DEFINITION 





Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as death or necrosis of myocardial cells. It is a diagnosis at the end of the spectrum of myocardial ischemia or acute coronary syndromes. From an anatomic or morphologic standpoint, the two types of MI are  

transmural : STEMI nontransmural:NSTEMI

ACS Types

Pathophysiology Mechanisms of Occlusion:  Most MIs are caused by a disruption in the vascular endothelium associated with an unstable atherosclerotic plaque that stimulates the formation of an intracoronary thrombus, which results in coronary artery blood flow occlusion. If such an occlusion persists long enough (20 to 40 min), irreversible myocardial cell damage and cell death will occur.

Vulnerable Plaque

Pathogenesis OF AMI

Clinical Manifestation 



Premonitory Pain: a recent onset of angina, a worsening angina, or a worsening angina pectoris poorly responsive well to a nitrate. Pain Of Infarction:more severe, long lasting, and relieved little by rest or nitroglycerin.

Clinical Manifestation 





Associated Symptom: Nausea and vomiting ,abdominal bloating,cold sweat,SOB Painless infarction: 20% silent or atypical Sudden death & early arrhythmias:ventricular fibrillation

Clinical Manifestation 





Arrhythmias : 75~95% of patients develop cardiac arrhythmias . Any type of arrhythmias may be found Cardiac failure :Heart failure occurs in about 32-48% of hospitalized patients with acute MI Cardiogenic shock :A loss of myocardium greater than 40% generally leads to cardiogenic shock

Clinical Manifestation 

Signs:HR is usually increased (but inferior MI commonly leads to bradycardia). S1 is low, S4 (atrial gallop) is noted and an S3 (Ventricular gallop) is present when develop LV failure

Laboratory findings

ECG for AMI • • • • •

Q wave duration of more than 0.04 seconds Q wave depth of more than 25% of ensuing r wave ST elevation in leads facing infarct (or depression in opposite leads) Deep T wave inversion overlying and adjacent to infarct Cardiac arrhythmias

Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis

Complications 

   



Dysfunction or rupture of papillary muscle Rupture of the heart Embolism Ventricular aneurysm Postmyocardial infarction syndrome Shoulder-hand syndrome

Treatment 

  

Monitoring: coronary care unit (CCU) Rest and bedside care Oxygen Relief of pain :give morphine sulfate, 3~5mg IV slowly. nitroglycerin can be given sublingually

Drugs    

Nitroglycerin Beta block Calcium channel blockers Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) :ventricular

remodeling 

Anti-platelet agents Aspirin 300mg qd Clopidogrel 75mg qd

Drugs Anti-coagulation agents LMWH (Low-molecular-weight Heparins ) Enoxaparin 1 mg/kg SC q12h Fraxiparine 5000u SC q12h Lipid-lowering drugs:Statin agents Atorvastatin 20mg qn 

Thrombolytic therapy 





Thrombolytic therapy is indicated for MI and ST segment elevation greater than 0.1 mV in 2 contiguous EKG leads, or new onset of a bundle branch block, who present less than 12 hours but not more than 24 hours after symptom onset. Intravenous streptokinase and recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) the "door-to-needle" time is 30 minutes or less

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI) 

 

Emergency PCI is recommended for patients present within 6h of onset of pain "door-to-balloon" time: 90 minutes PCI provides a definite survival advantage over fibrinolysis for MI patients who are in cardiogenic shock

PCI-6

TIMI grading system: 





Grade 0 = complete occlusion of the infarct-related artery. Grade 1 = some penetration of the contrast material beyond the point of obstruction but without perfusion of the distal coronary bed. Grade 2 = perfusion of the entire infarct vessel into the distal bed but with delayed flow compared with a normal artery.
