Ischemic Heart Disease and ACS Flashcards
_____ angina: discomfort which is new in onset, increased in duration, frequency, or intensity with less exertion or at rest
Unstable
_____ angina: present when there is increased demand for myocardial oxygen in a reproducible fashion
Stable
_____ plaque: cause angina and claudication (exertional ischemia) if obstructive (>70%)
Stable
_____ plaque: cause MI and stroke
Unstable
_____ plaque: less biologically active
Stable
_____ plaque: less fibrous tissue, less calcified, more lipid content, more inflammation, more apoptosis
Unstable
_____ plaque: less likely to cause thrombotic or embolic events
Stable
_____ plaque: more biologically active
Unstable
_____ plaque: more likely to cause damage via thrombotic or embolic mechanisms
Unstable
_____ plaque: rich in fibrous tissue, calcified, less lipid content, less inflammation, less apoptosis
Stable
______ artery is most susceptible to atheroembolism from a carotid bifurcation lesion.
