Myocardial infarction refers to the severe and prolonged acute ischemia of the corresponding myocardium due to the interruption of blood supply in the coronary artery on the basis of coronary artery disease, ultimately leading to ischemic necrosis of the myocardium. Patients with acute myocardial infarction often have persistent severe pain behind the sternum, fever, increased white blood cell count, increased serum myocardial enzymes, and a series of characteristic changes in the electrocardiogram reflecting acute myocardial injury, ischemia, and necrosis.
