Exam 1 - Ischemic Heart Disease Flashcards
Who die more suddenly of ACS?
Women
Low risk unstable angina (5)
- <70
- Exertion also pain lasting <20min
- Pain not rapidly accelerating
- Normal/unchanged ECG
- No elevation of cardiac markers
Normal % Cardiac event:
20-25%
Mildly Abnormal % Cardiac Events:
25-30%
Severely Abnormal % Cardiac events:
45-50%
3 things of O2 demand:
- HR
- Contractility
- Wall tension (afterload/preload)
2 things of O2 supply:
- Coronary BF
2. Arterial O2 content
When does ischemia occurs with balance?
O2 demand > O2 supply
6 things that increase myocardial oxygen demand:
- Tachycardia
- HTN
- Thyrotoxicosis
- HF
- Valvular heart disease
- Catecholamine analogues (bronchodilators, tricyclic antidepressants, cocaine)
5 things that reduce myocardial oxygen supply:
- Anemia
- Hypoxia
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Hypotension
- Tachycardia
Chronic narrowing of coronary arteries due to:
Atherosclerosis
With atherosclerosis, can resistance coronary vessels dilate?
No
With atherosclerosis, when you increase O2 demand with exercise, can you increase O2 supply?
No and thats when you get ischemia and angina
2 treatment goals of stable ischemic heart disease:
- Prevent MI and death
2. Reduce symptoms of angina and occurrence of ischemia
6 things to reduce ischemia and anginal symptoms:
- Sublingual nitroglycerin
- Beta blockers
- Calcium channel blockers
- Long-acting nitrates
- Ranolazine
- Non-pharmacological treatments (PCI/CABG)
What increase capacitance and decrease preload; venous?
Nitrates
What decrease resistance, pressure, and afterload; arterial?
Calcium channel blockers
What decrease HR and inotropy; heart?
Beat blockers
What 5 things prevent MI and death?
- Aspirin (consider adding P2Y12 inhibitor or rivaroxaban)
- Statins
- BP control (goal <130/80; BB/ACE-I/ARB)
- Control DM
- Non-pharmacological (diet, exercise, wt loss, stop smoking)
4 different acute causes of myocardial O2 supply-demand mismatch:
- Plaque rupture/erosion with occlusive thrombus
- Vasospasm or coronary micro vascular dysfunction
- Atherosclerosis & O2 supply/demand imbalance
- O2 supply/demand imbalance alone
