Q

Myocardial Ischemia (Therapy)

A

Lifestyle changes

Revascularization
- PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)
–> Insert a balloon to open closed artery
- CABG (Coronary Bypass Graft Surgery)
–> Redirect blood flow around damaged area

Q

Determinants of Supply

A

Coronary Diameter (Blood supplying heart)
Collateral Blood Flow (Back up vessels)
Perfusion Pressure (Pressure that supplies body with blood)
Heart Rate / Diastole (Pumps blood to body)

Q

Determinants of Demand

A

More energy = More oxygen
- Heart rate
- Systolic Blood Pressure
- Myocardial Wall Stress + Contractility

Q

Increasing Myocardial Contraction
- When?

A
  • Reduce risk of low cardiac output
  • Following cardiac surgery
  • Cases of cardiogenic / septic shock

Q

Arterial Dilators

A

Decrease vascular resistance
- Decreases afterload on left ventricle
–> Reduces demand of oxygen

16
Q

Venous Dilators

A

Reduce venous pressure
- Decreases preload on heart
–> Decreases cardiac output

17
Q

Nitrate Chronic Use

A

Nitrates are abossrbed qickly, have short half lives

Not used chronically, patients are quick to develop resistance
- Impaired conversion to NO active form
- Dysfunction of endothelial
- Forms free radicals
- Increased release of vasoconstrictors in response

18
Q

Stable Angina

A

Classic
- Atherosclerosis
–> Fatty Plaque causes narrowing of vessel

19
Q

Unstable Angina

A

Crescendo
- Atherosclerosis + Blood Clot
–> Plaque is unstable and releases stuff causing thrombosis

20
Q

Variant Angina

A

Prinzmetal
- Coronary Spasm
