The nurse will ask the patient about chest pain to evaluate the effectiveness of iv nitroglycerin for a patient with a myocardial infarction (MI).
<h3>What is myocardial infarction? </h3>
A restriction in the blood supply to the cardiac muscle.
A heart attack is an urgent medical situation.
A blood clot usually causes a heart attack by obstructing the heart's blood supply. Without blood, tissue dehydrates and deteriorates.
A tightness or soreness in the chest, neck, back, or arms, along with weariness, dizziness, an irregular heartbeat, and anxiety, are some symptoms.
Atypical symptoms are more common in women than in males.
Treatment options include everything from medication, stents, and bypass surgery to dietary adjustments and cardiac rehabilitation.
<h3>What is the main goal of iv nitroglycerin ?</h3>
Injections of nitroglycerin are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) during surgery or to manage congestive heart failure in heart attack victims.
During surgery, hypotension (low blood pressure) may also be induced using this method.
