Personally, I feel that the incidence of myocardial infarction has tended to decrease in recent years as we all pay more attention to it. However, why do we have the feeling that more and more people are dying of heart attack? There is only one reason, now the media is too developed, so that a little famous, even if not famous, but there is eye appeal value of the infarction deaths will be used to hype a bit.

The infarction of heart attack is not an infarction on the Internet, it essentially means that the arteries on the surface of the heart, on the basis of atherosclerosis, form a thrombus, which results in the myocardium supplied by this blood vessel not getting any blood supply, and the myocardial cells undergo ischemic death. Therefore, it is an infarction on the blood vessel and death on the cardiomyocytes.

Myocardial infarction is a disease with a wide range of severity. Some people have stomach pains for one or two days, and then after a routine screening due to a surgical procedure, they are found to have had a myocardial infarction, while some others just have a panic attack and no other symptoms, and then they have a myocardial infarction. However, what is even more horrifying is the severe myocardial infarction, which is often a blockage of a large blood vessel, and then, the blood from elsewhere can not come over to relieve the ischemic myocardium, resulting in a large myocardial infarction, causing heart failure, heart rupture and death. Or an inconspicuous blood and blocked, causing a small myocardial infarction with fatal tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, leading to the patient's sudden death.

The more young people myocardial infarction, the greater the likelihood of death, because of its rapid development of vascular lesions, there is no establishment of an emergency channel, an infarction will die. Therefore, when young people first experience chest pain symptoms, it is important to see a specialist, if the symptoms are caused by myocardial ischemia, intensive treatment is needed, and should not be paralyzed and cause a big trouble.

Thanks for the invite!

The perceived increase in deaths from myocardial infarction is due to the continued high incidence of cardiovascular disease, as well as to the increased level of awareness and diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and the advanced media, which has provided people with more information. In fact, the mortality rate of myocardial infarction has been greatly reduced compared with the years when there were no stents, no balloon dilatation, no thrombolysis, and no timely defibrillation by cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

To know why a heart attack kills, it is important to recognize what a myocardial infarction is.

Myocardial infarction is the sudden and complete interruption of blood supply to the myocardium and necrosis of myocardial cells due to ischemia and hypoxia.This ischemia-induced cell necrosis is called infarction. Generally, myocardial necrosis begins after more than 20 minutes of ischemia because the energy stored in the cells is depleted and myocardial metabolism stops. Therefore, myocardial infarction is a very critical cardiovascular emergency.

Why do people die when there is an infarction of the heart muscle?

This is because the heart is the general driving force behind the circulation of blood in the body. It is the heart's powerful, regular contraction and diastole that carries blood throughout the body, to the brain, and to the heart itself.

When the myocardium becomes ischemic and necrotic, it has no power to contract.. The heart muscle contracts weakly, weakens, or even stops, and the blood circulation weakens and stops. When circulation stops, life stops.

Death from myocardial infarction, especially sudden death in the early stages, is mostly not due to myocardial necrosis and contractile weakness, but rather to theMalignant arrhythmias following myocardial necrosis. Originally, cardiomyocytes have excitability, self-regulation and contractility, but once ischemia occurs, the ischemic cells go out of control. The pacemaker cells that should be in charge of things don't work, and the cardiomyocytes that should have followed the orders of their superiors act on their own, so there are all kinds of arrhythmias. Various premature beats, tachycardia, bradycardia, conduction block, atrial fibrillation coupled with rapid ventricular rate, and even ventricular tachycardia, that seriously affects the cardiac function, once triggered ventricular fibrillation, the heart can not be contracted in unison, the heart stopped. Therefore, the early death of myocardial infarction, sudden death, mostly due to malignant arrhythmia.

The necrotic part of the myocardium myocardium will dissolve, that is, rot away, and then grow a scar to repair it. However, in the process of rotting away and not yet repairing, once the heart's contraction force is greater, there is a possibility that the necrotic and rotting part of the myocardium may be squeezed through, which is theruptured heartThe patient's death is not a result of myocardial infarction, but of myolysis. Generally speaking, rhabdomyolysis is at its peak on the 3rd day of myocardial infarction, so some people will think that the patient is still okay after resuscitation, how did he suddenly die, in fact, it is dangerous for a week or even longer after myocardial infarction, and with the prolongation of the rescue time, the myocardium is gradually repaired in order to be better.

