Myocardial Infarction

Approximately 2 decades ago, or more, some laboratory animals were experimented for the effect of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia with coronary vasoconstriction, and direct depression in myocyte function. In 1980, some cases were reported with high grade ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and sudden deaths because of cocaine use.

Management of Myocardial infarction is a medical emergency. If you have symptoms of a heart attack seek immediate medical attention. Never try to drive your self to the hospital and do not waste time. In a hospital there will be a battery of tests, which would help you make a diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction or Heart attack is caused by interruption in blood supply to a part of heart, one of the most vital organs in our body. This interruption of blood supply results in death of the cardiac musculature compromising its function. Myocardial infarction is one of the most common causes of death in the current decade.
