Ischemic Heart Disease Flashcards
What kind of chest pains exist?
Acute or Chronic
what does ischemic refere to
decreases supply of oxygeeated blood
insuffienct to meet demenads
what angina pectoris
chest pain due to IHD
Stable IHD
Chronic Stable angine
what is acute coronary syndrome
ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
non-ST elevation acute cornonary syndrome NSTEACS
- unstable angine
- non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)
locations of atherosclerotic syndrome
Coronary arteries -CAD
Peripheral arteries - PAD
cerebral or carotid arteries - cerebrovascular disease
aortic arthosclerosis
non- modified risk factors
family history
sex
age
ethnicity
modifiable risk factors
smoking
excersise
diet
DM
CKD
HTN
Dyslipdemia
chronic conditions
inflammation
illicit drugs
poor nutrition
obessity
stress
what is ASCVD
atherosclerotic cadriac disease includes atherosclerosis, coronary arter disease, myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia
what is the porblem with myocardial remodeling
not as good as intial heart set up so can lead to death
clcinical presenttaion chest pain
crushing, squeezing, or tightness
location: beneath sternum - substernal
may radiate to left arm, jaw should or back or could have atypical presenttaion
evaulkation of risk via what two tools
1/ coronary artery calium (CAC) score
- CT scan to see amount of calcification
- no contrast
- 0 good
- pqrst
-p - precipating or provoking factors, pallitive measure
- q - quality of pain
- r- radiating and region
- s - severity of pian
- t- timing or temporal patterm
stadnard diagnostic test
12- lead ECG
what is a cardiac cath and when is it used
- gold standrad for diagnosisng CAD
- dye involved
0 high risk
diagnosis flow cart
Acute pain - yes - ECG - cardiac cause - yes- STEMI - no - ACS
if not acute - evalute for stable
if not cardiac cause evaulte for other ccauses
if STEMI follow STEMI guidlines
Angina vs STEMI or NSTEMI
Angina - SOB
STEMI or NSTEMI - Diaphoresis, nausea, SOB, vomiting, syncope
