22
Q

90% of transmural infarcts

A

acute plaque disruption – platelets adhere to exposed subendothelial collagen/necrotic plaque contents, release aggregators – vasospasms – other extrinsic coag pathway also gets activated – Thrombus quickly occludes lumen

23
Q

myocardial response to ischemia at ~ 1 sec

A

cessation of aerobic glycolysis

decreased creatine phosphate, ATP

Accumulate lactic acid

24
Q

when does loss of contractility occur

A

after 2 min

25
Q

when does injury to myocyte become irreversible?

A

20-40min

26
Q

microvascular injury occurs

A

after 1 hr

27
Q

_____ may occur even due to ischemia

A

arrhythmias

28
Q

Subendocardial infarct is NOT due to

A

plaque disruption

superimposed thrombus

29
Q

Subendocardial infarct is majorly due to

A

diffuse stenosing coronary atherosclerosis with reduction of blood flow

30
Q

Morphology of MI depends on

A
  • Location, severity and rate of dev of coronary obstruction
  • size of area perfused by obstructed vessel
  • duration of occlusion
  • metabolic/oxygen demand
  • extent of collateral
  • coronary vasospasm
  • BP, HR, rhythm
  • Necrosis (complete in 6 hrs)
31
Q

Infarct modification by reperfusion

A

Thrombolysis
Angioplasty w/ stent placement
CABG

32
Q

Grafting of

RCA
LAD

A

RCA - saphenous vein

LAD - internal mammary artery

33
Q

Factors associated with poor prognosis (MI)

A

Advanced age
female gender
DM
previous MI

34
Q

Consequence and complications of MI

A

Contractile dysfunction (htn, pulmonary vascular congestion, cardiogenic shock if severe)

Arrhythmias

Papillary m. – severe mitral regurgitation

36
Q

What is a later complication of MI

A

37
Q

is rupture common with ventricular aneurysm?

A

38
Q
