Symptoms of myocardial damage mainly include chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea, etc. The causes of myocardial damage are different, and there will be some differences in the manifestation of symptoms.
Damaged myocardium refers to necrosis of myocardial cells caused by infection, trauma, ischemia and so on. Clinically, it is often manifested as chest tightness, chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations and other symptoms. Damaged myocardium is not a separate disease, and may occur in myocarditis, heart failure, myocardial trauma, and so on. If the myocardium is damaged in a small area, the condition can be mild with no symptoms or symptoms that are not very obvious, such as palpitations and chest tightness.
If myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction causes extensive damage to the myocardium, the patient may experience long-lasting crushing pain in the precordial area as well as a sense of suffocation, accompanied by a sense of dying, dyspnea, sweating, etc., and there may also be changes in blood pressure and heart rate, and in severe cases, it may even lead to shock and death. The performance of myocardial damage varies from age to age. Young people are relatively sensitive to the disease and the symptoms may be obvious, while the elderly themselves have relatively slowed nerve reaction and the symptoms may appear relatively late.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular checkups, do a good job of daily care, and go to the hospital as soon as possible if you experience any discomfort.
