platelet adhesion and cohesion. This effect benefits all patients with
These two as well as Beta blocker therapy can alter a situation for a patient with a failing heart. Beta blockers decrease the chance of ventricular arrhythmias that can occur in a heart that is not properly treated by causing slower heart contractions and slowing down the heart rate so the heart doesn’t need as much immediate oxygen. Along with these noninvasive treatment in very severe situations there will be the option for a Coronary Angioplasty surgery to remove plaque buildup from the coronary artery or to add a stent and open the artery more. Another option is Coronary Bypass Surgery. This procedure is when a vein is taken from the patient’s leg, arm or chest area and added to the heart to create a new pathway for blood flow into the heart. Due to past history of Mr. Garza with his chest pain and recent heart attack I feel he is a candidate for the coronary angioplasty surgery, but with his undocumentation I feel that financially and with his responsibility to his family of needing to work I don’t see it in his best interest. At the moment having him reduce stress hours at work with a steady medication possible aspirin can help begin to strengthen his
