Heart Attack(="Myocardial Infarction" Or MI) - WebHealth
Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- A heart attack, medically termed a myocardial infarction, can present with chest pains, but also with abdominal pain symptoms, particularly with an inferior wall MI. Worsening angina symptoms, such as chest and left arm pains, could be part of the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, as would shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, from congestive heart failure, and clammy skin or blue skin. Atypical chest pain may present as epigastric pain, nausea vomiting, which can come from an irritation of the phrenic nerve. Treatment for a heart attack consists of monitoring for arrhythmias, heart failure, hypotension and preventing cardiogenic shock. Arrhythmia medications, water pills (=diuretics), oxygen therapy, thrombolytic therapy, such as streptokinase, are all useful and often used in combination. More serious cases where coronary arteries are plugged, might need a PTCA or CABG done by heart specialists.
