Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, is caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to blockage of the coronary arteries, usually due to atherosclerosis. There are different types of infarcts defined by the location and thickness of the heart muscle involved. MI is a major cause of death in industrialized nations, accounting for 10-25% of all deaths, and is more common in elderly males. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and family history. Symptoms include chest pain and discomfort, dyspnea, fatigue, nausea and sweating. Diagnosis involves cardiac enzyme levels, electrocardiogram changes and imaging tests. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications like
1) Ischaemic heart disease (IHD), also called coronary artery disease, is caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. The two main manifestations of IHD are angina and myocardial infarction (MI).
2) Angina is characterized by chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen. MI occurs when an area of the heart is damaged or dies due to complete blockage of blood supply.
3) Risk factors for IHD include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, and family history. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, procedures like angioplasty and bypass surgery.

1. Coronary heart disease is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries that supply the heart, reducing blood flow.
2. Symptoms of stable angina include chest pain or discomfort brought on by activity or stress that is relieved by rest.
3. Risk factors for coronary heart disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, obesity, and lack of exercise.
Heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is less efficient, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body.
Arteriosclerosis is a general hardening of the arteries, while atherosclerosis specifically refers to the accumulation of lipid in arterial walls over time, reducing blood flow. Atherosclerosis involves plaque buildup that progressively narrows arteries, creating lesions that can lead to ischemia, heart damage, and myocardial infarction if a plaque ruptures. Regular exercise can help control risk factors, improve endothelial function, increase maximum oxygen consumption, and reduce symptoms of atherosclerosis.
1. Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, damaging heart muscle.
2. It is usually caused by a buildup of fatty plaques in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. When a plaque ruptures, a blood clot forms that blocks one of the arteries.
3. Symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort that may travel to the arm, shoulder, or jaw. Early treatment is critical to reduce damage to the heart.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and in Malaysia. It occurs when the heart becomes inefficient at pumping blood due to issues like blocked arteries or heart muscle damage. Common types of heart disease include coronary heart disease, heart failure, and heart attack. Smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity are major risk factors. Symptoms can include chest pain, palpitations, and dizziness. To prevent heart disease, people should quit smoking, follow a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, and take medications as prescribed. Making lifestyle changes is key to reducing the risk of this serious condition.
Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to brain damage and neurological deficits. It is a medical emergency. According to the WHO, 15 million people suffer strokes worldwide each year, resulting in 5 million deaths and 5 million cases of permanent disability. The main types of stroke are ischemic, which accounts for 85% of cases and is caused by a blockage of blood vessels in the brain, and hemorrhagic, which results from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, previous TIAs, and older age. Symptoms depend on the affected area of the brain and may include weakness, numb
Angina pectoris is a pain syndrome that occurs when coronary blood flow is inadequate to supply the oxygen required by the heart in a portion of the myocardium.
The primary cause of angina pectoris is an imbalance between the demand and supply of oxygen.
The heart is the vital organ in the body, which pumps the blood and the blood flows in the whole body through the vessels called the cardiovascular system (CVS).
Hypertension i.e., high blood pressure, is a very common disorder, coccus due to excessive pressure, exerted against the wall of the arteries as it flows through them. It is also known as the “silent killer” because it usually occurs without any symptoms.

Myocardial Infraction (MI): It consists of two words “Myocardial” which means Muscles
of the heart and the word “Infraction” means tissue death.
MI is defined as the irreversible death (necrosis)of heart muscles secondary to the prolonged
lack of oxygen supply (ischemia).
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.

Note:
• NSTEMI= It is usually the result of a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries. A
blockage can develop due to a buildup of plaque, a substance mostly made of fat,
cholesterol, and cellular waste products.
• The phrase heart attack is often used non-specifically to refer to a myocardial infraction
and to sudden cardiac death.
• MI is different from cardiac arrest, but MI can cause cardiac arrest, where the heart is not
contracting at all or so poorly that all vital organs can’t function properly, thus causing
death. It is also distinct from heart failure, in which the heart’s pumping action is
impaired. However, an MI can lead to heart failure.
