Arterial pressure in myocardial infarction: features, norms and recommendations

One form of ischemic disease affecting the cardiovascular system of a person is called myocardial infarction. Its main features are necrosis of the heart muscle. The process is provoked by a deficiency in the tissues of the organ of oxygen, which, in turn, is caused by an insufficient supply of blood. In order to determine in time the risk of developing a pathology or the presence of a disease, it is necessary to know what pressure is caused by a heart attack. You can begin to worry when pressure values approach 140/90.

General information about the disease

For every thousand men on average, up to five infarcted infarction of the myocardium. For women, the indicator is somewhat lower - necrosis of the heart muscle appears in one of the thousands of women.

The disease most often provokes the appearance in the coronary artery thrombus. In addition, among the reasons are:

• Arterial spasm;
• Stratification of the artery;
• Getting into the artery of foreign bodies.

In some cases, the disease leads to stressful situations or disproportionate physical activity.

How to suspect?

Infarction with low pressure is accompanied by chest pain, the duration of which - from a quarter to a third of an hour. Sensations do not pass even if the patient takes nitroglycerin. Many said that they were haunted by the fear of death.

In some cases, pain as if bursting from the inside, while others say that the sensations are squeezed. In any case, soreness is burning, sharp. Pain syndrome is given to the jaw and arms, neck. In some cases, the epigastric part suffers. But sometimes there is no pain at all. This happens in almost a quarter of all cases known to medicine.

Pressure changes

Often people report low blood pressure after a heart attack. The situation is typical, if no measures have been taken with the disease, they did not seek help from doctors. Explain this phenomenon is simple: because of a heart attack, the functioning of the circulatory system is disturbed, as coronary vessels decrease in diameter, the capacity decreases, and the system as a whole weakens strongly. The vessels become inelastic. In medicine, this condition is commonly called "headless hypertension."

Even if the heart attack provoked a high blood pressure, in the case when there is a frequent decrease in pressure after it, it should be remembered that the situation leads to:

• Arrhythmias;
• Increased heart size;
• Edema of the lower extremities;
• Renal failure.

Low pressure is a serious problem

Remember, if the pressure in the infarction is low, it leads to a general change in the state. You can not return to your former health even if you follow the doctor's recommendations completely, take medication and practice physiotherapy with an enviable regularity. Unfortunately, so far science can not do miracles. Remember, if you are offered guaranteed full recovery of health, most likely, you are dealing with scammers. Beware of such "specialists".

Low pressure in case of a heart attack is one of the most severe symptoms, which is almost impossible to eliminate. Observe the abnormal pressure by the following features:

• General weakness;
• Abnormal heartbeat (too frequent or slow);
• dizziness;
• Frequent yawning;
• Chilliness of limbs.

Remember that such a clinical picture suggests a repetition of a heart attack in the near future. To avoid complications, it is necessary to regularly measure pressure and be observed by a cardiologist. When prescribing drugs, doctors will have to follow the recommendations of the doctors as accurately as possible.

And what at first?

In most cases, at the first stages of development, the pressure in infarction in women rises to 140, but soon changes to a low one. The indicators give a sharp decrease on the second or third day of the infarction, but they are not established at normal values. The most commonly diagnosed pathologically low pressure.

If the study showed a large focal heart attack, the pressure is sharply reduced due to the fact that the system of resistance is violated in the vascular system. In addition, there are failures in the cardiohemodynamic system.

Development of pathology is disappointing

What pressure after a heart attack can the device show? In most cases, it is lowered, even if a person's whole life has suffered from high rates. The myocardium can not normally contract due to pathological changes, the heart minute volume becomes significantly less.

But in the peripheral vessels the pressure rises. After a heart attack, high diastolic pressure is noted, and the systolic blood pressure decreases below normal. However, rarely, but patients are observed in whom the pressure in myocardial infarction remains normal or decreases insignificantly. Doctors explain the resistance of individual patients to the peculiarities of the structure of the body, because of which hemodynamics does not change.

What is the pressure with myocardial infarction?

Summarizing the above, we can say that with a heart attack:

• Initially, the pressure is higher than normal;
• On day 2-3 it drops to below-normal;
• Remains low for a long period (all life).

A repeated sharp increase in pressure may indicate a secondary infarction.

If you have a pressure of 140/90 or higher, the risk of developing the disease is significantly higher than in people whose blood pressure is within the limits of the universal norm.

If your daily blood pressure is lower than normal or normal, indicators exceeding 140/90 may already indicate myocardial infarction.

