What is the requirement for Mitochondrial Energy Production?
What are the Effects of Ischemia & Reperfusion on Aerobic Energy Production?
What are the Consequences of Reperfusion?
What are the Reactive Oxygen Species?
Describe a ROS mediated reperfusion injury
What is the relationship between Infarct Size and Time
Describe Ischemic Conditioning and Reperfusion Injury
Describe Energy Transfer via Creatine Kinase
Describe the components of Creatine Kinase
Describe the Plasma Levels of CK-MB and Cardiac Troponin Following MI
What are the Consequences of Hypoxia?
- Aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid oxydation slow down
- ATP in short supply
- Anaerobic glycolysis speeds up (if glucose available, normally comes from blood)
- Cardiac cells have limited glycogen stores (compared to skeletal muscle)
- Lactate increases and pH drops
What is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)?
Describe the Treatment of Stable Angina
- Treatment of aggravating symptoms
- Adaption of activity
- Treatment of risk factors
- Beta-Blockers
Describe the ECG progression in STEMI
Describe the common PTs who have Silent Ischemia/Asymptomatic Ischemia
More common in women later decades
More common in diabetics
Describe the Physical Exam for IHD
- BP and Pulse
- New Murmurs
- Aortic Stenosis can be associated with angina and syncope
- Carotid bruit
- S4 can be associated with IHD (nonspecific)
What are the differences in NSTEMI vs STEMI
- EKG ST elevation (STEMI)
- Enzymes elevated
- Occasional develop Q wave
- Tx antiplatelet, heparin, admission (NSTEMI)
- Tx Reperfusion (STEMI)
Describe the Exercise Stress Test
- Reach 85% of max HR
- 12 ECG and BP monitoring
- ST depression 2mm
- Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia
- Limitations: abnormal ECG baseline, cannot exercise
Describe an Inferior STEMI
Relate Unstable Angina and NSTEMI
EKG may show ST depression
Angiogram - partial obstruction
ENZYMES ELEVATED - only NSTEMI
What is Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)?
Describe a Lateral Wall MI
Describe Unstable Angina
- increased intensity or frequency, does not go away with demand reduction, or occurs at rest
- ST depression or Normal ECG
How do CCBs relate to Stable Angina?
Second line if Beta-Blockers are not tolerated
How do NSAIDs relate to Stable Angina?
Small but finite increased risk of myocardial infarction and mortality
What are the Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factors?
- FmHx premature CAD 1st degree relative
- male < 55 female < 65
- Tobacco products
- Diabetics 2-4 times the risk
Describe an Anterior STEMI
Describe the relationship between Nitrates and Stable Angina
- Systemic venodilation
- Dilation of coronary vessels and collateral
- Short acting - NTG spray/tablets
- Long acting - Transdermal paste/patches
- Tablets - isosorbide dinitrate
Describe what a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is
- Bypass portion of artery with segment of donor artery or vein
- Left internal mammary artery is preferred over saphenous vein
- Artery > Vein
How do you dx an MI?
What are the Tests for IHD?
- Exercise Stress Test
- Stress Echo
- Stress Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Scan
- CT for Calcium scoring
- Angiography (CT or Coronary)
What are the Anginal Equivalents and what is Atypical Presentation?
- Indigestion
- Nausea
- SOB
- Diaphoresis
- Dizziness
- Syncope
- Fatigue
Describe an Angiography
Visualizing vessel lumen
Contrast agent with XR, CT or MRI
Describe the relationship between Women and Heart Disease
- More likely atypical presentation
- 5-10 years older at time of presentation
- Higher incidence of vasospastic heart disease
- Less likely to undergo procedures
Describe what a Coronary Angiography is
- Catheter placed in arterial circulation and advanced to coronary arteries both right and left
- Injection of contrast
- Measure EF (ventriculogram)
- 70% obstruction considered significant
What is Revascularization?
CABG and PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention)
What is a Stress Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Scan?
Compares Rest and Exercise images
Inability to dilate shows less uptake of radioactive tracer
What is a Stress Echocardiogram?
- Ischemia presents as wall motion abnormality (US)
- Dobutamine and Adenosine for pt who cannot exercise
Describe the relationship between Antiplatelets and Stable Angina
- Aspirin
- P2Y12 Inhibitors (ADP receptor antagonists)
- Clopidogrel
Describe what Reperfusion Treatment Therapy is
- Tx within 3 hours = 50% reduction in mortality
- Can treat up to 12 hours after onset
- Limit infarct size and preserve LV function
Relate Fibrinolysis and MI Treatment
- Administer in less than 30 minutes
- tPA, TNK, rPA
- Administer along with ASA and/or P2Y12 Inhibitor and Heparin
- Only effective in case of a STEMI
What are the Indications for thrombolytic therapy?
- STEMI onset within 12 hours
- Most effective in 90 minutes
- ST elevation of at least 1 mm in 2 contiguous leads
- 2 mm in leads V2 and V3 for men, 1.5 for women
- New LBBB
What are the Fibrinolysis Contraindications and major risk?
- Intracranial hemorrhage in approximately 1% of patients treated with fibrinolytics for MI
- Higher risk in patient’s over 75 yo
- Use PCI instead
Describe PCI: post op care
Dual antiplatelet therapy for 12 months, ASA and P2Y12 inhibitor
When do you use PCI or Fibrinolytics?
When PCI cannot be done in 120 minutes use FIBRINOLYTICS
Any contraindications for fibrinolytics or cardiogenic shock use PCI
