  1. Myocardial Infarction By Katie Beretich

  2. James Klosterman • 61 yr old German male • Lutheran minister- works 40 hrs/week • Low activity level- walks his dog 15 mins/day • Hospitalized after sudden onset of severe precordial pain on the way home from work • Pain described as pressure-like pain radiating to the jaw and left arm • He was found to have suffered a myocardial infarction • Treated with an emergency angioplasty of the infarct-related artery

  3. What is a Myocardial Infarction? • Also known as a heart attack • Occurs when blood flow to heart is blocked • Most MI’s caused by blood clot • Blood clot blocks coronary arteries • Plaque • cholesterol

  4. Risk Factors • Age • Men > 45 • Tobacco use • Diabetes • High blood pressure • High blood cholesterol • Family history • Lack of physical activity • Obesity • Stress

  5. Signs & Symptoms Pain extending beyond chest to shoulder, arm, back, or even to teeth and jaw Nausea and vomiting Increasing episodes of chest pain Shortness of breath Sweating Fainting

  6. Diagnosis • Electrocardiogram (ECG) • Blood tests • LDH • AST • CPK • Troponin I & T

  7. Surgical Treatment • Angioplasty • Procedure opens blocked vessels • Stent placement • Small mesh tube inserted to expand coronary artery

  8. Medical Treatment • Lopressor 50 mg daily • Prevent angina • Improve survival of MI • Lisinopril 10 mg daily • Improve survival of MI • Nitro-Bid 9.0 mg twice daily • Treatment/ prevention of angina/ MI • NTG 0.4 mg sl prn chest pain • Prevents angina • ASA 81 mg daily • Help prevent second MI

  9. Medical Nutrition Therapy • During immediate post-MI period, may limit initial oral intake • Pain • Anxiety • Fatigue • Shortness of breath • Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Diet

  10. TLC Diet Less than 7% of daily calories from saturated fat 25-35% of daily calories from fat Less than 200 mg cholesterol per day Limit sodium to 2400 mg per day Include 2 g plant sterols

  11. Prognosis Mr. Klosterman has an increased risk of suffering from a second MI. Individuals who survive an MI are 1.5 to 15 times more likely than the general population of death or illness. At age 40 or older, 18% of men will die within the first 5 years of suffering a first MI. However, a lifestyle change can decrease the likelihood of a second MI and death.
