7urther treatment may include either medications to break down blood clots that block the blood flow
to the heart, or mechanically restoring the flow by dilatation or bypass surgery of the blocked coronary
artery. +oronary care unit admission allows rapid and safe treatment of complications such as abnormal
heart rhythms.
B.Epidemiology
Myocardial infarction is a common presentation of ischemic heart disease. The *8 estimated
that in 3$$3, 43.9: of deaths worldwide were from ischemic heart disease. Ischemic heart disease is
the leading cause of death in deeloped countries, but third to AI'; and lower respiratory infections in
deeloping countries.

modifiable risk factors include age, gender, and family history of an early heart attack (before the age
of 9$), which is thought of as reflecting a genetic predisposition.
;ocioeconomic factors such as a shorter education and lower income (particularly in women),
and liing with a partner may also contribute to the risk of MI. To understand epidemiological study
results, itBs important to note that many factors associated with MI mediate their risk ia other factors.
7or example, the effect of education is partially based on its effect on income and marital status.
omen who use combined oral contraceptie pills hae a modestly increased risk of myocardial
infarction, especially in the presence of other risk factors, such as smoking.
Inflammation is known to be an important step in the process of atherosclerotic pla-ue formation.
+reactie protein (+6) is a sensitie but nonspecific marker for inflammation. /leated +6 blood
leels, especially measured with high sensitiity assays, can predict the risk of MI, as well as stroke
and deelopment of diabetes. Moreoer, some drugs for MI might also reduce +6 leels. The use of
high sensitiity +6 assays as a means of screening the general population is adised against, but it
may be used optionally at the physicianBs discretion, in patients who already present with other risk
factors or known coronary artery disease. hether +6 plays a direct role in atherosclerosis remains
uncertain.
Inflammation in periodontal disease may be linked coronary heart disease, and since periodontitis
is ery common, this could hae great conse-uences for public health ;erological studies measuring
antibody leels against typical periodontitiscausing bacteria found that such antibodies were more
present in subCects with coronary heart disease eriodontitis tends to increase blood leels of +6,
fibrinogen and cytokines@ thus, periodontitis may mediate its effect on MI risk ia other risk factors.
reclinical research suggests that periodontal bacteria can promote aggregation of platelets and
promote the formation of foam cells. A role for specific periodontal bacteria has been suggested butremains to be established.
Daldness, hair greying, a diagonal crease and possibly other skin features are independent risk
factors for MI. Their role remains controersial@ a common denominator of these signs and the risk of
MI are supposed, possibly genetic.

D. Pat"op"ysiology
A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic pla-ue slowly builds up in the inner
lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, totally occluding the artery and preenting
blood flow downstream.
Acute myocardial infarction is a type of acute coronary syndrome, which is most fre-uently (but
not always) a manifestation of coronary artery disease. The most common triggering eent is the
disruption of an atherosclerotic pla-ue in an epicardial coronary artery, which leads to a clotting
cascade, sometimes resulting in total occlusion of the artery. Atherosclerosis is the gradual buildup of
cholesterol and fibrous tissue in pla-ues in the wall of arteries (in this case, the coronary arteries),
typically oer decades. Dlood stream column irregularities isible on angiographies reflect artery lumen
narrowing as a result of decades of adancing atherosclerosis. la-ues can become unstable, rupture,and additionally promote a thrombus (blood clot) that occludes the artery@ this can occur in minutes.
hen a seere enough pla-ue rupture occurs in the coronary asculature, it leads to myocardial
infarction (necrosis of downstream myocardium).
If impaired blood flow to the heart lasts long enough, it triggers a process called the ischemic
cascade@ the heart cells die (chiefly through necrosis) and do not grow back. A collagen scar forms in its
place. 6ecent studies indicate that another form a cell death called apoptosis also plays a role in the
process of tissue damage subse-uent to myocardial infarction. As a result, the patientBs heart can be

