CV 16 Flashcards
Obstructive CAD
greater than 50% diameter stenosis and fractional flow reserve less than 0.8 during coronary angiography
INOCA
ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries. Syndrome of pts with either symptoms and/or signs or ischemia but found to have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD)
Vasospastic Angina
reproduction of angina symptoms, ischemic ECG changes with greater than 90% constriction in major epicardial artery
Microvascular Angina
No obstructive CAD plus objective evidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (as defined by abnormal response to intracoronary acetylcholine and/or systemic adenosine)
CAD
build up of fat and cholesterol which causes plaques in the coronary arteries, resulting in blocks of blood flow to the heart
what is angina/ischemia
chest pain or discomfort caused by CAD, when the heart muscle doesnt get adequate blood supply
Class 1 recommendation
Benefit > risk , is recommended, strong
Class 2a recommendation
benefit > risk, moderate, suggested
Class 2b
Weak, benefit greater than or equal to risk, can be considered.
class 3 moderate
no benefit, benefit = risk. not recommended
class 3 strong
risk > benefit, potentially harmful
risk factors for MACE
age, male sex, poor social support, poverty, access
Risk factors for MACE Medical history
elevated BMI, previous MI, HF, AF, DM, dyslipidemia, CKD, smoking, depression, poor adherance to therapy
4 goals of treatment for CCD
decrease cardiac death, nonfatal ischemic events, disease progression, symptoms and functional limitations
In patients with CCD, no NHP and supplements help
NO!
what type of diets should be recommended to CCD patients
vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein.
Anti-anginal therapy for symptom relief
nitrates (SL and long acting products)
Beta Blockers
Calcium Channel Blockers
2nd line: Novel anti-anginals (ranolazine, ivabradine only if HFrEF
Therapy to prevent MI/Death
Anti-platelets (ASA +/- Clopidogrel/ticagrelor)
anti thrombotic agents (riveroxaban)
beta blockers (only if recent MI or HFrEF)
RAAS blockers (ACEI or ARB)
Immunization
Colchicine
what do you do if someone has vasospastic angina
dont treat with beta blockers, first with CCB then nitrates if still symptomatic
which drugs to avoid in vasospastic angina
drugs that cause vasospasm
- non selective beta blockers
- triptans for migraines
- 5-fluorouracil
