- Males >45, females >55
- MI or stroke in 1st degree relative in men <55 or <65 in females
- Ethnicity
what are the 2 branches of ischemic heart disease?
stable angina and acute coronary syndromes
what are the 2 branches of ischemic heart disease?
stable angina and acute coronary syndromes
what is included under acute coronary syndromes?
non-ST elevation ACS and STEMI
what is included under acute coronary syndromes?
non-ST elevation ACS and STEMI
what are the 2 types of non-ST elevation ACS?
unstable angina and NSTEMI
what 4 things affect myocardial oxygen supply?
- arterial oxygen content
- coronary blood flow
- diastole
- vasospasm
what 3 things affect myocardial demand?
heart rate
contractility
myocardial wall tension
conditions like hyopthermia, hyperthyroidism, sympathomimetic toxicity, HTN, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, sustained tachycardia, anxiety _______(increase/decrease) myocardial oxygen ____(supply or demand)
increase demand
conditions like anemia, hypoxemia, sympathomimetic toxicity, sickle cell disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis and polycythemia ______(increase or decrease) myocardial oxygen _____(supply or demand)
decrease oxygen supply
what are the 4 trademarks of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis?
- repeated injury to endothelium
- chemical signals due to injury
- plaque formation
- reduced lumen size
what are some cardiac non-atherosclerotic conditions that cause angina-like syndromes?
aortic dissection, pericarditits, coronary artery vasospasm (Prinzmetal’s), valvular heart disease
what are some examples of non-cardiac non-atherosclerotic conditions that cause angina-like syndromes?
pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, pleuritic, esophageal reflux, PUD, anxiety, anemia
what is vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal’s pr variant angina)?
severe chest pain secondary to ischemia. Occurs at rest and cannot be reproduced by exercise. ECG with have ST elevations
what are some risk factors for vasospastic angina?
cigarette smoking, cocaine and alcohol use
what is syndrome X (microvascular angina)?
typical angina symptoms, ST depression on ECG, but no significant CAD seen on angiogram
microvascular angina (syndrome X) is more common in what patient population?
premenopausal women
what is silent myocardial ischemia?
ischemia is present, but patient doesnt experience angina. Typical ST changes on ECG at rest or with exercise
compare treatment of silent ischemia to IHD
treated similary, but there is less nitrate use bc symptoms relief is not needed at much
Describe the typical presentation of stable angina
- pressure or heavy weight on chest (crushing, burning, tightness)
- substernal, may radiate to jaw, shoulder, back, or arms
- 30 sec up to 20 min
what are some atypical symptoms of stable angina?
nausea, diaphoresis, SOB, anxiety
the atypical symptoms of stable angina are typically seen in what patient populations?
women and diabetic patients

the atypical symptoms of stable angina are typically seen in what patient populations?
women and diabetic patients
what are some precipitating factors of stable angina?
exercise, cold weather, after meals, emotional stress, sexual activity
what provides relief for stable angina?

describe Grade I stable angina
ordinary physical activity (walking, climbing stairs) does not cause angina, but strenuous, rapid, or prolonged exertion causes angina
describe Grade I stable angina
ordinary physical activity (walking, climbing stairs) does not cause angina, but strenuous, rapid, or prolonged exertion causes angina
describe Grade II angina
slight limitation of ordinary activity. Angina occurs when walking, climbing stairs rapidly, walking uphill, walking or going up stairs after meals, in the cold, under emotional stress, or only during the few hours after waking. Can walk more than 2 blocks on a level surface, and can climb more than one flight of stairs under normal conditions
describe Grade III angina
marked limitation of ordinary physical activity. Walking one or two blocks on a level surface and climbing one flight of stairs in normal conditions causes angina
describe Grade IV angina
inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Angina may be present at rest
what are the diagnostic tests for IHD?
ECG, exercise stress test, pharmacologic stress test, nuclear stress test, cardiac CT/MRI, cardiac catheterization
what are the main goals of therapy for stable angina?
- prevent disease progression (ex: ACS, stroke, MI etc and prevent worsening atherosclerosis)
- alleviate acute symptoms of ischemia (angina)
- prevent future symptoms of myocardial ischemia
- minimize ADRs of therapy
what are some lifestyle modifications that can reduce IHD risk?
smoking cessation, exercise, weight management, alcohol management, diet to control dyslipidemia, HTN, diabetes etc.

what are two types of revascularization?
PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) and CABG (coronary artery bypass graft)
