arteries‚ causing a decreased blood supply to the myocardial layer of the heart‚ and prevents the arteries from dilating. As a result the tissue is deprived of oxygen necessary to thrive‚ which in turn can lead to myocardial ischemia‚ leading to several types of infarctions. Depending on the area of the ischemia‚ there can be several complications. For example‚ a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurs when there is a myocardial insufficiency caused by an occlusion that has completely

In patients with non-infarction ACS‚ spontaneous fibrinolysis of the thrombus occurs rapidly‚ minimizing ischemic insult; persistence of the occlusive thrombus‚ however‚ results in

treatments vary‚ depending on your signs‚ symptoms and overall health condition. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to a spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from those for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to presentations found in non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or in unstable angina. Pathophysiology Acute coronary syndrome is most often a complication of plaque buildup in the arteries in your heart. These plaques‚ made up of fatty deposits‚

In women it takes more time to diagnose a heart attack than in men‚ because of two things. First in some parts of the world women don’t receive

He demonstrated that‚ by blocking the cardiac beta-receptors‚ these agents could cause inhibitory effects on the sinus node (chronotropic effect)‚ atrioventricular node (dromotropic effect)‚ and on myocardial contractility (inotropic effect).1 It is important to note that not all beta receptors (β-receptors) are the same. There are two clinically targeted types of beta receptors in the human body: beta 1 (β1) receptors which are mostly located on the

lead. The main purpose of electrocardiogram technology is to allow the members of the medical treatment team to examine what is going on in the heart in regards to myocardial ischemia‚ injury and necrosis. A brief overview of these processes is as follows: Myocardial ischemia occurs when myocardial oxygen demand rises above myocardial oxygen supply. If the diseased artery is not able to supply the increased demand‚ ischemia occurs and the patient may complain of chest pain‚ also known as angina
