Ischemic heart disease (Vadlamudi) Flashcards
Angina
Myocardial ischemia which manifests as chest pain
Angina is usually caused by
CAD; Vasospasm, Low CO state
Angina
Occurs due to O2 supply and demand imbalance
Increased O2 demand
Tachycardia; HTN; Increased contractility
Decreased O2 supply
Anemia; hypoxemia; CAD and acute Thrombosis; Coronary vasospasm and HypoTN
Types of Angina
Stable and Unstable
Stable Angina
Exertional; relieved with rest and vasodilators; dzed Cartery is dilated post-stenosis (demand for blood supply to that area is inadequate with exertion
Stable Angina
Vasospasm possible cause
Unstable Angina
Inc in hz, severity, or duration of angina; angina occurs at rest (CA plaque rupture, partial thrombosis or vasospasm)
Unstable Angina
Can occur prior to or after MI
Acute Coranary Syndrome (ACS)
Unstable Angina; STEMI and NONSTEMI (these pts need further work up because they are at risk for MI
CAD
Most common cause of heart dz
CAD
Atherosclerotic plaque build up in CA, limiting blood flow to myocardium
Risk Factors for CAD
Male, HTN, Hypercholesterolemia, DM, Family Hx, tobacco abuse and Obesity
Treatment CAD
Lifestyle changes, Medical therapy, PTCA,
CABG
Gold std for revascularization
Medical Therapy
b blockers; CCB, Nitrates, ACE-I, ASA and antiplatelets and statins
How do we enure MI pt is optimized for surgery
Functional status (METS)and physical exam/ recent change
How do we enure MI pt is optimized for surgery
Hx and records, recent PCI with stent placement?, Dual antiplt therapy?, Prior CABG, significant comorbidities
recent PCI with stent placement?
balloon angioplasty - wait atleast 2 weeks before elective procedure
Dual antiplt therapy?
BMS = delay elective surgery by 6wks upto 6mnths
Dual antiplt therapy?
DES = delay elective surgery by 1 full yr
PCI with stent
Body endotheliolizes stent (covers it) dual therapy ensures a balance between endothelial growth and acute stenosis from too much endothelial growth
Patient with CAD
Should not ever be off ASA period
How do we enure MI pt is optimized for surgery
EKG, echo, stress test, LHC, cardiac MRI/PET, continue appropriate medication in perioperative period)
How do we know pt have MI
Symptoms, physical exam and labs
EKG MI (printout baseline EKG always)
ST segment elevation, depression, and T wave inversion
MI cardiac enzymes
CKmb and troponin I
Transmural MI
Involves all 3 layers of heart; 2o to obstruction in major CA ex L main Dz emergence; ST Elevation
Subendocardial
Ischemia to endocardium of heart; arteries external with hypertrophy and aortic stenosis so endocardium will not be perfused well
