What To Do Immediately/Urgently to cope with a Heart Attack ? December 24,  2016  4:40am EST

You certainly were fortunate to have so many opportunities for excellent cardiac care and to have your caring family involved in your rehabilitation! I was glad for the immediate heparin treatment in August. and then a next day cardiac catherization with two stents in my right coronary artery also, I was surprised with more chest pains 18 days later. Back home after four admissions because of false positive cardiac enzyme tests because my cardiac muscle includes variant enzymes which test too vigorously with the handy dandy testing systems sold to hospital laboratories. The cardiology team in December looked at my really good heart performance on cardiograms, and sent blood samples to two other hospital laboratories to test with newer systems which showed my cardiac enaymes were in normal range. A continued diagnosis of cardiac spasms, aka angina, resulted in additional medications. Introduction of a new medication resulted in nausea, vomiting, and fainting while in the hospital, unexpectedly unattended. Fainting alone, I apparently fell to the floor. I woke wondering as I awoke where I was...on the hospital floor! My forehead felt sore. I got to the patient alarm just as a caring nurse ran into my room, signalled by a "blip" on my heart monitor screen in the patient monitor room. We all learned that my older digestion could not tolerate many medications given on an empty stomach early in the morning! I had to stay a few more days for observation limited to my bed unless a caregiver was helping me. Now at home, I feel fortunate to be alive and independent! Namaste'

Assalam o Alaikum... ALLAH aapko apne hifz o aman main rakhe.... I am totally agreed with you that Primary PCI is providing very good chance for survival in case of STEMI.
