cardiac Flashcards
non modifiable risk fx heart disease
age, male, family history
modifiable risk fx heart disease
smoking, htn, diet, hyperlipidemia, physical inactivity, obesity DM, pvd, l ventricular wall motion dysfunction
majority mis caused by
atherosclerosis
patho MI
emoli–>ischemia–>acidosis–>inflammatory/cellular response–>preservation measures (collateral circ)–?zones of necrosis—>signs of MI
ami caused by
ruptured plaque emboli lodging in a coronary vessel
cessation of perfusion causes
aerobic production (38 ATP) to anaerobic (2ATP)
ischemia occurs when
ATP deman is greater than atp production
myocardial acidosis
first 6 hours of onset mi symptoms:
- H+accumulate
- ca++ displace from SR
- K= shift outside cell and NA+ inside, altered cell membrane action potential causing edema and arrhythmias
- myocardial acidosis
anerobic waste leads to
lactic acide, increased intracellular ph and inhibition of anaerobic atp production
continued hpoxia leads to
cell death and necrosis
necrotic myocardial cells release
cytokines that mediate acute inflamm process
what accumulates at infarct site- proteolytic enzymes that spills proteins into smaller peptides
this exacerbates injury
myocardial o2 reserve is gone within
8 seconds
immediaely after total occlusion how many normal heartbeats can be completed
sufficient o2 and atp in tissue to sustain 27
ecg changes in
30 seconds
pain with mi
60 seconds after ischemia
myocardial cells are irreversibly injured after
30-40 minutes of ischemia
zone of necrosis
center, contains dead tissue
zone of injury
inner ring- tissue cannot contract but not necrotic
zone of ischemia
inner and outer ring, superimposed upon the zone of injury, separates the other two zones from undamaged tissue
effects of MI
decrease ventricular stroke volume—> decreased CO
- increased LV filling pressure
- decreased cardiac output—> decreased compliance left ventricle= resultant stiff muyocardiam increases BP
- decreased CO and arterial pressure–> baroreceptor mediated
- pain stimulates vasoconstriction and HTN
- SNS increases o2 demand, enlarging the infarcted region and preciptating arrhythmias and impairing cardiac function
s/s AMI
substernal chest pain
progressing hypoxia
dizziness, nausea
itachycardia, increased resp and dyspnea
class i nyh assoc
no limit physical activity
class II (mild)
slight limitation activity, physical activity leads to fatigue, dyspnea, palpitation
class III (moderate)
marked limitation physical activity, ok at rest but less then ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palp, dysp
class IV (severe)
unable to carry out any physical tast
what lead is most sensitive for detecting ischemia
V5
lead II can detect
ischemia of RCA distribution and most useful for monitroing p waves
V5 and lead II
highest sensitivity to detect ischemia
MI drugs of choice
fentanyl vs. inhaled
inhaled agents cause
vasodilation, decreased preload, decreased CO
o2 demand determined by
wall tension, hr and contractility
o2 delivery
determined by o2 content, coronary blood flow
increased wall tension factors
increased preload, increased afterload will increase o2 demand
increased contractility in response to sympathetic stim or inotropes will
increase o2 demand
increased heart rate
increases contractility but decreases ventricular diameter, decreases wall tension, decreases o2 demand
tee can detect with mi
new segmental wall motion abnormalities
goal periop
maintain supply and demand
what should be avoided with mi
ketamine
muscle relax with mi
vec, roc (pan increases hr)
malignant hypertension
systolic greater than 200 or dbp>120
stage 1 htn
140-159 or 90-99 confirm in 2 months
stage 2 hypertension
> 160 or >100
htn during anesthesia may be due to
depth of anesthesia, hypoxia, hypercarbia
systolic dyfunction
reduced ability for heart to eject, lvef <40%
factors affecting CO
preload, contractility, afterload,(stroke volume), heart rate
compensatory mech co
neurohormonal, frank starling, inflammatory cytokines, ventric remodeling
neurohormonal activation sns- adaptive
- catecholamine induced augmentation ventricular contractility and hr
- systemic and pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to enhanced venous tone, leads to increased preload, maintains blood pressure
maladaptive neurohumoral activation
elevation catechoamine, leads to direct myocyte toxicity leads to apoptosis and myocardial removeling
RAAS
angiotensin II leads to vaocostriction leads to increased preload
aldosterone leads to increase NA resorption, leads to increased preload
maladaptive RAAs
angiotensin II lacts directly on myocytes to promote pathologic removeling leading to decreased contractility
release of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides released following
atrial and ventricular vent, decreased perivpheral vascular resistance and promote sodium excretion
one of fist signs heart failure
increased BNP
frank starling curve
increased sarcomere length, increased CO to a point
ventricular remodeling-
hemodynamic stresses on the heart lead to this, changes compensatory initially to increase ventricular volume, greater stroke volume, higher CO, then ventricle continues to enlarge and myocardium hypertrophies, leading to impaired ontractility
s/s systolic dysfunction
dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, dry/nonprod cough, fatigue and weakness, nocturia, decreased exercise toleratnce