The necrotic part of myocardial infarction cannot contract and can still growinfarction, blood clots falling off and bolting to wherever is also dangerous.

Therefore, acute myocardial infarction occurs with various complications such as arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, myocardial perforation, and appendage thrombosis, any of which may be fatal when they occur. Therefore.Acute myocardial infarction must be rescued in a timely manner, and the sooner the blocked blood vessel is opened, the better the patient's outcome.

Seeing this Q&A reminded me of something that happened last Sunday.

At noon on Sunday, I was at the Birthday City Hotel for the wedding of a family nephew, and the music at the wedding was deafening and the smoke was thick. I went to the reception outside the hall to clear the air, just out of the hall, I saw a twenty or so young man reclining on the cold stone steps of the staircase, a hand over his chest, very painful look. I walked into the front, asked what happened, next to a woman (the guy's relatives) said, the hall sound shock, a little chest pain, nausea, rest for a while will be good. But after a while the young man's symptoms did not ease and seems to get worse, I said it may be a heart problem, they dialed 120 for him, the ambulance soon sent him into the hospital, the doctor diagnosed heart attack, due to the rescue in time, the young man was pulled back from the line of death, and now hospitalized in the treatment of observation.

Heart attack is not an ordinary disease, it comes quickly and dies quickly, even before it reaches the hospital. Don't think that only the elderly suffer from heart attack more, I found that young people in recent years have heart attack patients are also increasing. The other day, there is a 29-year-old, to the organization's leadership drive the driver young man, nine o'clock in the evening about a negligence feel heart suffocation, pain. He drove to the hospital to check, do chest X-ray, just go to go Lang, then collapsed, immediately the heart stopped beating, died in the corridor, lost his young life.

According to medical theory, heart attack refers to acute myocardial infarction. The cause is acute obstruction of the coronary arteries and necrosis of the myocardium due to ischemia, resulting in a life-threatening acute condition that impairs the function of the heart.

Heart attack is so powerful, remind us usually to take precautions. Daily life to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, quit smoking and limit alcohol, do not stay up late and overwork, so as to develop good habits, will prevent the emergence of ″three highs,″ and naturally will be the bottom of the risk of heart attack.

For patients who have already suffered from 'three highs″ and heart disease, although I am not a doctor, but according to the knowledge and experience I have learned, I think we should usually take some medicines that are conducive to the recovery of the heart according to the doctor's instructions, and bring some emergency heart medicines, such as nitroglycerin, danshen drip pills, etc., so that we can help ourselves in the event of a heart attack, which can help to slow down the symptoms of the disease and save our lives.

Heart attack is a life-threatening acute disease, we all need to understand some of the symptoms of heart attack, learn a little first aid methods and knowledge, in order to timely rescue and dial 120 for help, to help patients save their lives.

I had a sudden heart attack on 2019-9-27 and went to the hospital for stenting and had four stents put in. A heart attack is a blockage of blood vessels after atherosclerosis of the heart arteries, and the stents are put in to hold the blockage open and unclog the arteries! Without this stenting technique, I would have left this world a long time ago! Now that I'm cured, it's business as usual!

You asked what kind of heart attack is when more and more people are dying from it.

Answer you. Heart attack is short for myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction is an acute and highly fatal condition in which thrombosis occurs in the coronary arteries of the heart, leading to acute interruption of ischemia of the heart, resulting in cellular ischemia and even necrosis of cardiac myocytes.

Myocardial infarction can be roughly divided into four stages.

One,Hyperacute.It is within 2 hours of the onset of myocardial infarction.

ii,Acute phase.It is defined as within 24 hours after the acute phase of acute myocardial infarction, after the acute myocardial infarction has occurred.

iii,Subacute phase.It is defined as acute myocardial infarction, after the acute phase and within 2 weeks of the onset of acute myocardial infarction.

