How to care for Myocardial Infarction as a nurse
Nursing Care Plan
Pathophysiology
Cardiac muscle tissue death from lack of blood flow. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells. When this is decreased, cells die also called necrosis. Cardiac muscle cells dying is problematic as they do not regenerate (although there is some debate of this topic: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... )
Etiology
Narrowing or occlusion of the cardiac vessels that perfuse the heart. The plaque that causes this could be from poor diet, lack of exercise, or genetics. It can also be from a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that has broken free (embolus) and landed in the heart.Re-perfusion to cardiac muscle and return of cardiac muscle functionality, or as much as possible.
Desired Outcome
Re-perfusion to cardiac muscle and return of cardiac muscle functionality, or as much as possible.Visit us at nursing.com/medical-disclaimer/ for disclaimer information.
