Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack. MI is a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. Myocardial infarction (MI) refers to tissue death (infarction) of the heart muscle (myocardium). It is a type of acute coronary syndrome, which describes a sudden or short-term change in symptoms related to blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction is a common presentation of coronary artery disease. The World Health Organization estimated in 2004, that 12.2% of worldwide deaths were from ischemic heart disease.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) also known as atherosclerotic heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, or ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the most common type of heart disease and cause of heart attacks. The disease is caused by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart, which narrows the lumen of arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of your heart muscles. While often referred to simply as “heart failure,” CHF specifically refers to the stage in which fluid builds up around the heart and causes it to pump inefficiently. You have four heart chambers.

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. Find a good presentation on Acute myocardial infarction here.
ACS covering STEMI and NSTEMI. MI is the most common cause of death in the developed countries and it is important to have a basic information and reach doctor as soon as possible to avoid complications and sudden death.
Myocardial infraction or Heart attack are terms used anonymously, but the preferred term is MI.
In an MI an area of the myocardium is permanently destroyed.
MI is usually caused by reduced or decreased blood flow in a coronary artery due to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent occlusion of the artery by a thrombus.
Myocardial infarction (MI) death of the cells of an area of the heart muscle (myocardium) as a result of oxygen deprivation, which in turn is caused by obstruction of the blood supply; commonly referred to as a “heart attack.”
MI refers to the processes by which myocardial tissue is destroyed in regions of the heart that are deprived of an adequate blood supply because of reduced coronary artery blood flow.
Eighty percent to 90% of all acute MI are secondary to thrombus formation. When thrombus develops , perfusion to the myocardium distal to the occlusion is halted, resulting in necrosis.The myocardium receives its blood supply from the two large coronary arteries and their branches.
Occlusion of one or more of these blood vessels (coronary occlusion) is one of the major causes of myocardial infarction.
The occlusion may result from the formation of a clot that develops suddenly when an athermanous plaque ruptures through the sub layers of a blood vessel, or when the narrow, roughened inner lining of a scleroses artery leads to complete thrombosis.
The acute MI process takes time. Cardiac cells can withstand in ischemic conditions for approximately 20 minutes before cellular death begins.
The earliest tissue to become ischemic is the sub endocardium (the innermost layer of tissue in the cardiac muscle)
If ischemia persists, it takes approximately 4 to 6 hours for the entire thickness if the heart muscle to become necrosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

• Definition of Myocardial Infarction,
• Complication of Myocardial Infarction,
• Risk factors,
• Epidemiology,
• Sign and symptoms associated with Myocardial
Infarction,
• Classification of Myocardial Infarction,
• Diagnosis, and
• Treatment.
3. MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
• Heart attack or Myocardial Infarct
• Myocardial referring muscle of the heart
• Infarct referring to lack of oxygen causing
death of heart muscle
• Atherosclerotic plaque rupture with
thrombus formation in coronary arteries
• Interruption of blood supply to the part of
the heart
• Necrosis of some heart cells
4. COMPLICATIONS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
• Hypotension→reduced
perfusion of other
arteries Ischemia
• Cardiogenic shock
Decreased
contractility
of ventricles
• Disorganized ion movement or
disrupted electrical conduction
system within the
cardiomyocytes
• Arrhythmias
Electrical
instability
5. CONTINUED ……..
• Pericarditis
• Ventricular wall rupture
• Ventricular septal defect→hypoxemia
and damage of lung vessels
• Papillary muscle rupture→mitral
regurgitation
Tissue
necrosis
of heart
Reduced contractility or mitral regurgitation or septal defect
can develop CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
6. Risk Factor of Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Two groups.
Non-modifiable:
Increasing age.
Male sex.
Family history of HTN, DM,
IHD
Genetic abnormalities.
11. Epidemiology of MI
So, in case of any cardiac complication patient must be
hospitalized immediately
12. MI Classification
MI’s can be subcategorized by anatomy and clinical diagnostic
information.
Anatomy
• Transmural
• Subendocardial
Diagnostic
• ST elevations (STEMI)
• non ST Elevations (NSTEMI)
13. According To Anatomy
These endocardial and
subendocardial MI affect
different surface and site of the
myocardium of the heart that
may lead to the dangerous
condition.
They are:
• Anterior MI
• Lateral MI
• Septal MI
• Inferior MI
• Entensive MI
14. According To The Diagnostic
Overview of the clinical classification of MI
Type Clinical classification of MI
Type 1 Spontaneous MI
Type 2 MI secondary to ischaemic imbalance
Type 3 MI resulting in death without biomarkers
Type 4a MI related to PCI
Type 4b MI related to stent Thrombosis
Type 5 MI related to CABG
17. Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial
Infarction
• Clinical symtoms
Chest pain
• ECG changes
ST elevation or depression
• Elevated cardiac biomarkers
cardiac troponin I or T
CK isoenzyme MB
Myoglobin
creatinine kinase (CK)
18. Repeated blood sampling and measurements are required 6–12 h after
admission and after any further episodes of severe chest pain
Three types of tests conducted:
ECG
EET
echocardiogram
19. The clinical circumstances such as:
Anaemia
Infection
Inflammation
Fever
Metabolic or endocrine disorders
Intense prolonged pain at rest - retrosternal pressure or heaviness
(‘angina’) radiating up to the neck, shoulder and jaw and down to the
ulnar aspekt of the left arm
20. Physical Examination
• Tachycardia (rapid heart rate)
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- The heart rate and blood pressure may be elevated due to increased
sympathetic tone .
• Hypotension ↓ 100/60 mmhg
- The blood pressure can be low due to cardiogenic shock depending on
the extent of the attack
• Relatively non-specific.
Physical symptoms are quite similar to those of stable angina, unstable
angina in both STEMI and NSTEMI.
BP measurement
22. Life long treatment of MI patients
• Antiplatelet therapy
-Aspirin - dose 100 mg p.o.
-Clopidogrel 75mg or ticagrelor 90mg twice a day or prasugrel 10mg
• Statins –
-Atorvastatin 40 - 80mg, rosuvastatin 20 - 40mg
• ACE inhibitors - more expressed in left ventricular dysfunction
-perindopril - dose 5-10 mg oral
• Betablockers - 1 - 3 years after MI, longer for pts. With left ventricular dysfunction,
tachyarrhythmia
-Bisoprolol- dose 2.5mg
23. What is angiogram?
• A coronary angiogram is a
procedure where a type of dye
that's visible by an X-ray machine
is injected into the blood vessels
of the heart to see them.
• It is done to see if there's a
restriction in blood flow going to
the heart.
• Helps diagnose heart conditions
and is the most common type of
cardiac catheterization procedure.
24. Surgical Treatment Of Myocardial Infraction
1.Balloon Angioplasty:
Placement of guiding catheter
Introduction of guidewire and
crossing the lesion
Introduction of balloon catheter
Inflation of balloon catheter
Deflation and removal of balloon
catheter
