Do you know are heart attacks from injury treated the same as normal heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: One of the mainstays of treatment of heart attacks is the use of clot retractors or medicines to dissolve clots. This is contraindicated in crush injury, GI bleeding, neurosurgery, or bleeding in the head.
