What are the Types of Heart Attack
                     Types of Heart 
Attack
About Types of Heart Attack 
Heart attacks, also known as myocardial 
infarctions, can occur in different forms and 
severity. Here are some types of heart attack:
• STEMI Myocardial 
Infarction
• NSTEMI Myocardial 
Infraction
• Unstable Angina
• Acute Coronary Spasm
STEMI Myocardial Infraction
• STEMI myocardial infarction, a severe type of heart attack, 
necessitates immediate medical intervention to restore 
blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Treatment primarily involves a combination of medications 
and procedures. Initially, patients receive aspirin to prevent 
further clotting. 
• Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for 
improving outcomes in STEMI cases.
SYMPTOMS
Vomiting : Some people may 
experience nausea, vomiting, or a 
feeling of indigestion.
Chest Pain : The most common 
symptom is a crushing or 
squeezing chest pain
Dizziness: The most common 
symptom is a crushing or squeezing 
chest pain
Sweating : Profuse sweating, can 
be a symptom of STEMI.
TEST
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The initial diagnostic test for STEMI 
is an ECG. It helps identify the 
characteristic ST-segment 
elevation, indicating myocardial 
ischemia or injury. 
TREATMENT
Percutaneous coronary intervention 
(PCI):
• Also known as angioplasty with stent placement, PCI involves threading a 
catheter with a balloon on its tip to the blocked artery.
Thrombolytic therapy
• This involves administering clot-dissolving medications to help break down 
the blood clot causing the blockage in the artery. 
• Advanced Medical Group provides comprehensive cardiac care by  
cardiologist specialist, offering personalized treatment for improved heart 
health.
NSTEMI Myocardial Infraction
• NSTEMI treatment typically involves medication, cardiac 
monitoring, and possibly invasive procedures like 
angiography. 
• Cardiac monitoring allows healthcare providers to assess 
the patient's condition and response to treatment. 
• The goal is to stabilize the patient, relieve symptoms, and 
prevent complications associated with myocardial infarction.
SYMPTOMS
Chest Discomfort : This may feel 
like pressure, tightness, squeezing, 
or aching in the chest.
Nausea or vomiting : Some people 
may experience nausea, vomiting, 
or a feeling of indigestion.
Pain : This can include discomfort in 
the arms, back, neck, jaw, or 
stomach.

TREATMENT
Percutaneous coronary intervention 
(PCI):
• Also known as angioplasty with stent placement, PCI involves threading a 
catheter with a balloon on its tip to the blocked artery.
Coronary angiography
• This procedure involves inserting a catheter into the arteries of the heart to 
visualize any blockages. 
• Advanced Medical Group offers individualized treatment for better heart 
health, along with complete cardiac care from skilled cardiologists.
Acute Coronary Spasm
• Acute coronary spasm, also known as variant angina or 
Prinzmetal's angina, involves sudden, leading to reduced 
blood flow to the heart muscle. 
• This can result in chest pain or discomfort (angina) similar 
to that of a heart attack.
• Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, managing stress, 
emotional stress can also help reduce the frequency and 
severity of spasms.
SYMPTOMS
Chest Discomfort
This may feel like pressure, tightness, 
squeezing, or aching in the chest.
Nausea or vomiting
Some people may experience nausea, 
vomiting, or a feeling of indigestion.
Palpitations
A sensation of rapid, fluttering may occur 
during an acute coronary spasm episode.
TEST
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The initial diagnostic test for STEMI 
is an ECG. It helps identify the 
characteristic ST-segment 
elevation, indicating myocardial 
ischemia or injury. 
TREATMENT
Medications
• To relieve symptoms and prevent future spasms. Calcium channel blockers 
like nifedipine and diltiazem are commonly used to relax blood vessels.
Coronary angiography
• Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and stress management are 
also recommended. 
• Advanced Medical Group, a leading medical clinic, provides comprehensive 
cardiac care by experienced cardiologists, offering personalized treatment 
for improved heart health.
