Magnesium For Myocardial Infarction
MAGNESIUM FOR myocardial infarction by Alan R. Gaby, MD Medical Editor. Intravenousmagnesium in acute myocardial infarction. Lancet 1986;1234236.
http://www.thorne.com/townsend/may/magnesiummay96.html

Extractions: Medical Editor In 1958, Malkiel-Shapiro reported that magnesium injections appeared to be lifesaving for patients suffering acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In that study, 64 patients with documented AMI or acute coronary insufficiency were treated with a series of intramuscular magnesium injections. Only one of the 64 patients died within 4-6 weeks of the attack (1.6% mortality), compared to an average mortality of 19-50% reported by others for similar patients receiving conventional therapy. Similar results were reported a year later by Parsons et al. In that study, 100 patients with acute coronary heart disease, of which at least one-third had suffered an AMI, received a series of intramuscular injections of magnesium sulfate. Only one death occurred (mortality rate of 1%). These results compared favorably to the previous year (before magnesium was used), in which the mortality rate for similar patients was about 30%. Although these landmark studies were ignored for more than two decades, interest in magnesium was revived by a double-blind study published in the Lancet in 1986. A total of 273 patients with suspected AMI were randomly assigned to receive an intravenous infusion of magnesium or a placebo, beginning immediately upon admission to the hospital. During the first four weeks after treatment, the mortality rate was about 70% lower in patients receiving magnesium than in those given the placebo. In a similar study performed in Israel, magnesium therapy reduced the death rate by 88%.

The heart muscle is what generates the power that pumps blood throughout the body. The good news is that most patients who have heart attacks survive, leave the hospital in good condition, and then go on to lead productive lives for many more years. In this brief article, we discuss the topics listed above.

Seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else is having the symptoms listed below. Signs and Symptoms What Causes It? Atherosclerosis, the process of plaque buildup in an artery until it becomes closed, is the most frequent cause of heart attacks. Heart attacks can also result from heart-muscle spasms or hereditary heart problems. The following increase your risk of having a heart attack. What to Expect at Your Provider's Office If you think that you are having a heart attack, call for medical assistance immediately. Treating a heart attack within 90 minutes can save a person's life. In the emergency room, the following three things will happen very quickly to determine if you are having a heart attack.

Extractions: Of course, evidence itself is without effect. Putting evidence into action is when we should get the benefits. But do we? Demonstration that use of evidence makes a difference is something that many of us want to see. A report from Derbyshire [1] indicates that for mortality after heart attack, we are beginning to get big gains. Study This took place in the health district of South Derbyshire, which has a population of 560,000 with common computerised patient administration and pathology systems. All patients admitted with a coding of acute myocardial infarction over the five years of 1995 to 1999 were obtained, with information from the pathology system about measurements for creatine kinase. Excluded were patients with a coding of myocardial infarction but who had no creatine kinase measured, about 4% of the total. The pathology database was also interrogated for blood lipids in the year after the date of admission. Results There were 5,166 admissions over the five years, two thirds men and two thirds under 75 years old. Creatine kinase tests were requested on 4,912 of them, and 3,382 survived at least one year.

Extractions: Bandolier Bandolier Library search Warfarin plus aspirin is better than aspirin alone after a heart attack. Over four years, treating 1,000 patients with warfarin plus aspirin would have prevented about 50 events, mainly reinfarctions, but would have caused about 20 major bleeds. The question is whether the benefits are worth the hassle. This study was properly randomised with concealed allocation, but open. Men and women younger than 75 years (and without malignant disease, or contraindication to aspirin or warfarin) who had survived an acute myocardial infarction were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: The main outcome was a composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke. The size and duration was predicated on the number of events that occurred.

Extractions: on page 573. A s many as 65 percent of patients with acute myocardial infarction report experiencing symptoms of depression; major depression is present in 15 to 22 percent of these patients. During the past two decades, a substantial body of evidence has established a link between depression, cardiovascular disease and mortality. Two large, community epidemiologic studies demonstrated a significant relationship between depression and mortality in patients with myocardial infarction. Results from another study showed that depression contributes to a greater chance of developing or dying of heart disease in persons who are otherwise healthy, even after controlling for smoking status, gender, weight, activity, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Optimizing BetaBlocker Use After myocardial infarction. TABLE 3 Dosages of BetaBlockers for Short-Term and Long-Term Treatment After myocardial infarction.

Extractions: EDWARD F. ELLERBECK, M.D., M.P.H. A patient information handout on beta blockers, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1865. Although beta-adrenergic blockers can significantly reduce mortality after a myocardial infarction, these agents are prescribed to only a minority of patients. Underutilization of beta blockers may be attributed, in part, to fear of adverse effects, especially in the elderly and in patients with concomitant disorders such as diabetes or heart failure. However, studies have shown that such patients are precisely the ones who derive the greatest benefit from beta blockade. Advancing age or the presence of potentially complicating disease states is usually not a justification for withholding beta-blocker therapy. With use of cardioselective agents and through careful dosing and monitoring, the benefits of beta blockers after myocardial infarction far outweigh the potential risks in most patients.

Extractions: Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) A heart attack is an event that results in permanent heart damage or death. It is also known as a myocardial infarction (MI), because part of the heart muscle (myocardium) may literally die (infarct). Myocardial infarctions occur when one of the coronary arteries becomes severely or totally blocked, usually by a blood clot. Symptoms of heart attack include chest pain (angina), palpitations, syncope (fainting) and shortness of breath. Women tend to have less typical heart attack symptoms. If MI is suspected, emergency medical help should be sought immediately. Physicians usually advise stricken individuals to first call 911, then to chew an aspirin and wash it down with a glass of water, while waiting for help to arrive. Although heart attacks are usually the result of a number of chronic heart conditions (e.g., coronary artery disease ), the trigger for MI is often a blood clot that has blocked the flow of blood through a coronary artery. If the artery has already been narrowed by cholesterol-rich fatty plaque ( atherosclerosis ), the blood clot may be large enough to block the blood flow severely or completely. The person will experience an episode of

Extractions: The Heart Attack Center A heart attack is an event that results in permanent heart damage or death. Heart attacks are also known as myocardial infarction (MI), because part of the heart muscle (myocardium) may literally die (infarction). The main heart attack symptom is chest pain pressure or discomfort. Although myocardial infarctions are usually the result of chronic disease (e.g., coronary artery disease), the trigger for a MI is often a blood clot that has blocked the flow of blood through a coronary artery. If the artery has already been narrowed by fatty plaque (a disease called atherosclerosis), the blood clot may be large enough to block the blood flow severely or completely. The person will experience an episode of cardiac ischemia, which is a condition in which the cardiac muscle is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. This is often accompanied by angina (a type of chest pain , pressure or discomfort), although silent ischemia shows no signs at all. Severe or lengthy episodes of cardiac ischemia can trigger an MI. Depending upon the severity of both the attack and of the subsequent scarring, MI can lead to the following:
