Red Net Moment News July 1 News (Correspondent) June 22, 2022, is a thrilling day for the family of 77-year-old Grandpa Xu, and for the team of the Chest Pain Center of Hunan Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital It is a daily battle for life with death.

In the afternoon of that day, there was a rapid ringing of the phone. The emergency department received a call for help from the family of a patient with acute chest pain, and a life-and-death time race began. In critical moments, every second counts! 17:30 Grandpa Xu was sent to the emergency department of our hospital by his family for chest pain and cold sweat for half an hour. The emergency nurse immediately opened the emergency green channel according to the acute chest pain procedure. Grandpa Xu was immediately sent to the emergency room for diagnosis and treatment. Tan Yongqiang of the emergency department The attending physician inquired about the medical history and completed the electrocardiogram. The electrocardiogram showed acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. He immediately prescribed "a pack of myocardial infarction medicine" for antithrombotic treatment and invited deputy chief physician Zhou Yongzhi from the Department of Cardiology for emergency consultation, taking into account the characteristics of Grandpa Xu's illness. And electrocardiogram performance, considering acute occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, there is a risk of concurrent malignant arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest and sudden death at any time, and the condition is very dangerous.

The family members waiting outside the emergency room were extremely anxious when they learned that Grandpa Xu had acute myocardial infarction. For Grandpa Xu, the fastest and most effective way is to perform emergency coronary intervention as soon as possible. After informing Grandpa Xu’s family about the relevant condition and treatment methods, Grandpa Xu’s family expressed their full trust in our hospital and agreed to the emergency coronary intervention surgery. At 17:54, Grandpa Xu was quickly transferred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Deputy Zhou Yongzhi and Xia Xiaopeng The chief physician performed a coronary interventional surgery for Grandpa Xu. The improved coronary angiography confirmed the complete occlusion of the middle segment of the anterior descending artery. At 18:09, the guidewire passed through the occluded lesion, and after balloon dilation and stent implantation, Grandpa Xu's blocked blood vessels were unblocked and normal blood flow was restored. The operation ended at 18:25.

The time from the gate of our hospital to when the guide wire passed through the lesion (D-W) for Grandpa Xu was only 39 minutes, which was far lower than the 90 minutes D-W time required by the international myocardial infarction guidelines. After careful follow-up treatment by the cardiac critical care team, Grandpa Xu is currently recovering well and his condition is stable.

"Time is myocardium, and time is life! Once acute myocardial infarction occurs, every second counts. Opening the infarction-related blood vessels within 12 hours of the onset of disease (within 120 minutes of golden treatment time) can effectively save the patient's life and reduce myocardial infarction-related complications. "," said Huang Lei, director of the emergency medical center.