permanently damaged. This scar tissue also puts the patient at risk for potentially life threatening
arrhythmias.
InCured heart tissue conducts electrical impulses more slowly than normal heart tissue. The
difference in conduction elocity between inCured and uninCured tissue can trigger reentry or a
feedback loop that is belieed to be the cause of many lethal arrhythmias. The most serious of these
arrhythmias is entricular fibrillation (E7ib!E7), an extremely fast and chaotic heart rhythm that is the
leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Another life threatening arrhythmia is entricular tachycardia
(ETach!ET), which may or may not cause sudden cardiac death. *oweer, entricular tachycardia
usually results in rapid heart rates that preent the heart from pumping blood effectiely. +ardiac
output and blood pressure may fall to dangerous leels, which is particularly bad for the patient
experiencing acute myocardial infarction.
The cardiac defibrillator is a deice that was specifically designed to terminate these potentially
fatal arrhythmias. The deice works by deliering an electrical shock to the patient in order to
depolariFe a critical mass of the heart muscle, in effect rebooting the heart. This therapy is time
dependent, and the odds of successful defibrillation decline rapidly after the onset of cardiopulmonary
arrest.
E. T!igge!s
*eart attack rates are higher in association with intense exertion, be it psychological stress or
physical exertion, especially if the exertion is more intense than the indiidual usually performs
Guantitatiely, the period of intense exercise and subse-uent recoery is associated with about a 9fold
higher myocardial infarction rate (compared with other more relaxed time frames) for people who are
physically ery fit 7or those in poor physical condition, the rate differential is oer ?%fold higher. 8ne
obsered mechanism for this phenomenon is the increased arterial pulse pressure stretching andrelaxation of arteries with each heart beat which, as has been obsered with intraascular ultrasound,
increases mechanical shear stress on atheromas and the likelihood of pla-ue rupture.
Acute seere infection, such as pneumonia, can trigger myocardial infarction. A more
controersial link is that between +hlamydophila pneumoniae infection and atherosclerosis. hile this
intracellular organism has been demonstrated in atherosclerotic pla-ues, eidence is inconclusie as to
whether it can be considered a causatie factor. Treatment with antibiotics in patients with proen

#. Classifiation
+lassification of acute coronary syndromes
Acute myocardial infarction is a type of acute coronary syndrome, which is most fre-uently (but
not always) a manifestation of coronary artery disease. The acute coronary syndromes include ;T
segment eleation myocardial infarction (;T/MI), non;T segment eleation myocardial infarction
(;T/MI), and unstable angina (

heart muscle is more ulnerable to oxygen shortage, because the coronary arteries run inward from the
epicardium to the endocardium, and because the blood flow through the heart muscle is hindered by the
heart contraction.
The phrases transmural and subendocardial infarction used to be considered synonymous with
Gwae and nonGwae myocardial infarction respectiely, based on the presence or absence of G
waes on the /+0. It has since been shown that there is no clear correlation between the presence of G
waes with a transmural infarction and the absence of G waes with a subendocardial infarction, but G
waes are associated with larger infarctions, while the lack of G waes is associated with smaller
infarctions. The presence or absence of Gwaes also has clinical importance, with improed outcomes
associated with a lack of G waes.
$. Symptoms
6ough diagram of pain Fones in myocardial infarction (dark red 5 most typical area, light red 5
other possible areas, iew of the chest).
The onset of symptoms in myocardial infarction (MI) is usually gradual, oer seeral minutes,
and rarely instantaneous. +hest pain is the most common symptom of acute myocardial infarction and
is often described as a sensation of tightness, pressure, or s-ueeFing. +hest pain due to ischemia (a lack
of blood and hence oxygen supply) of the heart muscle is termed angina pectoris. ain radiates most
often to the left arm, but may also radiate to the lower Caw, neck , right arm, back , and epigastrium,
where it may mimic heartburn. Any group of symptoms compatible with a sudden interruption of the
blood flow to the heart is called an acute coronary syndrome. 8ther conditions such as aortic dissection
or pulmonary embolism may present with chest pain and must be considered in the differential
diagnosis.

