A myocardial infarction (MI), usually known as a heart attack, happens when blood flow to a part of the heart reduces or discontinues, causing injury to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort that may travel to the shoulder, arm, back, neck or jaw. It typically takes place in the middle or left-hand side of the chest. A few of its other symptoms are shortness of breath, nausea, weakness, cold sweat, fatigue or stomach pain. An MI might cause heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest, and is generally caused by coronary artery disease. Myocardial infarctions are handled by the specialties of cardiology and emergency medicine. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to myocardial infarction. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in cardiology. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
