Features of the diagnosis of painless myocardial infarction (clinical case)

Mishkin I. A.

Despite the active introduction of programs for the prevention of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), this pathology still remains in first place in mortality in the world. In this connection, timely diagnosis of CVD symptoms is a priority. The most common disease in this group is myocardial infarction (MI). Approximately 0.14% of the world's population, or more than 9 million people, die each year. The presence of typical complaints characteristic of an acute attack of myocardial ischemia, in most cases, easily make it possible to make the correct diagnosis. However, not always typical clinical manifestations of IM comes to the fore. According to statistics, from 5 to 50 % of clinical cases of MI occurs in pain-free form. These atypical manifestations are a great danger for both cardiologists and general practitioners. Untimely diagnosis and treatment can lead to serious complications up to death. In this connection, it would be relevant to consider the main diagnostic signs of a painless myocardial infarction on a cynical example.
