Myocardial infarction is death of cardiac myocytes (irreversible necrosis) caused by prolonged ischemia. The term "acute" usually refers to the time 6 hours to 7 days following pathologic appearance of the infarct.
The patient may experience ischemic-type chest discomfort with accompanying symptoms of nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, diaphoresis, palpitations, lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, syncope, fatigue and weakness.
Rapid diagnosis and risk stratification of chest pain in patients are important to identify acute myocardial infarction patients who will benefit from reperfusion therapy.