systolic dysfunction clinical signs
caxechia, ansious, expir wheeze and rhonchi, cough, tachypnea, laterally displaced PMI, S3, cool and pale extremitie
Stage A
risk factors present, no heart failure
stage b
structural heart disease, no smptoms heart failure
stage c
structural disease with prior or current symptoms of heart failure and lv dyfunction (high risk of decompensation)
stage d
refractory end stage heart disease (highest risk anesthesia)
intraop with systolic dysfunction
avoid nitrous, etomidate for induction, opiods, positiove pressure and peep
hemodynamic goals systolic dyfunction
maintain co, o2 delivery, tissue perfusion, maintain contractility, avoid increases in afterloa
maintain contractiity and co with
epinephrine, dobutamine, milrinone, iabp, vad
diastolic dysfunction
functional abnormality of diastolic relaxation (lusitropy), filling or distensibility of the left ventricle, regardless of ejection fraction. abnormal cardiac relaxation stiffness and filling
diastolic heart failure
diastolic dysfuction with s/s of heart failure, having anormal EF
dyastolic dysfunction vs. systolic dysfunction
diastolic (can’t relax and fill), systolic (too relaxed, cant contract)
systolic dysfunction
decreased EF, progressive chamber dilation eccentric remodeling EF <50
diastolic dysfunction
normal EF, normal LVEDV, abnormal diastolic function, concentric remodeling/hypertrophy
grading system diastolic dysfunction
I-relaxation abnormality
II psudonormal
III- restrictive (reversible)
IV- irreversible
dyastolic heart failure
ef>50
etiology diastolic ysfunction
abn stiffness left vent
abn relaxation left vent
abn filling left vent
isovolumetric relaxation
period between aortic valve closre and mitral valve opening, no change in volume, lv pressure declines
increase in LV diastolic pressure causing and increase in pulm venous pressure can cause
heart failure
hypertrophic remodeling
caused by hypertension
concentric hypertrophy
lv muscle mass thicker, diminishing volume while maintaing a normal ef of blood
anesthesia contraindications
severe aortic or mitral valve stenosis
uncontrolled heart failure
mi less than 1 month
prevent intraop diastolic heart failure
keep HR within narrow range (allow filling)
tachycardia bad
bp withina narrow range
careful with volume
careful with volatile agents and induction as they may decrease inotropy
complication of stenosed valves
obstructed blood flow forward, pressure overload
stenosed valve can lead to
compensation via increas in chamber wall thickness (concentric hypertrophy)
stenosis implications
slow and steady heart rate
maintain preload
maintain SVR
regurgitation problem
back flow of blood, volume overload
regurgitation leads to
compensation via chamber dilation (eccentric hypertropy)
implications of regurgitation
after load reduction for fast, full, forward flow
MR TRAPS
systole
MS. PARTS
diastole
tricuspid stenosis leads to
right sided heart failure- hepatomegaly, ascies, peripheral edema, fatigue, dyspnea
tricuspid regurgitation- r
right atrial volume overload
tricuspid regur leads to
a fib, rv systolic dysfunction, rv hypertrophy, r sided heart failure, dyspnea
serous pericarditis
non infectious
fibrinous
dry with a fine granulare roughening (friction rub)
serofibrinous
more intense inflammatory process with cloudy pericardial fluid d/t leukoscytes/red blood cells fibrin
purulent/suppurative
invasion of the pericardial space with microbes
hemmorhagic
blood with a fibrous/serious mix
caseous
most often with tb, direct spread from TB foci
most common pericarditis
serofibrinus
friction rub assoc with
fibrinous pericarditis
caseous necrosis is
a form of cell death when tissue maintains a cheese like appearance
acute pericarditis clinical presentation
sharp peuritic pain ant chest, increasing pain with recumbent position (may be leaning forward), low grade fever, malaise, tachycardia, ecg, duration hours to days, elevated wbc, troponin may be elevated
pericardial friction rubs are
present throughtout the cardiac cycle
normal pericardium
intrathroacic pressure decreases during inspiration, leading to an increas in venous return to the right heart and increase in right ventricular chamber size. b/c normal pericardium accomodates the increased venous return, return does not impair left vent filling
pericardium
anchors, reduces friction, acts as a barrier, limits acute dilation of ventricles, promotes diastolic coupling
acute pericarditis
acute inflammation of the pericardial layers
constrictive pericarditis
chronic inflammation can lead to fibrosis and calcification and eventually impaired diastolic filling
st elevation with pericarditis
widespread, concave, t waves inverted when st segments have normalized
result of scarring with constrictive pericarditis
adhesion of pericardium to epicardium
constrictive pericarditis is
typically chronic, can be acute, transient, occult constriction
constrictive pericarditis leads to
diminished elasticity of pericardium, prevents the normal inspitory decrease in intrathoracic pressure, rapid early diastolic filling, ultimately reduced SV
s/s constrictive
fluid overload- peripheral edema, ascites, jvd, fatique, pericardial knock
pericarditis diagnosis
TEE- pericardial thickening, atrial enlargement, abn septal movement, echo with doppler, ct/mri, coronary angiography
