Doctors at Duc Giang General Hospital (Hanoi) have just successfully treated Mr. Pham Luong Ng, born in 1982 with an early diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The patient went to the hospital on her own with severe left chest pain, spread on her arm, accompanied by sweating and difficulty breathing. Notably, the patient has a history of regular smoking (2 packs/day).
According to Dr. Nguyen Manh Thang - Head of the Department of Cardiology, Duc Giang General Hospital, the patient arrived at the hospital very promptly when dangerous signs of coronary artery disease appeared.
At the Emergency Department, doctors determined that the patient had an ST myocardial infarction at first aid in time and activated the emergency emergency procedure. Even though the patient did not have relatives to accompany him, did not have time to deposit a deposit and did not have a Health Insurance card, the intervention team still decided to ask for the opinion of the Board of Directors and undertake the procedure immediately after receiving the consent from the family via phone.
Just 30 minutes after admission, the patient underwent a scan and had a skin-on-ring intervention, and was found to have a thrombosis that completely clogged the aorta in the frontal wall. The intervention team sucked the blood clot, ordered and placed 3 stents, promptly re-opened the blood flow. During the procedure, the patient had multiple arrhythmia and low blood pressure, but was treated promptly. After 5 days of treatment, the patient was stable and discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Nguyen Manh Thang recommends: Acute myocardial infarction is trending younger. Go to medical facilities as soon as you have signs of chest pain, shortness of breath and absolutely quit smoking and tobacco to prevent the disease".
