Q

How do platelets affect plaque rupture?

A

TXA2 causes vasoconstriction

ADP recruits more platelets

they can reactivate for several weeks

Q

What type of CAD: EKG is unimpressive, patient is pale, diaphoretic, short of breath with substernal CP that woke him from sleep

A

ACS

15
Q

ST elevation on an EKG means…

A

vessel fully occluded

17
Q

In ACS, why does a patient with ~40% blockage suddenly have a serious obstruction?

A

transient vasospasm causes ~80% obstruction (the demand is constant but the oxygen supply is down)

18
Q

How does preload affect BP?

A

an increase in preload causes an increase in BP (because it increases SV)

19
Q

Read this:

A

STEMI

21
Q

Coronary oxygen supply is a function of

A

coronary blood flow

22
Q

How do you know it’s heart pain (not just chest wall pain, etc)?

A

>5 min but <30

23
Q

What causes angina pain?

A

the plaque is growing!

24
Q

What causes an increased oxygen demand?

A

increased BP

increased HR

25
Q

Inadequate oxygen supply is due to:

A

blockage

vasoconstriction

26
Q

MI complications include:

A

myocardial rupture (can occur a few different places)

LV aneurysm

pericarditis

venous thrombosis

27
Q

A

STEMI
