INTRODUCTION
Advocating the promotion of life
through healthy lifestyle has
come to it’s decisive moment of
becoming inevitable to best
respond to the striking and
alarming incidence of
cardiovascular disease,
specifically myocardial
infarction.
Indeed, it is a matter of
choice. Besides, this
will guide us in the
glory that will
compensate us or else
suffer the burden of the
consequence. There is
no such thing as free
item.
One is given to you
because one is taken from
the other. One cannot be
superior over the other.
One should compromise to
accommodate the need of
the other. This is what set
thing straight – the balance
of nature is the key to
harmony.
Globally, it is anticipated
that both morbidity and
mortality rates from
heart disease will double
between 1990 and 2020.
The demand for care is highly increasing
although out the world and so, we as future
nurses must respond to the challenges of a
changing world. How can we respond in an
appropriate and useful way? Upon thinking
about the solutions to our pressing
problems and concerns, the realization of
conducting a study, even though some may
find it just an addition to our pile of burdens
as students, seemed to be the best way
after all. For we, are the hope of the future
generations.
We live in a period where knowledge
equals power. If we don’t conform
and go with the flow, we might just
get left behind. In line with this, we
choose our client Ireneo Sarad, 48
years old of ICU Complex cubicle 21
with the diagnosis of Myocardial
infarction. The case succumb for our
better understanding of the disease
process. It is a sort of application of
theories in to real life practice
As we go along the
processs, Myocardial
infarction (MI) or acute
myocardial infarction (AMI),
commonly known as a heart
attack, is the interruption of
blood supply to part of the
heart, causing heart cells to
die.
As a matter of fact, the
prevalence of heart attack
according to WHO for May
2009 - 2010, 7.5 million
people suffers Myocardial
infarction worldwide annually.
12 460 cases of MI are
recorded last 2009 here in the
Philippines. Davao Region
recorded cases on Myocardial
infarction runs up to 1206
(29.8%) as of 2009.
This educational manuscript
can be of great help to the
nursing education since it will
pave way to provide further
information of the disease
process, its treatment and
prevention.
To the nursing practice on the
other hand, this may help the
health team on the apt
assessment, diagnosis as
well relevant and well-timed
interventions.
This may also be of great
inspiration on the nursing
research as a basis of their
future studies and
experiments.
With this case study, we hope
that we can improve the health
care system in our own little and
hone us in becoming a holistic
angel in the sickroom as
equipped with competent
knowledge, exemplary skill and
exceptional attitude – a start of
something new that will
absolutely enrich the humanity
