IHD - Early Managment of ACS (STEMI NSTEMI, UNSTABLE ANGINA) Flashcards
ACS Subtypes
- myocardial damage
- biochemical marker realease?
UA
- transient partial blockage does not result in myocardial damage, no biochemical markers released
NSTEMI
- similar to UA however myocardial cell damage does occur and release of biomarkers
STEMI
- fully occlusive clot, myocardial damage and release of biochemical markers
what is a big diagnosis factor medication wise for ACS?
no relief from SL nitroglycerin
ECG elements
P wave
QRS wave
T wave
p wave
- atrial depolarization
QRS wave
- ventricular depolarization
T wave
- ventricular polarization
when shoudl eck be done? what can it tell us?
done within 10 minutes of arrival to ER with ischemic chest pain
can show:
STEMI - St elevation, Q wave can show previous completed STEMI
NSTEMI - ST depression or T wave inversion (indicates ongoing ischmia)
what are some lab findings we should be aware of?
biochemical markers can be release when there is myocardial cell death
Biochemical markers:
- Troponin, CK, and MB (for myocardial necrosis)
if STEMi detected what drugs?
fibronoltyics
ACS diagnosis:
SX
ECG Changes
Cardiac biomarkers
for UA, NSTEMI, and STEMI
UA
- SX: yes
- ECG changes: none
- cardaic biomarkers: none
NSTEMI
- SX: yes
ECG changesL T wave inversion, ST depression, no cahnge
- Cardiac biomarkers increase Troponin, CK and MB
STEMI
- SX: yes
-ECG: ST segemnt elevation
- - Cardiac biomarkers increase Troponin, CK and MB
acaute mangemnt goal of STEMI
iniitial goal is reperfusion
P2Y12 agents
prasugrel, ticagrel, cangrel, clopdirogrel
thrombolysis agents and MOA
- alteplase or tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
- Reteplase (rTA)
- Tenecteplase (TNK)
MOA: convernt plasminogen to plasmin whihc helps in cell lysis
antipltent agents
ASA, prasugrel, ticagrel, cangrel, clopdirogrel
anticoagulants for STEMI
UFH, LMWH, bivalirudin
treatment guideline for STEMI
ST segemnt elevation - intial supportive care - if more then 120 minutes fibrionoltics otherwise PCI - then initiate antiplatlet therpay - initaie anticoagulant therpy
what is rpefered for STEMi PCI or thrombolysis?
PCI preferedd
however more then 120 minutes we do thrombolysis
why do we use antiplatlets and anticoagulants
prevent further clot formation
Thrombolytics
- reperfusion time
- failure rate
- re occlusion rate
- when can we give (timeframe)
- reperfusion time : 45- 60 plus minutes
- failure rate : 16-40% of time
- re occlusion rate : 15-15%
- when can we give (timeframe) : 12 hours of onset of sx (preferred 3 hours to give it)
can we give thrombolytics in the following?
- preg
- dementia
- uncontrolled HTN
- hemorrhagic stroke
- active bleed
- elevated CRP
NO
Thrombolytics ADE
bleeding - including hemorrhagic stroke
