Flashcards
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Blockage of blood flow to the heart; critical treatment time is 60-90 minutes.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Heart attack; blood flow to the heart stops, hurting the heart muscle.

Study Notes
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
- Blockage of blood flow in the heart.
- Critical treatment window: 60-90 minutes.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
- Also known as a heart attack.
- Blood flow to the heart is stopped, causing heart muscle death.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Heart fails to pump effectively.
- Fluid buildup in the lungs.
Ischemia
- Reduced blood flow to the heart.
- Leads to oxygen deprivation in tissues.
Angina
- Chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Atherosclerosis
- Plaque buildup in arteries.
- Narrowed blood vessels.
- Reduced blood flow.
