Heart attack is also called myocardial infarction, large left heart myocardial infarction will lead to pulmonary stasis.
Myocardial infarction is due to coronary artery obstruction, there is insufficient blood supply leading to myocardial ischemia, hypoxic necrosis, the patient usually manifests as persistent precordial pain, radiating to the left shoulder, chest tightness, etc. Myocardial infarction may lead to pulmonary stasis, myocardial infarction causes acute left heart failure, the decline of the left heart function leads to pulmonary venous blood stasis, manifested by dyspnea, coughing up pink foamy sputum.
Myocardial infarction causing pulmonary stasis is a more serious manifestation, should be treated immediately, clear sputum in the airway, immediately oxygen, reduce the surface tension of the foam in the alveoli, so as not to cause asphyxia, can be surgical intervention, the blocked area of the myocardium to restore blood perfusion, to lift the stenosis of blood vessels, to save ischemic and hypoxic myocardium, to alleviate the expansion of infarcts, and to effectively alleviate the pulmonary stasis.
Myocardial infarction can cause pulmonary stasis, if myocardial infarction leads to pulmonary stasis, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the condition and causing damage to the body.
