The treatment methods of sudden myocardial infarction include drug therapy, interventional therapy, surgical therapy and other treatments. The specific treatment methods need to be individually selected according to the patient's condition, and measures should be taken to prevent the high-risk population. For the treatment of sudden myocardial infarction, there are mainly the following methods: 1. Drug therapy: thrombolytic therapy: use thrombolytic drugs to dissolve thrombus and restore myocardial blood supply. Antiplatelet therapy: such as aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis. Anticoagulant therapy: use heparin and other anticoagulant drugs to prevent thrombus spread. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists: improve myocardial remodeling and reduce mortality. Nitrates: dilate coronary arteries and relieve angina pectoris. 2. Interventional therapy: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): Percutaneous puncture of a vessel, catheter placement at the site of coronary artery stenosis, balloon dilation or stent placement, and opening of the vessel Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): Use of native vessels at the site of coronary artery stenosis (e.g. internal mammary artery, great saphenous vein, etc.) bypass to restore blood supply to the myocardium Emergency bypass surgery Emergency surgery may be required in patients with severe multivessel disease or other heart diseasesVentricular aneurysm resection Surgery may be required for ventricular aneurysms that form after myocardial infarctionOther treatments Cardioversion and defibrillation: used to treat arrhythmias. Intra-aortic balloon pumping: to help restore cardiac function. Lifestyle changes: including smoking cessation, weight control, moderate exercise, healthy diet, etc. It should be noted that the treatment of sudden myocardial infarction should be based on the specific conditions of the patient.(such as infarction site, extent, complications, etc.). During treatment, doctors will closely monitor the patient's vital signs and cardiac function, and adjust the treatment plan in time. In addition, patients and family members should actively cooperate with the treatment, follow the doctor's recommendations, and carry out rehabilitation and secondary prevention. For high-risk groups (For example, people with coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases), the following measures should be taken to prevent the occurrence of sudden myocardial infarction: 1. Active treatment of primary diseases: control of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other indicators to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. 2. Change lifestyle: quit smoking and limit alcohol, moderate exercise, maintain a healthy diet, control weight. 3. Regular physical examination: Identify and treat potential health problems in a timely manner. 4. Carry first-aid drugs such as nitroglycerin in case of emergency. Sudden myocardial infarction is a serious disease. once it occurs, seek medical attention immediately and strive for effective treatment within prime time. At the same time, patients and family members should also understand relevant treatment knowledge and actively cooperate with treatment to improve survival rate and quality of life.
