          Abstract

          A promising scientific field is health monitoring and associated technology. A standard testing method to evaluate and identify heart issues is the electrocardiogram (E.C.G.) and diagnose cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). E.C.G. monitoring technologies are becoming more and more prevalent in publications at an exponential rate. E.C.G. is the most crucial tool for screening cardiology and other medical specialities. Twelve leads can be recorded by traditional E.C.G. equipment, while current E.C.G. systems allow for extra leads also with fewer electrodes. Furthermore, “smart” gadgets allow patients to take an E.C.G. at residence. Presenting different ischemia-related symptoms on the E.C.G. by the most recent recommendations. Presentation of contemporary E.C.G. systems and their possible benefit in identifying ischemia-related E.C.G. symptoms based on recent study findings. The identification of ischemia E.C.G. abnormalities can be facilitated and optimised by current E.C.G. systems using vector-based electrocardiography. Although they can be effective for documenting transient E.C.G. abnormalities, especially inside the S.T. segment, smart non-vector-based devices for patients are primarily beneficial for the diagnosis of arrhythmias and cannot substitute the 12-lead E.C.G. for the diagnosis of ischemia. The electrocardiogram (E.C.G.) is inexpensive and easily accessible, but because of its alleged limited specificity, its utility as a screening tool for early detection of athletes with a cardiac condition in danger of immediate cardiac death is contentious. The interpreting parameters have been continuously evolving over the past 10 years as various efforts have been made to better the separation between healthy and pathological E.C.G. abnormalities in athletes. Electrocardiographic abnormalities that are unrelated to cardiac electrical activity are known as electrocardiographic artefacts. E.C.G. elements, including the baseline and waves, can become altered as a result of artefacts.

          Myocardial Infarction: Symptoms and Treatments

          Myocardial infarction (MI) is a term used for an event of heart attack which is due to formation of plaques in the interior walls of the arteries resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart and injuring heart muscles because of lack of oxygen supply. The symptoms of MI include chest pain, which travels from left arm to neck, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, vomiting, abnormal heart beating, anxiety, fatigue, weakness, stress, depression, and other factors. The immediate treatment of MI include, taking aspirin, which prevents blood from clotting, and nitro-glycerin to treat chest pain and oxygen. The heart attack can be prevented by taking an earlier action to lower those risks by controlling diet, fat, cholesterol, salt, smoking, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, monitoring of blood pressure every week, doing exercise every day, and loosing body weight. The treatment of MI includes, aspirin tablets, and to dissolve arterial blockage injection of thrombolytic or clot dissolving drugs such as tissue plasminogen activator, streptokinase or urokinase in blood within 3 h of the onset of a heart attack. The painkillers such as morphine or meperidine can be administered to relieve pain. Nitroglycerin and antihypertensive drugs such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors or calcium channel blockers may also be used to lower blood pressure and to improve the oxygen demand of heart. The ECG, coronary angiography and X-ray of heart and blood vessels can be performed to observe the narrowing of coronary arteries. In this article the causes, symptoms and treatments of MI are described.

              Myocardial infarction in young adults.

              Although myocardial infarction (MI) mainly occurs in patients older than 45, young men or women can suffer MI. Fortunately, its incidence is not common in patients younger than 45 years. However, the disease carries a significant morbidity, psychological effects, and financial constraints for the person and the family when it occurs at a young age. The causes of MI among patients aged less than 45 can be divided into four groups: (1) atheromatous coronary artery disease; (2) non-atheromatous coronary artery disease; (2) hyper-coagulable states; (4) MI related to substance misuse. There is a considerable overlap between all the groups. This article reviews the literature and highlights the practical issues involved in the management of young adults with MI.
