@qlexnursing: A Myocardial Infarction (MI)—commonly called a heart attack—happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, causing tissue death due to lack of oxygen. 🚫 This is often the result of a clot in a narrowed coronary artery, linked to risk factors like hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol. ⚠️ Warning signs: crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, and a sense of doom. 🩺 Immediate care includes MONA (Morphine, Oxygen, Nitroglycerin, Aspirin) and advanced interventions like PCI. Time is muscle—early action saves lives. #cardio #medsurg #rn #nclexreview #qlexnursing
