Stable Angina, indicates they have a what percentage occlussion?
70%
What does the release of adenosine and bradykinin do to improve the balance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand?
- Slow atrioventicular conduction
- Decrease cardiac contractility.

- Heaviness
What 2 types of patient might have abnormal or no cardiac symptoms for IHD?
- Women
- Diabetes
What 3 non-medical factors induce angina?
- Physical exertion
- emotional tension
- cold weather
What is Chronic Stable Angina?
- Chest pain does not change in frequency or severity in 2- month period.
What is unstable angina?
*Chest pain that lasts longer than 10 minutes
* Chest pain increasing in frequency and/or severity without increase in cardiac biomarkers
What degree occlussion does someone have with chest pain that does not go away with rest or nitro?
- 90-100%
Cardiac conditions that cause chest pain
- Angina

- gallbladder disease
- pancreatitis
Musculoskeletal disorders that can cause chest pain.
- costochondritis
- Cervical disk disease
- trauma or strain
Infectious conditions that can cause chest pain
- herpes zoster
Psychological conditions that can cause chest pain.
- Panic disorder
What does an EKG show for IHD?
- ST segment depression
- Associated T wave inversion
- ST elevation
How can you diagnosis IHD?
- 12 lead EKG
- Exercise Stress Test
What medications can you give for an Amniotic Fluid embolism?
- Toradol
- Zofran
What labs should you order for ISD?
- Serial Troponins
The ____ the degree of ST- segment depression, the ____ the likelihood of significant coronary artery disease.
- greater
- greater
What has a greater sensitivity than exercise testing for detection of ischemic heart disease
Nuclear Stress Test
Why do we use Nuclear Stress tests to diagnose ISH?
- Greater sensitivity
- Assesses coronary perfusion
- determines size of perfusion abnomality
- Estimates LV systolic size and function
- differentiates old vs new MI
What tracers are used during Stress Tests?
- Thallium
- Atropine, doBUTamine, pacing
- adenosine, dipyridamole
What does an Echocardiography show?
- Wall motion abnomalities
- Valvular function
What does a Coronary angiography show?
- determines location of occlusive disease
- diagnose Prinzmetal angina
- Assess results of angioplasty/stenting
- DOES NOT measure stability of plaque
What is variant angina?
- coronary vasospasm
How do we treat variant angina?
- Calcium Channel Blockers
- Verapomil
Treatment of IHD (nonmedications)?
- Cessation of smoking
- Ideal body weight
- diet
- exercise
- treatment of hypertension
Mortality differences between young people and old people with MIs?
- Collateral Circulation, old people will survive
Medication to treat IHD?
- ASA
- platelet glycoproteinIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist
- Thienopyridines (P2Y12 inhibitor)
- Nitrates
- BB
- CCB
- ACE-i
- Statins
ASA
- inhibits COX-1… thromboxane A2
- Irreversible, platelet life span(7-14 days)
- 75 -325 mg/day
Thienopyridines (P2Y-12 inhibitors)
- clopidogrel
- Prasugrel (effient)
Clopidogrel
- Inhibits ADP receptor P2Y-12 and platelet aggregation
- Irreversible, platelet life span
- D/C ~ 80% of platelets recover to normal function
- PRODRUG — 10-20% of people hypo/hyper response; PPI
Prasugrel (Effient)
- Inhibits ADP receptor P2Y12 and platelet aggregation
- Higher risk of bleeding
- MORE POTENT and PREDICTABLE THAN PLAVIX
Nitrates
- Dilate coronary arteries and collaterals
- Decrease peripheral vascular resistance
- Decreases preload
- Potential anti-thrombotic effects
Nitrates drug interactions
- Synergistic with beta-blockers/calcium channel blockers
- Contraindicated with aortic stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Beta Blockers
- Only drug to prolong life in CAD pts
- Anti-ischemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-dysrhythmic
- Decreases risk of death and reinfarction in MI pts
What does blocking B1 do?
*decreases Heart rate
* increases diastolic time
* decreases myocardial contractility
* decreases myocardial oxygen demand
Name 4 B-1 blockers
- atenolol
- metoprolol
- acebutolol
- bisprolol
Name (2) B-2 adrenergic blockers? And what do you need to be concerned about?
- propanolol
- nadolol
- Pulmonary complications
Calcium Channel Blockers
- Uniquely effective for decreasing frequency/severity of spasm
- Dilate coronary arteries
- Decrease
1. Vascular smooth muscle tone
2. Contractility
3. Oxygen consumption
4. Systemic BP
ACE inhibitors
- stops the angiotensin convering enzyme from converting angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2
- Treats:
1. HTN
2. Heart Failure
3. Cardioprotective
What does Angiotensin increase?
