What is metabolic syndrome
insulin R hyperglycemia HTN inc TGs low HDL cholesterol obesity
metabolic syndrome increases risk of CAD by how much
2 fold
what are the conditional risk factors for CAD
homocysteine lipoprotein(a) hsCRP LDL particle size antioxidants omega 3 fatty acids intake
what conditional risk factors have been shown to dec risk CAD
antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids
what helps reduce risk factors for MI
aspirin, reduction BP, reduction HLD, smoking cessation, regular exercise
weight reduction and reduction of BMI <25
What are the Dx testing for MI
serum bio-markers: CK MB, troponin, LDH (1-5)
exercise stress test
pharmacological stress test
imaging augmentation
angiography
CT determined coronary artery calcium score
what is a stress test
every 3 min, grade and speed of treadmill goes up so myocardial O2 demand increases
what is HR maximum
220-age
what are the pharmacological ways for stress test
dobutamine ( inc cardiac O2 demand)
adenosine/dipyridamole (vasodilation)
What imaging do you order for suspected MI
nuclear and echo
angiography - golden standard for coronary occlusion
CT/MRI
what imaging is most useful for estimating coronary artery calcium scoring
CT/MRI