;hortness of breath (dyspnea) occurs when the damage to the heart limits the output of the left
entricle, causing left entricular failure and conse-uent pulmonary edema. 8ther symptoms include
diaphoresis (an excessie form of sweating), weakness, lightheadedness, nausea, omiting, and
palpitations. &oss of consciousness and een sudden death can occur in myocardial infarctions.
omen often experience markedly different symptoms than men. The most common symptoms
of MI in women include dyspnea, weakness, and fatigue. 7atigue, sleep disturbances, and dyspnea hae
been reported as fre-uently occurring symptoms which may manifest as long as one month before the
actual clinically manifested ischemic eent. In women, chest pain may be less predictie of coronary
ischemia than in men.
Approximately half of all MI patients hae experienced warning symptoms such as chest pain prior to the infarction.
Approximately one third of all myocardial infarctions are silent, without chest pain or other
symptoms. These cases can be discoered later on electrocardiograms or at autopsy without a prior
history of related complaints. A silent course is more common in the elderly, in patients with diabetes
mellitus and after heart transplantation, probably because the donor heart is not connected to neres of
the host. In diabetics, differences in pain threshold, autonomic neuropathy, and psychological factors
hae been cited as possible explanations for the lack of symptoms.
H. Diagnosis
The diagnosis of myocardial infarction is made by integrating the history of the presenting
illness and physical examination with electrocardiogram findings and cardiac markers ( blood tests for
heart muscle cell damage). A coronary angiogram allows isualiFing narrowings or obstructions on the
heart essels, and therapeutic measures can follow immediately. At autopsy, a pathologist can diagnose
a myocardial infarction based on anatomopathological findings.
A chest radiograph and routine blood tests may indicate complications or precipitating causes
and are often performed on admittance to an emergency department. ew regional wall motion
abnormalities on an echocardiogram are also suggestie of a myocardial infarction and are sometimes
performed in e-uiocal cases. Technetium and thallium can be used in nuclear medicine to isualiFe
areas of reduced blood flow and tissue iability, respectiely. Technetium is used in a M

*8 criteria hae classically been used to diagnose MI@ a patient is diagnosed with myocardial
infarction if two (probable) or three (definite) of the following criteria are satisfied>
4. +linical history of ischemic type chest pain lasting for more than 3$ minutes
3. +hanges in serial /+0 tracings
?. 6ise and fall of serum cardiac enFymes (biomarkers) such as creatine kinase, troponin I, and
lactate dehydrogenase isoFymes specific for the heart.
The *8 criteria were refined in 3$$$ to gie more prominence to cardiac biomarkers.
According to the new guidelines, a cardiac troponin rise accompanied by either typical symptoms,
pathological G waes, ;T eleation or depression or coronary interention are diagnostic of MI.
a. P"ysial e%amination>
The general appearance of patients may ary according to the experienced symptoms@ the
patient may be comfortable, or restless and in seere distress with an increased respiratory rate. A cool
and pale skin is common and points to asoconstriction. ;ome patients hae lowgrade feer (?H?J
K+). Dlood pressure may be eleated or decreased, and the pulse can be become irregular .
If heart failure ensues, eleated Cugular enous pressure and hepatoCugular reflux, or swelling of
the legs due to peripheral edema may be found on inspection. 6arely, a cardiac bulge with a pace
different from the pulse rhythm can be felt on pericardial examination. Earious abnormalities can be
found on auscultation, such as a third and fourth heart sound, systolic murmurs, paradoxical splitting of
the second heart sound, a pericardial friction rub and rales oer the lung.

and aE&.
&. Elet!oa!diog!am'
The primary purpose of the electrocardiogram is to detect ischemia or acute coronary inCury in
broad, symptomatic emergency department populations. *oweer, the standard 43 lead /+0 has
seeral limitations. An /+0 represents a brief sample in time. Decause unstable ischemic syndromes
hae rapidly changing supply ersus demand characteristics, a single /+0 may not accurately
represent the entire picture. It is therefore desirable to obtain serial 43 lead /+0s, particularly if the
first /+0 is obtained during a painfree episode. Alternatiely, many emergency departments and chest
pain centers use computers capable of continuous ;T segment monitoring. It should also be appreciated
that the standard 43 lead /+0 does not directly examine the right entricle, and does a relatiely poor
Cob of examining the posterior basal and lateral walls of the left entricle. In particular, acute
myocardial infarction in the distribution of the circumflex artery is likely to produce a non diagnostic
/+0. The use of nonstandard /+0 leads like rightsided lead E#6 and posterior leads E=, EH, and
EJ may improe sensitiity for right entricular and posterior myocardial infarction. In spite of these
limitations, the 43 lead /+0 stands at the center of risk stratification for the patient with suspected
acute myocardial infarction. Mistakes in interpretation are relatiely common, and the failure to
identify high risk features has a negatie effect on the -uality of patient care. The 43 lead /+0 is used
to classify patients into one of three groups>

