Chapter 9: Cardiac Flashcards
CAD
coronary artery disease
ASHD
atherosclerotic heart disease
same as CAD
MI
myocardial infarction
ASCVD
atherosclerotic/arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Stable Angina
occurs when it is precipitated by exertion and relived by rest or sublingual nitroglycerine
Unstable Angina
is an acute manifestation of ischemic heart disease between the spectrum of stable angina and acute MI
I20.0
Transmural
myocardial death progresses through the myocardial wall from the subendocardium to the subepicardium
Nontransmural (or subendocardial)
confinement of the infarction tot he subendocardium
