Q

What is the occurrence pattern of unstable angina?

A

Episodes of chest pain becomes progressively more frequent and longer over a 3-4 day period

21
Q

What type of angina is likely to progress to myocardial infarction?

A

Unstable angina (Crescendo, pre-infarction, accelerated)

22
Q

What is myocardial infarct?

A

Death of myocardial tissue due to inadequate perfusion

23
Q

What are the two types of myocardial infarcts?

A

Subendocardial and transmural

24
Q

What is the main etiology of a subendocardial infarct?

A

Hypoperfusion

25
Q

What part of the heart is affected by a subendocardial infarct?

A

Inner 1/3-1/2 of the left ventricle

26
Q

What is a transmural infarct?

A

Infarct involving the full thickness of the left ventricle usually after the occlusion of a coronary artery

27
Q

What is the main etiology of a transmural infarct?

A

Coronary artery occlusion via thromboembolism

28
Q

What major coronary arteries are chiefly occluded in a transmural infarct?

A

Right coronary artery
Anterior interventricular artery
Left circumflex artery

29
Q

What does a right coronary artery occlusion infarct?

A

Infarct of the posterior basal region of the left ventricle and the posterior third to half of the interventricular septum?

30
Q

What artery is occluded in an inferior infarct?

A

Right coronary artery

31
Q

What does an anterior interventricular artery occlusion infarct?

A

Infarct of the apical, anterior, and anteroseptal walls of the left ventricle

32
Q

What does a left circumflex artery occlusion infarct?

A

Infarct of the lateral left ventricle wall

33
Q

What is the least common artery occluded in a transmural infarct?

A

Left circumflex artery

34
Q

What enzymes are increased in a patient experiencing a myocardial infarct?

A

Intracellular proteins such as: Troponin I or T, Creatine Kinase, myoglobin, and Lactate Dehydrogenase

35
Q

What pattern of necrosis is evident in a patient suffering from a myocardial infarct?

A

Coagulative necrosis

36
Q

What occurs 24 hours after a MI?

A
  • Coagulative necrosis with clumping/loss of nuclei and organelles
  • Eosinophilia
  • Neutrophils migrate in
37
Q

What occurs 2-3 days after a MI?

A

Neutrophils migrate to the periphery of an infarct

38
Q

What occurs 5-7 days after a MI?

A

Neutrophils are replaced by macrophages

39
Q

What occurs 1-3 weeks after a MI?

A

Progressive type III collagenization and pre-scar formation

40
Q

What artery is occluded in a patient post MI who is experience arrhythmia or conduction anomalies? What side of the heart was infarcted?

A

Right coronary artery, right

41
Q

What are complications post-MI?

A

Arrhythmia/conduction anomalies
Heart failure
Shock
Thromboembolism
Pericarditis
Aneurysm/rupture

42
Q

What type of infarct commonly causes pericarditis?

A

Transmural infarct

43
Q

What is the biggest concern for a patient recovering from a myocardial infarct one week post?

A

Cardiac tamponade or rupture

44
Q

Hemopericardium indicates a (Small/Large) rupture?

A

Small

45
Q

Cardiac tamponade indicates a (Small/Large) rupture?

A

Large

What murmur is seen in a patient with pericarditis?

A

Pericardial friction rub

47
Q

What inflammatory exudate is present in pericarditis and surrounding areas of myocardial infarcts?

A

Fibrinous exudate

48
Q

What is the presentation of a fibrinous exudate?

A

Shaggy, bread and butter, or mayonnaise appearance

49
Q

When is a patient who has just suffered from a myocardial infarct most at risk for cardiac tamponade or rupture?

A

One week post MI
