1. HeartPoint: Myocardial Infarction
   Clear patientoriented information on having a heart attack. Includes an animation of the pathological process and answers to a wide variety of common questions about this type of heart disease.  
   http://www.heartpoint.com/mi.html
   
   Extractions: The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. "Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients. This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood. This occurs 98% of the time from the process of arteriosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") in coronary vessels. Although it once was felt that most heart attacks were caused from the slow closure of an artery, say from 90 or 95% to 100%, it is now clear that this process can occur in even minor blockages where there is rupture of the cholesterol plaque. This in turn causes blood clotting within the artery, blocking the flow of blood. This sort of event is illustrated above. The heart muscle which is injured in this way can cause irregular rhythms which can be fatal, even when there is enough muscle left to pump plenty of blood. When the injured area heals, it will leave a scar. While the heart won't be able to pump quite as much as before, there is often plenty of good muscle left to take care of the job, and recovery can be quite complete. While heart attacks are clearly scary, with modern techniques, patients survive most of them. Furthermore, most can have a long and satisfying life, perhaps more satisfying than before.

   Extractions: The National Registry of Myocardial Infarction (NRMI), sponsored by Genentech, Inc., is one of the largest observational studies of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Since 1990, NRMI has collected data on more than 1.8 million AMI patients, and helped more than 1,600 participating hospitals assess their approach to AMI treatment and identify trends in patient outcome. Because of its size and scope, NRMI has had a profound impact on AMI treatment practices. As part of the commitment to improving AMI outcomes, NRMI also brings teams of healthcare professionals together at the hospital and health system levels to evaluate treatment procedures, monitor resource utilization, identify patient-selection issues, and monitor outcomes.

   http://medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/MYOCARD/MYOCARD.html
   
   Extractions: Return to the tutorial menu. Ischemic heart disease is caused by an imbalance between the myocardial blood flow and the metabolic demand of the myocardium. Reduction in coronary blood flow is related to progressive atherosclerosis with increasing occlusion of coronary arteries. Blood flow can be further decreased by superimposed events such as vasospasm, thrombosis, or circulatory changes leading to hypoperfusion. Coronary artery perfusion depends upon the pressure differential between the ostia (aortic diastolic pressure) and coronary sinus (right atrial pressure). Coronary blood flow is reduced during systole because of Venturi effects at the coronary orifices and compression of intramuscular arteries during ventricular contraction. Factors reducing coronary blood flow include: Decreased aortic diastolic pressure Increased intraventricular pressure and myocardial contraction Coronary artery stenosis, which can be further subdivided into the following etiologies: Fixed coronary stenosis Acute plaque change (rupture, hemorrhage)

   Extractions: Topics for study: Introduction (Read this first) Inferior Q-Wave MI Family Anterior Q-Wave MI Family MI + Bundle Branch Block Non Q-Wave MI ... Miscellaneous QRS Abnormalities When myocardial blood supply is abruptly reduced or cut off to a region of the heart, a sequence of injurious events occur beginning with subendocardial or transmural ischemia, followed by necrosis, and eventual fibrosis (scarring) if the blood supply isn't restored in an appropriate period of time. Rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by acute coronary thrombosis is the usual mechanism of acute MI. The ECG changes reflecting this sequence usually follow a well-known pattern depending on the location and size of the MI. MI's resulting from total coronary occlusion result in more homogeneous tissue damage and are usually reflected by a Q-wave MI pattern on the ECG. MI's resulting from subtotal occlusion result in more heterogeneous damage, which may be evidenced by a non Q-wave MI pattern on the ECG.
