The consequences of myocardial infarction and possible complications
Acute effects
- Heart failure usually develops in the left ventricular type, since cases of infarction in the right ventricle are extremely rare. Thus ischemia the affected section of the heart is poorly reduced, ejection of the blood is sharply reduced, there is stagnation in the pulmonary circulation, peripheral bodies are not sufficiently supplied with blood.
- Pulmonary edema is another consequence of myocardial infarction. Is characterized by the appearance and increase in shortness of breath and development of dry cough. Then, the cough becomes wet with white frothy sputum. Later in the alveoli into red blood cells, which leads to the appearance of sputum, painted in pink color.
- Arrhythmias in left ventricular type of cardiac fibrillation, blockade feet beam Guisa, fibrillation of the left ventricle.
- After the upper subendocardialnah myocardial infarction can develop blood clots in the large circle. Blood clots from the bloodstream to the brain, leading to ischemic stroke, as well as in the kidneys and limbs, causing the same heart attack in the kidney and ischemia in the muscles.
Long-term effects
Such effects are more common, but less likely to have a malignant course leading to death.
- Infarction in a patient after a heart attack. Usually has no symptoms and is a measure of compensating the violated blood circulation.
- Left ventricular failure. Manifested in the form of circulatory disorders and cardiac asthma, can lead to disability. Infarct these symptoms appear in the acute period.
- Arrhythmia, atrioventricular and sinoatrial blockade.
After a heart attack may develop pericarditis – inflammation of the serous membranes of the heart. The most severe consequence of the disease is the broken heart: the damaged area, devoid of elasticity, can not withstand the blood pressure. One more complication of a massive heart attack – aneurysm of the heart. In addition, you may experience the consequences, such as post infarction syndrome, neurotrophic changes of the myocardium, thromboangiitis.
