Observation for suspected myocardial infarction - what does this mean

Myocardial infarction occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the heart is blocked, causing a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle. this can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and lightheadedness. it is important to observe for suspected myocardial infarction as it can be a life-threatening medical emergency.

What happens during the disease - observation for suspected myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction is caused by a blockage in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. this blockage is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries, which can lead to a narrowing of the artery and decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. if the blockage is not relieved in time, the heart muscle will suffer from lack of oxygen and nutrients, leading to damage or death of the cells. this damage is known as a myocardial infarction.
