    Myocardial Infarction

    Uploaded by

    Vidhuma Vidhuma
    Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is caused by reduced blood flow in a coronary artery due to atherosclerosis and occlusion by a thrombus or embolism. This causes irreversible damage to myocardial tissue from prolonged ischemia and hypoxia. MI can occur in different regions of the left ventricle and have multiple etiological factors like age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, stress, and family history of heart disease. Diagnosis involves testing serum cardiac markers like CPK, LDH, and troponins along with ECG changes and imaging modalities such as MRI, chest X-ray, angiography and PET scans.

    MSC(N)1ST Years
    DEFINITION
    MI is defined as a diseased condition which is
    caused by reduced blood flow in a coronary artery
    due to atherosclerosis & occlusion of an artery by an
    embolus or thrombus. MI or heart attack is the
    irreversible damage of myocardial tissue caused by
    prolonged ischemia & hypoxia
    TYPES OF INFARCTS
    According to anatomic region of left ventricle
    involved:
     Anterior
     Posterior
     Lateral
     Septal
     Circumferential
     Combinations- Anterolateral, Posterolateral,
    Anteroseptal
    ETIOLOGY
     Age
     Tobacco smoking
     Gender
     Hypertension
     Diabetes
     Drug abuse

     Obesity
     Family history of Ischaemic
     Stress
    Heart Disease
     Alcohol
     Hyperhomocysteinemia
     Chronic kidney disease