So, what is the pressure with the infarction? From 140/90 and above.

Symptoms of a heart attack

The fact that the infarction begins can be suspected if the pain stings in the sternum. Usually it comes with attacks and is associated with thoughts of death. In some cases, seizures are rare, others suffer from a series of painful sensations. Sometimes the pain lasts only a minute or two, sometimes a day or more.

Another sign of a heart attack is a rapid pulse or a slow pulse. In some patients, it accelerates to a hundred beats per minute, while in others it slows to only 50.

The reduction in pressure in the last stage of the infarction allows one to draw conclusions about how much the heart muscle has suffered from the disease. The lower the pressure, the more extensive the lesions, the longer the rehabilitation.

What should I look for?

Pressure in case of an infarct is not the only sign that allows one to suspect a disease. In addition, doctors recommend urgently seeking specialized care if they notice:

• noise in ears;
• Lack of air;
• Frequent palpitations;
• Shortness of breath;
• Flies, double in the eyes;
• In the temples pulsates;
• Face is on fire.

But if all these symptoms are present, and the pressure is normal, it's too early to calm down. It is likely that the peripheral pressure and minute volume of the heart balance BP, however, myocardial infarction is. Do not delay contact with a doctor: it is always better to perebdet than to not have to.

Clinical picture after a heart attack

Since after myocardial infarction almost all patients notice a decrease in pressure, this affects the quality of life. You should be prepared for:

• Meteosependency. The general condition becomes significantly worse if solar storms or magnetic storms start, the weather changes.
• Mildness, a sense of "squeezed lemon." People who survived a heart attack, very quickly tired, which is especially noticeable if a person spends his day at work. By the end of the shift, working capacity is almost zero.
• Pulsating pain in occiput, temples. Typically, this feeling is associated with low blood pressure and does not torment those who have normal BP after a heart attack. In addition to pulsation, gravity in the forehead and migraine in the half of the head can also be pursued. Sensations are stupid, last a long time, accompanied by urge to vomit, cause drowsiness.
• Frequent numbness of the extremities. Legs, hands after a heart attack are often cold, sensitive to both low and high temperatures.
• Pain in the sternum, in the heart.
• Dissipation, problems with memory, depressive states, emotional instability.
• Dizziness. Most often it accompanies a sharp rise (for example, in the morning from a bed). In the eyes of darkens, there are flies and the state is as if a man just about to faint.

What to do?

Medicine offers several treatment options for those who have experienced myocardial infarction. But there have not been any effective methods of preventing this disease yet. There are several ways of prevention, showing greater or lesser effectiveness, which depends on a number of factors, including individual characteristics of the human body. Usually it all comes down to a healthy lifestyle and physical activity (jogging, charging, swimming).

With an infarction, it is important to exclude physical and psychological stress. If the symptoms described above are present, you need to see a doctor and report a serious condition. Probably, the doctor will change the appointed course of therapy.

Non-medicamentous methods

Since survivors of infarction are prone to sudden pressure surges, it is recommended to always keep a supply of tea or coffee (to taste). When the pressure drops, you should brew a strong drink and drink it, try to calm down at the same time, drive out the panic.

Doctors recommend drinking ginseng extract if possible. This tool has proved to be a good pressure regulator.

In case there is no effect, doctors should be urgently called. As a rule, a stable low pressure in the post-infarction state indicates the approach of a repeated attack.

To prevent this, one can try one of the newest developments in the field of medicine - ozonation of blood. Another novelty of doctors is a special hyperbaric chamber. Such measures help restore the pressure to indicators close to normative ones. Positive effect on immunity.

Who should be especially careful?

The risk of myocardial infarction is highest if a person belongs to a risk group. To those rank:

• Patients with diabetes;
• Smokers;
• Having excess weight;
• Suffering from increased pressure.

The highest probability of a heart attack in those who are naturally inherent in a high level of blood pressure. In the event that a person often observes pressure surges, he should be observed regularly by a doctor. Normally the indicator varies around 120 mm Hg. Art. With a slight deviation from this value. With increasing magnitude, the chances of damaging the walls of blood vessels of the circulatory system are high. In addition, faster accumulation of plaque.

But those who suffer from excess weight lovers of fatty foods are at risk because of the abundance of cholesterol in the blood. This substance provokes a heart attack. As doctors say, in order to avoid the disease, it is necessary to abandon all food in which cholesterol is present in large quantities. A correct, balanced diet can improve blood quality after a few weeks.
