  3. In the acute stage lasts about 2 weeks, the myocardial tissue is melted. The symptoms of the patient are less pronounced: a feeling of mild pain in the chest, shortness of breath, headache, involuntary muscle contractions and feeling cold.
  4. In the subacute period lasting up to 2 months, the patient zarubtsovyvaetsya muscle tissue in the infarct zone and the symptoms gradually disappear.
  5. Postinfarction phase, during which the myocardium adapts to changes, characterized by the final disappearance of symptoms. There comes a period of convalescence.

  • respiratory disorder characterized by a weak pulse, cough, lack of oxygen;
  • occurrence of edema;
  • a syndrome in which a person does not feel pain symptoms - it bothers the sternum discomfort and weakness.

In the event of an acute stage may appear several characteristics atypical form, which complicates the diagnosis. To confirm a heart attack requires a blood test - this method of diagnosis is highly informative. Changes in the biochemistry associated with the presence of inflammatory processes.

  • analgesics with strong pains.

Drug treatment of myocardial infarction in young people takes place in a hospital. The main purpose - treatment of acute heart failure, before which it is recommended to ECG - a basic procedure to detect the presence of problems in the structure of the heart as well as blood tests and urine.

Treatment is individual and depends on several factors:

  • lesion size;
  • stage of the disease;
  • complications.

In therapy using various groups of drugs:

  • statins - eliminate cholesterol seals that are a frequent cause of circulatory diseases;
  • Beta-blockers - lower blood pressure and soothe arrhythmia;
  • antiplatelet agents - inhibit platelet adhesion and thrombus formation;
  • ACE inhibitors - support blood vessels;
  • nitropreparatov - eliminate pain and dilates blood vessels;
  • angiotensin receptor blockers - reduce the lesion of the heart muscle.

For young patients need rehabilitation to recover and return to normal life.
