Q

What are some risk factors for IHD?

  • Age
  • HTN
  • Diabetes
  • Gender
  • Smoking Hx
  • Physical Inactivity
  • Obesity
  • Hyperecholestermia/Hyperlidemia
  • High levels of stress
  • Family history
  • Poor diet
17
Q

What are some common symptoms of IHD?

A
  • chest pain or discomfort (tightness or fullness)
  • pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the jaw, neck, back, or stomach
  • SOB
  • dizzy or lightheaded
  • nausea
  • sweating
18
Q

How is IHD diagnosed?

A

Blood testing for:

  • cardiac enzymes (troponin and creatine kinase)
  • C-reactive protein
  • Homocysteine
  • Abnormal lipid profile
  • Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
  • prothrombin

OR ECG alterations

19
Q

What is ischemic cardiomyopathy?

A

In Ischemic CM, the heart’s ability to pump blood is decreased because the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged, dilated and weak. This is caused by ischemia, which is a lack of blood supply to the heart muscle caused by coronary artery disease and heart attacks.

20
Q

One can live with ischemic CM for a long time, but the constant cardiac ischemia results in what?

A

Irreversible myocyte damage that in turn results in cardiac remodeling

21
Q

Worsening _____ is a precursor of ischemic cardiomyopathy.

A

CAD

22
Q

___________ is often the most common form of presentation for ICM. The prognosis for ICM is largely determined by what?

A
  • Heart Failure (HF)

- myocardial viability

23
Q

What scan allows for physicians to determine myocardial viability?

A

Cardiac PET scan

24
Q

A

ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE: PART 2

25
Q

Angina pectoris (stable or unstable) can lead to what?

A
  • MI
  • Sudden cardiac death
  • Ischemic cardiomyopathy
26
Q

Angina Pectoris (stable) is intermittent chest pain caused by transient but ___________ myocardial ischemia.

A

reversible

27
Q

Stable Angina:

  • Caused by a mismatch between O2 _________ and ______.
  • Brought on by _______ or other form of stress.
  • Occurs at a _________ heart rate.
  • Crushing or squeezing substernal sensation with possible ________.
  • Reduction in stress reduces symptoms.
  • __________ used to treat.
A
  • delivery and need
  • exertion
  • predictable
  • radiation
  • nitroglycerin
28
Q

What are the functional classifications of angina?

A

Class I = occurs after prolonged exertion
Class II = walking >2 blocks or >1 flight of stairs
Class III = walking <2 blocks or <1 flight of stairs
Class IV = occurs at minimal exertion or rest

29
Q

Unstable Angina:

  • Brought on by _______ or other form of stress.
  • Onset is _________.
  • Crushing or squeezing substernal sensation with possible _________ to the arm.
  • Harbinger of bad things to come-____ prognosis.
A
  • exertion
  • unpredictable
  • radiation
  • poor
30
Q
  • Is nitroglycerin of benefit for unstable angina?

- Why is unstable angina thought to occur?

A
  • May be of benefit

- Acute plaque changes and/or coronary artery vasospasm

31
Q

What are 2 ways MI’s occur?

A
  • Plaque rupture which exposes thrombogenic lipids to the blood, stimulating localized thrombus formation with ischemic outcomes.
  • Occlusive event- damage is dependent on coronary artery involved and time until treated.
32
Q

If an ischemic insult is sufficiently long, _____ damage and death results.

A

tissue (TIME IS TISSUE)

33
Q

Morphologic Stages of Myocardial Infarction:

  • __-__ hrs. =No Change (Gross or Microscopic)
  • __-__ hrs =Early features of Coagulative Necrosis
  • __-__ days =Coagulative Necrosis with Acute Inflammatory Response
  • __-__ days =Macrophage Activity (phagocytic removal of dead myocytes)
  • __-__ days =Developing peripheral rim of Granulation Tissue
  • __-__ weeks =Progressive Organization of infarct

-__-__ months =Progressive Collagen Deposition, Mature replacement scar

A
  • 0-6 hours
  • 6-24 hours
  • 1-4 days
  • 5-7 days
  • 7-10 days
  • 1-6 weeks
  • 1-3 months
34
Q

In MI, the area of injury becomes a scar resulting in what?

A
  • wall movement issues

- electrical propogation

35
Q

What is a reperfusion injury?

A
  • Damage caused when the blood supply returns to tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of O2.
  • Associated with microvascular injury, particularly due to increased permeability of capillaries and arterioles.
36
Q

What is sudden cardiac death?

A

Natural unexpected death secondary to cardiac causes with rapid loss of consciousness.

37
Q

__% of all deaths from CAD are SCD.

A

50%
