Acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI) is a condition in which the anterior wall of the heart becomes ischemic and necrotic due to stenosis and blockage of the cardiovascular vessels. It
may be related to coronary atherosclerosis, in which the vascular lumen of the patient becomes narrowed, resulting in reduced blood supply, and the ischemic myocardium continues to work, causing hypoxia and necrosis. AMI can cause sudden pain in the precordial area, accompanied by a sense of death, and pain lasts for a long time. AMI may cause complications such as arrhythmia, heart failure, shock, etc.
