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.
