Myocardial infarction is a severe and urgent medical condition. When myocardial infarction occurs, it is imperative to call emergency services (dial 120) and transport the patient to the emergency department of a standard hospital for urgent medical treatment. If acute myocardial infarction is not effectively treated, it can lead to serious complications and, in severe cases, death. Therefore, rescue treatment must be carried out. After routine examinations in a standard hospital, effective measures should be taken to alleviate the patient's pain and save their life. During the recovery phase of acute myocardial infarction, it is standard to adjust medications at the department of cardiology, using drugs that activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dilate coronary arteries, nourish the myocardium, improve myocardial blood supply, and prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction.

Can I eat eggs if I have had a myocardial infarction?

Myocardial infarction is a very serious type of coronary heart disease. An important pathological basis of coronary heart disease is the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, which eventually rupture, leading to thrombosis that blocks the coronary arteries and causes myocardial infarction. Therefore, arteriosclerosis and hyperlipidemia are its pathological bases, and eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol. Hence, one should not consume eggs in excess. Eating one egg per day should still be acceptable, but consuming a large number of eggs can lead to increased blood lipids, which is harmful for the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease. It is important to control the amount of eggs consumed, which should not exceed one per day.

Is myocardial infarction dangerous?

Myocardial infarction is a very dangerous heart disease. If it occurs and is not treated effectively, serious complications can arise, including cardiogenic shock, mental disorders, and heart failure, which can lead to death in severe cases. Therefore, effective medication must be used for emergency treatment when myocardial infarction occurs. In daily life, to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction, one should first control blood pressure, adopt a low-sugar diet, reduce arteriosclerosis, and minimize damage to the coronary arteries to effectively avoid the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

Symptoms and warning signs of myocardial infarction

Patients with myocardial infarction often have some precursor symptoms before the onset of a heart attack, including chest tightness, palpitations, irritability, fatigue, and episodes of angina, among which the angina episodes are most characteristic. This angina can manifest as the first occurrence of angina, or as a worsening of previously experienced angina symptoms. It is characterized by more intense chest pain, longer duration, and often occurs without clear triggers. Nitroglycerin taken sublingually does not fully relieve it. These symptoms should be taken seriously, and it is important to promptly visit the cardiology department of a hospital. Through inpatient treatment, the condition can be stabilized, and many patients can avoid an acute myocardial infarction.

The difference between myocardial infarction and myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction and myocardial necrosis have no significant difference; both are caused by the blockage of coronary arteries leading to ischemic necrosis of the heart muscle. The mechanism of onset and the pathologic changes are the same. In the event of a myocardial infarction, immediate resuscitation treatment is necessary. Without timely treatment, the infarcted area may increase and complications can occur. Common complications include heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock, which can be severe enough to cause death. In the case of a myocardial infarction, it is essential to administer effective medications under the guidance of a doctor to reduce the infarcted area and minimize complications.
