Acute myocardial ischemia The main problem of heart disease caused by the narrowing of blood vessels Because fat sticks to the walls of blood vessels accumulated for a long time. until the artery wall narrows If on any day the rupture of the wound will cause the blood to clot and form a blood clot in the veins. until the blood cannot flow to the heart become myocardial ischemia and lead to myocardial damage or partial death. If it is an aorta that supplies blood to a wide muscle area, there is a risk of sudden and rapid death.
According to statistics, regarding 10% to 15 percent of people with the condition have died before arriving at the hospital, while 10 percent died at the hospital. The sooner the group received treatment, the more likely they were to survive. The damage to the heart muscle is minimal. able to return to normal life But if the heart muscle is severely damaged even survive In the long term, patients who have experienced such conditions would have an impact on the way of life May cause myocardial weakness until it can’t compress work harder As a result, the patient is physically healthy like a person who is weak, easily tired, becomes stuck in a chair, stuck in bed.
