• #1 Myocardial ischemia – Symptoms & causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myocardial-ischemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20375417

  Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing the heart muscle from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart’s arteries (coronary arteries). […] Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, reduces the heart muscle’s ability to pump blood. A sudden, severe blockage of one of the heart’s artery can lead to a heart attack. Myocardial ischemia might also cause serious abnormal heart rhythms. […] Some people who have myocardial ischemia don’t have any signs or symptoms (silent ischemia). […] When they do occur, the most common is chest pressure or pain, typically on the left side of the body (angina pectoris). Other signs and symptoms which might be experienced more commonly by women, older people and people with diabetes include: Neck or jaw pain, Shoulder or arm pain, A fast heartbeat, Shortness of breath when you are physically active, Nausea and vomiting, Sweating, Fatigue.

  Myocardial ischemia makes it difficult to exercise, especially in the cold. As your condition gets worse, you can have symptoms of myocardial ischemia with less and less activity. In time, it can be hard to go up a flight of stairs. Eventually, you can even have symptoms when you’re at rest. […] The most common symptom of myocardial ischemia is angina (also called angina pectoris). This is chest pain (similar to indigestion or heartburn) that feels like: Chest discomfort. Heaviness. Tightness. Pressure. Aching. Burning. Numbness. Fullness. Squeezing. […] Other myocardial ischemia symptoms can also include: Pain or discomfort in your upper body, including your arms, left shoulder, back, neck, jaw or stomach. Trouble breathing or feeling short of breath. Sweating or „cold sweat.” Feeling full, indigestion, or a choking feeling (may feel like heartburn). Nausea or vomiting. Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, very weak or anxious. Fast or irregular heartbeat. […] It’s possible to have ischemia or even a heart attack and not have any warning signs. This is called silent myocardial ischemia. This is most common in people with diabetes, but it can happen to anyone with heart disease. […] Angina from myocardial ischemia lasts 10 minutes or less in most cases.

• #14 Silent Myocardial Ischemia – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK536915/

  Silent myocardial ischemia is a condition of reduced oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart that occurs without chest discomfort or other symptoms of ischemic heart disease, such as dyspnea, nausea, and diaphoresis. However, diagnostic studies are often abnormal. ST-segment changes may be evident on electrocardiography. Echocardiography may show regional wall motion abnormalities. Scintigraphy may reveal perfusion defects. […] The presence of silent ischemia is a strong mortality predictor. About 70% to 80% of transient ischemic episodes lack anginal chest symptoms (silent ischemia). Lack of pain in silent myocardial ischemia increases morbidity and mortality since patients do not seek medical treatment in a timely fashion. […] Silent myocardial ischemia typically arises due to coronary arterial obstruction, hindering adequate blood flow to the myocardium without producing noticeable symptoms. Understanding the intricate relationship between the anatomy of the heart and coronary arteries and myocardial function is crucial in evaluating and determining treatment strategies for patients with silent myocardial ischemia.

  Silent myocardial ischemia or infarction, or silent myocardial infarction (MI), is characterized by a reduction in blood flow to the heart that doesn’t manifest clinically with chest pain/discomfort or other symptoms of angina, dyspnea, nausea, or diaphoresis. Silent MI is commonly undetected in patients who have chronic symptoms of coronary disease, according to an article in the European Heart Journal Supplements (EHJS). Indeed, it is estimated that 70% to 80% of transient ischemic episodes aren’t symptomatic. […] Silent ischemia is particularly prevalent among patients with diabetes or obstructive sleep apnea, among geriatric patients who have just undergone surgery, and among critically ill patients in the ICU who are admitted for noncardiac reasons. It’s also been shown to be more common in men than in women, although women are more likely to have acute coronary syndromes without clinical symptoms and less likely to present with significant changes on ECG.

  Symptoms of NSTEMI and STEMI are the same. Days to weeks before the event, about two thirds of patients experience prodromal symptoms, including unstable or crescendo angina, dyspnea, and fatigue. […] Usually, the first symptom of infarction is deep, substernal, visceral pain, described as aching or pressure, often radiating to the back, jaw, left arm, right arm, shoulders, or all of these areas. The pain is similar to angina pectoris but is usually more severe and long-lasting; more often accompanied by dyspnea, diaphoresis, nausea, and/or vomiting; and relieved little or only temporarily by rest or nitroglycerin. […] However, discomfort may be mild; approximately 20% of acute MIs are silent. Silent MIs are those that are asymptomatic or are causing vague symptoms that are not recognized as illness by the patient. Silent MIs more commonly occur in patients with diabetes or a history of known coronary artery disease.

  Myocardial ischemia makes it difficult to exercise, especially in the cold. As your condition gets worse, you can have symptoms of myocardial ischemia with less and less activity. In time, it can be hard to go up a flight of stairs. Eventually, you can even have symptoms when you’re at rest. […] The most common symptom of myocardial ischemia is angina (also called angina pectoris). This is chest pain (similar to indigestion or heartburn) that feels like: Chest discomfort. Heaviness. Tightness. Pressure. Aching. Burning. Numbness. Fullness. Squeezing. […] Other myocardial ischemia symptoms can also include: Pain or discomfort in your upper body, including your arms, left shoulder, back, neck, jaw or stomach. Trouble breathing or feeling short of breath. Sweating or „cold sweat.” Feeling full, indigestion, or a choking feeling (may feel like heartburn). Nausea or vomiting. Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, very weak or anxious. Fast or irregular heartbeat. […] It’s possible to have ischemia or even a heart attack and not have any warning signs. This is called silent myocardial ischemia. This is most common in people with diabetes, but it can happen to anyone with heart disease.

