Acute myocardial infarction treatments in Vietnam

Overview

Medical facilities in Vietnam have reported several successful treatments for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) using coronary interventions.

In Ha Tinh, doctors at Ha Tinh General Hospital performed emergency procedures on an elderly married couple who both suffered heart attacks on the same day. Specialists restored blood flow to both patients by placing stents to address critical coronary artery blockages.

In Tay Ninh, Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital treated multiple patients through Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and balloon angioplasty. Cases included a 57-year-old with severe chest pain and a 53-year-old with a near-total blockage in the left anterior descending artery. One 59-year-old woman was diagnosed with a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction after presenting with symptoms initially mistaken for facial paralysis. Medical experts noted that heart attack symptoms can be atypical, including nausea, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort.
