Q

Angina Patho? Atherosclerosis

A
  • Atherosclerosis
  1. Lipid deposition
  2. Atheroma
  3. Calcification / fibrosis

Fat gets stucky and sits on the surface and accumulates -
HTN usually involved so we have high pressure hitting this hunk of lipids and it can rupture or embolism and then there is a tear in the endothelial and then body is going to repair ir and then platelets come in and try and fix it and then the entire vessel gets narrowed completely THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTNAT TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE ASA.

Q

Angina Physical exam findings?

A

May be normal

Levine sign - clenching chest

Hypertension

Tachycardia

Xanthelasma - fatty yellow deposits - indicating high cholesterol

always watch a patient VITALS! - do not ignore them - which risk management ( young can get toasted if you did not address abnormal vitals) - tachycardia does not just happen… it is trying to compensate for something - you always want to normalize the vitals if and before you send them home or to ED

Q

Stable and Unstable angina tx for chronic management?

A
  1. Aspirin- decrease chance of MI, improves mortality
  2. Long acting nitrates - decreases episodes during day, but they become less affective over time (periods of break to keep affetc)
  3. Beta blocker - improves mortality
  4. Ranolazine- SCB - improves exercise capability - help with ability to exercise but still be careful cause it prolongs QT (liver disease)
  5. Comorbidities ( treat these!)
    Statin - high cholesterol (low, moderate or high potency - for high risk)
    ACEI - for coronary disease + HTN
  6. Revascularization - after trying all these above and still symptomatic at rest
