Review of Current Management of Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It arises from a sudden cessation of coronary blood flow, most often due to plaque rupture and subsequent thrombus formation. Over the years, significant advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of MI have transformed patient outcomes. This review explores the current approaches to the management of myocardial infarction, highlighting evidence-based practices, recent advancements, and ongoing challenges in optimising care across various healthcare settings.
