Definition
• Otherwise know as heart attack• An MI occurs when there is a diminished
blood supply to the heart which leads to myocardial cell damage and ischemia.
• Contractile function stops in the necrotic areas of the heart.
• Ischemia usually occurs due to blockage of the coronary vessels.
![Page 3: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definition cont.• This blockage is often the result of
thrombus that is superimposed on an ulcerated or unstable atherosclerotic plaque formation in the coronary artery.
• MI’s are described by the area of occurrence.
• Anterior, Inferior, Lateral or Posterior.

Coronary Artery Anatomy
![Page 5: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Coronary artery events
• Ischemia – Outer most area, source of arrhythmias, viable if no further infarction.
• Injury – Viable tissue found between ischemic and infarcted areas.
• Infarction/necrosis – Center area, dead not viable tissue that turn into scar.

MI Classifications
• MI’s can be subcategorized by anatomy and clinical diagnostic information.
Anatomic• Transmural and Subendocardial
Diagnostic• ST elevations (STEMI) and non ST
elevations (NSTEMI).
![Page 9: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Epidemiology
• MI’s are the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting one in five men and one in six women.
• 450,000 people in the US die from coronary disease each year.
• Incidence rates increase with age as do mortality rates due to infarction.
![Page 10: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Epidemiology
• The survival rate for those hospitalized due to MI has reached approximately 95%.
• This is the result of the advancements made in modern medical technology.
![Page 11: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Risk Factors
• The presence of any risk factor is associated with doubling the risk of an MI.
Non Modifiable • Age• Gender• Family history
![Page 12: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Risk Factors
Modifiable• Smoking• Diabetes Control• Hypertension• Hyperlipidemia• Obesity• Physical Inactivity
![Page 13: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Smoking
• Tobacco use increases the risk of coronary artery disease two to six times more than non smokers.
• Nicotine increases platelet thrombus adhesion and vessel inflammation.
![Page 14: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Diabetes & Hypertension
• Diabetes not only increases the rate of atherosclerotic formation in vascular vessels but also at an earlier age.
• The constant stress of high blood pressure has been associated with the increased rate of plaque formation.
• Shearing Stress and inflammation of endothelial lining begins the process.
![Page 15: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hyperlipidemia
• Elevated levels of cholesterol, LDL’s or triglycerides are associated with the increased risk of coronary plaque formation and MI.
• Almost 50% of the population has some
form of dyslipidemia.
![Page 16: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Obesity and Physical Inactivity
• Mortality rate from CAD is higher in those who are obese.
• Some evidence shows that those who carry their weight in their abdomen have a higher incidence of CAD
• Physically inactive people have lower HDL levels with higher LDL levels and an increase in clot formation.
![Page 17: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pathophysiology• Ischemia develops when there is an
increased demand for oxygen or a decreased supply of oxygen.
• Ischemia can develop within 10 seconds and if it lasts longer than 20 minutes, irreversible cell and tissue death occurs.
• Myocardial cell death begins at the endocardium. The area most distal to the arterial blood supply.
![Page 18: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pathophysiology
• As vessel occlusion continues cell death spreads to the myocardium and eventually to the epicardium.
• Severity of the MI depends on three factors.– Level of occlusion– Length of time of occlusion– Presence or absence of collateral circulation
![Page 19: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Signs and Symptoms
• Signs and symptoms are unique to each individual patient.
• Ranging from no symptoms to sudden cardiac arrest.
![Page 20: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chest Pain• The most common initial manifestation is
chest pain or discomfort.• This is not relieved by rest, position
change or nitrate administration.• Pain is described by heaviness, pressure,
fullness and crushing sensation.• Not everyone experiences this sensation.
![Page 21: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chest Pain
• PQRST assessment for chest pain• P- Precipitating events• Q- Quality of pain • R- Radiation of pain• S- Severity of pain• T- Timing
![Page 22: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nausea and Vomiting
• Not everyone will experience this.• Vomiting results as a reflex from severe
pain.• Vasovagal reflexes initiated from area of
ischemia.
![Page 23: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sympathetic Nervous System Stimulation
• During an MI increased catecholamines are released.
• This results in diaphoresis and vasoconstriction of peripheral blood vessels.
• “Cool Sweat” with a temperature increase during the first 24 hours.
![Page 24: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cardiovascular Changes
• Initially the BP and pulse may be elevated.• Later, BP will drop due to decreased
cardiac output.• Urine output will decrease• Lung sounds will change to crackles• Jugular veins may become distended and
have obvious pulsations.
![Page 25: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Within the first 10 minutes upon arrival to the hospital:
• Check vital signs and evaluate oxygen saturation
• Establish IV access• Obtain and review 12-lead ECG• Take a brief focused history and perform a
physical exam• Obtain blood samples to evaluate initial cardiac
markers, electrolytes and coagulation
![Page 27: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Diagnostics
• After collecting patient health history, a series of EKG’s should be taken to rule out or confirm MI.
• 12 lead EKG’s can help to distinguish between ST-elevation MI’s and Non-ST-elevation MI’s.
![Page 28: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

