Q

stable angina

A

predictable, reproducible symptoms

induced by exercise, cold, emotional stress

lasts 5-10 min, received by rest or NTG

occurs 2/2 fixed, stable plaque blocking 50% (mc 70%)

Q

unstable angina

A

increase in cardiac ischemia symptom frequency, severity, or duration

occurring at rest

less responsive to rest or NTG for relief

caused by plaque rupture or progression

symptoms suggestive of ACS with no elevation in troponin

may have EKG changes

Q

risk of CVD and CP analysis

A

symptoms are not GERD or pleuritic chest pain

CV risk factors? if present increases likelihood of CAD being cause

PE will show carotid bruit, poor peripheral pulses

Q

resting EG abnormalities concerning for coronary ischemia

A

T wave inversion
ST depression/elevation
New bungle branch block

increase likelihood 2-10 fold

limitations - not good enough to diagnose

16
Q

pre-test probability

A

probability that target disorder is present PRIOR to performing diagnostic test

diamond Forrester criteria gives likelihood ratio

17
Q

diamond Forrester criteria

high risk is? low risk?

A

High >90%

low <10%

18
Q

what risk of diamond Forrester criteria do you stress test

A

Intermediate

low risk = think of something else
high risk = it’s probably there, move on to cardiac cath

19
Q

grading angina (I-IV

A

I: ordinary activity doesn’t cause angina

II: slight citation of ordinary activity

III: marked limitation of physical activity

IV: inability to do ANY physical activity without discomfort

20
Q

goal of Angina/Cad therapy

A

slow/arrest progression of CAD (decreasing risk of ACS)

relief of anginal symptoms (lifestyle, revascularization, pharmacotherapy)

aggressive risk factor reduction

21
Q

management goals in CAD

A

DM: A1c <7%

Hyperlipid: LDL < 70 (statin) Tgs <200 (fabric acid, fish oils)

smoking cessation

HTN (<140/90)

Obesity

Sedentary lifestyle

22
Q

pharm management of CAD

A

statin therapy and anti-platelet (LOWERS mortality)

ACE/ARBS (DM, LV systolic)

BB, CCB, Nitrates, Ranolazine

23
Q

nitroglycerin

A

decreases preload and after load,, coronary vasodilation

can cause HA, flushing

24
Q

BB/CCB

A

decreases heart rate, contractility, BO

may worsen HF and cause heart block

25
Q

indications for revascularization

A

angina despite medical therapy (class III-iV)

high risk: EKG changes in stress test (VTach), unstable angina, arrhythmia with angina, survive sudden cardiac arrest

26
Q

options for revascularization

A

CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting)

PCI (PCTA or intracornary) PCTA stenting

27
Q

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)

A

cardiac cath with small balloon inflated at opening of stenosis

5% of patients experience arterial thrombosis

50% develop restenosis in 1-6 months

28
Q

intracoronary stoning

A

1-2% thrombosis, 20-25% restenosis

first choice for coronary arterial lesions, not good for the small ones

two types: BMS and DES

29
Q

bare metal stent (BMS)

A

patient will be on aspirin indefinitely

clopidogrel for 4 weeks to 1 year after stent

good option for patients who need surgery

30
Q

Drug Eluting Stent (DES)

A

coated with anti-proliferative drugs to prevent restenosis

delays endothelialization of stent (higher thrombosis risk)

restenosis in 5-10%, 70% reduction in restenosis

aspirin indefinitely plus thienopyridene for 12 months MINIMUM

31
Q

stent complications

A
  1. hemorrhage/hematoma at access site
  2. vascular damage
  3. peri-procedural MI
  4. real failure
  5. instEnt thrombosis
  6. instEnt restenosis
  7. cholesterol emboli syndrome
32
Q

hemorrhage at access site

A

check H&H to evaluate if suspected

common

retroperitoneal hemorrhage (anemia and back pain)

33
Q

cholesterol emboli syndrome

A

hx of norther atheroma manifests as renal failure, mesenteric ischemia, toe necrosis (with distal pulses) and lived reticular

34
Q

CABG veins used

A

saphenous beins
internal mammary artery** or radial artery

harvested and anastomosed to ascending aorta and coronary to BYPASS areas of atherosclerosis

35
Q

indications of CABG

A

> 50% stenosis of L MAIN CORONARY

three major epicardial coronary arteries w/LV systolic dysfunction (EF <50%)

multi vessel disease in diabetics

36
Q

PCI is better

A

limited lesions, normal ventricular systolic function

37
Q

medication therapy for

A

stable CAD without critical stenosis (<70%) and without left ventricular systolic dysfunction
