Etiology and prescription errors of myocardial infarction in different health care systems of Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan
Abstract
A heart attack (MI) occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked, usually by blood clots, damaging the heart muscle. Common symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, swelling, fatigue, and cyanosis. Risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis increase MI likelihood. Early detection relies on ECG, troponin tests, and imaging, while treatment includes blood thinners, thrombolytics, and statins. Despite medical advancements, MI remains a major cause of illness and death in Azad Kashmir. Challenges include a high prevalence of risk factors, inconsistent healthcare, and frequent prescription errors. A study of 100 MI prescriptions found missing treatment frequency (31.25%) and missing doses (25%) as common errors. Drug interactions were significant, with pharmacodynamic interactions (36.84%) being the most frequent. Addressing healthcare inconsistencies and improving professional training can enhance MI care. The study provides crucial insights for public health planning in resource-limited settings like AJK.
