The risk should be reduced by early mobilisation and leg exercises. The risk is higher in heart failure, with extensive infarction, or in patients with varicose veins. When it occurs in thigh or pelvic veins pulmonary embolism may occur. It is deflated during systole, reducing systolic pressure and hence reducing the work of the heart.Ĭlotting in a peripheral vein is common among patients. It is inflated during diastole, increasing arterial pressure and coronary perfusion. Occasionally counter pulsation is used when a long balloon is placed in the aorta. Forward flow can be improved by drugs which make the heart beat more strongly or drugs reducing peripheral resistance. Diuretics can reduce the breathlessness by lowering the filling pressure of the heart. This electric conversion should be followed by drugs. Paddles are placed in front and back of the chest and a current is passed through the chest usually about 300 joules. In case of lethal arrhythmia, constant monitoring of the heart rhythm allows instant recognition of ventricular fibrillation and its electric conversion using direct current shock. 2.Treatment of failure of function of pump of the heart.1.Treatment of arrhythmic complication.Treatment should be conducted in coronary care unit. Myocardial infarction treatment in hospital phase (4 hrs - 9 days): In these cases patient and family must understand what is happening. 8.if there is cardiac arrest then cardiac massage and artificial respiration.In this stage patient is in severe pain, he is at risk of sudden death. Myocardial infarction treatment of the early stage of attack (0- 4 hrs approx) : Preserve as much myocardium as possible by dissolution of Blood Clot or Thrombus, Blocking Lumen of Coronary Artery. Provide cardiac resuscitation and to keep the patient alive. Alcohol Studies show that prolonged exposure to high quantities of alcohol can increase the risk of heart attack Males are more at risk than females.Age: Men acquire an independent risk factor at age 45, Women acquire an independent risk factor at age 55.Family history of ischaemic heart disease (IHD).Diabetes (with or without insulin resistance) - the single most important risk factor for ischaemic heart disease (IHD).sudden chest pain (typically radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck).Increased afterload which increase the demand on the myocardium.Arteritis ,aneurysms of the coronary arteries.Coronary artery emboli, secondary to cholesterol, air, or the products of sepsis.Hypoxia due to carbon monoxide poisoning or acute pulmonary diseases.The most frequent cause of myocardial infarction (MI) is rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque within a coronary artery with subsequent arterial spasm and thrombus formation.
