Acute Myocardial Infarction Without Chest Pain A Life-Threatening Variant?

[摘要] Acute myocardial infarction (MI) manifests in various forms and types, each having different clinical implications for a patient’s prognosis, medical management, and nursing care. All critical care nurses are familiar with the need to distinguish between acute versus prior/old MIs, anterior versus inferior wall MIs, ST-segment elevation MIs (STEMI) versus non-STEMIs, transmural versus nontransmural MIs, and the like. A recent study1 published in JAMA suggests that it may be time to add yet another categorical fork in the MI lexicon to distinguish patients who present with or without chest pain.
