Understanding Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI / NSTEMI)
Acute Myocardial Infarction, commonly called a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. STEMI and NSTEMI are major types of heart attacks differentiated by ECG findings and severity of artery blockage.
Introduction
Acute Myocardial Infarction, commonly called a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. STEMI and NSTEMI are major types of heart attacks differentiated by ECG findings and severity of artery blockage.
Common Symptoms
- Severe chest pain or heaviness
- Pain spreading to left arm, jaw, or back
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating, nausea, and vomiting
- Sudden weakness or dizziness
Treatment Options
- Emergency ECG and cardiac enzyme testing
- Clot-dissolving medications when indicated
- Emergency angioplasty and stenting
- Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy
- Intensive cardiac monitoring and rehabilitation
Recovery & Outlook
Rapid treatment significantly improves survival. Long-term medications, lifestyle changes, and cardiac rehabilitation reduce recurrence risk.
