Unrecognised myocardial infarction often presents with atypical symptoms such as breathlessness and sweating, particularly in women and diabetics, and carries a significant risk of in-hospital mortality.
Atypical and silent myocardial infarctions were grouped together as unrecognised myocardial infarction. The prognosis for patients with unrecognised myocardial infarction is as serious as that of recognised myocardial infarction. It is difficult to choose methods by which to identify these patients and to take decisions about secondary prevention and medical treatment. Detailed knowledge about this disease entity is therefore important and must include a thorough understanding of which patient subgroups are especially vulnerable.
Evuru et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Unrecognised Myocardial Infarction (n=22). Observation of clinical profile was evaluated on Frequency of atypical presenting symptoms. Among 22 patients with unrecognized myocardial infarction presenting without chest pain, the most frequent atypical symptoms were breathlessness (50%), sweating (45.5%), and abdominal pain (36.4%).
