Additionally, clinically significant depressive symptoms are present in other patients whose symptom severity or duration does not meet established criteria for a diagnosis of major depression. Over the last decade, increasing evidence suggests that in addition to its effect on quality of life, post-MI depression also deserves attention because of a reported relation to increased morbidity and mortality.

WHY CHOOSE UVA Search This Site What is a heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI)? A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle. The blockage is often a result of atherosclerosis - a buildup of plaque, known as cholesterol, and other fatty substances. Plaque inhibits and obstructs the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, thus reducing the flow to the rest of the body.

Management of acute myocardial infarction Synopsis of ACC and AHA practice guidelines Thomas J. Ryan, MD VOL 102 / NO 5 / NOVEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the first of five articles on myocardial infarction Preview : The average time that elapses from a patient's first awareness of heart attack symptoms to start-up of specific reperfusion therapy is currently 4 hours. The National Heart Attack Alert Program wants to see this time reduced to 2 hours. Such dispatch would surely benefit patients, because when it comes to thrombolytic therapy, the sooner the better. Dr Ryan summarizes the new recommendations for handling patients with acute myocardial infarction rapidly and efficiently, from the 911 call and transport to the emergency department, through the important first 24 hours of hospitalization, to hospital discharge and long-term management. T he American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association recently updated the guidelines for managing acute myocardial infarction, which are intended for physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare personnel who attend to patients with suspected or established infarction. The guidelines are published in their entirety in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (November 1996) (1) and include specific recommendations on 35 separate treatment aspects. Each series of recommendations regarding indications for a diagnostic procedure, a particular therapy, or an intervention are classified as class I, II, or III (table 1) according to the weight of evidence and the degree of agreement that such therapy or intervention is beneficial, useful, and effective.

Arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction Evaluation and management of rhythm and conduction abnormalities Philip J. Podrid, MD VOL 102 / NO 5 / NOVEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This is the fourth of five articles on myocardial infarction Preview : Patients with myocardial infarction can experience a wide range of arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities, from transient and relatively innocuous sinus bradycardia to life-threatening ventricular fibrillation. This nuts-and-bolts article covers all the possibilities, emphasizing the clinical significance of the various arrhythmias and their evaluation and treatment. Also included are indications for temporary and permanent pacemaker placement based on the revised ACC/AHA guidelines. V arious types of rhythm or conduction abnormalities can occur during or following an acute myocardial infarction. Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (most commonly, atrial fibrillation) generally occur with a rapid heart rate and may cause or exacerbate ischemia, provoke a serious sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, or induce or worsen heart failure. However, such arrhythmias are usually not life-threatening. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias may be asymptomatic and relatively innocuous (eg, ventricular premature beats), asymptomatic but of prognostic importance (eg, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia), or sustained and symptomatic or life-threatening (eg, sustained monomorphic or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation).

Evaluation DETECTION of MYOCARDIAL NECROSIS / ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Detection of acute myocardial necrosis can be done with Technetium-pyrophosphate or by In-antimyosin antibody imaging which has recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. With both these 2 tracers, positive results are obtained only 24-48 hours after acute infarction and therefore, the clinical utility of these techniques have been limited. The main indication being patients with equivocal diagnosis of acute infarction or those who arrive late to the hospital and in whom the enzymes changes may have been missed (Figure 9). On the horizon, however, there is a new agent called Tc-glucurate which produces positive results within an hour after acute myocardial infarction and this technique may prove to be useful in patients with chest pains but nondiagnostic ECG or enzyme changes.

