Myocardial Infarction is the medical name for heart attack. Heart attack is a fatal condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly interrupted, causing tissue damage. This is usually caused by a blockage in one or more coronary arteries. A blockage can form as a result of plaque buildup, which is primarily composed of fat, cholesterol, and cellular waste products.
Symptoms of myocardial infarction include chest pain or discomfort, heartburn, nausea, and sweating. Certain risk factors, such as age, tobacco use, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, illicit drug use, or stress contribute to the unwanted buildup of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) that narrows arteries throughout the human body which then may cause heart attack.
Medications such as aspirin, antiplatelet agents, or pain relievers can be used to treat heart attack. In addition to medications, procedures such as coronary angioplasty and stenting, can be used to treat heart attack. A long, thin tube (catheter) is guided through an artery in the groin or wrist to a blocked artery in the heart during this procedure. If needed, coronary artery bypass surgery may be performed to restore the heart muscle's supply of blood.
Global Myocardial Infarction Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 182 million cases and 3.95 million deaths due to COVID-19 were reported till July 2, 2021 across the globe.
Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Myocardial Infarction Treatment
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Many countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health-care delivery around the world, including delays in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment. Thus, impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the global myocardial infarction market during the forecast period. For instance, according to news article published in American College of Cardiology on 11 January 2021, surveys were submitted from 909 inpatient and outpatient centers performing cardiac diagnostic procedures in 108 countries. It was reported that during the pandemic, cardiac diagnostic procedure’s figures fell by 42% between March 2019 and March 2020, and 64% between March 2019 and April 2020. Transthoracic echocardiography decreased by 59%, trans esophageal echocardiography by 76%, and stress tests by 78%.
However, due to the increase in heart problems after the administration of COVID-19 vaccine, it is expected to propel the growth of global myocardial infarction market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since April 2021, thousands of cases of heart inflammation such as myocarditis and pericarditis were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the inflammation occurred after administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) in the U.S.
The global myocardial infarction market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,816.8 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Myocardial Infarction is also known as heart attack. Heart attack occurs when one of the coronary arteries of the heart becomes suddenly blocked or has extremely slow blood flow.
The formation of a blood clot is the most common cause of a sudden blockage in a coronary artery (thrombus). The blood clot usually forms inside a coronary artery that has already been narrowed by atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty deposits (plaques) accumulate along the inside wall of the artery.
Chest discomfort, pain, or discomfort in the upper body, shortness of breath, sweating, indigestion, dizziness, or extreme weakness, and anxiety are all symptoms of a heart attack. ECG and blood tests are conducted to diagnose heart attack. Drugs such as vasodilators, aspirin, and beta blockers are used to treat heart attack.
