STEMI Flashcards
troponin I and troponin T remain elevated for
7-10 days after stemi
CK rises within
4-8hrs
ckmb ck ratio suggests MI over skeletal source
> = 2.5
2 serious complications of stemi
SVD and MR
MI classifications
type 1 spontaneous 2 ischemia imbalance 3 death but no cardiac markers 4a secondary to PCI 4b secondary to sten thrombosis 5 related to cabg
most out of gospital deaths from stemis are due to suddent development of
vfib occur during first 24 hr of onset of symptoms over half occur in the first hour
goal time of first medical contact to PCI
<120 mins
mechanism of action of aspirin
rapid inhibition of cyclogenase 1 in the platelets followed by a reductiin of thromboxane a2
door to needle
door to balloon
DN <= 30 mins
DB <= 90 mins
nitrates should be avoided in
BP <90
suspicion of RV infarct (inferior infarct in ecg, elevated JVP, clear lungs, hypotension)
absolute:
PD 5 inhibitor preceding 24 hrs
hypotension due to nitrates can be rapidly reversible by giving
atropine
very effective analgesic for pain in stemi
morphine
morphine can cause vagotonic effect bradycardia and heart block. usually respond to
atropine 0.5mg iv
mechanism of action of fibrinolysis
promote conversion of plasminogen to plasmin lyses firbin thrombi
tPA regimen
15mg bolus
50mg in 30mins
35mg in 60mins
