You are still welcome to make a donation or purchase Wikimedia merchandise Myocardial infarction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream. (Please note: the details of artery disease and occlusion, as illustrated in the image above, are misleading; see the links.) Acute myocardial infarction AMI or MI ), commonly known as a heart attack , is a serious, sudden heart condition usually characterized by varying degrees of chest pain or discomfort, weakness, sweating, nausea vomiting , and arrhythmias, sometimes causing loss of consciousness. It occurs when a part of the heart muscle is injured, and this part may die because of sudden total interruption of blood flow to the area. It is often a life-threatening medical emergency which demands both immediate attention and activation of the emergency medical services . The medical term myocardial infarction comes from "myo" referring to muscle , "cardium" referring to the heart ( myocardium is the heart muscle) and " infarction " meaning tissue death, in this case caused by an obstruction of blood flow. (The phrase "heart attack" is occasionally used to refer to heart problems other than a myocardial infarction, such as unstable

References National Guidelines ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Related Information LIVE CME 6th Annual Intensive Review of Cardiology Cardiology for the Clinician The Atrial Fibrillation Summit Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as death or necrosis of myocardial cells. It is a diagnosis at the end of the spectrum of myocardial ischemia or acute coronary syndromes. Myocardial infarction occurs when myocardial ischemia exceeds a critical threshold and overwhelms myocardial cellular repair mechanisms that are designed to maintain normal operating function and hemostasis. Ischemia at this critical threshold level for an extended time period results in irreversible myocardial cell damage or death. The most common etiology of MI is a thrombus superimposed on a ruptured or unstable atherosclerotic plaque.

Brick Garrigues, separated from his wife, unhappy in his job, a cigarette smoker, trying to become a successful writer, suffers a myocardial infarction. http://www.ulwaf.com/He-Usually/45heart.html

TOP He Usually Lived With a Female by George Garrigues Internet version A series of articles based upon the life of Charles Harris (Brick) Garrigues as revealed in his letters and other writing A Los Angeles cop once wrote about Brick Garrigues: "Joined C.P. summer of 1936. Sent by Grover and Gladys Johnson to S.F. to investigate for C.P. in murder trial . . . Member C.P. fraction Newspaper Guild . . . This is the man whose ears were knocked down by Tom Cavett in 1936. Age 30 - 6 ft. 2 in. 195 lbs. Red sandy hair. Unscrupulous writer. Usually lives with a female. Not active lately." Brick's son wrote: I held a mystery in my hand: two sheets of aged paper, browned by the passage of some seventy years, bits and pieces flaking off in my fingers, scattering on the carpet. As I contemplated these brittle pages, I came to realize that I had to find the answers, to find the man behind the words: This man whom I had known for so many years, but had scarcely known at all. This comforter of small children. This wearer of hats and smoker of pipes. This reader and writer of books. This twentieth century man, this flawed man; my father, Charles Harris Garrigues. And so I went looking for him.

Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Myocardial infarction (MI) is caused by a blood clot in a heart (coronary) artery. Phone for medical help immediately if you get sudden severe chest pain. 'Clot busting' medication should be given as soon as possible to prevent damage to heart muscle. Also, other treatments help to ease the pain and prevent complications. Reducing 'risk factors' can help to prevent an MI. What is a myocardial infarction? Myocardial infarction (MI) means that part of the heart muscle suddenly loses it's blood supply. Without prompt treatment, this can lead to damage to the affected part of the heart. MI is sometimes called a heart attack or coronary thrombosis. Understanding the heart and coronary arteries The heart is mainly made of special muscle. The heart muscle pumps blood into arteries (blood vessels) which take the blood to every part of the body. Like any other muscle, the heart muscle needs a good blood supply. The coronary arteries take blood to the heart muscle. The main coronary arteries branch off from the aorta. (The aorta is the large artery which takes oxygen-rich blood from the heart chambers to the body.) The main coronary arteries divide into smaller branches which take blood to all parts of the heart muscle. What happens when you have a myocardial infarction?

After a Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) This leaflet briefly discusses the common advice that applies to most people who have had a myocardial infarction (MI or 'heart attack'). It mainly discusses ways to reduce the risk of further heart problems. What is a myocardial infarction? Myocardial infarction (MI) means that part of the heart muscle suddenly loses it's blood supply. Without prompt treatment, this can lead to damage to the affected part of the heart. It is usually caused by a blood clot in a heart (coronary) artery which forms over a patch of atheroma (fatty deposit). Another leaflet called Myocardial Infarction discusses MI in more detail. What can I do to help after having a myocardial infarction? Following an MI, there are things that you can do to reduce the risk of further heart problems. Everyone is different and individual circumstances will vary. You should discuss with a doctor or nurse what is best for you. This leaflet aims to complement any advice that you may receive. Smoking If you smoke, giving up smoking is the single most effective way to reduce your risk of having a further MI. The chemicals in cigarette smoke affect the arteries. If you stop smoking, your risk of a further MI is roughly halved compared to the risk if you continue to smoke. Angina pains are also more likely to develop in smokers.
