Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a medical emergency that occurs due to the narrowing or blocking of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. This sudden disruption of oxygen-rich blood supply to the heart results in tissue death and can cause long-term damage or lead to heart failure. MI is the leading cause of death in the world, and symptoms include chest pain, nausea, clammy skin, and irregular heartbeat. Early diagnosis and treatment of MI, such as using medication to dissolve clots, can help prevent further damage to the heart and improve patient outcomes.
