For myocardial infarction, oxygen therapy should first be administered to alleviate myocardial ischemia. Subsequently, treatments such as coronary intervention (e.g., percutaneous coronary intervention) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be performed. During this period, strict bed rest is essential. Additionally, analgesics and coronary vasodilators should be administered, along with antithrombotic and thrombolytic agents to help restore the patient’s vital signs.