@import "../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Link to Back issues listing Back Issue Listing with content Index Subject Index Getting better - myocardial infarction Study Results Comment Again, we tend to think of EBM as a result about a particular intervention, achieved usually through a systematic review (and probably some form of meta-analysis), or with results from a solid randomised trial. Yet healthcare is multidimensional, and often involves complex packages of care, of which a single intervention may play only a small part. Bandolier 100 highlighted a study from South Derbyshire showing that over five years from 1995 to 1999 mortality over 30 days and one year after a heart attack showed consistent year-on-year reductions, alongside improvements in the use of treatments for which there was a strong evidence base. Bandolier had overlooked a US report showing the same thing, but over a longer period [1]. Study The review used data from a variety of sources, including population-based studies reporting at least 10 years of data to determine changes in intervention rates for different therapies, meta-analyses of randomised trials to estimate benefit, and incidences of myocardial infarction in the US from a national hospital discharge survey. From these, a 30-day mortality was calculated, and the contribution of various treatment changes calculated. Results The main results are shown in Table 1. The age and sex adjusted incidence of myocardial infarction fell between 1975 and 1995 by 29%, with most of the reduction in the early 1990s. More people had hypertension. Over the period the average age of patients with myocardial infarction increased by five years, with 7% more women diagnosed.

Putting evidence into action is when we should get the benefits. But do we? Demonstration that use of evidence makes a difference is something that many of us want to see. A report from Derbyshire [1] indicates that for mortality after heart attack, we are beginning to get big gains. Study This took place in the health district of South Derbyshire, which has a population of 560,000 with common computerised patient administration and pathology systems. All patients admitted with a coding of acute myocardial infarction over the five years of 1995 to 1999 were obtained, with information from the pathology system about measurements for creatine kinase. Excluded were patients with a coding of myocardial infarction but who had no creatine kinase measured, about 4% of the total. The pathology database was also interrogated for blood lipids in the year after the date of admission. Results There were 5,166 admissions over the five years, two thirds men and two thirds under 75 years old. Creatine kinase tests were requested on 4,912 of them, and 3,382 survived at least one year.

General Medical Officer (GMO) Manual: Clinical Section: Cardiovascular Disorders Myocardial Infarction Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed (1) Introduction The diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the operational setting can be both difficult and challenging. The underlying principle in the General Medical Officer's (GMO) treatment of AMI should be the rapid stabilization and earliest possible medical evacuation of the patient to a medical facility with the appropriate Intensive Care Unit/Cardiac Care Unit (ICU/CCU) and support capabilities. The maximum effort should be made to ensure, whenever possible, that the patient with AMI is electrically and hemodynamically stable and pain free before transfer. Treatment of cardiac arrest or hemodynamically significant arrhythmias should follow the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) guidelines. (2) History The diagnosis of AMI is primarily based on an appropriate clinical history. The clinician must maintain a high index of suspicion as patient complaints of chest discomfort may vary considerably. Usually lasting for greater than 30 minutes, the discomfort generally is described as a severe retrosternal squeezing, choking, or heavy pressure sensation. It may radiate to the shoulders, down the ulnar aspect of the left arm, into the neck or jaw. The patient will often report associated diaphoresis or shortness of breath. A history of antecedent exertional chest discomfort can often be elicited.

Useful Organisations You are here: Home Patient Information Anatomy / treatment Myocardial Infarction What is a myocardial infarction? Myocardial infarction means heart attack, or coronary thrombus. Myocardium is the name for the heart muscle. Infarction means the death of a muscle, tissue or organ as a result of a blockage of the blood supply to it. The heart muscle needs oxygen to survive. The coronary arteries deliver oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. When one or more of the arteries supplying the heart blocks, the oxygen supply to the myocardium stops, and the part of the heart supplied by that particular artery dies. This is a myocardial infarction. What causes a myocardial infarction? A myocardial infarction is usually caused by disease of the coronary arteries. Arteries are like pipes with blood flowing through them. In coronary artery disease, the arteries become narrowed, usually because of fatty deposits of cholesterol and other substances. This process is known as atherosclerosis. The deposits are collectively known as atheroma, with a fibrous layer on top. Sometimes this fibrous layer ruptures or becomes damaged and roughened and platelets (blood cells involved in clot formation) can stick to this damaged area and form a clot. This clot can completely block the blood flow through the coronary artery, causing a myocardial infarction.