of acute myocardial infarction is the hyper acute T wae, which is treated the same as ;T segment
eleation. In practice this is rarely seen, because it only exists for 3?$ minutes after the onset of
infarction. *yper acute T waes need to be distinguished from the peaked T waes associated with
hyperkalemia. The current guidelines for the /+0 diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction re-uire at
least 4 mm ($.4 mE) of ;T segment eleation in 3 or more anatomically contiguous leads. This
criterion is problematic, howeer, as acute myocardial infarction is not the most common cause of ;T
segment eleation in chest pain patients. In addition, oer J$: of healthy men hae at least 4 mm ($.4
mE) of ;T segment eleation in at least one precordial lead. The clinician must therefore be well
ersed in recogniFing the socalled /+0 mimics of acute myocardial infarction, which include left
entricular hypertrophy, left bundle branch block , paced rhythm, benign early repolariFation,
ericarditis, hyperkalemia, and entricular aneurysm.

I. T!eatment
A heart attack is a medical emergency which demands both immediate attention and actiation of
the emergency medical serices. The ultimate goal of the management in the acute phase of the disease
is to salage as much myocardium as possible and preent further complications. As time passes, the risk
of damage to the heart muscle increases@ hence the phrase that in myocardial infarction, time is muscle,
and time wasted is muscle lost.
The treatments itself may hae complications. If attempts to restore the blood flow are initiated
after a critical period of only a few hours, the result is reperfusion inCury instead of amelioration. 8ther
treatment modalities may also cause complications@ the use of antithrombotics for example carries an
increased risk of bleeding.
a. #i!st line
8xygen, aspirin, glyceryl trinitrate (nitroglycerin) and analgesia (usually morphine, hence the
popular mnemonic M8A, morphine, oxygen, nitro, aspirin) are administered as soon as possible. In
many areas, first responders can be trained to administer these prior to arrial at the hospital.
8f the first line agents, only aspirin has been proen to decrease mortality.
8nce the diagnosis of myocardial infarction is confirmed, other pharmacologic agents are often
gien. These include beta blockers, anticoagulation (typically with heparin), and possibly additional
antiplatelet agents such as clopidogrel. These agents are typically not started until the patient is ealuated
by an emergency room physician or under the direction of a cardiologist. These agents can be used
regardless of the reperfusion strategy that is to be employed. hile these agents can decrease mortality
in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction, they can lead to complications and potentially death if
used in the wrong setting.

The concept of reperfusion has become so central to the modern treatment of acute myocardial
infarction, that we are said to be in the reperfusion era. atients who present with suspected acute
myocardial infarction and ;T segment eleation (;T/MI) or new bundle branch block on the 43 lead