Four,old myocardial infarction.It refers to the recovery phase after the occurrence of myocardial infarction, where the ECG shows T-wave hypoplasia or inversion with the formation of pathologic Q-waves. Acute myocardial infarction is a very serious acute condition in cardiology with a high mortality rate.

Why are more and more people dying of heart attacks nowadays, you ask? It is related to underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, accelerated pace of life, abnormal mood swings, anger, excessive sadness, shock, and alcohol consumption.

After myocardial infarction occurs, 30 minutes of hemodialysis reconstruction, if resuscitated in time, will greatly reduce or minimize the probability of death. Cardiac intervention (stenting) is the best life saver when conditions permit.

Despite the direction of social opinion.There are many interpretations and misconceptions about cardiac stents, it is undeniable thatA small heart stent has saved the precious lives of millions of people, as well as prevented the occurrence of countless life's tragic family tragedies and restored the harmony and happiness of countless family marriages. As forThe issue of price, anything, comes with a process, and the reduction in the cost of cardiac stents is indeed a great boon to the people of Lehman.

Myocardial infarction is a very serious heart disease, is due to the coronary artery long-term atherosclerosis, and caused by the reduced elasticity of the coronary artery wall, intima-media thickening, lumen narrowing, thrombosis, blocking the blood vessels supplying the myocardium, resulting in myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, and in severe cases, myocardial necrosis, which requires immediate rescue treatment in the psychiatry department of the regular hospital, emergency department, to alleviate ischemic myocardium, to save the patient's life. The patient's life. If you do not get timely treatment, large myocardial infarction, there will be serious complications, heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, cardiogenic shock, and even sudden death.

Thanks for the invitation! Myocardial infarction is considered a class of acute coronary syndromes. Acute coronary syndromes that represent persistent myocardial ischemia or injury include unstable angina, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Heart attack is the abbreviation of myocardial infarction, as the name implies, is a heart disease caused by infarction of the heart muscle cells, heart attack is a clinical emergency, but also a common cause of sudden death, identification of untimely disease often progress rapidly, so that we should pay attention to the existence of high-risk factors, especially for the population, should pay more attention to the identification of early detection, early treatment, is very important to improve our prognosis.

Myocardial infarction is a special type of coronary heart disease, which occurs when the coronary arteries become occluded, leading to persistent ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of the heart muscle cells. Typical symptoms of myocardial infarction are persistent squeezing pain in the anterior region of the heart, which is often severe and intolerable, often accompanied by dyspnea, sweating, and a sense of impending death, as well as radiating pain on the back of the shoulder, which often cannot be relieved after resting or taking sublingual nitroglycerin and other treatments.

For people who develop acute myocardial infarction, if they cannot be taken to the doctor for revascularization treatment in time, with the increase of infarction time, especially for patients with large myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and heart failure will occur very soon, which will seriously affect the quality of life and even lead to the occurrence of sudden death. We must note that not all patients with myocardial infarction will have typical pain, some patients may have toothache, shoulder and back pain, epigastric pain and other parts of the body, while a small number of elderly people or diabetic patients may even have no obvious pain.

Therefore, early identification of myocardial infarction is crucial, especially for the presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery atherosclerosis and other underlying diseases, after the occurrence of angina pectoris, especially after frequent angina episodes, persistent chest pain, should be highly vigilant. Of course, before myocardial infarction occurs, there are often certain triggering factors, such as strenuous exercise, hard stool, emotional excitement and so on. For people with myocardial infarction, timely medical treatment is the key to improving the prognosis. Once the diagnosis is established, timely revascularization treatment, such as drug thrombolysis or stent intervention, is needed to quickly open the blood vessels and restore the blood supply.

In a nutshell.A heart attack is a blockage of the coronary arteries and insufficient blood supply causing myocardial ischemia and necrosis.The occurrence of a heart attack is often characterized by the following signs:Chest pain, with a sense of dying, often squeezing, tightening, or a constant dull ache, or accompanied by pain in the arms, neck, throat, or reflexes in the jaw or teeth. It may be accompanied by profuse sweating or unconsciousness.After a heart attack, always remember to call 120, myocardial infarction in the golden 120 minutes to get treatment can greatly improve the patient's prognosis, save the patient's life!Remember the two 120s. Chest pain centers can save lives!

