ACS Flashcards
To call STEMI ST segment elevation should persist more than
20 mts
The normal MI due to plaque rupture we see is Type
1
In TMT ST depression in V1 indicates
Lcx disease-100% specific (but low sensitivity)
CK MB assays to avoid Macrokinase
Mass assays avoid detection of Macrokinase . Usually used is activity assay
If CK MB is > 20% of total CPK Suspect Macrokinase
Chronic skeletal muscle disease like DERMATOMYOSITIS/POLYMYOSITIS CK MB fraction may be as high as 50%
MC side effect of Ticagrelor
Dyspnea- More than 10%
RV is supplied by a single coronary artery and flow in diastole is ____%
50% in Diastole
In LV 90% flow occurs in Diastole
Stage 3 ECG change in Acute pericarditis
Diffuse T inversions :: usually after ST has become isoelectric
Stage 4 :is normal ECG
Stage 2 ECG change in acute pericarditis
Seen in First week
Normalization of ST and PR segments
ST elevation pattern in acute pericarditis
Diffuse ST elevation
ST depression in V1and aVR
PR elevation in aVR
PR depression in other limb leads and left chest leads ( esp V5& 6)
PR& ST change in opposite directions
Treatment of peri infarct pericarditis
Avoid using NSAID for 7-10 days
Then Aspirin 650-1000mg TID for 1-2 weeks
Colchicine may be given..
When to stop anticoagulation in PIP
If effusion more than 1 cm or if effusion increases 3 mm or more may consider stopping anticoagulation
M guard stent is
Stent with a micronet to prevent distal embolisation
In thrombotic lesions
Higher restenosis rates
Dose of tenecteplase in acute MI
30-50 mg over 5 sec
<60kg– 30 mg
>90 kg–50 mg
Stent thrombosis mortality rate
Upto 40%
Clinical and diagnostic picture of acute MI was first described in
1910
LV function doesn’t normalize in……% of patients after coronary reperfusion
30%
Re perfusion injury is responsible for ….% of infarct size
50%
Microvascular obstruction occurs in …..% of patients after PAMI
40%
Precordial Electrography was first described in
1944
Wilson and Rosenbaum
Introduction of enzymes into clinical practice was in
1955
by La Due
…..% of hospital deaths in first 72 hours is due to arrhythmias
70%
Intensive monitoring for AMI was first started in …… to prevent arrhythmic deaths
1962
Benefit of streptokinase in opening coronaries were first documented in
1976 by Chazov
Though streptokinase was used from 1950s the results were inconsistent
With intracoronary STK
First angioplasty was done in
1977 by Gruntzig
Stunned myocardium was first demonstrated in
1980 in dogs
Hibernating myocardium was first described in
1978
due c/c ischemia
In stunned myocardium blood flow is normal but in hibernating it is reduced
Both are viable myocardium
With coronary re perfusion in AMI … of area at risk is saved
50%
The rest will be scar
But strategies to reduce reperfusion will reduce the scar to 25% from the 50%
Factor Leiden V is
Type of Factor V which is inactivated less efficiently by Protein C
Inherited thrombophilias means
Factor V Leiden- most common
ProteinC,S,AT-III def
Prothrombin gene mutation
Total 5 inherited thrombophilias
Arterial thrombosis and inherited thrombophilias relation
Testing is NOT justified as they principally cause only Venous thrombosis
Further review there may be some association

MINOCA
MI with No Obstructive Coronary Atherosclerosis (<50% stenosis)
The 3 main antiphospholipid antibodies are
- aCL-anticardiolipin
- LA- lupus Anticoagulant
- Anti Beta 2 Glycoprotein antibody
