Acute Myocardial Infarction...?Acute Myocardial Infarction Case Study A 29-year-old female patient was admitted to the internal medicine department with epigastric pain, continuous colic, nausea, and vomiting. The ECG demonstrated an old anterior wall myocardial infarction. The serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) and cardiac troponin T (TnT) levels were normal. Seven days later, the patient had sudden onset orthopnea, followed by respiratory and cardiac arrest. The patient was transferred to the ICU after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patient's BP was 80/40 mm Hg; the pulse was 130 bpm. The shock was corrected via the application of the presser and respirator supported ventilation. During the ICU...

Myocardial Infarction...Myocardial Infarction
Introduction.
Myocardial infarctions or acute myocardial infarction (MI) is commonly called heart attack and is a serious disease of coronary which occurs due hardening or narrowing of arteries when cholesterol plaque builds up. Blockage of arteries leads to a major reduction of blood supply, consequently causing necrosis (death or damage) of heart muscles (myocardium) or myocardium ischemia as the heart muscles are not served with oxygenated blood for quite some time (Life nurses forum:Nursing care plans for Myocardial infarction (MI)) (Imagins website:The women health resource,Overview of myocardial infarction.).
The infarction site depends on which vessels are involved. For example, if blockage occurs... in...

The Myocardial Infarction Case... The Myocardial Infarction Case Study
Introduction
This essay covers a case study of 65-year old woman, Margo McCaffery, who is presented at an emergency department feeling sick. The essay covers mainly, the pieces of assessment data in support of diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and an explanation of the pathophysiology of each piece of data. Myocardial infarction (MI) is also called heart attack, which occurs due to, the formation of occlusive thrombus after the rapture of an atheromatous plaque in a coronary artery (Davidson, 2008)....

Myocardial Infarction...?Case Study: Myocardial Infarction Pathophysiology Myocardial infarction occurs as a result of imbalance between the demand and supply of oxygen to the muscles of the heart that is critical enough to result in necrosis of the myocardium. This occurs due to rupture of a plague in coronary artery leading to sudden reduction of blood supply to the portion of myocardium supplied by the coronary artery. Plagues are deposits of cholesterol over the wall of the blood vessels. They are formed due to gradual deposition over a period of time (Alpert et al, 2000). Sometimes, plaques rupture and can result in blood clots within blood vessels. These clots block the blood vessel and...

Myocardial Infarction...Myocardial Infarction Heart is the most vital organ in the body. It is the muscular pump that supplies blood to every organ and tissue to sustain life. Its own blood supply is however critical to life. The adequate function of heart depends upon the balance between its own metabolic demand and the supply of blood. An imbalance in this predisposes the heart muscle to ischemia, which means reduced blood flow. The tissue death as a result of ischemia occurs because of two reasons, reduced oxygen supply and the decreased delivery of nutrients, both of which are brought in by the flow of blood though the heart muscle. The area deprived of blood supply is said to have suffered ischemic injury. The ischemic...

Myocardial Infarction...Critical Analysis of Articles The purpose of this essay is documentation of critical analysis of two articles on myocardial infarction. One article is on diagnosis especially in critically ill individuals who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) while the other article is on various options for managing a case of myocardial infarction. Although, the main topic of the two articles is the same, myocardial infarction, otherwise these two articles are entirely different as far as the type of articles is concerned. One article is based on the original research carried out in icu of a hospital setting but the second one is debate on the choices of different management strategies for a case of acute myocardial infarction... in that...

Obstructive Uropathy and Myocardial Infarction...Obstructive Uropathy and Myocardial Infarction in the Clinical Case: Pathophysiology Related to Clinical Case and How these Two Diagnoses Affect Each Other
Introduction: Obstruction to the flow of urine, with attendant stasis and elevation in urinary tract pressure, impairs renal and urinary conduit functions and is a common cause of acute and chronic renal failure. With early relief of obstruction, the defects in function usually disappear completely. However, chronic obstruction may produce permanent loss of renal mass. and excretory capability, as well as enhanced susceptibility to local infection and stone formation. Early diagnosis and prompt therapy are therefore essential to minimize...

Myocardial Infarction
The start of the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes like AMI lies in the formation of plaque. The American Heart Association has named these plaques as developed human fibrolipid plaques. Such plaques form as a result of low density lipoproteins being oxidized and consumed by macrophages. In this process the macrophages are transformed into foam cells, which accumulate within the smooth muscle cell layer of coronary arteries to form...

Myocardial Infarction...MYCARDIAL INFARCTION By 20 March Myocardial Infarction Introduction Myocardial infarction is often cited among the leading causes of human death. Caused by the death of a heart muscle, myocardial infarction (or, simply, heart attack) usually reflects in chest pain and the feeling of chest pressure. Timely identification and diagnosis of myocardial infarction in all groups of patients is the basic prerequisite for saving thousands of lives. Timely and proper diagnosis, however, is possible only with the detailed knowledge of myocardial infarction etiology,...
