This could be a heart attack and you need to see a cardiologist immediately for emergent intervention. Myocardial infarction pain is characteristically crushing retrosternal chest pain which may move to arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area or back. This can be squeezing, lasting for 20 minutes. Rest and nitroglycerin may help relieve the pain to some extent. Other symptoms are anxiety, cough, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath etc.
The pain was unbearable and she was the very first to take nitroglycerin, and then nifedipin. .Nitroglycerin helped her sometimes , and only for weak attacks , sometimes with the help of nifedipine average , but did not act with strong attacks. In autumn 2010, she was discharged from the metoprolol tachycardia episodes of pain in the left lower jaw became less frequent .
It can also be used as a marker of myocardial infarction. Following a myocardial infarction, levels of LDH peak at 3-4 days and remain elevated for up to 10 days. In this way, elevated levels of LDH (where the level of LDH2 is higher than that of LDH1) can be useful for determining if a patient has had a myocardial infarction if they come to doctors several days after an episode of chest pain.
Check it with your Cartdiologist for the reason of increase in LDH.
A patient with coronary artery disease suddenly engaging in the physical exercise associated with sexual intercourse, has an increased risk of myocardial infarction or death. Sexual intercourse is estimated to increase the risk of myocardial infarction by a factor of 2, which is still only a very small risk.
The cardiac troponins T and I which are released within 4–6 hours of an attack of MI and remain elevated for up to 2 weeks, have nearly complete tissue specificity and are now the preferred markers for asssessing myocardial damage. Heart-type fatty acid binding protein is another marker, used in some home test kits. Elevated troponins in the setting of chest pain may accurately predict a high likelihood of a myocardial infarction in the near future.
Thus, CK-MB is a very good marker for acute myocardial injury, because of its excellent specificity, and it rises in serum within 2 to 8 hours of onset of acute myocardial infarction. Serial measurements every 2 to 4 hours for a period of 9 to 12 hours after the patient is first seen will provide a pattern to determine whether the CK-MB is rising, indicative of myocardial injury.
Thank you for this response. I am not interested for myself, it's that my mum died very suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago and the autopsy said it was a bowel infarction. Given that we all thought she was well and didn't have any health issues, I wondered if her habit of taking aspirin each day had anything to do with what happened. Regards.
Was the CT scan able to rule out the myocardial bridging is not associated with myocardial infarction (heart attack) it is factor on rare occasions. The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear; vessel occlusion in this setting may be due to superimposed thrombosis (clots) or vasospasm. Endothelial (lining of vessel) injury as a result of myocardial bridging may predispose to thrombus formation.
After three weeks of testing (lung vq scan, GERD, and anxiety), a heart cath was done. Cardiologist said I had myocardial bridge (left artery), hypertension, and thick wall. I was put on beta blockers and have nitro for when the severe pain comes back. This happened 5 days ago.
I'm still having sharp chest pains. I can't walk at a normal pace or stand for long periods of time without my left arm tingling.
I did an ECG and the conclusion writen is ANTEROSEPTAL INFARCTION, what does this mean ..how did I get there and whats the solution out of it. I live in Nigeria and I really need help on the way to go about this.
PR INTERVAL SHORT and HIGH LATERAL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. What does all this mean? I'm I in trouble?
If you have infarct, it means there is poor blood flow to heart during both rest and stress, probably due to old myocardial infarction (heart attack) resulting in scarred/damaged tissue. Your rep0rt says you have this.
What is the difference between Ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction? I have PR 232 ms. What does it signify?
Well, it would be unlikely given your age and what sounds to be good health that you are having symptoms of a Myocardial infarction but we can't say that for sure. So, you probably need to go ahead and get checked out. Are you under a lot of stress right now?
Abnormal sinus rhythm can be a be heart rate over 100 at the time of the test and not considered a problem without further clinical evidence..
Poor r wave progression-probable normal variant lateral st-t changes suggest myocardial injury/ischemia. This particular pattern is usually reported out as "cannot rule out anterior myocardial infarction." The placement of the leads (electrodes) is critical in obtaining a reliable ECG pattern.
