Myocardial infarction (MI or AMI for acute myocardial infarction), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart is interrupted causing some heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, which is an unstable collection of lipids (like cholesterol) and white blood cells (especially macrophages) in the wall of an artery. The resulting ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and oxygen shortage, if left untreated for a sufficient period of time, it can cause damage and/or death (infarction) of heart muscle tissue (myocardium).

please help me. I don’t know the real problem here if it’s MI or pulmonary embolism, or cardiac arrest. I have to make atleast 2 nursing diagnosis and make ncp.Here is the case. MR. BONG CASTRO IS A PHYSICALLY ACTIVE 52 YRS OLD STOCK BROKER.WHILE JOGGING DURING HIS LUNCH HOUR, MR.CASTRO SUDDENLY FALLS TO HIS KNEES AND COLLAPSES ON THE PAVEMENT. A FELLOW RUNNER SEES THAT MR. CASTRO IS NOT BREATHING & IS “TURNING BLUE”. HE INITIATES CPR, W/C IS CONTINUED BY PARAMEDICS CALLED TO THE SCENE.
ASSESSMENT: WHEN MR. CASTRO ARRIVED AT THE CORONARY CARE UNIT, 2 HRS LATER, THE NURSE, Ms. GABUYA PERFORMS THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT. MS.GABUYA FINDS THAT MR. CASTRO’S CARDIOPULMONARY STATUS IS STABLE, W/ NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM AND OCCASIONAL UNIFOCAL PREMATURE VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS.OXYGEN MASK IS ADMINISTERED THROUGH FACIAL MASK.HIS BLOOD PRESSURE 90/60 mmHg, & VASOPRESSOR ARE NOT REQUIRED.HIS TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL.
MR.CASTRO DOES NOT OPEN HIS EYES TO COMMAND, NOISE, OR PAIN. THERE IS NO PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENT, THAT IS, NO WITHDRAWAL FROM OR LOCALIZATION OF PAINFUL STIMULATION. HIS PUPILS ARE EQUAL, ROUND, 2 MILLIMETERS IN DIAMETER, & NON-REACTIVE TO LIGHT. HIS DEEP TENDON REFLEXES ARE SYMMETRICALLY HYPERACTIVE, AND HE HAS BILATERAL POSITIVE BABINSKI RESPONSES. THE NEUROLOGIST DIAGNOSES A COMA DUE TO ANOXIA FOLLOWING CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST, AND FEELS IT IS TOO SOON TO PREDICT MR.CASTRO’S CHANCES FOR RECOVERY.