In our TV dramas, we can often see this kind of plot: an old man suddenly covers his chest and then faints unconscious, which may be a heart attack. Over the years, through a variety of publicity, in fact, we people have a certain understanding of heart attack. Simply put, what kind of disease is heart attack? Myocardial infarction is an acute disease caused by blockage of coronary arteries, and its most serious consequence is that it will lead to sudden death, some of which will die in a very short period of time, which is why this disease is very scary.

So what about this coronary artery? Let's start with a picture.

The arrows point to the coronary arteries, his role is to supply blood to our heart. To make an analogy, our heart is a piece of land, the coronary arteries are the canals, and our heart muscle is to grow crops. If our canals are blocked, then. Our crops will die. This crop died in our heart is myocardial necrosis. You can think about what the heart muscle is doing, the heart muscle is our blood pump ah, if the heart muscle has no power, then our body can not have enough nutrients. Therefore, after the coronary artery blockage, the heart muscle will die, this necrosis is called infarction. This is myocardial infarction.

So why do we get myocardial infarction? To understand why we get myocardial infarction, we need to understand why the coronary arteries get blocked. In order to understand why the coronary arteries become blocked, we have to understand the concept of atherosclerosis. The so-called atherosclerosis, that is to say, our blood vessel wall was quite smooth, and then, due to some reasons, so that our blood vessels began to rust (the reason will be said later), the blood vessels rusted blood vessels will get smaller and smaller, the ultimate end is that the blood vessels are completely blocked, the formation of myocardial infarction.

Next, we will talk about the causes of atherosclerosis, that is, the cause of blood vessel rust, the general situation to form atherosclerosis has to meet the following conditions: (1): blood vessel damage: that is to say in a variety of circumstances our blood vessels have been damaged, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, metabolic syndrome, mental stress, hyperthyroidism, smoking and so on all kinds of circumstances will cause damage to blood vessels, blood vessels, once damaged, there will be a series of reactions. Once the blood vessels are damaged, a series of reactions will occur, and this series of reactions will eventually lead to problems with our blood vessel cells (blood vessels are also composed of cells), which will allow the cells to combine with lipids and form atheromatous plaques; (2): Lipid Aggregation: that is to say, lipids are gathered together, so why are lipids aggregated, under normal circumstances, our fats in the bloodstream are associated with lipoproteins, and there are many kinds of lipoproteins, including lipoprotein and lipocalin. Under normal circumstances, our fats in the bloodstream are associated with lipoproteins, and there are many types of lipoproteins, most of which transport lipids from the blood vessels to the liver (the main site of fat metabolism) or other organs, but LDL or VLDL do allow lipids to come into the blood vessels (since these lipoproteins are very small, they can be interpreted as leaking out). These lipids in the blood vessels are called hyperlipidemia, and these little things bind to our blood vessel cells (mentioned above), and as soon as they do, they form atheromatous plaques, which, after a complex of other causes, ultimately make our blood vessels become less and less elastic the more they turn out to be, thus exacerbating the damage to the blood vessel cells and creating a vicious cycle.

Then tell us how myocardial infarction occurs, first of all, after the formation of atherosclerosis in our coronary artery blood vessels (as already mentioned), the outside of our blood vessel cells will be adhering to a lot of lipids, these things are very brittle and easy to fall off, and once they fall off, they will be in the follow the blood flow, and when it comes to a very small blood vessel, it will be stuck there, so that the blood vessel will be blocked completely, and then the formation of myocardial infarction will occur. Then a myocardial infarction will form.

So, myocardial infarction what are the main performance, first of all, the most prominent performance is chest pain, usually a very long time will not be relieved, mainly concentrated in the back of the sternum, that is, in the picture of the place where the hand pressed, and then some people will have a sense of dying, sweating, dyspnea, numbness of the arm (there are some people will have toothache, neck and neck pain, and even epigastric pain, heartburn) and so on these performances, if you are in this kind of situation, I think you rush to the hospital. If you have this kind of situation, I think you hurry to go to the hospital, this kind of disease is really very serious.
