67-426: Clement Seymour " Coxsone " Dodd CD (26 January 1932 – 4 May 2004) was a Jamaican record producer who was influential in the development of ska and reggae in the 1950s, 1960s and beyond. He was nicknamed "Coxsone" at school due to his talent as a cricketer (his friends compared him to Alec Coxon , a member of the 1940s Yorkshire County Cricket Club team). The Kingston -born Dodd used to play records to
134-411: A blood test for biomarkers (the cardiac protein troponin ). When there is evidence of an MI, it may be classified as an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) based on the results of an ECG . The phrase "heart attack" is often used non-specifically to refer to myocardial infarction. An MI is different from—but can cause— cardiac arrest , where
201-475: A coronary artery caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque is usually the underlying mechanism of an MI. MIs are less commonly caused by coronary artery spasms , which may be due to cocaine , significant emotional stress (often known as Takotsubo syndrome or broken heart syndrome ) and extreme cold, among others. Many tests are helpful to help with diagnosis, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood tests and coronary angiography . An ECG, which
268-474: A benefit of 15 to 45%. Physical activity can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and people at risk are advised to engage in 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic exercise a week. Keeping a healthy weight, drinking alcohol within the recommended limits, and quitting smoking reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Substituting unsaturated fats such as olive oil and rapeseed oil instead of saturated fats may reduce
335-428: A common, and sometimes the only symptom, occurring when damage to the heart limits the output of the left ventricle , with breathlessness arising either from low oxygen in the blood or pulmonary edema . Other less common symptoms include weakness, light-headedness , palpitations , and abnormalities in heart rate or blood pressure . These symptoms are likely induced by a massive surge of catecholamines from
402-480: A late consequence of Kawasaki disease . Calcium deposits in the coronary arteries can be detected with CT scans . Calcium seen in coronary arteries can provide predictive information beyond that of classical risk factors. High blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine is associated with premature atherosclerosis; whether elevated homocysteine in the normal range is causal is controversial. In people without evident coronary artery disease , possible causes for
469-431: A myocardial infarction before age 55 years, or a female first-degree relative (mother, sister) less than age 65 increases a person's risk of MI. Genome-wide association studies have found 27 genetic variants that are associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. The strongest association of MI has been found with chromosome 9 on the short arm p at locus 21, which contains genes CDKN2A and 2B, although
536-463: A myocardial infarction increases with older age, low physical activity, and low socioeconomic status . Heart attacks appear to occur more commonly in the morning hours, especially between 6AM and noon. Evidence suggests that heart attacks are at least three times more likely to occur in the morning than in the late evening. Shift work is also associated with a higher risk of MI. One analysis has found an increase in heart attacks immediately following
603-406: A myocardial infarction. Spasm of coronary arteries, such as Prinzmetal's angina may cause blockage. If impaired blood flow to the heart lasts long enough, it triggers a process called the ischemic cascade ; the heart cells in the territory of the blocked coronary artery die ( infarction ), chiefly through necrosis , and do not grow back. A collagen scar forms in their place. When an artery
670-543: A myocardial infarction. The flow of blood can be imaged, and contrast dyes may be given to improve image. Other scans using radioactive contrast include SPECT CT-scans using thallium , sestamibi ( MIBI scans ) or tetrofosmin ; or a PET scan using Fludeoxyglucose or rubidium-82 . These nuclear medicine scans can visualize the perfusion of heart muscle. SPECT may also be used to determine viability of tissue, and whether areas of ischemia are inducible. Medical societies and professional guidelines recommend that
737-637: A person localizes the chest pain by clenching one or both fists over their sternum , has classically been thought to be predictive of cardiac chest pain, although a prospective observational study showed it had a poor positive predictive value . Typically, chest pain because of ischemia, be it unstable angina or myocardial infarction, lessens with the use of nitroglycerin , but nitroglycerin may also relieve chest pain arising from non-cardiac causes. Chest pain may be accompanied by sweating , nausea or vomiting, and fainting , and these symptoms may also occur without any pain at all. Dizziness or lightheadedness
