Acute subendocardial myocardial infarction - what does this mean
Acute subendocardial myocardial infarction occurs when there is a sudden decrease in the blood supply to the heart, usually due to a blockage in one of the coronary arteries. this causes damage to the heart muscle, leading to chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - acute subendocardial myocardial infarction
Acute subendocardial myocardial infarction is a type of heart attack caused by a sudden blockage of a coronary artery, resulting in a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle and eventual tissue death. this blockage is usually caused by a buildup of cholesterol and other fatty substances, known as plaque, in the artery wall. if a plaque becomes unstable, it can rupture and form a blood clot that blocks the artery, leading to ischemia and necrosis of the subendocardial myocardium.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of treatment: Reduce mortality and improve patient outcomes.
- Administering oxygen therapy

- Performing coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery
- Lifestyle modifications including quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet
- Monitoring of vital signs and cardiac function
- Counseling on lifestyle changes and risk factors
- Providing emotional support for the patient and family
13 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Acute subendocardial myocardial infarction - Prevention
The best way to prevent acute subendocardial myocardial infarction is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, regular check-ups with a physician and the monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol, and other cardiovascular risk factors can help to identify and address any underlying issues that may lead to an acute subendocardial myocardial infarction.
