Why will you not give morphine in inferior wall myocardial infarction?

Morphine decreases pre-load and after-load and because the Inferior wall is effected the right ventricle is effected. If you do not have enough blood entering the right ventricle when the area is necrotic to begin with you will not be pumping enough blood to perfuse sufficiently. In addition the decreased after-load in in conjunction with the decreased blood pressure caused by the failure of the right ventricle there will not be enough "back-flow" in the cardiac vascular system. In summation if can cause bottoming out of a patient's blood pressure and further cardiac hypo-perfusion. In some cases it has been shown to work if a normal saline or ringers lactate bolus is infused prior to morphine administration.

What are the drugs used in myocardial infarction?
glycerate nitrate is given as soon as some one suffers from a myocardial infarction. it is give via buccal route so can be absorbed quickly and show its affect. ---- In a myocardial infarction, demand for oxygen and other substrates in a particular part of the myocardium is greater than the supply. Most often, this is caused by thrombosis in an epicardial artery, resulting in ischemia (cell injury) and, later, infarction (cell death). Infarction does not happen immediately, however, so if one gets treated in time, myocardium may be saved. There are several classes of medication that are given to people having myocardial infarctions. The first of these include oxygen, aspirin, and nitroglycerin. Heparin and Plavix are other medications that may be given immediately. Many centers have cardiac catheterization suites and those listed above may be some of the only medications given to the patient while they are having the infarction. Thrombectomy and stenting performed in the "cath lab," effectively aborting the infarction. If a "cath lab" is not available at the hospital, or within a reasonable period of time by transfer, the patient may be eligible for thrombolytics, which are medications given to help dissolve clots. There are several of these, the most common is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA). These medications are given by IV drip and selectively break up clots in the body. They are not specific for clots only in the heart, however, and there is significant risk of bleeding during and for a period of time after receiving these medications. Patient selection is very strict, including past history and the amount of time the patient has been experiencing the symptoms of the myocardial infarction. If r-tPA is used, it is usually followed by a heparin infusion to help prevent re-clotting in the injured vessel.

How is diamorphine stronger than morphine sulphate?
Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.
