Myocardial Infarction
ASSESSMENT OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
- History of illnesses
- Chest pain not relieved by rest or medications
- Presence of shortness of breath
- Nausea and vomiting
- Decreased urinary output
- Monitor vital signs, especially the blood pressure
and pulse rate - Perform a precise and complete physical assessment to detect complications and changes
in the patient’s status.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
- Chest Pain (Cardinal Symptom)
- Shortness of breath
- Indigestion
- Tachycardia and Tachypnea
(Increased heart rate and
respiratory rate) - Catecholamines responses
- Fever
CARDIAC REHABILITATION POST MI PATIENTS
- ACUTE PHASE
- TRAINING PHASE
- MAINTENANCE PHASE
Early mobilization
ACUTE PHASE
Aerobic Training Guidelines and Classification of Activities for different Classes of clients/Patients
TRAINING PHASE
MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROGRAM IN MI PATIENTS
MAINTENANCE PHASE
Where is the most frequent location for myocardial infarction to occur?
Left ventricle
