Q

How do you fix the STEMI (DO NOT USE IN NSTEMI)?

A

Coronary angiography/PCI are THE first choice for treatment if can be given in 90 minutes. If no cath lab and if can transfer to a hospital within 120 minutes, do IT.

If this can’t be done, thrombolytic (fibronitic) therapy should be started and the patient should be sent to somewhere for PCI

This is harmful if ACS without ST segment elevation

Q

Class 1 Antiplatelet drugs (have to do them over and over again for a year) given for NSTEMI-STEMI

A
  1. ASA
  2. P2Y12- inhibitors

3- Glycoprotein 2a/3b-inhibitors (abciximan, tirofiban, eptifibitide) is used long-term, IF THE PT IS AT HIGH RISK FOR NSTEMI

Q

When do you give PCI (percutaneous intervention) to a patient with NSTE-ACS?

A

High-risk patient, then send to cath lab

High risk = ST Depression and high troponin

Q

How do you treat a low-risk and high-risk patient differently with NSTEMI-ACS?

High risk (high troponin and + ST depression): PCI and cath lab

Q

How can we tell if patient with ACS is experiencing unstable angina?

A

NL levels of troponin

18
Q

_______ is dangerous in NSTE-ACS.

______ is the MOST important thing in STEMI?

A

thrombolytic/fibrinolytic therapy

reperfusion therapy

19
Q

How do you treat the patient long term?

A
  1. Glycoprotein IIB/IIIA inhibitors are used for high risk NSTEMI
  2. Patients should be on long term anticoagulation therapy when they leave the hospital – Heparin and LMW heparin
  3. Beta blockers, statins and ACE inhibitors are used to treat comorbities
20
Q

what is the progression of changes in cardiac enzymes in pt with STEMI?

A

Initial cardiac enzymes may be NL.

Become + 4-6 hours later

Troponin may stay elevated for 5-7 days after STEM

21
Q

How do you treat STEMI?

A
  1. Aspirin
  2. PG2Y12 inhibitor (clopidrgel/ Ticagrelor)

If high risk: Gp2a/3b inhibitors

  1. Reperfusion therapy: via coronary angiography & PCI or thrombolytics (if facility of Primary PCI is not available) d/t ST elevation

Only give thrombo if cannot do CA or PCI in a cath lab
PCI: door to ballon is 90 minutes
If no cath lab, but you can transfer pt to hospital in 120 minutes, DO IT

22
Q

what are absolute CI for thrombolytics in STEMI?

A
  1. Prev hemorrhagic stroke
  2. Other strokes
  3. Intracranial neoplasms
  4. recent head trauma
  5. Active internal bleeding (not menstruation)
  6. Suspected aortic dissection
  7. ANY bleeding
23
Q

1 treatment for STEMI?

A

SEND TO CATH LAB

24
Q

Post MI complications (5)

A

Post infarct ischemia

Arrhythmia

Right ventricular infarction

Mechanical complications

Myocardial dysfunction

25
Q

Post MI Ischemia can occur when?

Tx?

A
  1. After thrombolytic therapy for STEMI
  2. After medically treating a NSTEMI.
    Treat with vigorous medical therapy. If refractory, undergo early aniography and revascularization
26
Q

What arrythmias can occur after a MI?

A
  1. Sinus bradycardia (MCC in inferior MI)
  2. Supraventricular tachycardia, including a-fib
  3. Conduction disturbances
  4. Ventricular arrhythmias
27
Q

AV node supplied by _______

A

RCA

28
Q

Post-MI, patient has

1st degree AV block
2nd degree AV block
Complete AV block
describe them

A
  • 1st degree AV block: most common and no treatment
  • 2nd degree AV block: only treat if symptom
  • Complete AV block: most common in an inferior MI.
    If occurs with an anterior MI => worse.
29
Q

complete AV block is most common in an ____ MI and worse with an _____ MI? What is the treatment?

A

inferior

anterior = worse bc sign of BAD infarction

Permenant pacing

30
Q

What is the most comon conduction abnormality in the first few hours after MI and how is it treated?

A

Ventricular arrythmia (VT/VF)

if hemodynamically signifiant: defibrillate

Stable: antiarrhythmic meds + amiodrone

31
Q

how do you treat RV infarction, which occurs in 1/3 of all inferior MIs.

A

IV fluids

  • AVOID VASODILATORS (NG)
  • DO NOT REDUCE PRELOAD
32
Q

Right ventricular infarcts (RV infarcts) presents with what sx?

A
  1. HypoTN with NL LV function
  2. High JVP
  3. Clear lungs
33
Q

How are LV/RV infarcts different?

A

RV infarcts
RV infarcts will have clear lungs
Dx by: ST elevation in the right sided anterior leads

LV infarcts
LV infarcts do NOT have clear lungs
Dx: ST elevation in the left sided anterior leads

34
Q

A pt with recent MI presents with systolic BP <90. They have cold extremities, decreased urine output and are confused; what are you thinking?

A

Cardiogenic shock

  • these patients will not respond with fluid resucitation
  • give inotropic support (DA, dobutamine, NE)
  • poor prognosis
35
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK

should be considered for urgent coronary angiography, revascularization and possible placement of intra-aortic balloon pump.

A

cardiogenic shock

36
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK

Echocardiagram should be taken and will show function of the LV is moderately - severely reduced.

A

Cardiogenic shock

37
Q

• Essentials of Diagnosis in a patient with shock (4)

A

Hypotension (low BP)
Tachycardia
Oliguria
Altered mental status (confusion)

38
Q

Name that shock

Blood loss or dehydration causes decreased intravascular volume. To treat, we replete the intravascular volume

A

hypovolemic shock

39
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK!

Shock caused by [cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax and massive PE] that is treated by treating underlying cause

A

Obstructive shock

40
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK

A category of shocks, where the most common in septic shock!

A

distributive

41
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK!

Shock most commonly caused by gram (-/+) organism where hypotension does NOT respond to fluid. Systolic BP are < 100mmHg, serum lactate levels are high (> 2mmol/L) and requires vasopressors to keep MAP above 65mmHg.

A

SEPTIC SHOCK

42
Q

NAME THAT SHOCK!

Type of shock treated by fluids + ABX + hope for the best!

A

septic shock
