, ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION 2

The Epidemiology of Acute Myocardial Infarction

According to Mechanic and Grossman (2020), there are over three million people in the

world each year that are dying from a very serious disease of Acute Myocardial Infarction (Acute

MI) also commonly known as a Heart Attack, in which more than over one million of that

number of deaths are in the United States. An Acute Myocardial Infarction is a blockage or clot

that is preventing blood to flow to the heart which will cause tissue damage to the coronary

arteries. Your coronary arteries are vessels that circulate oxygenated blood to your heart and by

having blocked arteries could lead to multiple heart attacks and or even death. There are many

risks factors that lead to an Acute MI, like stress, overweight/obesity, high blood pressure, family

history of heart attacks, and or tobacco use (there are many more risk factors, these are just the

more common causes). Most Acute MI’s are developed in elder aged individuals and most deaths

are commonly seen in women than in men, but the signs in both genders vary in symptoms. In

men, you will see that they feel the pain more in their chest (tightness) and in women, it is more

common that they develop nausea along with the sensation of heartburn or indigestion.

Depending on the severity and how quick the response is to someone who is experiencing Acute

Myocardial Infarction could possibly save one’s life.

Etiology and Risk Factors of Acute MI

When it comes to the conditions of what causes an Acute Myocardial Infarction there are

many risk factors, the most common one’s are individuals that have high blood pressure, high

levels of stress, family history of heart attacks, overweight/obese, and or consistent amounts of

tobacco use. A lot of the risk factors have common contributions like atherosclerosis. For

example, high blood pressure, family history of heart attacks, and or obesity all consist of having

high cholesterol, which is build-ups of fatty deposits that can cause blockages in the arteries
