Myocardial infarction can be treated using general therapy, medication and surgery.
1. General treatment: absolute bed rest can reduce the heart load. Keeping the external environment relatively quiet can reduce the stimulation, so that the patient can fully rest. Monitor the patient’s vital signs and keep abreast of the changes in the patient’s condition.
2. Drug therapy: For patients with persistent chest pain, morphine and other drugs can be given to relieve pain. The vast majority of myocardial infarction patients, can use nitroglycerin and other drugs to dilate the coronary artery. Metoprolol can reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, and is contraindicated in patients with low blood pressure or slow heart rate.
3. Surgical treatment: Percutaneous coronary intervention is indicated in patients with symptoms within 12 hours of onset of symptoms and with clear electrocardiograms and appropriate cardiac enzyme markers. If intervention fails, emergency coronary artery bypass grafting is indicated.
The above medications are recommended to be used under medical supervision. Patients with myocardial infarction are advised to go to the hospital for prompt treatment.
