What is an inferior myocardial infarction?

Inferior myocardial infarction refers to ischemia and hypoxia in the lower wall of the heart.

Coronary artery stenosis, occlusion, or inflammation in the heart can lead to ischemia, hypoxia, tissue necrosis in part of the myocardial tissue. When the occurrence site is in the lower wall of the heart, it is called inferior myocardial infarction. Patients may experience dizziness, headache, palpitations and other discomfort symptoms. Drugs such as nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate should be given in time to dilate blood vessels to relieve myocardial ischemia. Coronary artery intervention should be taken if necessary to restore blood circulation at the heart and improve patient prognosis.
