Heart is the major organ present in our human body. The
heart muscle requires constant supply of oxygen-rich blood in order to nourish
it, which is provided by the coronary arteries. In case of loss of blood supply
by coronary arteries, it leads to the death of heart muscles, which is known as
heart attack.
When the heart muscles die, the patient experiences chest
pain, which spreads to other parts of the body such as neck, arms, jaws, ears
etc.
There are different types of heart attacks. The most common
are as follows:
STEMI Heart Attacks:
Substandard MIAn ST-segment level Myocardial Infarction
(STEMI) is a serious form of heart attack in which a coronary artery is
completely obstructed and most of the heart muscles are incapable to get blood.
“ST section elevation” represents a design that reveals up on an
electrocardiogram. This type of heart attack needs immediate, urgent
revascularization which regenerates blood circulation through the artery. This
revascularization is obtained either with medication by means of thrombolytics
(clot busters), which are given intravenously, or mechanically with angioplasty
as a treatment using slim, flexible pipes known as catheters to start the
closed artery.
These catheters are placed at the starting of the coronary arteries,
and contrast dye is treated through them to allow the interventional
cardiologist to collect pictures of any blockage caused in the coronary
arteries. Some of the guidewires are then innovative beyond the blockage and
the clot is pulled out and a little increase is started out to force the
obstruction out of the way. A stent is a metal, capable pipe is often placed
simultaneously to completely brace the cleared artery to allow blood vessels
circulation leads to heart disease.
NSTEMI Heart Attacks:
A non-ST segment level myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a
type of heart attack that does not display a change in the ST section level on
an electrocardiogram and that outcome in harm to the heart of the patient. However,
these sufferers will analyze favorably for the proteins known as troponin in
their blood vessels that is launched from the heart muscles when it is broken.
In NSTEMI heart strokes, it is likely that any coronary artery obstructions are
limited or exist for short-term.
Treatment for an
NSTEMI heart attack, which includes drugs and examination to check whether a
blockage is present or not, so that it should be controlled with drugs only or
eliminated through angioplasty or handled with cardiac bypass graft surgery.
