Angina and MI Flashcards
CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) Meds
Cholestrol meds ezetimibe (Zetia)
Robostatin
Aspirin
Statin
Given at night. Body at rest. Artery are hardened
Angina
Coronary Spasm
Not true MI
Chronic Angina
intermittent chest pain (on/off)
Resting disappears
Walk & Activity appears
Qn to ask
What is the presipitation of your pain
PQRST
P = Provoking factors - what precipitated the pain?
Q = Quality
R = Region (arm/leg)
S = Severity of Pain
T = Timing of Pain
Best indicator of MI
Troponin
Prinzmetal Angina is
Chronic Angina that is
Coronary Artery Spasm with/ without CAD (coronary artery disease)
Drug of choice for Prinzmetal Angina or Chronic Angina
Diltiazem
Drugs for Prinzmetal Angina
CCB + Nitro (SL) + Beta blockers
BP high give
Amlodipine (Norvosac)
Amlodipine (Norvasc) is one of the first-choice medication options for treating high blood pressure. Additionally, amlodipine (Norvasc) is also a top-choice medication for treating CAD.
Nursing intervention MI
Position Patient semi-flowers position
Normal cause of ischemia is lack of oxygen
chest pain = no oxygen = sit patient = pt able to breathe better
1 cause of chest pain is
blockage
1 thing to do
Apply O2
Ischemia is #1 cause = No oxygen in part of heart
Med for for Chest Pain
ONAM
Apply O2
Nitro
Aspirin
Morphine
Drug of choice for chest pain
Morphine lessens cardiac workload
Nursing Interventions for MI
EKG
Chest X-ray to know heart or lung problem
Troponin
CRP
Electron Beam Tomography
Exercise Stress Test
Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Before Angiography
Patient Teaching before
Cardiac Catherization «Test»
Check for Iodine Allergy
Avoid Metaformin
Renal function test
Teach you will feel flushing = warmth > flash>jumping ###exam
Gold Standard to remove heart blocks
Cardiac Catherization
CABG
less intervention
PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) Assess
> Check allergy
Base line Vital Sign = BP normal
give metoprolol for increased BP.
Check pulse ox, HR, RR
Labs: Troponin, CBC, Hgb/Hct
In stenting = lot of blood is lost
Administer drugs
Pt education post procedure
CAD (Coronary Artery Disease)
2 sub divisions
- Chronic Stable Angina
- Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Chronic Stable Angina can become
Acute
ACS = 2 subdivision
- NSTEMI - Unstable Angina Non-ST segment eleveation MI
- STEMI -ST- Segment Elevation MI
Unstable Angina is the same as
NSTEMI
With ST elevation
Troponin elevation greater than 0.5
ACS == Unstable Angina
New Onset
Tx unstable angina
Thrombolytic administered within 6 hours of start of chest pain.
ACS = Myocardial Infaraction (MI)
You have the blockage, and it is not complete blockage
Ask Pt history?
Hx of CAD, Preexisitng genetic condition
STEMI occlusive thrombosis means ST elevation which can lead to
infarctions
treatment for STEMI
- Artery must be open with
PCI within 12 to 72 hours - Thrombolytic to be administered
2 types of blocks
- Occlusive
- Non-occlusibe
STEMI or NSTEMI Rule
Fix it within 90 mins
Sign of MI
Chest pain occurs early in the morning greater than 20 mins
No pain if
cardiac neuropathy
Note : diabetes they have pain
With MI intially and then
Initially HR high trying to compensate, then stops.
S/s of MI
Initially HR high
BP low
Juglar vein distention
Abnormal HR
If BP = 90/70
I am giving fluids to increase cardiac output
MI = Hypotensive = cardiac o/p low so —-
Renal o/p low. Oliguria, BUN high
Heart is not pumping to perfuse kidney
Carida output problem is the
Kidney problem
Clinical Manifestations of MI
(4)
1 N&V
2. Increase temp with injury to the heart with MI
3. Heaviness = SOB - feels like elephant sitting on chest
Mi leads to
v-fib (dysrhythmias)
Heart is trying to compensate V-fib/ V-tach
MI complication is
HF
Complication of MI
Dysrhythmias
LHF = Pulmonary Edema (water in the lungs)
RHF = Edema all over the body.
Main Complication of MI
Cardiogenic Shock
Decreased oxygen and nutrients to the heart
Fast Pulse, HR increased, RR increased
Eventually everything will go down BP low
In all shocks = septic, stroke shock cardiogenic shock
BP down
MI = Cadiogenic shock then
Intubate the pt./ no perfusion in lungs
Prevent VAP = Turn, Cough, Deep Breathe
While suctioning with catether = no suction while inserting, and then suction on taking out fast.
Hyperoxygenate the pt. first
ACS Diagnostic Studies
Always choose 12-lead EKG (STEMI/ NSTEMI observed)
Lab Troponin high
Electrolytes abnormal
Draw troponin every 8 H - cardiac biomarkers
EKG every 24 H
Problem detected MI (Troponin high)
Cardiac Catherization is done within 90 mins for STEMI and need PCI or CABG as per pt. confition
Nursing Care and Interprofessional Care
ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome)
Pt. semi-flowers or flowers position,
Put oxygen
2 IV in pt with MI
Give medication ONAM, then statin
Unstable Angina = NSTEMI medication
(1) Give Heparin which is not a thromobyltic bit an anticoagulant
Thrombolytics are clot buster or dissolves
Anticoagulant are blood thinner or prevents clots
(2) Glycoprotein lob/ IIIa inhibitors
ACS interprofessional care
Remember table in your text
Chronic = not ICU
Acute = ICU = Continuous EKG
All MI Bed Rest
Pee in Bed, Eat in Bed
NOT WALKING # Bed rest for MI
Check
Interprofessional Mgmt
Heparin - UA & NSTEMI
DAPT = NSTEMI and UA with stent
Aspirin UA
Cardiac catherization = Reperfusion = STEMI = Thrombolytic Therapy
Evaluation for STEMI
Neuro, Pupils, the way they move
MI STEMI
Administration of IV within 30 mins of arrival
STEMI
Thromobolytic therapy - available and rapid administration if not PCI capable. or Give meds awaiting for PCI
Acute treatment
1st treatment for acute MI is
PCI
Goal open block heart = oxygenation and perfusion into heart.
Give nitro drip = vasodilation BP falls= hypotension - headache = dilation
Thormbolytic thearpy Caution
Pt will bleed. Get
Hemostat Gauze, do blood work before for coagulation panel Plt, aPTT and PTT.
Thrombolytic Therapy done for
Chest Pain less than 12 hours
12 Lead KKG shows STEMI
No absolute blood dyscrasia/ hemophilia <Table 33-15>
repurfusion after Heart Attack
ST segment returns to baseline.
PCI done - we have reperfusion
Heart is back
No check pain
Rapid rise fo serum bio markers - peak within 12 hours
Reperfusion dyrhytjmisa less reliable indicator.
Scaring of heart
1st degree heart block/ PAC/ Ventricular Cardiac arrhythmias
Major concern after HA
Reocclusion, so give
IV Heparin
Monitor chest pain and
ECG changes
Major complication of Heparin
Bleeding dafety alert
s/s of bleeding complication:
- abdominal pain
- Check for blood in urine and BM
- blood in eyes, ear, and lungs
Meds for ACS
Ace Inhibitors
Norvac (Amlodapine)
Verapamil
Antidyrrhythmic drugs
colase
lipid-lowering drugs (statins)
