Ischemic Heart Disease(IHD) Flashcards
Also called:
Coronary Heart Disease(CHD),
Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Atherosclerotic heart disease
Ischemic Heart Disease
condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of the myocardium
typically occurs when there is an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand
Ischemic Heart Disease
blockage or narrowing (stenosis) of the arteries that supply the heart muscle, often due to a buildup of fatty plaque inside the arteries.
Coronary Artery Disease
In majority of patients, it is caused by atherosclerosis
Coronary Artery Disease
rarely may be due to aortitis
Coronary Artery Disease
rarely may be due to vasculitis
Coronary Artery Disease
rarely may be due to autoimmune connective tissue diseases
Coronary Artery Disease
Heart rate
Is a factor influencing
Cardiac work > myocardial O2 demand
Blood pressure
Is a factor influencing
Cardiac work > myocardial O2 demand
Myocardial contractility
Is a factor influencing
Cardiac work > myocardial O2 demand
L. Ventricular hypertrophy
Is a factor influencing
Cardiac work > myocardial O2 demand
Valve disease e.g aortic stenosis
Is a factor influencing
Cardiac work > myocardial O2 demand
Duration of diastole
Is a factor influencing
Coronary blood flow > myocardial O2 supply
Coronary perfusion pressure
Is a factor influencing
Coronary blood flow > myocardial O2 supply
Coronary vasomotor tone
Is a factor influencing
Coronary blood flow > myocardial O2 supply
Oxygenation
- haemoglobin
- O2 saturation
Is a factor influencing
Coronary blood flow > myocardial O2 supply
• Chest pain or heaviness
• Dyspnoea: exertional, orthopnoea,
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea
• Ankle swelling
• Palpitations
• Syncope
• Intermittent claudication
• Fatigue
Are common symptoms of
Ischemic heart disease
Chest pain or heaviness
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Dyspnoea: exertional, orthopnoea,
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Ankle swelling
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Palpitations
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Syncope
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
+ a sign of cardiovascular diseases
Intermittent claudication
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Fatigue
A common symptom of ischemic heart disease
Cardiac arrest
A sign of cardiovascular diseases
Abnormal heart sounds/Murmurs
A sign of cardiovascular diseases
Signs of heart failure
A sign of cardiovascular diseases
Cardiac arrhythmias
A sign of cardiovascular diseases
Normal physical exam doesn’t exclude
IHD
usually occurs on exertion and is relieved by the rest
Angina Pectoris
Typically described as a central, squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in the chest.
Angina Pectoris
Pain may radiate to the jaw, neck, or one or both arms and may be associated with shortness of breath
Angina Pectoris
term that encompasses both unstable angina and myocardial infarction
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
characterized by
new-onset or rapidly worsening (crescendo ……….)
on minimal exertion or at rest in the absence of myocardial damage
unstable angina
Fixed stenosis
Demand-led ischemia
Related to effort
Predictable
Symptoms over long term
Stable angina
Dynamic stenosis
Supply-led ischemia
Symptoms at rest
Unpredictable
Symptoms over short term
Unstable angina
