Radiation of pain to ulner aspect of left arm, neck, jaw and Interscapular region.
Clinical Manifestations Contd….
Indigestion Nausea Vomiting Diaphoresis Palpitations Dyspnea
Nursing Assessment in Emergency Room History Taking. Physical Examination Vital parameters 12 lead ECG monitoring. Measure oxygen saturation. Obtain initial serum cardiac markers.
Inferior wall MI: right coronary artery
lead II, III & AVF Lateral wall MI : Lt circumflex artery
lead I, AVL, V5 & V6 Anterior MI : Lt anterior descending
lead V1 to V6 Posterior Wall MI:Rt coronary artery
Immediate General Management Oxygen at 4 l/min. Aspirin 160-325mg. Nitroglycerine SL or spray. Morphine IV

Nursing management Plan
Chest discomfort R/T imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand
