Myocardial infarction, also called a heart attack, is a frequent nursing exam and NCLEX topic that requires understanding of its pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and treatments.

This video covers the risk factors for MI like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and family history that can lead to atherosclerosis and blocked coronary arteries. Key signs and symptoms of an MI include chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, and left arm or jaw pain that require immediate medical attention. Managing an MI involves oxygen, nitroglycerin, morphine, aspirin and potential interventions like thrombolytic therapy, cardiac catheterization or CABG surgery. Reviewing the major characteristics of an acute MI including ECG changes, cardiac enzyme levels, and patient teaching will prepare you for MI questions on nursing exams and the NCLEX.

Chest stiffness, deep burning sensation and sharp pains which may last 20 seconds...this is what I experienced and doctors didn't take me seriously because I was 56. Ended up double bypass heart surgery. Listen to your body only you knows it!

Hi mike, I was able to pass my NCLEX exam last August and I just want to thank you because all of your videos helped me a lot during my review. Mabuhay ka!

[gretchenpalacio]

Very useful especially for visual learners. I liked the simple nursing app way better than kaplan. I just get bored and sleepy most of the time. This app is under rated..this should be always included for nclex test takers. Thank God for this brilliant Mike. 👌👌👌
Just really appreciate his work so i wanna post these comment on his videos. 😅

Pay attention to the heartburn/epigastric issues. Had a pt in the ER complain of heartburn and we grabbed an ekg just because. STEMI, almost immediate heparin drip, and real quick trip to the cath lab. Zero mention of chest pain or difficulty breathing. Only complaint at all was unrelieved epigastric pain.

Don't purchase any membership. Totally not worth the money. I did and regret it. Stick to the free videos for supplemental information. I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions. ATI, Klimek material, and the free simple nursing videos or other videos on YouTube was how I did it. Good luck! Don't let companies take advantage of you during a most stressful time.

[fairodstamomo]

Your video is the reason why I passed the board exam, and I am proud to my self because I am already registered nurse now. Thank you so much🤍