Although no perfect Thrombolytic agent exists, an ideal Thrombolytic drug would lead to rapid
reperfusion, hae a high sustained patency rate, be specific for recent thrombi, be easily and rapidly
administered, create a low risk for intracerebral and systemic bleeding, hae no antigenicity, aderse
hemodynamic effects, or clinically significant drug interactions, and be cost effectie. +urrently
aailable Thrombolytic agents include streptokinase, urokinase, and alteplase (recombinant tissue
plasminogen actiator , rtA). More recently, Thrombolytic agents similar in structure to rtA such as
reteplase and tenecteplase hae been used. These newer agents boast efficacy at least as good as rtA
with significantly easier administration. The Thrombolytic agent used in a particular indiidual is based
on institution preference and the age of the patient.
'epending on the Thrombolytic agent being used, adCuant anticoagulation with heparin or low
molecular weight heparin may be of benefit. ith tA and related agents (reteplase and tenecteplase),
heparin is needed to maintain coronary artery patency. Decause of the anticoagulant effect of fibrinogen
depletion with streptokinase and urokinase treatment, it is less necessary there.
Intracranial bleeding (I+D) and subse-uent cerebroascular accident (+EA) is a serious side effect
of Thrombolytic use. The risk of I+D is dependent on a number of factors, including a preious episode
of intracranial bleed, age of the indiidual, and the Thrombolytic regimen that is being used. In general,
the risk of I+D due to Thrombolytic use for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction is between
$.% and 4 percent.
Thrombolytic therapy to abort a myocardial infarction is not always effectie. The degree of
effectieness of a Thrombolytic agent is dependent on the time since the myocardial infarction began,
with the best results occurring if the Thrombolytic agent is used within an hour of the onset of
symptoms.N If the indiidual presents more than 43 hours after symptoms commenced, the risk of
intracranial bleed are considered higher than the benefits of the Thrombolytic agent. 7ailure rates of
Thrombolytic can be as high as 3$: or higher. In cases of failure of the Thrombolytic agent to open the
infarctrelated coronary artery, the patient is then either treated conseratiely with anticoagulants or
allowed to complete the infarction or percutaneous coronary interention (+I, see below) is then
performed. ercutaneous coronary interention in this setting is known as rescue +I or salage +I.
+omplications, particularly bleeding, are significantly higher with rescue +I than with primary +I due
to the action of the Thrombolytic agent.

Additional obCecties are to preent lifethreatening arrhythmias or conduction disturbances. This
re-uires monitoring in a coronary care unit and protocolised administration of antiarrhythmic agents.
Antiarrhythmic agents are typically only gien to indiiduals with lifethreatening arrhythmias after a
myocardial infarction and not to suppress the entricular ectopy that is often seen after a myocardialinfarction.
i. Re"a&ilitation
+ardiac rehabilitation aims to optimiFe function and -uality of life in those afflicted with a heart
disease. This can be with the help of a physician, or in the form of a cardiac rehabilitation program.
hysical exercise is an important part of rehabilitation after a myocardial infarction, with beneficial
effects on cholesterol leels, blood pressure, weight, stress and mood. ;ome patients become afraid of
exercising because it might trigger another infarct. atients are stimulated to exercise, and should only
aoid certain exerting actiities such as shoeling. &ocal authorities may place limitations on driing
motoriFed ehicles. ;ome people are afraid to hae sex after a heart attack. Most people can resume
sexual actiities after ? to # weeks. The amount of actiity needs to be dosed to the patients possibilities.

The risk of a recurrent myocardial infarction decreases with strict blood pressure management and
lifestyle changes, chiefly smoking cessation, regular exercise, a sensible diet for patients with heart
disease, and limitation of alcohol intake.
atients are usually commenced on seeral longterm medications postMI, with the aim of
preenting secondary cardioascular eents such as further myocardial infarctions, congestie heart

• Antiplatelet drug therapy such as aspirin and!or clopidogrel should be continued to reduce the risk
of pla-ue rupture and recurrent myocardial infarction. Aspirin is firstline, owing to its low cost
and comparable efficacy, with clopidogrel resered for patients intolerant of aspirin. The
combination of clopidogrel and aspirin may further reduce risk of cardioascular eents@ howeer
the risk of hemorrhage is increased.
• Deta blocker therapy such as metoprolol or caredilol should be commenced. These hae been
particularly beneficial in highrisk patients such as those with left entricular dysfunction and!or
continuing cardiac ischemia. PDlockers decrease mortality and morbidity. They also improe
symptoms of cardiac ischemia in ;T/MI.
• A+/ inhibitor therapy should be commenced 3##H hours postMI in hemodynamicallystable
patients, particularly in patients with a history of MI, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anterior
location of infarct (as assessed by /+0), and!or eidence of left entricular dysfunction. A+/
inhibitors reduce mortality, the deelopment of heart failure, and decrease entricular remodelling
postMI.
• ;tatin therapy has been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity postMI. The effects of statins
may be more than their &'& lowering effects. The general consensus is that statins hae pla-ue

