19
Q

Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis [PROGRESSIVE]

A
  1. Endothelial dysfunction
  2. LDL-C accumulation and oxidation in arterial wall
  3. Injury and inflammation
  4. Monocyte binding and entry into cell
  5. Monocyte differentiation into macrophage
  6. Macrophage engulfs oxidized LDL and creates foam cell
  7. plaque maturation and calcification
20
Q

Trigger for Myocardial Infarction

A
  • exertion
  • emotional stress
  • sympathetic activation [heart rate variability and prognosis]
  • surgery causing blood loss
21
Q

Pathophysiology of Myocardial Infarction

A
  • plaque rupture rulceration in coronary artery
  • –bifurcations
  • thrombosis (blood clotting)
  • blood flow acculsion
  • necrosis of downstream myocardium
  • –protein synthesis
  • —-cardiac tropinin
  • dysrhythmia
  • –ventricular fibrillation
  • –ventricular tachycardia
  • potentially death
22
Q

Complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction

A
  • arrythmias
  • conduction abnormalities
  • cardiogenic shock
  • infarct extension or expansion
  • myocardial rupture
  • new mitral valve regurgitation
  • pericardial effusion and pericarditis
  • post-infarction syndrome
  • left ventricular mural thrombus
23
Q

Prognosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

A

Factors associated with poor prognosis

  • LIVEF < 5 METs
  • evidence of extensive myocardial ischemia during exercise or pharmacologic stress testing
  • having survived sudden cardiac death
  • servere non-revascularized CAD
24

  • —70% age-predicted HRmax
  • —achieving 5 METs
25

COMPONENTS

  • avoid bed rest, early ambulation
  • maintain upright posture

  • exercise training with continuous ECG training
  • education
  • some times
  • —-dietary management
  • —psychological counseling (depression, stress)
  • —smoking cessation
32
Q

The Role of Exercise: Primary Prevention

A

preventing MIs prior to happening

33
Q

The Role of Exercise: Secondary Prevention

A

preventing adverse events after first MI

34
Q

Physical Activity and Risk for MI

A
  • inverse curvilinear relationship
  • populations risk may be reduced dramatically if sedentary people become modestly active
  • pysically inactive people 45% greater risk for developing CAD than active people
35
Q

Exercise and Risk for Subsequent MI

A
  • patients hospitalized for heart attack

- those who were more active had 55% lower risk for another myocardial infarction compared to sedentary

36
Q

GXT prior to Outpatient Cardiac Rehab

  • symptom-limited
  • 2-3 weeks following discharge
  • protocol based on
  • —physical examination
  • —risk stratification
  • ramping protocols common

  • —angina;dyspnea; 1 mm ST-segment depression
  • –usefulness of RPP
  • —–HR*SBP
  • —–myocardial oxygen demand
37
