“Heart Attack.” National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/heart-attack.
This source gave a tremendous amount of help to me personally because it gave me access to a
better understanding on what I will need to know for my final presentation when I have to
describe Myocardial Infarctions.

emedicine.medscape.com/article/155919-treatment.
The first and primary approach for Myocardial Infarction is to diagnose the problem in a
fast manner.
Restoration of perfusion should be the first therapy for Myocardial Infarctions.
The goal is to restore as much hindered myocardium as possible.
Medical or mechanical means takes a huge impact in treatment.
Treatment can be percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass
graft (CABG) surgery.
Acute coronary syndrome is similar, but you have to know the two different types of
Myocardial Infarction to know what is the right treatment.
The two different types are ST-elevation MI (STEMI) or a non–STEMI (NSTEMI).
Differences can include urgent therapy.
Can also include a number of proof regarding different types of pharmacologic items.
Every 1 in 300 chest pain patients coming to the hospital in an emergency private
vehicle goes into cardiac arrest in route.
This is very convenient because that means we have developed new ways to keep
patients safe and saved in enough time to treat them.
In the United States, statistics show that STEMI (ST-elevation MI) patients typically don’t
call 911, 40% of patients with coronary problems use a EMS.
Morality is avoided if patient catches Myocardial Infarction and treats it early.
Myocardial infarction is an ‘irreversible death’ (necrosis)
Heart muscle is secondary to lack of oxygen supply (ischemia).
1.5 million cases of MI occur in the United States.
This website helped me understand my second research topic and will help me a lot with my
final presentation when I have to cover medical treatment and management, it was very
interesting to see how much the heart is impacted by this disease.

This article was very eye-opening and gave me a better understanding of the pathophysiology
of Myocardial Infarctions and made me develop better background information for my final
presentation and product.
