Q

What steps are involved in PCI?

A

Put patient on anticoagulant + antiplatelets
Catheter to ostium of coronary artery and then feed wire down vessel
Balloon on wire inflated to allow stent to attach to vessel
Ballon, catheter and wire removed, leaving stent in place to open artery

Q

GRACE score

A

patient with low risk and going for PCI SHOULD BE GIVEN Prasugrel or trigrelor. However pateitns with high risk bleeding are given PO clopidogrel 300g

17
Q

Managment for unstable angina

A

Similar to NSTEMI
asprin for all patietn and pateints with high GRACE score are given fondaparinux and early angiography

18
Q

investigations for post MI

A

ECHO
Cardiac ehabilitation
ischaemia test to assess for inducible ischaemia

19
Q

vertical arrathemia can happen post MI why

A

after reprfusion or cardaic catherisation

20
Q

where heart block happen in post MI

A

fllowing inferior infracts

21
Q

aneurysm happen where in post MI

A

fallowing an anterior MI
however it maybe silent fallowed by arrhtmias or embloic event

22
Q

post MI can casues ventricular spetec defect what are the symptoms

A

Hypotension
palpabel parasternal thrill

23
Q

What are the risk factors for plague formation BAD HART

A

BMI more or equal to 30 obesity
Age more or equal to 65
Diabetes
EtOH
An increase in LDL
Relatives with CAD who passed away from MI
Tobacco

24

Stable plaque covers by strong fibrous cap

25
Q

Some of the features of subendocardial infection ninja nerd

A

Chest pain occurs at rest
Thrombus formation
Near Total occlusion of coronary vessels
Unreversed for at least 30 meant will cause infraction

A

Unstable angina
NSTEMI
STEMI

27