  Myocardial ischemia is a common heart condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to inadequate oxygen supply. This ischemic imbalance can result in chest pain, discomfort, and potentially life-threatening complications such as heart attack. Understanding the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for myocardial ischemia is crucial for early intervention and prevention of adverse outcomes. […] The symptoms of myocardial ischemia can vary depending on the severity and duration of blood flow restriction. Common symptoms may include: Angina: Chest pain or discomfort is the hallmark symptom of myocardial ischemia. It may feel like pressure, tightness, squeezing, or a heavy sensation in the chest. The pain may radiate to the arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, or back.

• #35 Coronary artery disease – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

  Myocardial ischemia can cause stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial infarction. […] A common symptom is angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. […] Shortness of breath may also occur and sometimes no symptoms are present. […] In many cases, the first sign is a heart attack. […] Angina that changes in intensity, character, or frequency is termed unstable. Unstable angina may precede myocardial infarction. […] With advanced disease, the narrowing of coronary arteries reduces the supply of oxygen-rich blood flowing to the heart, which becomes more pronounced during strenuous activities during which the heart beats faster and has an increased oxygen demand. […] For some, this causes severe symptoms, while others experience no symptoms at all. […] The resultant reduction in the heart’s blood supply due to atherosclerosis in coronary arteries causes shortness of breath, angina pectoris (chest pains that are usually relieved by rest), and potentially fatal heart attacks (myocardial infarctions).

  Angina is the classic symptom of cardiac ischemia. Patients most often describe it as diffuse chest pain or pressure that may radiate to the neck, arms, or back and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or diaphoresis (sweating). […] Patients with unstable angina experience the same type of symptoms as those with stable angina, but they can occur with much less or even no exertion and are typically more severe and last longer. Many of these patients will have a history of stable angina, and a change in their typical pattern of symptoms is what marks it as unstable. […] Myocardial infarctions occur in two basic varieties. If blood flow through a coronary artery is totally occluded, the result can be what we call an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or STEMI.

  Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary atherosclerosis, involves the progressive narrowing of the arteries that nourish the heart muscle. Often there are no symptoms, but if one or more of these arteries become severely narrowed, angina (chest pain) may develop during exercise, stress, or other times when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. […] If the heart muscle cannot get enough oxygen—a state known as myocardial ischemia—symptoms such as chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath may result. […] An exercise test also detects silent ischemia, a condition with no symptoms in which heart muscle does not get enough blood.

• #38 Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): Signs, Causes, Treatment

  https://www.medicinenet.com/heart_attack/article.htm

  When the surface of a cholesterol plaque in a coronary artery ruptures, a blood clot may form on its surface, completely blocking the flow of blood in the artery beyond the clot. The lack of oxygen immediately causes the affected heart muscle tissue to suffer (myocardial ischemia), become irritable, and have difficulty contracting. If the situation is not reversed quickly, heart muscle will begin to die. […] The lack of blood flow leads to ischemia, a condition where heart muscle cells are deprived of oxygen. Ischemia causes the cells to become damaged and can lead to their death if the blood flow is not restored quickly.

  If coronary flow is restored within that period, all ischemic myocardium will recover (after a brief period of contractile dysfunction [called stunned myocardium]). If coronary flow is not restored, infarction will commence and the necrosis will spread like a wavefront in water, starting in the most ischemic area, which is the subendocardium. […] The time it takes for all ischemic myocardium to become infarcted is of great interest. In the literature it is traditionally suggested that the infarction is completed within 4 to 6 hours but this is questioned by newer studies which suggest longer durations. Recent studies actually suggest that the infarction may be completed anywhere between 2 to 12 hours after onset of symptoms.

[…] Women are less likely than men to call for help quickly when experiencing signs of a heart attack. It is very important to get medical help very urgently, to reduce the chances of permanent damage to the heart muscle. […] This often depends on the amount of heart muscle that is damaged. In many cases, only a small part of the heart muscle is damaged and then heals as a small patch of scar tissue. The heart can usually function normally with a small patch of scar tissue. A larger heart attack is more likely to be life-threatening or cause complications. […] Even before treatments became available to restore blood flow, many people made a full recovery.

  Silent myocardial ischemia or infarction, or silent myocardial infarction (MI), is characterized by a reduction in blood flow to the heart that doesn’t manifest clinically with chest pain/discomfort or other symptoms of angina, dyspnea, nausea, or diaphoresis. Silent MI is commonly undetected in patients who have chronic symptoms of coronary disease, according to an article in the European Heart Journal Supplements (EHJS). Indeed, it is estimated that 70% to 80% of transient ischemic episodes aren’t symptomatic. […] Silent ischemia is particularly prevalent among patients with diabetes or obstructive sleep apnea, among geriatric patients who have just undergone surgery, and among critically ill patients in the ICU who are admitted for noncardiac reasons. It’s also been shown to be more common in men than in women, although women are more likely to have acute coronary syndromes without clinical symptoms and less likely to present with significant changes on ECG.

  In fact, research has shown even silent ischemia is associated with worse clinical outcomes over the long term, both in patients with no history of coronary disease and in those with established heart disease, according to the EHJS authors. […] More recently, another study linked silent MI defined by ECG to the development of heart failure over a median follow-up of 13 years, with a stronger association in individuals younger than 53. […] Overall, however, there is limited data evaluating how effective coronary revascularization is for the treatment of silent ischemia. […] That means quitting tobacco; managing traditional risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia; exercising regularly; maintaining a healthy weight; eating well; reducing stress; checking in with a doctor regularly; and screening ECGs at annual check-ups. Some drug therapies might include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, statins, aspirin, and ranolazine, with oxygen treatment used in some cases.
