cardio day 2 PP1 Flashcards
metabolic system need 3+ of the following
high wait circ. , high trigly, high bp, high fasting glucose, red HDL
angina cause
Anything that makes the heart muscle need more O2 such as cold weather, exercise, large meals, stress, abnormal heart rhythms, anemia, valvular disease, heart failure, hyperthyroidism
angina sx
Central tight pressure to squeezing, radiates to the arm or jaw, relieved with rest
Dyspnea on exertion, SOB, NV, weakness/fatigue, epigastric pain, indigestion, change in mental status
Leading cause of death in industrialized countries
ischemic heart disease
ischemic heart disease?
Ischemia (less blood supply) to the heart muscle caused by CAD and narrowing/hardening of the arteries
ischemic heart disease dx
Coronary angiogram
Lab tests
ECG
Stress test, nuc med test, exercise stress
Echo
Coronary CT angiogram, electoral beam CT (EBCT), cardiac MRI
Ranexa
for microvascular and chronic angina
goals stable angina
Prevent MI and death
Improve QOL
stable angina is resolves with
rest or nitroglucerin
Prinzmetal’s Angina?
Vasospasm induced angina that occurs in cycles, mainly at night
Prinzmetal’s Angina cause
Vasospasm- contractions of smooth muscle
NO CAD
Prinzmetal’s Angina dx
Inject coronaries with Ergonovine- vasospasm should occur and is diagnostic
ECG- ST elevation
Prinzmetal’s Angina trmt
Vasodilation with nitrate or CCB
cocaine use trmt
Benzodiazepines, nitrates, CCB
NO beta blockers, they cause alpha mediated vasoconstriction
cocaine use dx
stress test or cardiac cath
Syndrome X aka microvascular angina
Angina with dec blood flow to the heart
Vasospasm and/or small vessel disease with more pain perception
Coronary arteries look normal
dx Syndrome X aka microvascular angina
MRI may help confirm
trmt Syndrome X aka microvascular angina
beta blockers or nitrates
pathogenesis acs
Inflammation
Endothelial activation and fibrous cap is formed
Plaque and fibrous cap rupture causing prothrombin and thrombin to activate which obstructs blood flow
Platelets aggregate to form a thrombus
unstable angina dx
EKG changes
Normal cardiac markers
NSTEMI dx
High cardiac biomarkers- CK, CK-MB, myoglobin, troponin I
ECG- ST depression and T wave inversion
this acs has the highest mortality
