A heart attack occurs when an artery leading to the heart becomes totally blocked. A heart attack is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else is having the symptoms listed below. Signs and Symptoms What Causes It? Atherosclerosis, the process of plaque buildup in an artery until it becomes closed, is the most frequent cause of heart attacks. Heart attacks can also result from heart-muscle spasms or hereditary heart problems. The following increase your risk of having a heart attack. Smoking High-fat diet, excess body weight

    Extractions: Test for the Flash Player Download Flash Player Despite considerable advances in diagnosis and management over the last three decades, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a major public health problem. In the United States nearly 1.5 million patients annually suffer from AMI. Although the acute mortality of AMI is decreasing in the U.S., the prevalence of ischemic cardiomyopathy is rapidly increasing due to an increased life expectancy, and the morbidity, mortality, and economic costs related to ischemic cardiomyopathy are steadily increasing. Almost all myocardial infarctions result from acute transbotic occlusion of pre-existing arteriosclerotic plagues of coronary arteries, which has been mimicked by ligation of the left coronary artery in a variety of animal models, including rats and mice. Myocardial infarction induces global changes in the ventricular architecture, a process called ventricular remodeling. The infarcted heart progressively dilates and accelerates the deterioration of ventricular dysfunction that eventually results in heart failure. As seen in other models of cardiac dysfunction, fetal-type genes, such as ANP and b -MHC genes, are activated (Weber, 1997). At 4 weeks after MI, collagen types I and III and cytokine gene expression increases (Yue et al., 1998). These genes serve as positive control marker genes in systematically evaluating gene expression profiles associated with ventricular remodeling and heart failure after MI.

    Extractions: EDWARD F. ELLERBECK, M.D., M.P.H. A patient information handout on beta blockers, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1865. Although beta-adrenergic blockers can significantly reduce mortality after a myocardial infarction, these agents are prescribed to only a minority of patients. Underutilization of beta blockers may be attributed, in part, to fear of adverse effects, especially in the elderly and in patients with concomitant disorders such as diabetes or heart failure. However, studies have shown that such patients are precisely the ones who derive the greatest benefit from beta blockade. Advancing age or the presence of potentially complicating disease states is usually not a justification for withholding beta-blocker therapy. With use of cardioselective agents and through careful dosing and monitoring, the benefits of beta blockers after myocardial infarction far outweigh the potential risks in most patients.

    Extractions: Heart Disease Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Format for Printing Main Menu: Overview of Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a serious result of coronary artery disease . Coronary artery disease occurs from atherosclerosis, when arteries become narrow or hardened due to cholesterol plaque build-up. Further narrowing may occur from thrombi (blood clots) that form on the surfaces of plaques. Myocardial infarction occurs when a coronary artery is so severely blocked that there is a significant reduction or break in the blood supply, causing damage or death to a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle). Depending on the extent of the heart muscle damage, the patient may experience significant disability or die as a result of myocardial infarction. In addition to atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction may result from a temporary contraction or spasm of a coronary artery. When this occurs, the artery narrows and the blood flow from the artery is significantly reduced or stopped. Though the cause of coronary artery spasm is still unknown, the condition can occur in both normal blood vessels and those partially blocked by plaques.

    The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries.  
    http://www.rjmatthewsmd.com/Definitions/myocardial_infarction.htm
    
    Extractions: This term refers to the death of a certain segment of the heart muscle (myocardium), usually the result of a focal complete blockage in one of the main coronary arteries or a branch thereof. The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Refer to figure 70 for the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction. This event results in impaired contractility of the heart muscle within seconds, and is initially restricted to the affected segment. The myocardial ischemia or infarction begins in the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) and spreads to the epicardium (the outer lining of the heart). Irreversible heart damage will occur if the blockage is complete for at least 15-20 minutes. Irreversible damage occurs maximally in the area at risk, and when the occlusion is maintained for 4-6 hours. Most of the damage occurs in the first 2-3 hours. Restoration of flow within the first 4-5 hours is associated with salvage of the heart muscle, but the salvage is greater if flow is restored in the first 1-2 hours. A major determinant of death and illness is the size of the infarct. Increasing the oxygen supply to the involved site of blockage by coronary reperfusion (angioplasty, figures

    Extractions: @import url("/layout.css"); Search: Prepared on behalf of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease The Myocardial Infarction Audit Project (MINAP) began in late 1998 when a broadly based steering group developed a data set for acute myocardial infarction. This allowed clinicians to examine the management of myocardial infarction within their hospitals against targets specified by the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease (NSF). The project uses a highly secure electronic system of data entry, transmission and analysis developed by the Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD). The system uses encryption of patient identifiers to allow secure transfer of data between hospitals and central servers. In 2002 the dataset was revised to cover acute coronary syndromes and align with other coronary disease data sets. Continuous online data analysis is available to hospitals showing their performance against NSF targets for delays to thrombolysis and use of secondary prevention medication in comparison to aggregate data. Quarterly reports are available for hospitals, Strategic Health Authorities, the Healthcare Commission and the Department of Health. MINAP is the first national audit to release annual reports showing hospital performance against NSF targets in the public domain which are available below.

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Illustration Illustration Myocardial infarction (MI) is a heart attack. It occurs when there is a sudden, complete blockage of blood flow to a portion of heart muscle. Myocardial infarction is one of the most common diseases in the US and causes a large number of deaths every year. Myocardial infarction may occur at any time and often occurs without warning. As we grow older, our coronary arteries may become narrowed by the buildup of cholesterol plaque. When the arteries narrow, less blood can go through them, and less oxygen gets to the heart muscle. The process of narrowing is called atherosclerosis. The narrower the artery becomes, the more likely it is that a blood clot may form and block the artery completely, causing a heart attack. Sometimes sudden blockages can occur even in places where the artery was not narrow before. A heart attack may occur when the heart muscle needs more oxygen than the blood vessels can provide. This might happen, for example, during hard exercise such as shoveling snow, or with a sudden increase in blood pressure. Less commonly, a heart attack can occur due to coronary spasm. Coronary spasm is a sudden and temporary narrowing of a small part of an artery that supplies blood to the heart. It may be caused by smoking or drugs such as cocaine.
