Exam 2 Flashcards
ischemia
deficient supply of blood to body part that is due to obstruction of inflow of arterial blood
chronic stable angina
pattern of predictable transient chest discomfort during exertion/emotional stress
unstable angina
sudden increase in tempo and duration of ischemic episodes
ischemic symptoms at rest
determinants of myocardial oxygen supply
oxygen content - hemoglobin concentration, o2 saturation
coronary blood flow - Q = P/R
coronary perfusion during diastole
coronary vascular resistance greatest during systole
determinants of myocardial oxygen demand
heart rate
contractility
ventricular wall stress
clinical presentation of stable ischemic heart disease
Precipitating factor - exertion
Palliative measure - rest/NTG
Quality of pain - squeezing, aching, crushing, burning, heavy, tightness
Region - substernal, above diaphragm
Severity - subjective but mostly over 5 out of 10
Temporal pattern- lasts less than 20 min and relieved in 5 - 10 min
typical anginal characteristics
substernal chest discomfort
provoked by exertion/emotional stress
relief by rest/NTG
atypical anginal characteristics
SOB, anxiety, weakness, heartburn, indigestion
people prone to atypical angina characteristics
women, older adults, DM patients
modifiable risk factors for angina
tobacco usage hyperlipidemia hypertension obesity physical activity stress diabetes
Diagnostic Testing
12 lead ECG - 1st line
exercise stress testing
pharmacologic stress imaging
cardiac catheterization- coronary angiography- contrast dye injected into catheter in femoral/radial arteries
Biomarkers
BNP - cardiac hormone synth in LV in response to increase ventricular volume/pressure.
NT-proBNP
Cardiac troponin - release when there is myocyte death
Medical Management of Angina Symptoms
SL nitroglycerin/spray - immediate relief of angina
BB- initial tx
CCB/Nitrates - when BB contraindicated or unacceptable AE
CCB/Nitrate combo w/BB when tx w/BB unsuccessful

heart rate
blood pressure
Target HR from BB
55 - 60 bpm
avoid _______ of BB- it can worsen angina MI
abrupt discontinuation
HTN and SIDH
Avoid BB w/ISA
Atenolol - not used since it is less effective than placebo
CCB - 2 types
DHP- felodipine, amlodipine, nifedipine
Non-DHP- verapamil, diltiazem
CCB DDIs

avoid non-DHP w/ BB (AE on AV nodal conduction, HR, cardiac contractility)
DHP AE
peripheral edema, dizziness, HA, gingival hyperplasia
non DHP AE
worsening of systolic dysfunction, conduction defects, peripheral edema, HA, nausea
Non- DHP contraindications
