IHD Flashcards
Typical angina
3/3
- supsternal chest pain
- worse with exertion
- relieved with rest / NG
Atypical angina ( Angina equivalent )
2/3
- shortness of breath (dyspnea), diaphoresis (sweating), extreme fatigue, or pain at a site other than the chest, occurring in a patient at high cardiac risk
Medications that lowers mortality in ACS:
๐ Aspirin / DAPT
๐ Statins
๐ ร-blockers
๐ ACE-i
The most important preventable risk factor for CAD is [โฆ]
smoking ๐ฌ
In the management of Stable angina
1. ECG : non specific ST / T wave changes
2. Troponin : normal
3. [โฆ]
Repeat troponin 6 hours after
medications for NSTEMI :
๐ธ DAPT (Aspirin/Clopidogrel)
๐ธ ร-blocker
๐ธ ACE-i
๐ธ Statins
๐ธ Heparin
๐ธNitroglycerin
๐ธ Morphine
๐ธ GP iib/iiia inhibitors
What is the role of PCI and tPA in ACS
thrombolytics only for STEMI
โช๏ธ PCI within first 90 min
โช๏ธtPA if presented late or PCI fail
๐ด CABG: reserved for cardiogenic shock, Arrhythmias, Mechanical complications of MI
Contraindications of theombolytics:
- Coagulopathy / active bleeding
- recent surgery or trauma
- recent stroke
- Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm
Patient present with MI
Hypotensive and bradycardia
What is your first line management ?
Atropin
Patient present with MI
Was managed by PCI
On warfarin for AF
What is the best management regarding his anticoagulation therapy?
โ๏ธ Continue warfarin
โ๏ธ add DAPT
medications for STEMI :
๐ธ DAPT (Aspirin/Clopidogrel)
๐ธ ร-blocker
๐ธ ACE-i
๐ธ Statins
๐ธ Heparin (only after tPA)
๐ธNitroglycerin
๐ธ Morphine
๐ธ thrombolytics (but PCI is superior)
