An “infarction” is when a some or all of an organ’s cells die due to lack of blood flow caused when the artery that irrigates it is blocked or narrows.
After the acute phase of myocardial infarction, when the patient is discharged, the main objective is to carry out secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk factors, reduce the workload of the heart and promote guidelines for healthy living.
Adopting heart-healthy habits, such as quitting smoking and exercising, is an essential measure in the treatment of coronary artery disease. Physical activity must always be done gradually under medical supervision. Another recommended dietary habit is to prepare foods in small quantities, divided into at least five different meals throughout the day (breakfast, mid/morning, lunch, evening snack, dinner). This helps lessen the cardiac output needed to metabolise food.
