A lot of people think
A symptom of a heart attack is chest pain
But there are many atypical symptoms
For example, stomach pain, shoulder and neck pain,
Toothache, migraines...
A few days ago
Emergency Department of Ningbo Ninth Hospital, Zhejiang Province
I encountered a nerve-wracking incident
The 23-year-old died of an acute myocardial infarction
At 7 p.m., 120 ambulances roared in, bringing a male patient. The patient's respiratory and cardiac arrest was already pale and stiff, and the cold straight line showed that the man's heart had stopped beating for more than half an hour before being sent to the hospital.
The medical staff at the scene made every effort to rescue them, but they were unable to return to heaven. It's a shame the lad is only 23 years old.
The family could not accept this fact. They cried to the emergency doctor Xu Hao: The child's health has always been very good, there is nothing wrong. These days the weather is cold, said a little stomach pain, asthma, suspected of cold, did not go to the hospital, took some stomach medicine, did not expect it ...
Why did the stomach pain suddenly die? Everyone thought it was unbelievable. The doctor, like a detective, began to search for the cause.
Troponin over 135! This is a marker of necrosis of myocardial injury, with a normal value of less than 0.1. Combined with the clinical manifestations and examination results, the preliminary judgment is that the culprit is acute myocardial infarction!
△ Typical myocardial infarction pain site
There is a kind of stomach pain called myocardial infarction
Acute myocardial infarction manifests itself as stomach pain, and the 23-year-old is not the first. At the end of last year, Xu Hao, an emergency doctor at the hospital, also encountered the same tragedy.
A 43-year-old middle-aged man who had a cardiac arrest was only found out half an hour after he was sent to first aid, but it was too late.
The family's story is the same as that of the 23-year-old boy's family. Usually good health, but also love to exercise. Two days before the incident, he said that he had stomach pain, thought it was a stomach disease, took stomach medicine, but did not alleviate it, and then the pain intensified, irritability, sweating, and soon developed to the point of inability to rescue.
Upon investigation, the cause of death was acute myocardial infarction. The family is very confused, he did not have heart disease before, stomach pain on the heart attack?
Later, it was learned that the middle-aged man had a history of smoking for more than 10 years, half a pack a day, which may be the culprit of the heart attack.
Stomach pain is the main complaint of atypical myocardial infarction
Dr. Xu Hao said that the myocardial infarction we usually encounter with chest pain as the main symptom is a typical myocardial infarction, but there is also an atypical myocardial infarction. According to statistics, more than one-third of patients with myocardial infarction in mainland China have atypical clinical symptoms, and most of them are atypical myocardial infarction.
△ The above are all pain departments of atypical myocardial infarction
The most common manifestations of atypical myocardial infarction are stomach pain, as well as headaches, back pain, chest tightness, nausea and vomiting, and sweating.
Such myocardial infarction alarms are often not found in time, and eventually lead to tragedy and regret.
In fact, simply put, myocardial infarction is persistent angina. Angina due to atypical myocardial infarction is usually a few minutes, usually not more than 15 to 20 minutes. If the above discomfort exceeds 20 minutes, or is accompanied by frequent death or sweating, there is a high suspicion of myocardial infarction. Don't mess around, dial 120 now!
