Ischemic heart disease Flashcards
modifiable risk factors
smoking dyslipidemia diabetes hypertension chronic kidney disease physical inactivity poor diet obesity depression drugs
nonmodifiable risk factors
men over 40 women over 50 or postmenopausal male sex family history of premature CV disease ethnicity
difference between stable and unstable angina
in stable there is a fixed atherosclerotic plaque that has a thick fibrous cap
in unstable the plaque is disrupted
define ischemia
mismatch between coronary oxygen supply and demand
what can increase myocardial oxygen demand
heart rate
contractility
intramyocardial wall tension
3 examples of causes of increased oxygen demand
tachycardia
hypertension
hyperthyroidism
what can affect myocardial oxygen delivery
coronary blood flow
oxygen extraction
oxygen availability
examples of decrease oxygen delivery
coronary artery disease, anemia, COPD
clinical symptoms of chronic stable angina
chest pain - pressure, squeezing, crushing, tightness shortness of breath sweating nausea weakness gradual onset
where and how long do the symptoms last
.5-30min
left sided radiation to arm, shoulder, jaw
precipitating factors for chronic stbale angina
exercise cold walking after a large meal emotions coitus
chronic stable angina response to nitro
relief of pain within 45s to 5 min
describe ccs class 1 angina
ordinary physical activity doesnt cause angina
angina with strenuous exertion
describe ccs class 2 angina
slight limitation of ordinary activity
angina from walking more than 2 blockd or climbing more than 1 flight of stairs
ccs class 3 angina
marked limitations of ordinary physical activity
angina walking 1-2 blocks and climbing 1 set of stairs
ccs class 4 angina
inability to carry any physical activity without discomfort anginal symptoms at rest
what is the diagnosis of stable angina based on
symptoms
risk factors
diagnostic tests
what is the stress test
measures the hearts reaction to increased oxygen demand
exercise or pharmacologic agents to induce stress
ECG and BP taken before during an after stress induced
what is the mibi stress test
use of radioisotope with stress test
imaging taken to record pattern of radioactivity distribution to various parts of myocardium
difference in uptake in certain areas indicate potential ischemic sites
what is echocardiography and when is it indicated
measures left ventricular systolic function
indicated when heart failure suspected
what is an angiogram
contrast material that can be seen using xray equipment is injected into the coronary arteries to visualize blood flow through the heart
catheter through the femoral up to the heart
provides real time visualization of coronary blood flow
who is angiogram indicated for
patients with high risk features during stress test or if severe angina, diabetic
how do you describe pain (PQRST)
provoking factors quality of pain region severity timing
goals of therapy
relieve acute symptosm prevent recurrent symptoms maintain activity level and quality of life reduce CV complications minimize risk of death
how do beta blockers reduce cardiac oxygen demand
decrease heart rate, contractility, and intramyocardial wall tension
what is first line for treatment of chronic stable angina
beta blocker
abrupt withdrawal of BB may increase severity and number of pain episodes so what should you do
taper over 10-14 days
what might beta blockers worsen the symptoms of
reactive airway disease
peripheral artery disease
what can happen after chronic use of beta blockers
changes the beta receptors, if dont taper off could have rebound ischemia
why should you caution beta blockers in diabetes
may worsen hyperglycemia by inhibiting insulin release on pancreatic beta cells
masks symptoms of hypoglycemia**
which beta blockers should you avoid in severe angina
agents with intrinsic sympathic activities
what dose does metoprolol lose its selectivity
200mg/day
which beta blockers have evidence for decreasing mortality post mi
timolol
propranolol
metoprolol
cardio selective beta blockers
atenolol
bisoprolol
metoprolol
non selective beta blockers
nadolol
propranolol
timolol
mixed alpha and beta blocker
carvediol
note: more orthostatic hypotension
