Non-st elevation myocardial infarction?
A non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a type of heart attack where the blood flow to the heart is partially blocked. It is considered a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment to prevent further heart damage. Treatment may include medications, such as antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants, or procedures like angioplasty to restore blood flow to the heart.
Is a myocardial infarction a stroke?
A myocardial infarction is a heart attack. It is caused when the cells of the muscle of the heart do not get enough oxygen and glucose, resulting in anaerobic metabolism and buildup of products of that metabolism, resulting in cellular acidosis, shutdown of cellular metabolism, and finally cell death and necrosis. In the overwhelming number of casea, this process results from the blockage of a coronary artery by a thrombus formed when a cholesterol plaque ruptures, causing a clot to form. It can be caused by several other things, however. Severe dehydration, severe hypotension, partial blockage of an artery by a large plaque that has not ruptured and other low flow states can result in not enough oxygen and glucose getting to the cells. Also, anything that increases the metabolic demands on the heart muscle can cause similar effects - sepsis with shock, toxins, drugs, and poisonings.
How do you treat a myocardial infarction?
It all depends on how quickly the patient is treated and how severe the occlusion is. Sometimes if it's just a clot, they can use throbolytic drugs to dissolve the clot. Other times they can do angioplasty with stent or bypass. Sometimes if damage is minimal they will do nothing.

What happens to your heart if you take drugs?
This question isn't detailed enough. Taking drugs in the correct dosages help you, and can even make your heart better if that's what they are being taken for. But some drugs, if abused, can increase, or decrease your heart rate, and could either put you into cardiac arrest, or make your heart stop all together. It also causes palpitation and increases the blood pressure causing the heart to pump more blood faster and faster. Eventually the heart will get tired and the person might suffer a stroke or a heart attack also known as myocardial infarction.

Why does Dr House use a cane?
I BELIEVE HE USES IT BECAUSE HE WAS SHOT BY ONE OF HIS PATIENTS AND HE GOT AN INFECTION. HE USES DRUGS BECAUSE IT RELIEVES THE PAIN FROM HIS LEG. ^^ Incorrect. He was shot, but that is another matter. He had an aneurism that clotted, and caused an infarction in his leg. This caused muscle death, && whole lotta pain, so he uses drugs to relieve the pain. He walks with a cane, because his leg still hurts despite the narcotics he takes.
