Question
Answer
what are the manifestations of Ischemic Heart Disease (coronary artery disease)   stable angina acute coronary syndromes CHF sudden cardiac death silent ischemia  
🗑
Due to fixed coronary lesion leads to mismatch of myocardial metabolic O2 supply and demand increases cardiac work load   stable angina  
🗑
What does Acute Coronary syndrome encompase   includes conditions compatible with MI unstable angina STEMI NSTEMI  
🗑
What happens to atherosclerotic plaque in an acute event   it ruptures and creates a thrombogenic surface within blood vessel that leads to platelet aggregation/ fibrin formation limited blood flow distal to lesion mismatch O2 supply/demand tissue ischemia (unstable angina) tissue necrosis (MI)  
🗑
What are the four grades of Acute Coronary Syndrome   class I- angina occurs only with strenous activity Class II- angina occurs with moderate activity Class III- angina occurs withe mild activity Class IV- angina occurs with any activity and may occur at rest  
🗑
What is unstable angina   rapid increase in coronary stenosis but incomplete occlusion chest pain at rest on effort w/ change from previous pattern previous stable angina becoming severe  
🗑
What are unstable angina patients at definite impending risk of   myocardial necrosis  
🗑
Apart from angina what other conditions lead to supply demand mimatches   aortic stenosis thyrotoxicosis profound anemia  
🗑
What do IHD/CAD predispose patient to   heart failure cardiac arrythmias sudden cardiac death  
🗑
Name 5 risk factors for IHD/CAD   age >65 Male>Female Smoking HTN Fam Hx DM obesity sedentary life style elevated cholesterol inflammation  
🗑
What is the most common cause of IHD/CAD and other causes   atherosclerosis spasm Arterial Stenosis Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy metabolic syndrome/ syndrome X severe HTN  
🗑
when does initial onset of atherosclerosis occur   childhood and adolescence fatty streaks with lipid filled smooth muscle cells and macrophages (foam cells) and intermittent fibrous deposition  
🗑
What happens to the atherosclerosis generally in third decade of life   fibrous plaques appear in the abdominal aorta, coronary and carotid arteries. they are firm, elevated dome shped lesions on surface that bulge into lumen  
🗑
What are atherosclerotic plaque made of   extracellular lipid with cholesterol crystals and necrotic cell debris  
🗑
What artherosclerotic plaques are usually associated with symptoms   complicated lesions of calcified fibrous plaque containing degrees of necrosis, thrombosis and ulceration  
🗑
What size vessels does atherosclerosis typically effect and how is it characterized   disease of large and medium sized muscular arteries characterized by endothelial dysfunction vascular inflammation buildup of lipids, cholesterol, calcium, and cellular debris withing intima of vessel wall  
🗑
What are the results of plaque formation   vascular remodeling acute and chronic luminal obstruction abnormalities of blood flow diminished oxygen supply to target organs  
🗑
What happens if the enothelium or fibrous cap over a atherosclerotic plaque ruptures   you get exposure of the thrombogenic contents of the core to circulating blood. This is an advanced or complicated lession and inflammatory cells localize to the plaque. T-lmphocytes release inflammatory factors  
🗑
what is the leading mechanism accepted regarding atherogenesis   response to injury where endothelial injury causes vascular inflammation and followed by fibroproliferative response  
🗑
What is the major concern of a plaque rupture   that a thrombus will develop and occlude the blood vessel  
🗑
When is anginal threshold typically lowest   More in the A.M.  
🗑
What type of angina is variable defies any pattern and is prominent at rest.   Prinzmetal Angina (variable angina)  
🗑
What might prinzmetal angina be caused by   myocardial ischemia caused by coronary spasm  
🗑
If you have angina lasting > 20min and it is severe chest discomfort accompanied by profound fatigue what does it often equal   acute myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome  
🗑
How long does typical angina pectoris last   2-10 minutes  
🗑
if angina last for 15-20 minutes what type of angina is it typically representative of   unstable angina  
🗑
If the angina last for hours what might be underlying cause   acute MI pericarditis aortic dissection musculoskeletal disease herpes zoster anxiety cocaine abuse  
🗑
if chest pain is really brief less than 15 seconds is it angina   no pain points to musculoskeletal pain, hiatal hernia or functional pain  
🗑
what can be given to relieve angina pain   nitro  
🗑
If your patient is having chest pain and leaning forward helps relieve the pain more than just quiet standing or sitting what besides angina is likely causing there pain   acute pericarditis  
🗑
in angina what position is best to rest in to relieve pain lying down or standing up   standing up or quietly sitting is best lying down does not relieve angina  
🗑
what are anginal equivalents   discomfort is limited to area of secondary radiation such as lower jaw teeth neck shoulders nausea indigestion dizziness diaphoresis  
🗑
What other s/sx accompanying angina should be concerning   profuse sweating- may indicate acute MI or aortic dissection, or Pulmonary Effusion nausea and vomiting- MI SOB-MI, pneumothorax or Pulmonary effusion Palpitations- Acute MI  
🗑
What is important about angina in women, diabetics and elderly   it presents atypically. more vasospastic, microvascular angina  
🗑
When do women often report chest discomfort   at rest during sleep during mental stress  
🗑
What is dyspnea   abnormally uncomfortable awareness of breathing  
🗑
if you have sudden development of dyspnea what might that indicate   pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, acute pulmonary edema, pneumonia, or airway obstruction  
🗑
If dyspnea develops slowly overtime what might that indicate   suggest chronic heart failure  
🗑
if you have exertional dyspnea what might that indicate   left ventricular failure, ischemic heart disease or chronic obstructive lung disease.  
🗑
if you have inspiratory dyspnea what might it be   suggest upper airway obstruction  
🗑
if you have expiratory dyspnea what might it be   lower airway obstruction  
🗑
if you have dyspnea at rest what might it be   pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, anxiety  
🗑
if dyspnea is an anginal equivalent what may it be associated with   sensation of tightness in the chest present on exertion or emotional stress relieved by rest similar to angina in duration usually responive to or prevented by nitro  
🗑
What is orthopnea   discomfort breathing while lying down patients with left ventricular failure start sleeping with 2 or more pillows to avoid the orthopnea  
🗑
what are the three types of syncope   cardiac syncope aortic stenosis syncope neurocardiogenic syncope/ syncope due to postural hypotension  
🗑
What are palpitations   unpleasant awareness of forceful or rapid beating of the heart  
🗑
how are palpitations described   Pounding Jumping or Skipping a beat Racing Irregularity of the heart beat A "flip flopping" A "rapid fluttering" Pounding in the neck Butterflies in my chest  
🗑
If your patient has claudications ie Peripheral Vascualr disease what else do they likely have   50% likelihood of having CAD  
🗑
What might you find on PE in angina   could have S3 or S4 xanthomas (cholesterol filled nodules) signs of CHF  
🗑
what is the most consistent ECG finding during acute ischemia   deviation of ST segment from current of injury mechanism  
🗑
what is the management for angina   risk factor modification asa daily NTG prn long actin nitrates BB, CCB PTCA(PCI) CABG  
🗑
what is the most common cause of MI   atherosclertotic palque ruptures stimulating thrombus formation  
🗑
What is the clinical findings for MI   Severe anginal type pains, usually lasting >30 minutes, NOT relieved by NTG or rest SOB Anxiety Diaphoresis N/V Syncope Atypical & silent presentations  
🗑
