Ischemic Heart Disease Flashcards
O2 supply/demand mismatch for the whole body
shock
O2 supply/demand mismatch for the heart
ischemic heart disease
common symptom of ischemia
angina (chest pain)
high-risk plaque; can rupture
vulnerable (unstable) plaque
development of blood vessels
angiogenesis
development of new blood vessels from a pre-existing vasculature
neoangiogenesis
why does tachycardia produce ischemia (why intense workout can elicit MI)
diastole shortens
ischemic heart disease (IHD) aka
coronary artery disease (CAD)
3 main types of IHD/CAD
- vasospastic
- stable (chronic)
- thromboembolic
type of IHD/CAD very prone to rupture
thromboembolic
type of IHD/CAD not likely to rupture
stable IHD (stable angina)
another name for vasospastic IHD
Variant angina
spastic coronary artery restricts flow and decreases O2 supply=
ischemia; Supply Angina
during exercise, stenotic coronary artery can’t meet O2 demand=
ischemia; Demand Angina
thrombus/thromboembolism occludes coronary flow=
ischemia; Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
thromboembolic occlusion of coronary flow can lead to what 4 things
unstable angina
NSTEMI
STEMI
sudden cardiac death
type of angina due to vasoconstriction “Supply angina”
Prinzmetal (variant) angina
type of angina due to increased cardiac workload “Demand angina”
stable angina
leading cause of death nationally and internationally
Ischemic Heart Disease/Coronary Artery Disease
most common etiology of IHD
atherosclerotic obstruction
4 other non-atherosclerotc obstruction leading to IHD
myocardial bridging
microvascular angina
Prinzmetal
radiation-induced
coronary artery prematurely enters myocardium
myocardial bridging
total occlusion in the absence of collaterals </= 20 min
reversible damage
total occlusion in the absence of collaterals > 20 min
permanent damage
3 main ECG findings with ischemia
T inversion
ST elevation
ST depression
discomfort location of angina/MI patient
retrosternal pain
radiation of angina where
interscapular, arm
epigastric location of angina seen in
elderly and women
retrosternal _____ caused by myocardial ischemia due to stenosis or spasm of coronary arteries
discomfort
4 cardinal clinical features of angina discomfort
character
site/radiation
provocation factors
duration
lasts b/t 2-5 min
angina
provoked by exertion/stress
angina
relieved by rest/nitroglycerin
angina
clenched fist over the sternum (sign of angina)
Levine’s sign
does not radiate to trapezius m. unlike in pericarditis
angina
3 main provocation factors for angina
exertion
emotion
rest
2-3 min of discomfort
Prinzmetal angina
stable angina duration
2-5 min
