Overview
ST elevation myocardial infarction can be physiologically induced via exertional strain. A discussion regarding the risk factors and triggers can be found in other chapters.
Causes
Heart attack rates are higher in association with intense exertion, be it psychological stress or physical exertion, especially if the exertion is more intense than the individual usually performs.[1] The period of intense exercise and subsequent recovery is associated with about a 6-fold higher myocardial infarction rate (compared with other more relaxed time frames) for people who are physically very fit.[1] For those in poor physical condition, the rate differential is over 35-fold higher.[1] One observed mechanism for this phenomenon is the increased arterial pulse pressure stretching and relaxation of arteries with each heart beat, which, as has been observed with intravascular ultrasound, increases mechanical "shear stress" on atheromas and the likelihood of plaque rupture.[1]
Acute severe infection, such as pneumonia, can trigger myocardial infarction. A more controversial link is that between Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection and atherosclerosis.[2] While this intracellular organism has been demonstrated in atherosclerotic plaques, evidence is inconclusive as to whether it can be considered a causative factor.[2] Treatment with antibiotics in patients with proven atherosclerosis has not demonstrated a decreased risk of heart attacks or other coronary vascular diseases.[3]c
There is an association of an increased incidence of a heart attack in the morning hours, more specifically around 9 a.m.[4][5][6] Some investigators have noticed that the ability of platelets to aggregate varies according to a circadian rhythm, although they have not proven causation.[7]
A rare cause of STEMI is adrenal myocarditis, where elevated levels of catecholamines due to pheochromocytoma cause myocarditis and STEMI.[8][9][10]
