STEMI Flashcards
Criteria for myocardial infarction?
Evidence elevated trop I values at least 1 value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit (URI).
Criteria for acute myocardial Infarction?
Acute myocardial injury with clinical evidence of acute myocardial ischemia and with detection of a rise and/or fall of cTn values with at least one value above the 99th percentile and at least one of the following:
• Symptoms of Myocardial Ischemia
• New ischemic ECG changes
• Development of pathologic Q wave
• Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality in a pattern consistent with an ischemic etiology.
• Identification of a coronary thrombus by angiography or autopsy.
How many hours thus gross alterations in the myocardium appear?
6 to 12 hours
Levign Sign
Sign of massage or clutch their chests and frequently describe their pain with a clenched fist held against the sternum.
How many days that tropI persist?
7 to 10 days
Definition of Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries ( MINOCA)
Evidence if MI
- positive Cardiac marker with
corroborative clinical evidence of infarction due to ischemia)
With Angiography NORMAL or NEAR-NORMAL Coronary arteries ( absence of obstructive CAD on angiography ).
key source of energy for the heart?
Fatty acids - main
glucose
lactate
Ketones
most serious complication of Fibrinolytic Therapy?
Intracranial hemorrhage
< 1%
Important determinants of prognosis in patients with STEMI
Infarct Size
Relative Contraindications of Beta Blockers
History of mild asthma
Mild Bradycardia
Mild Heart Failure
First degree heart block
One of the most important predictors of mortality following STEMI
Left ventricular dysfunction
Criteria for cardiogenic shock
• frank or relative hypotension ( systolic BP < 80 or 90 mm Hg or a reduction in MAP of 30 mm Hg.
• inadequate cardiac index ( < 1.8 L/min/m2 without mechanical or pharmacological support or less than 2.2 L/min/m2 with support.
• elevated end diastolic pressures on the right ( > 10 to 15 mm Hg) and/or left ( > 18 mm Hg) side of the heart.
Evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion.
