INTRODUCTION
Myocardial infarction is the most dangerous disease or it is also known as the
heart attack. Myocardial Infarction is mainly occurred due to the bad lifestyle and the
changing environment and the smoking, tobacco and alcohol consumption the health of
the people and also in today's lifestyle, the laziness and the sedentary life style are the
main cause of failure. In this assignment, I will discuss the Myocardial infarction and
what are the causes of heart failures and cardiac rehabilitation programs are organized
by the nurses to make the patients. Cardiac rehabilitation create the awareness, help
the patients to habituate healthy life style and improve the quality life of the patient. I will
also discuss the major cause and the factors that affect the heart like tobacco, cigarette,
drinking are the major factors and the precautions for avoiding these etiological factors.
I will also cover that how the surgical intervention are beneficial for healing during the
heart diseases such as pacemaker, Cardiac Re-synchronization Therapy-implantable
Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDLeft Ventricular Assist Device (LVADsAll these devices
requires a care and patients also requires a high care and needs a noise free
environment and clean place. At last, it also includes the certain measures and the care
management of the Heart failure which includes several measures such as Aspirin,
Magnesium, Nitrates, Beta blockers etc. which is helpful in the treatment the problem of
heart failure.
The challenges of integrating heart failure.
Myocardial infarction problem associated at each level and this includes the
issues and what are the factors responsible for the Myocardial infarction. Myocardial
Infarction which is also known as the heart attack, occurs when the flow of blood
suddenly stops or decreases and damage the cardiac muscles which contains three
types of vertebrate muscles which is the main wall of the heart (Romero, Greenwood
and Glaser., 2018). Heart attack suddenly stops the flow of oxygen. The common
symptoms of the heart attack is the chest pain, shoulders, arm, back neck and jaw.
Most of the time MI occurs due to the coronary artery disease. The dis-balance in the
lifestyle such as smoking, diabetes, unorganized daily routine, laziness and the lack of

exercise is the main cause of Myocardial Infarction. The treatment of MI is to be done at
a very short period otherwise it may result into death. Aspirin is the most effective
method that is given just after the heart attack. According to the survey, there are about
500,000-700,000 people suffer from this disease every year (Lee, Maggiore, and
Chung., 2018). The heart attack is mainly occurs after 60 years but in the current
research, children of about 15-20 years are suffering from these diseases. The MI is
now completely entered into the life of everyone that can be kids, adults and the old
ones and also ruins the life at a very less age. The Myocardial infarction occurred in
women in about 50% and generally experience the back pain, heartburn, breathing
problems. According to the latest research of World Health Organization of 2017, the
death rate from the Myocardial Infarction is of about 24.4% of the total death in
Maldives. The acute disease related with the MI is the Acute coronary syndrome and
the symptoms of this syndrome is the chest pain or discomfort, indigestion, sudden
heavy sweating, dizziness and fatigue. This is a medical emergency and this should be
treated at a priority otherwise the patients may lose their lives. Most of the people are
not aware about the heat attack problems and treated it as a “life threatening” problem,
but this is not the case. This disease can be treated easily with the few precautions
(Vyas., Ahamed., Batar and Gehlot., 2019).
In the recent research, one real case of 60 year old man who was aware about the
chest pin from last one year problem. He admitted that he is a chain-smoker and
consumes heavy dose of alcohol. Chest pain is also a part of Myocardial infarction and
this is the most challenging task for the doctors and the especially for the nurses
because nurses are the first-aid of any disease and stabilize the patients when the
doctor is not available. In the treatment of Myocardial diseases, several parameters are
checked such as medical history of the patient, Electrocardiogram or ECG report if any
or for the new patient, it is required to get the and these are the necessary steps to get
rid of this problem (Schiele and Bassand., 2017).
There is a process which cure or stabilize the patients is the thrombolytic treatment or
the medication which is approved by the emergency treatment of heart failure. But the
recent study states that the patients older than 60 years are kept out from this
thrombolytic treatment but this proves a better treatment for the patients in between 25-
