Explain what the dental team can do to prevent angina or myocardial infarction from occurring in the dental office
What will be an ideal response?
Prevention of angina or myocardial infarction is accomplished by being aware of the patient’s medical history and taking steps to alleviate stress during the dental visit. It is especially important to minimize pain with a patient who has a history of coronary problems. Because pain tends to cause stress, it will aggravate a heart condition and possibly trigger an attack. It may also be necessary to limit the length of the dental appointment for heart patients, since the stress of a long appointment may also trigger an attack.
