17
Q

MONA might not be good if:

A

Morphoine = avoid unless severe pain

ocygen= may increase vasospasm

nitrates = recent PDE-5

18
Q

diagnosis of an MI (workup)

A

12 lead EKG (and repeat)

usual labs

BNP (heart failure)

CXR
cardiac enzymes (q 6-8 hrs) 

CK-MB and Troponin I

19
Q

unstable angina/NSTEMI tx

steps

A
  1. anti-anginal (2)
  2. dual anti platelet therapy (DAPT) (2)
  3. anti-thrombotic therapy (1)
  4. Risk strategy

1-3 are always indicted in NSTEMI/UA

electrolytes and telemetry floor

20
Q

anti-anginal therapy

A

beta blockers (cardioselective BB, doesn’t have HF hemodynamic compromise)

Nitroglycerin

21
Q

DAPT

A

uncoated aspirin

thienopyridine or P2Y12 inhibitor

can use GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor

22
Q

anti-thrombotic therapy

A

1 of 4

  1. unfractionated heparin
  2. LMWH
  3. fonduparinux
  4. IV direct thrombin inhibitors

inhibit further thrombin activation

23
Q

risk stratification in UA/NSTEMI

high risk

A

1+ of, immediate angiogram and revascularizatoin

  • hemodynamic instability or shock
  • severe LV dysfunction of HF
  • persistent resting angina despide meds
  • new or worsening regurge
  • sustained ventricular arrhythmia
24
Q

risk stratification in UA/NSTEMI

stable risk

A

TIMI score used, cath in 24-48 hrs , 3+ is high risk

> 65, 3+ CAD risk factors, known CAD >50% stenosis, Aspirin, severe angina, elevated markers, ST deviation

25
Q

TIMI 5+

A

immediate angiography
unstable patients

add re graph

26
Q

TIMI 3+

A

invasive approach

cardiac cath 4-48 hrs

revascular options est depending on results

27
Q

TIMI 0-2

A

conservative approach

intensify meds

if symptom free, stress test, if not cardiac cath

28
Q

goal of STEMI management

A

total occlusion of large artery SO myself open ASAP to restore perfusion

29
Q

door to balloon time goal? door to needle?

A

to balloon = 90 min (into hospital to time deploy stent)

to needle= 30 min (thrombolytic ASAP)

PCI with angioplasty or stent is preferred if either options are available (CAPBG is not emergent)

30
Q

STEMI with normal coronaries

A

MC in young and women patients

causes: coronary spasm, toxins, collagen, coagulation dz, myocarditis, embolism

31
Q

functional complications of AMI

A

CHF (left ventricle) = ACE

right ventricle failure = fluids, avoid nitro/diuretic

cardiogenic shock

32
Q

mechanical complications of AMI

A

free wall rupture - high mortality, complete heart block

ventricular septal defect

papillary muscle rupture with acute mitral refuge

33
Q

right ventricular infarction

A

coronary occlusion of R a. or branch

inferior MI

clinical triad of: hypotension, clear lungs, jugular venous distention

-backing up in systemic system , LV intact

34
Q

treatment of right ventricular infarction

A

BP depends on preload

STEMI in precordial leads

myst get right sided EKG

avoid vasodilators and diuretics

treat hypotension = givese volume

35
Q

CAD in elderly

A

elderly are more like to have NSTEMI and silent or atypical presentation

more likely to have HF associated with MI

36
Q

medications in secondary prevention

A

beta blocker

aspirin

clopidogrel

ace (HF, LVEF <50%)

staitn

37
Q

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

A

transient systolic dysfunctional of apical or mid segments of LV that mimics MI

38
Q

cocaine

A

cause CP, coronary artery vasospasm and MI

BB or contraindicated

nitrates and non-DHP CCB are recommend

39
Q

Prinzmetal angina

A

vasospasm of artery

atypical chest pain occurring during rest (MC 12AM -morning)

young smokers, history of coaine use

transient ST elevation

responsive to nitrates, thought to be due to hyperactivity of vascular smooth muscle

40
Q

prinzmetal angina treatment

A

smoking and drug cessation

treatment with non-DHP CCB

avoid beta blockers

41
Q

best way to reduce CAD risk

A

predicting 10 yr risk

starting aggressive and early changes

control of lipids, HTN , DM
