Myocardial infarction is a common and frequently occurring severe emergency condition in clinical practice. If not effectively treated, myocardial infarction can lead to serious complications that jeopardize life, and thus it requires effective treatment. Currently, there are various clinical treatment methods for myocardial infarction, including medication, intravascular stent implantation, and coronary artery bypass surgery among others. Based on the patient's constitution and the characteristics of the blood vessels, an effective treatment method should be selected under the guidance of a doctor to save the patient's life and improve the quality of life post-treatment.

What should be noted in daily life regarding myocardial infarction?

Myocardial infarction is a serious heart disease caused by coronary artery narrowing and blockage, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and necrosis, particularly in cases of extensive myocardial infarction. If not effectively treated, it can lead to severe complications such as heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmias. Therefore, it is essential to follow a doctor's guidance and use effective medications for emergency treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a pleasant mood, avoid irritability, consume easily digestible food, quit smoking and drinking, and primarily follow a low-fat, low-salt diet to keep the bowel movements regular. This helps prevent worsening of the condition due to improper diet and constipation, which can increase the cardiac burden.

How to self-rescue during a sudden myocardial infarction

If you suspect that you are suffering from acute myocardial infarction, it is necessary to take measures for self-treatment. If there is no one else around, then you should take the following measures for self-treatment. The first thing is to call 120 promptly so that professional emergency medical personnel can come to help. You can clearly tell the emergency personnel your home address, floor, and room number, and also keep your phone line clear to maintain contact. The second point is to take some medications such as aspirin or clopidogrel to inhibit platelets and manage lipid levels. The third aspect, if the chest pain is severe, is to take some fast-acting drugs that relieve myocardial ischemia, such as quick-acting heart-saving pills or musk heart-saving pills.

Is myocardial infarction dangerous?

Myocardial infarction is a very dangerous heart disease. If it occurs and is not treated effectively, serious complications can arise, including cardiogenic shock, mental disorders, and heart failure, which can lead to death in severe cases. Therefore, effective medication must be used for emergency treatment when myocardial infarction occurs. In daily life, to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction, one should first control blood pressure, adopt a low-sugar diet, reduce arteriosclerosis, and minimize damage to the coronary arteries to effectively avoid the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

Why is infusion administered for myocardial infarction?

Myocardial infarction is a severe emergency in clinical practice, requiring prompt rescue. If not treated urgently, it can lead to severe arrhythmias, heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. Medication administered intravenously can take effect quickly. Intravenous access can correct shock, arrhythmias, heart failure, and save the patient's life. Intravenous infusion can also provide sufficient nutrients and calories to patients with heart disease or myocardial infarction, promoting the repair of the myocardium.

How is myocardial infarction treated?

Myocardial infarction is a relatively common critical illness in our daily lives. Many patients often delay their condition severely due to untimely treatment, which becomes an important cause of disability and death. So how should myocardial infarction be treated? It should be treated from the following two aspects: First, acute myocardial infarction. For acute myocardial infarction, it is necessary to promptly open the occluded blood vessels, restore cardiac perfusion, and save viable myocardium. This can be achieved through emergency interventional treatment or thrombolytic therapy. Second, old myocardial infarction. At this time, treatment mainly involves taking oral aspirin and statins to stabilize the disease and prevent the condition from worsening or deteriorating. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
