Q

Atherogenesis definition?

A

Development of plaques due to:
oxidation of lipids ->
deposited in intima
(innermost layer of artery, made of endothelial cells)
->
inflammatory process that produces foam cells

Q

Prinzmetal’s Angina tx?

A

nitrates

Ca2+ channel blocker

21
Q

Stable Angina tests?

A

ECG = St-T wave ∆s during chest pain only
Exercise Stress Test = try to reproduce ischemia
Imaging: ECG, Echo, Nuclear

22
Q

Stress Echo + for ischemia if?

A

wall mvmt abnorm w/ stress

23
Q

Coronary Angiography gold standard for?

A

CAD diagnosis

Doesn’t show vulnerable plaques

24
Q

Best test for vulnarable plaques?

A

intracoronary US

25
Q

IHD tx?

A

tx sxs, not prevention

26
Q

Stable Angina tx?

A
↓risk factors
nitrates
β blockers
Ca2+ channel blockers
anti-platelte meds
revascularization
27
Q

Nitrates do what?

A

↓ O2 demand and ↑ O2 supply

thru preload reduction

28
Q

β blockers do what?

A

FIRST LINE for chronic angina
↓ O2 demand
thru ↓ HR, BP, contractility

29
Q

Ca2+ Channel Blockers do what?

A

For pt’s who don’t respond to nitrates or β blockers

Vasodilators
↓ O2 demand and ↑ O2 supply
thru ↓ BP, contractility

30
Q

Anti-platelet med names?

A

asprin

plavix

31
Q

2 kinds of revascularization?

A

PCI

CABG

32
Q

PCI is?

Do when?

A

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention:
w/ or w/o stent placement

angina despite tx
evidence of ischemia on stress test

33
Q

CABG is?

Do when?

A

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

L main coronary stenosis
triple vessel dx

34
Q

ACS present as?

A

unstable angina
Non-ST seg elevation MI (NSTEMI)
ST-seg elevation MI (STEMI)
atypical angina sxs

35
Q

4 UnstbAngina/NSTEMI (P) pathophys processes?

A

1) plaque erupt w/ nonocclusive thrombus (C)
2) dynamic obstruction (e.g. spasm)
3) progressive mechanical obstruction (athsclero post PCI)
4) UA 2º to ↑ O2 demand or ↓ supply (e.g anemia or tachycard)

36
Q

Tests that differentiate UA from NSTEMI?

A

UA:
no ↑ of CK-MB or Troponin
(P) ST depress or T wave invert

NSTEMI:
↑ of CK-MB or Troponin