AnginaStable
• Chest pain caused by the build up of lactic acid and irritation to the myocardial nerve fibers.
• Chest pain caused by the 4 E’s (Exertion, Emotion, Exposure To Cold, Eating )
• Pain is usually relieved with rest, pain meds and nitrates.
![Page 30: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Variable/Prinzmetal/Spasm • Transient ischemia that occurs
unpredictably and almost always at rest.• Pain is caused by vasospasm of the
arteries.• ST segment elevations will be noted.
![Page 31: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Unstable
• Chest pain at rest or with exercise and tends to last greater than 15 minutes.
• This results in reversible myocardial ischemia but is a sign that an infarct is soon to come.
• EKG will reveal ST segment depression and T wave inversion.
![Page 32: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
STEMI

![Page 33: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
NSTEMI
• ST segment depressions• T wave changes• No Q wave development• Mild enzyme elevations• No reciprocals
![Page 34: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
STEMI vs. NSTEMI
![Page 35: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Phases of a STEMI
• Hyperacute Phase– Occurs within the first few hours of MI onset.– Leads facing the infarcted surface: ST
segment elevation.– Leads facing the uninjured surface: ST
segment depression (reciprocals)– T waves become tall, widened and might be
taller than the R wave.
![Page 36: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Phases of a STEMI
• Fully Evolved Phase– Q wave development– ST elevation – T waves start to become inverted in leads
facing the injury.
![Page 37: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Phases of a STEMI
• Resolution phase– Weeks after there will be a gradual return of
ST segments to baseline. – T waves will gradually return to normal but are
the last to change back.
![Page 38: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Serum Cardiac Markers
• Myocardial cells produce certain proteins and enzymes associated with cellular functions.
• When cell death occurs, these cellular enzymes are released into the blood stream.
• CPK and troponin
![Page 39: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
CPK
• Creatine Phosphokinase• Begin to rise 3 to 12 hours after acute MI.• Peak in 24 hours• Return to normal in 2 to 3 days
![Page 40: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Troponin
• Myocardial muscle protein released into circulation after injury.
• These are highly specific indicators of MI.• Troponin rises quickly like CK but will
continue to stay elevated for 2 weeks.• Myoglobin-lacks cardiac specificity.
![Page 41: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Long Term Care
• Smoking Cessation and lifestyle modifications.
• Aspirin, Beta Blockers and Clopidogrel will be indefinite.
• Lipid lowering medication along with diet modifications.
![Page 51: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Nursing Management• Nursing interventions of a patient with angina focus on:
• Early identification of myocardial ischemia.• Assess immediately any complaints of chest pain using a
pain scale of 0 – 10, as pain (or pressure or heaviness) is an indicator of myocardial ischemia. Immediate assessment is important for early identification and treatment.
• Document vital signs, ECG, skin color, peripheral pulses, level of consciousness, and overall tissue perfusion.
• Control of chest pain.• Administer oxygen, nitrates, and analgesia as ordered.• Use pulse oximetry to guide therapy and maintain
oxygen saturation above 90%.
![Page 52: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Nursing interventions of a patient with angina focus on (Continued…): • Patient and family education
• Educate your patient when his/ her condition has stabilised (pain controlled).
• Teach the patient about the importance of avoiding the Valsalva maneuver (bearing down when going to bath room). This maneuver increases intrathoracic pressure that decreases venous return to the right side of the heart which is associated with hypotension and bradycardia.
• Teach the patient about risk factor modifications such as decreasing fat intake, stopping smoking, reducing salt intake, controlling hypertension, increasing physical activity as tolerated, and achieving normal body weight.
• Provide information about medications; indications and side effects.
• Teach the patient about the importance of follow up after discharge and how to handle emotional stress and anger.
![Page 53: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Nursing Management of MI
• Nursing interventions for a patient with acute MI focus on:– Achieving a balance between myocardial oxygen
supply and demand: This means that in the acute phase, there is a need to increase myocardial oxygen supply by oxygen administration to prevent tissue hypoxia. Myocardial oxygen supply can be enhanced by the administration of coronary artery vasodilators (nitroglycerin).
– Prevention of complications: Nurses need to apply cardiac monitoring of patient to detect early ventricular dysrhythmias. In addition, nurses should continue to assess for signs of ischemic pain.
![Page 54: Atlas myocardialinfarction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab82431a28ab3e738b5505/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Nursing Management of MI (Continued…)– Health education: Nurses should focus on:
• Pathophysiology of acute MI.• Description of signs and symptoms such as pain.
pressure, or heaviness in chest.• Notification of nurses of any changes in chest pain
intensity.• Avoidance of the Valsalva maneuver.• Risk factors modification, including:
– Daily fat intake < 30% of total calories.– Maintain serum cholesterol level < 200 mg/dL.– Maintain LDL cholesterol to < 70 mg/dL.– Stop smoking and reduce daily salt intake.– Control hypertension and diabetes mellitus.– Increase physical activity and reduce weight
–
