Angina is _________
chest pain, chest pressure, chest tightness
or discomfort usually caused my ischemia of the heart muscle or spasm of the coronary arteries
The chest pain in angina is described as _________
squeezing, grip-like, heavy or suffocating and typically does not vary with position or respiration
Stable Angina, also known as ______
Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD)
Stable angina aka “Stable ischemic heart disease” is associated with _________, often brought on by _______ or _______. Is relieved within minutes by ________________
predictable chest pain
exertion
emotional stress
rest or with nitroglycerin
Unstable Angina is a type of ___________; this is a medical emergency where chest pain increases (in frequency, intensity, or duration) and is NOT _______________
acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
relieved with nitroglycerin or rest
The classic anginal symptoms of stable ischemic heart disease MAY NOT be present in _______
women, elderly patients, or those with diabetes; this can lead to misdiagnosis (GERD) or a delay in treatment
When chest pain is caused by vasospasm of the coronary arteries, it is called ________
Prinzmetal’s (variant or vasospastic) angina
What type of angina can occur at rest
Prinzmetal’s (variant or vasospastic) angina
Chest pain occurs when there is _________
an imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand (workload) & myocardial oxygen supply (blood flow)
Myocardial oxygen demand increases when ________
the heart is working harder due to an
-increased heart rate
-increased contractility
- or left ventricular wall tension [caused by increased preload (volume of blood returning to the heart) and/or increased afterload (systemic vascular resistance)]
preload
volume of blood “in ventricles” at end of diastole, ready to be pumped out
returning to the heart
afterload
resistance left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood
refers to the pressure against which your heart has to pump that blood
systemic vascular resistance
In Stable angina aka “stable ischemic heart disease”, myocardial oxygen supply is often _______ due to plaque build up within the inner walls of the coronary arteries
decreased
coronary artery disease (CAD), causes _______________ of the arteries and __________
narrowing
reduced blood flow to the heart
Risk Factors for Stable angina aka ‘stable ischemic heart disease’
hypertension
smoking
dyslipidemia
diabetes
obesity
physical inactivity
To assess the likelihood of CAD and diagnose stable ischemic heart disease a _________ is performed
cardiac stress test
The cardiac stress test increases myocardial oxygen demand with either exercise (walking in treadmill or pedaling on a stationary bike) or using ____________.
As myocardial oxygen demand increases, the patient is monitored for the development of symptoms (___)
IV medications
adenosine, dipyridamole, dobutamine or regadenoson(Lexiscan)
(chest pain, dyspnea, lightheadedness), changes in heart rate and blood pressure, transient rhythm disturbances or ST segment abnormalities on an ECG
Drug treatment for stable ischemic heart disease includes: _______ and ____ used together
antiplatelet & antianginal
antiplatelet treatment prevents _____
platelets from sticking together and forming a clot that can block an artery and reduce blood flow to the heart
what is the recommended antiplatelet in SIHD
aspirin
If there is an allergy to aspirin or some other contraindication then what antiplatelet is used
clopidogrel (Plavix)
The combination of aspirin and Plavix is only beneficial in SIHD when _______
there is a history of stent placement or recent CABG
