The main cause of myocardial infarction is the rupture of plaque on the basis of atherosclerosis, leading to the formation of acute thrombus.
Myocardial infarction mostly occurs on the basis of coronary heart disease, the coronary artery will appear in the local plaque, unstable plaque will occur suddenly rupture, local damage leads to rapid aggregation of platelets to form a thrombus, thrombus blockage of the coronary artery can occur in acute myocardial infarction.
Acute myocardial infarction will lead to myocardial necrosis, the acute phase should be given anti-platelet drug therapy, such as aspirin, clopidogrel or Tegretol, etc., to reduce platelet aggregation, to avoid thrombus formation, and timely coronary stenting surgery, to save the dying myocardium.
Patients with coronary artery disease should be treated under doctor’s supervision, focusing on oral antiplatelet drugs to inhibit the function of platelets and reduce the risk of thrombosis.
