hiMy mother was having a severe pain in hand and she went to the docto and he took her ecg and referred her to a cardiac hospital. she was immediately admitted and given an injection and asked to wait for 12 hours. will she be ok? or what can be the next step?
Hello, Most probably she had an acute heart attack. Timely diagnosis by the doctors, she must have been able to reach the hospital with en 6 hours, so a clot bursting injection would have been given. This would reestablish the flow to the blocked artery preventing major attack. The first 24 hours are important to watch for complications. Considering she was given the right treatment, she should do well. Maybe later they may do an angiography to look for the blockages and treat them if required. Regards
