Acute Coronary Syndromes Flashcards
Stable angina
chest or arm discomfort brought on by exertion or emotional stress, relieved within 5-15 min by rest or ntg
anginal equivalents
women/diabetes/elderly
dyspnea, nausea, fatigue faitness
MI Classification
type 1- spontaneous- plaque rupture
type 2- MI secondary to imbalance- spasm, pul embolism, anemia
type 3- sudden unexpected cardiac death before biomarkers
type 4- a. ass. PCI b. stent thrombosis
type 5- MI ass with CABG
integrelin
eptifibatide
must be adjusted for renal
CrCl <50, decrease infusion to 1mcg/kg/min
max 7.5mg/hr
stemi platelet function:
adhesion- mediated by vWF
activation- adp (thrombin induced)- express GP 2b3a
aggregation- fibrinogen links platelet
amplifications
ntg contraindications
hypotensive
severe aortic stenosis
rv infarction
pde for ed <24 hrs
UA/NSTEMI class 3
thrombolytic rx nitrates if 100 iv ace in 1st 24 hr iv b blocker if chf/ shock NSAID
TIMI risk score
age 65, >3 risk factors, prior cad >50%, asa < 7 days, >2 angina events, st deviation, elevated markers
markers of highest risk st deviation and elevated markers
first step usa or nstemi
asa or clopidogrel if asa intolerant
prasugrel if going to pti strategy
Immediate angio/revascularization
persistant ischemic discomfort p meds hemo unstable severe lv dysfuntion or chf worsening mr or vsd sustained vent arrhythmia
volume of contrast causing contrast induced nephropathy
volume/CrCl > 3.7 is high risk for CIN
diabetic revascularization
cabg with lima guideline preferred over pci with multivessel disease
normal coronary art with ua/nstmi
9-14% mechanisms thrombolysis on nonobstructive plaque vasospasm pul embolism, myocarditis, hypertensive emergency
platelet in acs
adhesion: collagen, vWF
activation: ADP (most important) thienopyridine/ ticagrelor (brilanta)
thrombin, and thromboxane
amplification:
aggregation: plt express Gp2b 3a receptor
ADP platelet therapy
thienopyridines (clopidogrel, prasugrel) irreversible P2Y12 receptor blocker for inhibiting ADP production
ticagrelor (reversible)
