Myocardial infarction is a severe and urgent medical condition. When myocardial infarction occurs, it is imperative to call emergency services (dial 120) and transport the patient to the emergency department of a standard hospital for urgent medical treatment. If acute myocardial infarction is not effectively treated, it can lead to serious complications and, in severe cases, death. Therefore, rescue treatment must be carried out. After routine examinations in a standard hospital, effective measures should be taken to alleviate the patient's pain and save their life. During the recovery phase of acute myocardial infarction, it is standard to adjust medications at the department of cardiology, using drugs that activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dilate coronary arteries, nourish the myocardium, improve myocardial blood supply, and prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction. (This answer is for reference only. Please seek guidance from a professional physician before using any medication, and do not self-medicate.)

The difference between myocardial infarction and myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction and myocardial necrosis have no significant difference; both are caused by the blockage of coronary arteries leading to ischemic necrosis of the heart muscle. The mechanism of onset and the pathologic changes are the same. In the event of a myocardial infarction, immediate resuscitation treatment is necessary. Without timely treatment, the infarcted area may increase and complications can occur. Common complications include heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock, which can be severe enough to cause death. In the case of a myocardial infarction, it is essential to administer effective medications under the guidance of a doctor to reduce the infarcted area and minimize complications.

What is good to eat for myocardial infarction?

After suffering from myocardial infarction, it is necessary to use effective drug treatments under the guidance of a doctor, and at the same time, dietary structure should be appropriately adjusted. Consume easily digestible foods and avoid spicy and greasy foods. You can eat some foods containing high-quality protein, high vitamins, and high trace elements, such as milk, eggs, lean meat of animals, and sea cucumber. These foods contain high-quality protein, which can enhance immunity and promote the repair of myocardial tissue. Consume more vegetables containing crude fiber, such as celery, spinach, and winter melon. These vegetables can not only supplement trace elements and vitamins but also help in easing bowel movements, relieving constipation, and reducing the burden on the heart. Focus on consuming green leafy vegetables. For fruits, choose kiwi, grapefruit, and oranges which are rich in vitamin C and potassium. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid strong tea, coffee, and foods that are too cold, too hot, spicy, or stimulating.

Can people with myocardial infarction drink coffee?

Patients with myocardial infarction should not drink coffee. After suffering a myocardial infarction, it is crucial to immediately go to the hospital for emergency treatment. Failure to receive timely treatment can lead to serious complications, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Patients with myocardial infarction need to rest, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid eating irritating foods. Coffee contains caffeine, which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. Consuming coffee can excite patients, increase heart rate, and lead to increased oxygen consumption by the heart, which increases the burden on the heart and adversely affects the condition.

Is vomiting severe in myocardial infarction?

Patients with myocardial infarction often have a history of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. They usually experience repeated episodes of angina. After angina, the chest pain persists and cannot be alleviated, often including feelings of chest oppression and pressure. Some patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, and fainting, but most do not have severe vomiting. Some patients, because of inferior wall myocardial infarction or posterior wall myocardial infarction, may develop right ventricular dysfunction, or during the treatment process, due to decreased appetite, may suffer from severe vomiting caused by low potassium and low sodium levels. However, this can generally be corrected through treatment.
