Prema podacima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije od bolesti srca i krvnih žila u svijetu godišnje umre oko 17,9 milijuna ljudi. U Republici Hrvatskoj su u 2018. godini od kardiovaskularnih bolesti umrle 23 048 osobe, što čini 43,7% od ukupnog broja umrlih. Akutni infarkt miokarda predstavlja po život opasno stanje te se javlja zbog naglog prekida u opskrbi koronarnom krvlju, uzrokujući oštećenje tkiva. Klinički se očituje jakim retrosternalnim bolovima, često u mirovanju, karaktera pečenja, stezanja i pritiska koji ne popuštaju na promjenu položaja. U dijagnostici važna je analiza bolova u prsima uz pojavu karakterističnih promjena u elektrokariogramu specifičnih za infarkt miokarda te porast enzima u serumu. Akutni infarkt miokarda zahtijeva hitnu medicinsku intervenciju, odnosno ponovno otvaranje začepljene koronarne arterije, što se postiže, ranom reperfuzijom miokarda, fibrinolitičkom terapijom, perkutanom koronarnom intervencijom ili operacijskim zahvatom.
Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati koliko je opća populacija informirana o akutnom infarktu miokarda te ispitati razlike u znanju o infarktu miokarda ovisno o sociodemografskim karakteristikama sudionika. Istraživanje je provedeno putem Google obrasca u razdoblju od ožujka do travnja 2022. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 357 ispitanika te je bilo anonimno i dobrovoljno. Upitnik je dijeljen na društvenoj mreži Facebook. Kod 20,2% ispitanika je infarkt miokarda dijagnosticiran njima ili nekome iz njihove obitelji. Čak 87,4% ispitanika smatra da bi se informiranost o infarktu miokarda mogla povećati pružanjem edukacija u srednjim školama i fakultetima te njih 51,5% bi bilo zainteresirano sudjelovati edukacijama o infarktu miokarda. Dobivena je statistički razlika u informiranosti o akutnom infarktu miokarda ovisno o dobi i razini obrazovanja ispitanika.
Abstract (english) Acute myocardial infarction, also known as heart attack, is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. According to World Health Organization, about 17.9 million people die annually from heart and blood vessel diseases in the world. In 2018, 23,048 people died of cardiovascular diseases in the Republic of Croatia, which is 43.7% of the total number of deaths. Acute myocardial infarction is a life-threatening condition and occurs due to a sudden interruption in the coronary blood supply, causing tissue damage. Clinically, it manifests itself as severe retrosternal pain, often at rest, characterized by burning, tightness and pressure that does not subside with a change in position. In diagnosis, it is important to analyze chest pain with the appearance of characteristic changes in the electrocardiogram specific to myocardial infarction and an increase in enzymes in the serum. Acute myocardial infarction requires urgent medical intervention, i.e. re-opening of the blocked coronary artery, which is achieved by early myocardial reperfusion, fibrinolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention or surgery.
The aim of the research was to examine how informed the general population is about acute myocardial infarction and to examine the differences in knowledge about myocardial infarction depending on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants.
The survey was conducted via a Google form in the period from March to April 2022. A total of 357 respondents participated in the survey and it was anonymous and voluntary. The questionnaire was shared on the social network Facebook.
Of the 357 respondents who participated in the research, there were 237 (66.4%) female respondents and 120 (33.6%) male respondents. The largest number of respondents was between 21 and 30 years old (32.5%). In 20.2% of respondents, they or someone from their family was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. As many as 87.4% of respondents believe that information about myocardial infarction could be increased by providing education in secondary schools and colleges, and 51.5% of them would be interested in participating in education about myocardial infarction. A statistical difference was obtained in information about acute myocardial infarction depending on the age and level of education of the respondents.
