Myocardial infarction usually affect heart function. I wish to know if this pathological condition can affect the level of gastric acid production in the body and hence the digestive process.
In an experimental rat myocardial infarction model, gastrointestinal dysfunction (manifested as increased gastric retention rate etc) after myocardial infarction has been reported, involving abnormal tryptophan-5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism.
This is a bit different question, but there is also a debate over associations between proton pump inhibitors (gastric acid-suppressing agents) and cardiovascular risks including myocardial infarction, including effects of such inhibitors on myocardial H+/K+–ATPase.
Hi. Yes, I think it affects the secretion of epinephrine, which causes blood vessels to constrict and reduce blood flow to the stomach, and is considered stressful in itself, and gastric acid secretion increases under stress.

1.Stess incited by myocardial infarction can have dual effect. Increase in acid secretion in response to the stress induced increase norepinephrine. The other is protective by reducing the prostaglandins. 2.The haemodynamic changes that may occur following myocardial infarction can also increase the acid secretion.
