ischemic heart disease, angina, MI Flashcards
ischemic heart disease
coronary blood demand exceeds coronary blood flow
myocardial metabolism is aerobic
etiologies of IHD
atherosclerosis hyperthyroidism anemia emotional stress variant angina
ischemic equivalents/associated symptoms
SOB diaphoresis nausea/vomiting dizziness weakness
framingham
1948 5000+ M and F, 30-62 return every 2 years second generation in 1971 third gneration in 2002 omni chohorts in 1994
low risk
<10% 10-year framingham risk
monitor
intermediate risk
10-20% 10 yr framingham risk
further evaluation- EKG, stress test
high risk
> 20% 10 yr framingham risk
aggressive risk modification
metabolic syndrome
insulin resistance hyperglycemia HTN elevated triglycerides low HDL obesity doubles risk for CV disease
conditional risk factors
homocystein
Lp(a)
hsCRP
LDL particle size
conditional preventions
antioxidant therapies
omege-3-FAs
Lp(a)
resembles LDL w/added glycoprotein
few pharmacological agents lower Lp(a)
no research has demonstrated efficacy in CV risk reduction by lowering Lp(a)
hsCRP
high sensitivity C-reactive protein
useful in assessing patients w/intermediate framingham risk scores, reclassifies up to 30% into either low or high risk
reduction of risk
aspirn reduction of BP reduction of hyperlipemia smoking cessation regular exercise weight reduction and reduction of BMI (<25) reduction of psychological stresses
HRmax
220-age
pharmacological stress tests
dobutamine- increase cardiac stress and O2 demand
adenosine/dipyridmole- vasodilate
TIMI trial risk indicators
age >= 65 >= 3 traditional cadiac rsik factors documented CAD w/ >=50% stenosis ST segment abnormalities >=2 anginal episodes in last 24hrs used aspirin in last week elevated cardiac enzymes
