STEMIST elevation myocardial infarction stands for ST elevation myocardial infarctionDamage to a region of the heart muscle due to blockage of blood vessel supplying oxygenated blood and is often due to a fresh clot in a major coronary arteryBlood vessel carrying oxygenated blood to the organsblood vessel supplying oxygenated blood to the heart producing total occlusion. NSTEMInon ST elevation myocardial infarction stand for non ST elevation myocardial infarctionDamage to a region of the heart muscle due to blockage of blood vessel supplying oxygenated blood and it is often due to a plateleta type of blood cell which helps in the formation of blood clots plug producing incomplete obstruction of a coronary arteryBlood vessel carrying oxygenated blood to the organsblood vessel supplying oxygenated blood to the heart. STEMIST elevation myocardial infarction can be treated by clot dissolving agents known as thrombolyticclot dissolving therapy while this treatment is not used for NSTEMInon ST elevation myocardial infarction. Removing the clot initially by angioplastyRemoval of blocks in a blood vessel with a balloon catheter or another device known as primary angioplastyRemoval of blocks in a blood vessel with a balloon catheter or another deviceangioplastyRemoval of blocks in a blood vessel with a balloon catheter or another device done as the initial treatment for a heart attack, before giving clot busting drugs is the treatment of choice for STEMIST elevation myocardial infarction which is detected and reaches hospital with the facility early. AngioplastyRemoval of blocks in a blood vessel with a balloon catheter or another device is also suitable for NSTEMInon ST elevation myocardial infarction if there is a significant coronary obstruction. Both STEMIST elevation myocardial infarction and NSTEMInon ST elevation myocardial infarction need medication to prevent formation of fresh clots and fat deposition within the arteries.