SECTION 10
#1732790881929804-407: A previous heart attack is also suggestive. The pain associated with MI is usually diffuse, does not change with position, and lasts for more than 20 minutes. It might be described as pressure, tightness, knifelike, tearing, burning sensation (all these are also manifested during other diseases). It could be felt as an unexplained anxiety, and pain might be absent altogether. Levine's sign , in which
871-560: A rise in biomarkers, a rise in the ST segment , changes in the shape or flipping of T waves , new Q waves , or a new left bundle branch block can be used to diagnose an AMI. In addition, ST elevation can be used to diagnose an ST segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). A rise must be new in V2 and V3 ≥2 mm (0,2 mV) for males or ≥1.5 mm (0.15 mV) for females or ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) in two other adjacent chest or limb leads . ST elevation
938-409: A series of leads placed on a person's chest that measure electrical activity associated with contraction of the heart muscle. The taking of an ECG is an important part of the workup of an AMI, and ECGs are often not just taken once but may be repeated over minutes to hours, or in response to changes in signs or symptoms. ECG readouts produce a waveform with different labeled features. In addition to
1005-406: A significant effect on blood cholesterol and thus recommendations about its consumption may not be needed. Trans fats do appear to increase risk. Acute and prolonged intake of high quantities of alcoholic drinks (3–4 or more daily) increases the risk of a heart attack. Family history of ischemic heart disease or MI, particularly if one has a male first-degree relative (father, brother) who had
1072-601: Is a known risk factor, particularly high low-density lipoprotein , low high-density lipoprotein , and high triglycerides . Many risk factors for myocardial infarction are potentially modifiable, with the most important being tobacco smoking (including secondhand smoke ). Smoking appears to be the cause of about 36% and obesity the cause of 20% of coronary artery disease . Lack of physical activity has been linked to 7–12% of cases. Less common causes include stress-related causes such as job stress , which accounts for about 3% of cases, and chronic high stress levels. There
1139-454: Is a recording of the heart's electrical activity, may confirm an ST elevation MI ( STEMI ), if ST elevation is present. Commonly used blood tests include troponin and less often creatine kinase MB . Treatment of an MI is time-critical. Aspirin is an appropriate immediate treatment for a suspected MI. Nitroglycerin or opioids may be used to help with chest pain; however, they do not improve overall outcomes. Supplemental oxygen
1206-806: Is also an important modifiable risk. Short-term exposure to air pollution such as carbon monoxide , nitrogen dioxide , and sulfur dioxide (but not ozone ) has been associated with MI and other acute cardiovascular events. For sudden cardiac deaths, every increment of 30 units in Pollutant Standards Index correlated with an 8% increased risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on the day of exposure. Extremes of temperature are also associated. A number of acute and chronic infections including Chlamydophila pneumoniae , influenza , Helicobacter pylori , and Porphyromonas gingivalis among others have been linked to atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction can also occur as
1273-499: Is associated with infarction, and may be preceded by changes indicating ischemia, such as ST depression or inversion of the T waves. Abnormalities can help differentiate the location of an infarct, based on the leads that are affected by changes. Early STEMIs may be preceded by peaked T waves. Other ECG abnormalities relating to complications of acute myocardial infarctions may also be evident, such as atrial or ventricular fibrillation . Noninvasive imaging plays an important role in
1340-517: Is blocked, cells lack oxygen , needed to produce ATP in mitochondria . ATP is required for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, particularly through the Na/K ATPase . This leads to an ischemic cascade of intracellular changes, necrosis and apoptosis of affected cells. Cells in the area with the worst blood supply, just below the inner surface of the heart ( endocardium ), are most susceptible to damage. Ischemia first affects this region,
1407-433: Is common and occurs due to reduction in oxygen and blood to the brain. In females, the most common symptoms of myocardial infarction include shortness of breath, weakness, and fatigue . Females are more likely to have unusual or unexplained tiredness and nausea or vomiting as symptoms. Females having heart attacks are more likely to have palpitations, back pain, labored breath, vomiting, and left arm pain than males, although

