The treatment methods of myocardial infarction include general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc., which should be chosen according to the specific symptoms and severity of the patient’s condition.
1. General treatment: in the acute attack period, we should pay attention to bed rest and keep the surrounding environment quiet; for patients with dyspnea and decreased oxygen saturation, we can provide oxygen intermittently or continuously through the nasal tube mask.
2.Drugs
(1) For patients with pain, morphine, pethidine, nitroglycerin and other drugs can be taken orally or injected in order to relieve pain and other discomforts.
(2) Antiplatelet therapy: oral aspirin can be taken, for aspirin intolerance or contraindication, cilostazol can be used instead of aspirin and other antiplatelet drugs for treatment, which can prevent the formation of blood clots and promote the flow of blood.
(3) Anticoagulation therapy: anticoagulant drugs such as intravenous, subcutaneous or oral common heparin can be used to prevent the formation of blood clots and ensure the flow of blood.
(4) Thrombolytic therapy: Doctors usually inject thrombolytic drugs such as urokinase, streptokinase, and alteplase into the arteries that need to be blocked by blood clots, so as to achieve the effect of dissolving blood clots and unblocking blood vessels.
3. Surgery: For patients who have failed to receive conservative treatment with medication, surgical treatment is also available. Such as percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting and other methods of treatment.
Myocardial infarction is a critical disease that is prone to sudden death, so once it occurs, it is important to pay attention to timely treatment in the hospital, so as not to affect the patient’s life and health.
