A Review of Medical Emergencies Related to the Embolic, Inflammatory, and Mechanical Complications in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Although the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) has decreased in United States, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a major medical problem. Many patients still need emergency care department (ED) due to complications mechanical, inflammatory, and embolic factors. This summary aims provide brief available evidence clinical medicine regarding evaluation management after infarction. 30-day mortality AMI recent years, it high at 7.8% many subacute that occur within few weeks. Mechanical problems such as ventricular free wall rupture, septal mitral regurgitation, left aneurysm formation have risk morbidity. The MI can vary severity affect different organs systems body. Heart attacks disrupt normal electrical activity heart, leading irregular rhythms, tachycardia or fibrillation. A attack weaken muscle, making difficult for pump blood effectively. lead failure, condition where is unable meet body's demand oxygen. In severe cases, cause cardiogenic shock, characterized by significant drop pressure inadequate flow vital organs. life-threatening situation requires immediate attention. Sometimes, rupture separating heart's chambers (ventricular septum), VSD. allows between ventricles, decreasing ability effectively.
 Mechanical, associated with impact on morbidity mortality. Physicians should check existing conditions when considering other diagnoses. addition monitoring progression physical examination, electrocardiography point-of-care echocardiography allow rapid noninvasive assessment underlying pathophysiology. Management may depending particular presentation etiology; however, relationships cardiologists are recommended.
