Investigationan And Management Of Patiens With Acute Coronary Syndrome Flashcards

1
Q

What is an acute coronary syndrome?

A

When a coronary artery thickens and the atherosclerotic plaque ruptures releasing thrombogenic material leading to thrombus formation

Q

If a patient does not have ST-segment elevation how can you tell they have had a myocardial infarction?

A

Retro sternal chest pain radiating the jaw and/or shoulder
Elevated troponin
Pathological Q waves
Intracoronary thrombus on angioplasty

Q

What is a Type 1 Myocardial Infarction?

A

Atherosclerotic plaque ruptures which leads to an intraluminal thrombus forming leading to myocardial necrosis

Q

What is a Type 2 Myocardial Infarction?

A

When an MI occurs as a result of something other than a coronary plaques instability

Due to supply and demand mismatch

Q

If the right coronary artery gets occluded what happens to the the heart rate?

A

Reduces due to the right coronary artery supplying the SAN and AVN

Q

How can NSTEMI be managed?

A

Antiplatelet (Aspirin)
Anti-Ischaemic (Bisoprolol/Slows heart) Atenolol is just an older version of Bisoprolol, Bisoprolol is even more cardiac specific than Atenolol

Statins (Atorvastatin)

ACE inhibitors

17
Q

What must happen if a patient has ongoing chest pain and dynamic ECG changes?

A

Urgent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

18
Q

When doing a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, what arteries does the balloon angioplasty pass through to reach the coronary artery?

A

Radial artery
Brachial artery
Axillary artery
Subclavian artery
Aorta then Coronary artery

19
Q

What lifestyle changes could somebody do to reduce risk factors of acute coronary syndrome?

A

Low fat diet
Regular exercise
Low salt
Smoking cessation

20
Q

What does Bisoprolol do?

A

Decrease HR
B1 adrenergic receptor antagonist

21

If there is ST elevation here what coronary artery is occluded?

A

Inferior wall

Right Coronary Artery

22
Q

What area of the heart is being looked at by Lead V1, V2, V3 and V4?

If there is ST elevation here what coronary artery is occluded?

A
