W5 Topics (Exam 3) Flashcards
race and sex most likely to develop CAD
black men
non-modifiable CAD risk factors
male > 45y/o
female >55y/o
family history of premature CAD event (M <55y/o, F <65y/o)
modifiable CAD risk factors
smoking, HTN, dyslipidemia, DM, obestity, lack of exercise
CAD progression
plaque buildup - vessels vasodilate to make-up for buildup - O2 demand inc above baseline and vessels cannot dilate further - demand > supply = ischemia and angina
Ischemic Heart Disease has 2 subsets:
Stable and Unstable IHD
Unstable IHD has 3 subsets
Unstable angina
NSTEMI
STEMI
all are ACS (acute coronary syndrome)
Stable Angina
chronic angina, precipitated by activity/upset and relieved at rest
Unstable Angina
inc freq/duration of angina @ lower level of activity/at rest
NSTEMI
myocardial necrosis as a result of poor blood supply (from acute thrombosis)
NO ECG changes
STEMI
same as NSTEMI but with ECG changes
cardiac enzymes signaling myocardial necrosis
troponin (most specific)
CK, CKMB (less specific, rise quickly)
angina quality
pressure, crushing, burning, tightness (acute)
angina location
substernal (can radiate to neck, jaw, shoulder, chest, arm, upper abdomen)
angina duration
0.5-20min
angina precipitating factors
exercise, cold weather, stress, postprandial
angina relieving factors
rest, SL nitroglycerin
typical angina
follows angina characteristics
atypical angina
meets only 2 of criteria
women/older adults/DM have a special presentation (anxiety, SOB, weakness, indigestion)
non-cardiac chest pain
does not meet/meets one criteria for angina
treatment of Stable IHD
Moderate/high statin
Aspirin 81mg
Clopidogrel if aspirin CI’d
both aspirin and Clopidogrel if high-risk
(dec risk of developing unstable ihd)
treatment of angina (chest pain)
just improves QOL, does not dec risk of SIHD
1: SL nitro prn
2: beta blocker (SL nitro doesnt work/ >1 anginal episode/day)
3: CCB/long acting nitrate
4: Ranolazine
CCB for anginal chest pain: Non-DHP v DHP
both dec O2 demand
avoid Non-DHP if on beta-blocker, HFrEF, severe LV dysfunction
long acting nitrate for angina
PO isosorbide mono/dinitrate or nitroglycerin patch
Ranolazine for angina
500mg BID
no effect on BP/HR
Unstable angina/STEMI strategies
medical management or early invasive (immediate cardiac catheterization)
OHSNAAP
O (in STEMI and NSTEMI treatment)
Oxygen, only if O2 sat <90%
