Of Heart Attacks and EKG Machines (Part 6)
A Marquette MAC 5500 Workflow Solutions Product Review


As we are heading our way on the fifth installment of the Of Heart Attacks and EKG Machines article series, we will be discussing here now the known treatment and drugs to be used for a heart attack.

Once heart attack is diagnosed, treatment begins immediately — possibly in the ambulance or emergency room. Drugs and surgical procedures are used to treat a heart attack.

While the goals of drug therapy are to break up or prevent blood clots, prevent platelets from gathering and sticking to the plaque, stabilize the plaque, and prevent further ischemia.

These medications must be given as soon as possible (within one to two hours from the start of your heart attack) to decrease the amount of heart damage. The longer the delay in starting these drugs, the more damage can occur and the less benefit they can provide.

Drugs used during a heart attack may include an aspirin to prevent blood clotting that may worsen the heart attack, antiplatelets to prevent blood clotting, thrombolytic therapy ("clot busters") to dissolve any blood clots that are present in the heart's arteries, any combination of the above, and other drugs, given during or after a heart attack, lessen your heart's work, improve the functioning of the heart, widen or dilate your blood vessels, decrease your pain, and guard against any life-threatening heart rhythms.