1541-477: Is not the only cause of myocardial infarction, but it may exacerbate or contribute to other causes. A myocardial infarction may result from a heart with a limited blood supply subject to increased oxygen demands, such as in fever, a fast heart rate , hyperthyroidism , too few red blood cells in the bloodstream , or low blood pressure . Damage or failure of procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) may cause
1608-430: Is one of the most common symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and is often described as a sensation of tightness, pressure, or squeezing. Pain radiates most often to the left arm, but may also radiate to the lower jaw, neck, right arm, back, and upper abdomen . The pain most suggestive of an acute MI, with the highest likelihood ratio , is pain radiating to the right arm and shoulder. Similarly, chest pain similar to
1675-414: Is recommended in those with low oxygen levels or shortness of breath. In a STEMI, treatments attempt to restore blood flow to the heart and include percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), where the arteries are pushed open and may be stented , or thrombolysis , where the blockage is removed using medications. People who have a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction ( NSTEMI ) are often managed with

Topical endothelial swelling is one of many factors contributing to this phenomenon. A myocardial infarction, according to current consensus, is defined by elevated cardiac biomarkers with a rising or falling trend and at least one of the following: A myocardial infarction
1809-789: Is the dangerous type of Acute coronary syndrome . Other symptoms may include shortness of breath , nausea , feeling faint , a cold sweat , feeling tired , and decreased level of consciousness . About 30% of people have atypical symptoms. Women more often present without chest pain and instead have neck pain, arm pain or feel tired. Among those over 75 years old, about 5% have had an MI with little or no history of symptoms. An MI may cause heart failure , an irregular heartbeat , cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest . Most MIs occur due to coronary artery disease . Risk factors include high blood pressure , smoking , diabetes , lack of exercise , obesity , high blood cholesterol , poor diet, and excessive alcohol intake . The complete blockage of
1876-457: Is usually clinically classified as an ST-elevation MI (STEMI) or a non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI). These are based on ST elevation , a portion of a heartbeat graphically recorded on an ECG . STEMIs make up about 25–40% of myocardial infarctions. A more explicit classification system, based on international consensus in 2012, also exists. This classifies myocardial infarctions into five types: There are many different biomarkers used to determine
1943-445: Is varying evidence about the importance of saturated fat in the development of myocardial infarctions. Eating polyunsaturated fat instead of saturated fats has been shown in studies to be associated with a decreased risk of myocardial infarction, while other studies find little evidence that reducing dietary saturated fat or increasing polyunsaturated fat intake affects heart attack risk. Dietary cholesterol does not appear to have

Echocardiography may assist in modifying clinical suspicion of ongoing myocardial infarction in patients that can't be ruled out or ruled in following initial ECG and Troponin testing. Myocardial perfusion imaging has no role in
3216-616: The diagnostic accuracy of troponin testing is improving over time. One high-sensitivity cardiac troponin can rule out a heart attack as long as the ECG is normal. Other tests, such as CK-MB or myoglobin , are discouraged. CK-MB is not as specific as troponins for acute myocardial injury, and may be elevated with past cardiac surgery, inflammation or electrical cardioversion; it rises within 4–8 hours and returns to normal within 2–3 days. Copeptin may be useful to rule out MI rapidly when used along with troponin. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are

There are many different causes of fatigue, and myocardial infarction is not a common cause. There is a large crossover between the lifestyle and activity recommendations to prevent a myocardial infarction, and those that may be adopted as secondary prevention after an initial myocardial infarction, because of shared risk factors and an aim to reduce atherosclerosis affecting heart vessels. The influenza vaccine also appear to protect against myocardial infarction with

The most common cause of a myocardial infarction is the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque on an artery supplying heart muscle. Plaques can become unstable, rupture, and additionally promote the formation of a blood clot that blocks the artery; this can occur in minutes. Blockage of an artery can lead to tissue death in tissue being supplied by that artery. Atherosclerotic plaques are often present for decades before they result in symptoms.
