Home Myocardial infarction Myocardial infarction / Heart attack Myocardial infarction News Facts and figures Living with a myocardial infarction Treatment ... Interactive learning What is a heart attack A heart attack (called a myocardial infarction) is the death of a portion of heart muscle in an area where there is sudden loss of blood supply. Orderly movement (transmission) of electrical signals in the heart is important for the regular beating (pumping) of the heart. Death of the heart muscle often causes chest pain and may cause electrical instability of the heart muscle tissue, resulting in a rapid and disorganised heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation). A heart undergoing ventricular fibrillation simply quivers, and cannot pump or deliver oxygenated blood to the brain. Permanent brain damage and death can occur unless oxygenated blood flow is quickly resumed. How do you get a heart attack? A heart attack is usually caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot forming. This occurs when there is advanced coronary artery disease in which the blood vessel, containing fatty deposits, is damaged. This encourages a blood clot to form on the damaged surface inside the artery. A coronary artery is an artery that supplies blood (along with essential nutrients) to the heart muscle.

Home Issues Email alerts Classifieds ... Search PubMed for related articles Editorials Changing times in the treatment of myocardial infarction James W Leitch MJA Infarct angioplasty has the potential to increase the disparity in outcomes between rural and urban patients with myocardial infarction The need for rapid treatment of coronary syndromes has been recognised for many years. Despite recent emphasis on the benefits of rapid thrombolysis, the main advantage of early presentation remains resuscitation from ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillation has been estimated to save about six times as many lives as thrombolytic treatment, but patients must reach medical assistance in time for it to be effective. On average, patients delay more than an hour before seeking help for symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, and about another hour elapses before they arrive at hospital. Attempts to shorten patient delay by education campaigns have been generally ineffective and, in recent years, efforts have been mainly directed towards expediting transport and hospital treatment of patients with myocardial infarction. In Australia, these efforts include fast-track pathways and delivering thrombolysis in emergency departments, before cardiological review.
