S&s of an acute mi include chest pain, rapid pulse, n&v, sweating, sudden onset of sob, difficulty breathing, and change in bp. To confirm a mi, tests will be necessary. These tests include an electrocardiogram (ecg) and blood tests such as. Additional tests may also be required such as a chest x-ray, echocardiogram, coronary catheterization (angiogram), exercise stress test, and cardiac computerized tomography (ct) or magnetic resonance imaging (mri).
