myocardial infarction

chest pain
1. heart problems
2. lung problems
3. gastrointestinal problems
4. anxiety/panic attack
angina
1. chest pain or discomfort
2. symptom of heart disease
3. caused by reduced oxygen in the blood in the heart
4. types
  1. typical/stable
    1. on exertion
    2. <20 min
    3. 70% atherosclerosis
    4. reversible
    5. ST segment depression
    6. relieved by rest/nitrates
  2. prinzmetal/variant
    1. unrelated to exertion
    2. due to coronary vasospasm
    3. reversible injury
    4. ST segment elevation
    5. relieved by nitrates/calcium-channel blockers
  3. unstable/crescendo
    1. occurs at rest
    2. due to acute plaque changes
    3. reversible injury
    4. ST segment depression
    5. relieved by nitrates
    6. high risk of progression to MI
5. emergency treatment
  1. morphine
  2. oxygen
  3. nitrates
  4. aspirin
types of MI
1. subendocardial injury
  1. ST depression
2. transmural injury
  1. ST elevation

4. sick or discomfort in stomach
gross and microscopic findings of MI
1. 0-24 hrs
