Q

What are the traits of Troponin in Acute MI?

A

Rise within 3 hrs of AMI
Released continuously
Peaks 24-48 hrs

20
Q

What are the traits of Creatine Kinase MB in Acute MI?

A

Exceeds normal in 4-8 hrs, back to normal in 2-3 days
peaks in 24 hrs
Also present in Skeletal muscle

21
Q

What are the different imaging modalities of Imaging in ACS?

A 
Chest XR
Echocardiography
Nuclear SPECT
CT Coronary Angiogrphy
Cardiac MRI
22
Q

What can tell you how extensive a STEMI/NSTEMI is?

A

The degree of ST elevation/depression and the number of leads involved

23
Q

When are delta waves seen?

A

WPW syndrome

24
Q

What are the immediate therapies for AMI?

A 
ECG within 10 min, 
ABCs, Vitals
IV Access
LABS
Stabilize the Patient
MONA
If consistent with STEMI Prep for Immediate Reperfusion
25
Q

What does MONA stand for?

A

Morphine, Oxygen, Nitro, Aspirin

26
Q

What are the 3 main Classes of medical therapy?

A

Antiplatelet Agents
Anticoagulant Agents
Anti-ischemic Agents

27
Q

What Antiplatelet agents are use in MI?

A

P2Y12 inhibitor

GP 2b3a inhibitor

28
Q

What Anticoagulant agents are use in MI?

A

.

29
Q

What Anti-ischemic agents are use in MI?

A

Beta Blockers(tachy and HTN or vent arrythmia)
IV Nitroglycerin(Acute pulm edema/CHF)
Useful if Pt is Hypertensive
Ca Channel Blockers

30
Q

What should all ischemic Chest pain patients recieve?

A

Oxygen low flow (keep above 90% O2 sat)
Aspirin
Sublingual NTG
Anticoagulant

31
Q

What are charicteristics of a STEMI?

A

Complete occlusion of Cor BF Myocardium is continually lost
ST elevation localizes the area of injury
Fibrin rich, red clot
Plaque is typically soft nd previously non-obstructive
-no collateral devt
-no ischemic preconditoning

32
Q

What are charicteristics of and Anterior Wall MI?

A

Bad prognosis because there is a lare amount of myocardium involved(LAD occlusion)
Widow Maker
AV block uncommon

33
Q

What are charicteristics of and Inferior Wall MI?

A

High vagal tone state
Low normal or Bradicardia from SA ischemia and Inc Vagal tone
AV block uncommon and usually transient

34
Q

What are the characteristics of Inferior wall MI with associated RV infarction?

A

JVD, Hypotension, Clear lung fields
Preload Sensitive, avoid NTG, caution with BB may need trial of IV fluids
Diagnose with V4R lead ECG

35
Q

How can a RV MI be better diagnosed?

A

Right sided EKG

36
Q

What are the gross changes following an Infarction?

A

6hr- Myocardium pale, bluish, edematous
18-36 hr- Muscle tan to purple with epicrdial exudate
8-10 days- Wall thins as necrotic tissue organized by fibroblasts
2-3 months- firm scar forms

37
Q

What is the management of a STEMI?

A

ASA
P2Y12 blocker
Beta Blocker(less ARR more cardiogenic shock)
Unfractionated heparin or bivalrudin if bleeding risk higher

38
Q

What are the benefits of using Fibrinolytic therapy?

A

Reduces mortality short and long term

Increased risk of stroke or major bleeding

39
Q

What are the contraindications for throobolytic therapy?

A

Past Intracranial Hemmhorrage

Cerebral vascular lesion…

40
Q

Who are the best candidates of PCI in STEMI

A 
Delayed presentation
High bleeding risk
Lytic contraindication or failed lytic
complex coronary  disease
Shock 
Compilication
diagnosis less certain
41
Q

What is a danger of PCI?

A

Can shower microthrombi downstream when Stent opened

42
Q

What is unique about a NSTEMI?

A

Platelet rich White clot
ECG changes do not localize the area of ischemia or culprit vessel
ECG may be normal (ST depression or T inversion)

43
Q

What are the guidelines for Tx for different patients?

A

VHRP?
HRP
IRP
LRP

44
Q

What are considerations for Post-MI care?

A

Assess Ejection fraction
Assess cardiovascular Risk factors
Education(event, meds, CV disease, heart healthy lifestyle)
Cardiac Rehab

45
Q

What drugs should be given in post MI care?

A

Aspirin 81-162 mg for life

P2Y12 inhibitor: Clopidogrel, ticagrelor for 1 year

46
Q

Why is readmission so high post MI?

A

Polypharmacy
Early discharge
Side effects
Feel overwhelmed and depressed
