Carrie
Nettie Pierce Cobb
Cause of
death from death certificate;
myocardial
infection
Arteirveleosis
myocardial
infection; Means degeneration of heart muscle, but is often used as a
euphemism for Old Age.
Myocardial;
Relating to the myocardium.
myocardial
infarction (MI): infarction of an segment of the heart muscle, usually
as a result of occlusion of a coronary artery. Syn: heart attack,
cardiac infarction
Myocardial
infarction is the most common cause of death in the U.S. About 800,000
people annually sustain first heart attacks, with a mortality rate of
30%, and 450,000 people sustain recurrent heart attacks, with a
mortality rate of 50%. The most common cause of MI is thrombosis of an
atherosclerotic coronary artery. Less common causes are coronary
artery anomalies, vasculitis, or spasm induced by cocaine, ergot
derivatives, or other agents. Risk factors for MI include male gender,
family history of MI, obesity, hypertension, cigarette smoking, and
elevation of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, homocysteine,
lipoprotein (a), or C-reactive protein. At least 80% of MIs occur in
people without a prior history of angina pectoris, and 20% are not
recognized, either because they cause no symptoms (silent infarction)
or because symptoms are attributed to other causes. Some 20% of people
sustaining MI die before reaching a hospital. The classical symptom of
MI is crushing anterior chest pain radiating into the neck, shoulder,
or arm, lasting more than 30 minutes, and not relieved by
nitroglycerin; typically pain is accompanied by dyspnea, diaphoresis,
weakness, and nausea. Significant physical findings, often absent,
include an atrial gallop rhythm (4th heart sound) and a pericardial
friction rub. The electrocardiogram shows ST segment elevation (later
changing to depression) and T wave inversion in leads reflecting the
area of infarction. Q waves indicate transmural damage and a poorer
prognosis. Diagnosis is supported by acute elevation in serum levels
of myoglobin, lactic dehydrogenase, the MB isoenzyme of creatine
kinase, and troponins. Unequivocal evidence of MI may be lacking
during the first 6 hours in as many as 50% of patients. Death from
acute MI is usually due to arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation or
asystole), shock (forward failure), congestive heart failure, or
papillary muscle rupture. Other grave complications, which may occur
during convalescence, include cardiorrhexis, ventricular aneurysm, and
mural thrombus. Acute MI is treated (ideally under continuous ECG
monitoring in the intensive care or coronary care unit of a hospital)
with narcotic analgesics, oxygen by inhalation, intravenous
administration of a thrombolytic agent, antiarrhythmic agents when
indicated, and usually anticoagulants (aspirin, heparin),
beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors. Patients with evidence of
persistent ischemia require angiography and may be candidates for
balloon angioplasty. Data from the Framingham Heart Study show that a
higher percentage of acute MIs are silent or unrecognized in women and
the elderly. Several studies have shown that women and the elderly
tend to wait longer before seeking medical care after the onset of
acute coronary symptoms than men and younger persons. In addition,
women seeking emergency treatment for symptoms suggestive of acute
coronary disease are less likely than men with similar symptoms to be
admitted for evaluation, and women are less frequently referred than
are men for diagnostic tests such as coronary angiography. Other
studies have shown important gender differences in the presenting
symptoms and medical recognition of MI. Chest pain is the most common
symptom reported by both men and women, but men are more likely to
complain of diaphoresis, while women are more likely to experience
neck, jaw, or back pain, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, or cardiac
failure, in addition to chest pain. The incidence rates of acute
pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock in MI are higher in women, and
mortality rates at 28 days and 6 months are also higher.
Old Age: In
this modern scientific age, some people think that someone who dies
must have suffered with a disease that lead to their death
· Many death
certificates give an imprecise "diagnosis" (myocardial degeneration,
morbus cordis, multiple organ failure etc) as the attending doctor
felt obliged to conform to this view
· I feel
that some elderly people do, in fact, die of old age
· The
registrars in the UK are happy to accept old age as a cause of death
· The use of
the term old age or any of its euphemisms does not indicate that the
attending doctor did not know the cause of death. Rather he (or she)
was being honest
o Sometimes,
a doctor may strongly suspect that, on the basis of the history and
examination findings, a certain disease was the cause of death, but
the patient was too frail to be subjected to investigations to confirm
the suspected diagnosis
Atherosclerosis: Commonly called hardening of the arteries
Almost
everyone gets this condition eventually. The arteries fur up with
plaques of cholesterol, over which a blood clot can grow, which
narrows the artery and eventually fail to adequately supply blood
It leads to
angina, heart attacks, strokes and gangrene of the limbs. It is more
common in smokers, diabetics and those with high blood pressure. [32],
