ACS Flashcards
Type 2 MI is caused by what?
Seen in what conditions?
MI 2/2 ischemia caused by increased oxygen demand or decreased supply
Coronary artery spasm, embolism, severe anemia, arrhythmia, HoTN
What is type 3 MI?
SCD w/new STE or LBBB
What is type 4 MI?
Type 5?
MI associated w/instrumentation like PCI
MI associated w/CABG
When does coronary arterial vessel stenosis cause ischemic symptoms?
What about during exercise?
When CAD exceeds 95% obstruction to flow
60% vessel stenosis
What is the MC angina equivalent symptom presentation?
Dyspnea
Where does reciprocal STD occur in inferior MI?
Anterior MI?
aVL
II, III, aVF
Where should T waves always be upright?
Inverted?
Left-sided leads: I, II, V3-V6
aVR, V1 (usually)
STE in leads I and aVL indicate lesion where?
1st diagonal branch of LAD
What favors RV infarction in an inferior STEMI?
STE in V1 with STE in lead III > II
Inferior STEMI has what reciprocal changes?
STD in I, aVL
Why is it important to diagnose RV infarction with right-sided EKG?
They have larger infants w/higher mortality rates and complications
Name the 5 ACS mechs of pathophysiology
- Endothelial damage through: plaque disruption, irregular luminal lesions/shear injury
- Platelet aggregation
- Thrombus formation —> occlusion
- Coronary artery vasospasm
- Reperfusion injury via ROS, Ca, neutrophils
How can excessive oxygen therapy increase rate of ADVERSE outcomes in ACS?
Increases coronary vasoconstriction and oxidative stress
AVOID trial —> O2 increased myocardial injury, dysrhythmias increased
How do nitrates effect myocardium?
How?
Decrease preload (and some afterload)
Inc venous capacitance and induces venous pooling
Why is IV BB use in the ED discouraged?
What is the benefit?
Inc risk of adverse events including: higher rate of cardiogenic shock, inc rate of development of HF, persistent HoTN and bradycardia
Minimal reduction of re-infarction and VFib
