week 1 (53-78) Flashcards
ECG alterations associated with ischemia (3)
ST depression
ST elevation
T-wave inversion
How does ischemia affect ECG leads (2)
damaged area will have less effect on that particular lead
complete reversal because the signal wont travel that area the same way
(slide 53, per Dr Dick)
Angiotensin II Systemic effects (2)
Peripheral vasoconstriction
fluid retention
is secreted from kidney and helps produce Angiotensin I
Renin
which is a more potent vasoconstrictor: angiotensin I or angiotensin II?
angiotensin II?
Increasing Angiotensin leads to (2)
↑vasoconstriction
↑aldosterone (works in kidneys to ↑ salt and water reabsorption which increases BP)
Many drugs that control BP will block
T/F Lots of BP meds block Angiotensin converting enzyme and ARB’s
True
if angiotensin is secreted myocardial work increases or decreases?
increases–> thus the effects of loss of myocyte contractility are exacerbated
bec of the increase in vasoconstriction (afterload)
and increasing afterload means heart has to push harder against it
Angiotensin II Local effects (4)
Growth factor for vascular smooth muscle cells, myocytes, and cardiac fibroblasts.
Promotes catecholamine release
Causes coronary artery spasms
Involved in myocardial remodeling and causes myocyte hypertrophy, scarring and loss of contractile function in areas of heart distant from infarction site
angiotensin II
Types of myocardial infarction (2)
Subendocardial infarction
Transmural infarction
non-STEMI
subendocardial
STEMI
transmural infarction
smaller infarctions are associated with ST segment elevations (STEMI)
False
smaller infarctions are NOT assoc with ST segment elevations (non-STEMI)
infarcted myocardium is surrounded by a zone of ____ ____, which may progress to necrosis or return to normal
hypoxic injury
how can infarcted myocardium return to normal
if blood flow is returned fast enough
drug that help break up clot and restore BF to infarcted area/tissue
thrombolytics
adjacent to the zone of hypoxic injury is a zone of
reversible ischemia
2 enzymes that are markers for myocardial infarction
Creatine phosphokinase–MB (CPK-MB) and LDH-1
Which biomarker is most specific for myocardial damage?
Troponin I, which elevates in 2 to 4 hours post-infarction.
Troponin I elevates betw. how many hours post-infarction?
2 to 4 hours
clinical manifestations of myocardial infarction
Sudden severe chest pain (radiating to left arm or jaw/shoulder pain)
ECG changes
↑Troponin I
↑Creatine phosphokinase–MB (CPK-MB), LDH-1
Hyperglycemia (d/t alterations in glucose metabolism)
