Myocardial Infarction Flashcards
Cause of MI ?
- Rupture of the atherosclerosis with thrombosis
- Complete occlusion of coronary artery
- CA vasosapsm
- Prinzmetal angina
- Emboli
- Vasculitis-Kawasaki Disease
Cell injury in MI ?
Necrosis of cardiacx] myocytes
Dyspnea manifesto in MI ?
Total function oif heart is impaired = Pulmonary congestionnand edema = Dyspnea
73
Presenations of MI ?
- Chest pain = >20minutes
- Diaphoresis
- Pain radiates left arm — jaw
- Dyspnea
Not releived by nitroglycerine
Involvement in MI ?
- LV
- RV
- Both atria are spared
EKG changes in MI ?
- Initially = Subendocardial ischemia = ST depression
- Severe ischemia = Traansmural ischemia = ST elevation
Occlusion in MI ?
- Left ant descending artery = ant wall & ant septum of LV = 45%
- Right coronary artery = post wall & post septum & papillae muscle LV
- left circumflex artery = lateral wall of LV
Mmembrane damage fate in MI ?
Leakage of cardiac enzyme s= Marker of MI
74
Hallmark of MI ?
Membrane damage
Cardiac marker in mI ?
- Troponin I
- CK-MB
Troponin I details time—
Rise 2-4 hr after infraction
peak = 24 hr
normal = 7-10 day
CK-MB????
Level rise =4-6 hr
peak = 24 hr
normal = 72 hr
creatinine kinase MB
Tx of MI ?
- Aspirine/Heparin = Limit thrombosis
- O2 = minimize ischemia
- Nitrates = vasodialtion
- Beta blocker = dec O2
- ACEi = dec LV dilation
- Fibrinolytic /angioplasty = open blocked vessels
74
Reperfusion of irreversibly = C ainflux = Hypercontraction of myofibrills == Contraction band necrosis
in MI
Further damaging myocytes
after return of O2 + inflammatory cells create = Free radicles
Reperfusion injury
Which kind of necrosis in MI ?
Coagulative necrosis
Day 1 necrosis time ?
<4 hour = changes = No changes
