Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myocardial infarction pain is often described as crushing, stabbing, or squeezing, and is not usually gradual onset with mild left-sided pain. The pain may radiate to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, but not to the knees, feet, or toes. Rest and nitroglycerin may provide some relief, but not complete relief from myocardial infarction pain.
