PRINZMETAL’S VARIANT ANGINA Treatment

PRINZMETAL’S VARIANT ANGINA This is a syndrome of ischemic pain at rest and with ECG showing transient ST elevation. This sydrome is caused by spasm of coronary artery leading to severe ischemia. It may occur in patients who may not have any coronary artery stenosis. It is a kind of vasospastic disease like Raynaud’s phe­60menon. [...]

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND PHYSICAL FINDINGS

CLINICAL PRESENTATION Acute Myocardial Infarction is precipitated by exer­tion, exercise, emotional stress, medical and surgical disease and interventions. Circadian variation – AMI is more common in early morning hours due to increase in sympathetic tone and increased thrombolytic tendency from 4 to 12 AM. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the rapid development of myocardial necrosis [...]

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Causes PATHOPHYSIOLOGY and Etiology

Acute Myocardial Infarction AMI Causes PATHOPHYSIOLOGY  Atherosclerosis and Etiology Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may present as unstable angina (no ST segment elevation), or acute myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) implies irreversible damage to the myocardium. MI Causes usually occurs when an atheromatous plaque in a coronary artery ruptures, and the resulting clot obstructs the [...]
