Q

Why would you insert a pulmonary artery catheter?***

Q

A pt presents to you with chest pain only upon exertion and is relieved by rest.
What would a treadmill test tell you?
What would a cardiac catherterization tell you?
What pharm

A

treadmill: will increase HR and SBP, which exacerbate the exertional chronic stable angina

cardiac cath will tell you how blocked he is, but I don’t think he’s a candidate for this?

pale
sweating
breathing hard
*this is not dependent upon exertion
A

acute coronary syndrome

37
Q

pathophys of acute coronary syndrome

A

arthlerosclerotic plaque narrown lumen –> ruptures–>

  1. increased constriction/resistance
  2. thrombotic state in which blood clots form at area of rupture
38
Q

T or F: acute coronary syndrome is a problem of supply and demand

A

false

*there is no inc demand on the heart, just a problem with supply

39
Q

What is the diff btwn MI and acute coronary syndrome?

A

in MI, there is ZERO perfusion/supply = CA is 100% occluded

Has ECG changes!

40
Q

problem of supply and demand–inc demand will not lead to a proportinal inc supply

A

chronic stable angina

41
Q

O2 supply is a function of ____

A

coronary blood flow

42
Q

arthleroscloerotic plaque causes

A

inadeqate supply

43
Q

Myocardial demand is a function of

A

systolic BP and HR

44
Q

blockage restricts O2 supply when it takes up ___% of CA lumen

A

70%

45
Q

heart pains are always more than _____mins and never more than ____mins (time)

A

5 mins; 30 mins

46
Q

Heart pains assc with activities is better or worse prognosis

A

better prognosis

47
Q

Chronic stable angina is assc with (inc or dec) catecholamines

A

inc catecholamins –> skin gets pale

= over sympathetic activity

48
Q

angina pectoris/chronic stable angina assc with

A

diaphoresis

sense of breathlessness

49
Q

T or F: heart pains almost always makes a person alter their activities

A

true

50
Q

angina pectoris is a consequence of myocardial oxygen demand exceeding _____

A

myocardial oxygen supply

51
Q

can replicates syndrome (see if gets pale, breaks out in sweat, pain, see EKG)

A

treadmill test

52
Q

At the microscopic level in chronic stable angina, what is happening at microscopic level?

A

ishemia

53
Q

etiologic factors other than artherlosclerosis that can cause an MI

A

injury

emboli

54
Q

pt that woke up in middle of the night with an elephant on chest with normal ECG

A

acute coronary syndrome

*lack of complete occlusion of artery

55
Q

pathophys of ACS

A

artherlosclerotic CA –> rupture –> platelets move in –> TXA2 made –> momentary vasoconstriction –> decrease in O2 supply/ischemia

56
Q

artherlosclerosis –> ______ –> rupture –> _______

A

chronic stable angina

acute coroney syndrome

57
Q

What causes the arthlerosclerotic plaque rupture in ACS?

A
endothelial activation 
smoking
cytokines
elevated glc (AGE)
HTN

lead to
-vasoconstrion and platelet aggrgation –> rupture

58
Q

vulnerable plaque vs stable plaque

A

vulterable have large lipid core, thin cap

stable: more smooth muscle cells and is more well formed

59
Q

role of platelets in ACS

A

rupture of plaque –> paltelets rush in –> TXA2 produced –> vasoconstriction –> fibrin deposition

60
Q

In ACS the ____ is the culprit

A

vessel

platelets are the 2nd most important part

61
Q

rupture –> thrombus

A

ACS

62
Q

A

30 mis to several hour of chest pain

pain radiates to arm, neck, jaw

67

MI ECG changes

A

ST elevation

68

70
Q

as myocytes die the secrete enzymes….

A

CK
SGOT
LDH
troponin

71
Q

_____ is a predictor of ischemic event

A

troponin

72
Q

more than 1 p wave for every QRS

A

heart block (casues arrhythmia?)

73
Q

Tx of heart block

A

pacemaker

74
Q

ventricualr fibrillation

A

know ECG for it

75
Q

complication of MI

Q

fluid in lungs due do abnormal accumulation of Na and H2O

What to do when person has MI and there is no cath lab

A

get rid of clot to reperfuse

-streptokinase

78
Q

treateent of choice for a pt with ST elevation MI

A

put in mesh balloon/stent at area of occlusion = angioplasty

79
Q

take veins from leg, anastomose to proximal aorta and anastomose to area distal to CA blockage

A

bypass surgery

80
Q

What has a positive effect on SV?

Negative?

A

positive:
- inc length of myocardial fibers by increasing preload (EDV)

negative:
- inc afterload decreases the contractility (dialated left ventricle); inc systolic BP