There are currently ? biomaterial and tissue engineering approaches for the treatment of MI, but
these are in an een earlier stage of medical research, so many -uestions and issues need to be addressed
before they can be applied to patients. The first inoles polymeric left entricular restraints in the

implanted in io. The final approach entails inCecting cells and!or a scaffold into the myocardium to
create in situ engineered cardiac tissue.
/. Compliations
+omplications may occur immediately following the heart attack (in the acute phase), or may
need time to deelop (a chronic problem). After an infarction, an obious complication is a second
infarction, which may occur in the domain of another atherosclerotic coronary artery or in the same
Fone if there are any lie cells left in the infarct.
a. Congesti,e "ea!t fail)!e>
A myocardial infarction may compromise the function of the heart as a pump for the circulation, a
state called heart failure. There are different types of heart failure@ left or rightsided (or bilateral)
heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a lowoutput type of
failure. If one of the heart ales is affected, this may cause dysfunction, such as mitral regurgitation
in the case of leftsided MI. The incidence of heart failure is particularly high in patients with
diabetes and re-uires special management strategies.
&. (yoa!dial !)pt)!e>
Myocardial rupture is most common three to fie days after myocardial infarction, commonly of
small degree, but may occur one day to three weeks later, in as many as 4$: of all MIs. This may
occur in the free walls of the entricles, the septum between them, the papillary muscles, or less
commonly the atria. 6upture occurs because of increased pressure against the weakened walls of the
heart chambers due to heart muscle that cannot pump blood out effectiely. The weakness may also
lead to entricular aneurysm, a localiFed dilation or ballooning of the heart chamber.

6isk factors for myocardial rupture include completion of infarction (no reasculariFation
performed), female sex, adanced age, and a lack of a preious history of myocardial infarction. The
shear stress between the infarcted segment and the surrounding normal myocardium (which may be
hypercontractile in the postinfarction period) makes it a nidus for rupture.
6upture is usually a catastrophic eent that may result a lifethreatening process known as cardiac
tamponade, in which blood accumulates within the pericardium or heart sac, and compresses the
heart to the point where it cannot pump effectiely. 6upture of the intraentricular septum (the
muscle separating the left and right entricles) causes a entricular septal defect with shunting of
blood through the defect from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart. 6upture of the
papillary muscle may also lead to acute mitral regurgitation and subse-uent pulmonary edema and
possibly een +ardiogenic shock .

A 43 lead electrocardiogram showing entricular tachycardia.
;ince the electrical characteristics of the infarcted tissue change (see athophysiology section),
arrhythmias are a fre-uent complication. The reentry phenomenon may cause too fast heart rates
(entricular tachycardia and een entricular fibrillation), and ischemia in the electrical conduction
system of the heart may cause a complete heart block (when the impulse from the sinoatrial node, the
normal cardiac pacemaker, doesnBt reach the heart chambers any more).

As a reaction to the damage of the heart muscle, inflammatory cells are attracted. The inflammation
may reach out and affect the heart sac. This is called ericarditis. In 'resslerBs syndrome, this occurs
seeral weeks after the initial eent.

A complication that may occur in the acute setting soon after a myocardial infarction or in the weeks
following it is cardiogenic shock . +ardiogenic shock is defined as a hemodynamic state in which the
heart cannot produce enough of a cardiac output to supply an ade-uate amount of oxygenated blood to
the tissues of the body.
hile the data on performing interentions on indiiduals with +ardiogenic shock is sparse, trial data
suggests a longterm mortality benefit in undergoing reasculariFation if the indiidual is less than =%
years old and if the onset of the acute myocardial infarction is less than ?9 hours and the onset of
+ardiogenic shock is less than 4H hours. If the patient with cardiogenic shock is not going to be
reasculariFed, aggressie hemodynamic support is warranted, with insertion of an intraaortic balloon
pump if not contraindicated. If diagnostic coronary angiography does not reeal a culprit blockage that
is the cause of the cardiogenic shock, the prognosis is poor.

The prognosis for patients with myocardial infarction aries greatly, depending on the patient, the
