MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION W/ ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION
Myocardial infarction is death of cardiac myocytes (necrosis) caused by prolonged ischemia. The term acute "usually" refers to the time 6 hours to 7 days following pathologic appearance of the infarct.
The patient may experience ischemic-type chest discomfort with accompanying symptoms of nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, diaphoresis, lightheadedness, dizziness, syncope, fatigue and weakness.
Rapid diagnosis and risk stratification of chest pain in patients are important to identify acute myocardial infarction patients who will benefit from reperfusion therapy.

Probiotics also good for the waistline
Pearl Toh, 09 Oct 2018
Not only are probiotics healthy for the gut, they may also be good for the waistline.
