	Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most important treatment in myocardial infarction is restoring the blood flow to the heart, by thrombolysis (enzymatically dissolving the clot in the artery) and/or angioplasty (using a balloon to push the artery open).
		Myocardial rupture is most common three to five days after myocardial infarction, commonly of small degree, but may occur one day to three weeks later, in as many as 10% of all MIs.
		Acute myocardial infarction is usually characterized by varying degrees of chest pain, discomfort, weakness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and arrhythmias, sometimes causing loss of consciousness.

		Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when the blood flow to the heart muscles stops or is reduced sufficiently for long enough to cause cell death.
		Owing to the high background risk of myocardial infarction in women with hypertension, and to the possible enhanced risk of myocardial infarction in such women from the use of combined oral contraceptives, women with known hypertension should be prescribed oral contraception only after careful clinical assessment.

	Myocardial Infarction
		The traditional concept that myocardial infarctions can be classified as transmural or nontransmural on the basis of the presence or absence of Q waves is misleading, since autopsy studies have demonstrated convincingly that pathologic Q waves may be associated with nontransmural infarction and may be absent with transmural infarction.
		The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries.
		In the United States, percutaneous coronary intervention and stenting are performed in 15 to 20 percent of patients who have myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, and an additional 20 to 40 percent undergo percutaneous coronary intervention within the subsequent six weeks.

	Heart Attack Myocardial Infarction
		A heart attack or myocardial infarction is a medical emergency in which the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly and severely reduced or cut off, causing the muscle to die from lack of oxygen.
		A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is usually caused by a blood clot that blocks an artery of the heart.

		In addition, the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction should be confirmed with serial ECGs and measurements of serum cardiac markers of myo cyte necrosis (eg, creatine kinase isoenzymes, cardiac-specific troponin T or I).
		Perhaps the newest and most important message to be found in the updated acute myocardial infarction guidelines relates to the fact that of the 900,000 people in the United States who experience acute myocardial infarction each year, about 20% die before reaching the hospital and 30% die within 30 days.
		Regardless of whether they receive thrombolytic therapy, patients with spontaneous myocardial ischemia or ischemia that is provoked days to weeks after acute myocardial infarction ordinarily should undergo elective angiographic evaluation with subsequent consideration of percutaneous or surgical revascularization.

	HeartPoint: Myocardial Infarction
		"Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients.
		The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction".
		This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood.

	Myocardial infarction
		Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the rapid development of myocardial necrosis resulting from a sustained and complete reduction of blood flow to a portion of the myocardium, produced by a superimposed thrombosis, generated by a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque
		Infarctions can be divided into Q-wave and non Q-wave, with the former being transmural and associated with totally obstructed infarct-related artery and the latter being non-transmural and associated with patent, but highly narrowed infarct-related artery
		After total occlusion myocardial necrosis is complete in 4-6 hours.
