Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the early postpartum period is rare but may be associated with poor maternal outcome. We report an inferior AMI in 30-year-old woman with mitral valve replacement during early postpartum period successfully treated with tirofiban. For a patient that has got AMI due to massive thrombus and that is not suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention and has got contraindication to thrombolytic therapy, glikoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitor (tirofiban) infusion must be kept in mind.

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...
