Question
Answer
Immediate Treatment for an Acute MI   MONA Morphine, O2, Nitroglycerine, ASA  
🗑
3 Areas of Damage after MI   Injury, Ischemia, Infarction  
🗑
Infarction   O2 deprived, irreversible damage, Q-wave on EKG, Transmural  
🗑
Injury- MI   Tissue viable if circulation remains adequate, Increasing O2 may save this area, S-T segment elevation on EKG  
🗑
Ischemia MI   Tissue may be viable and may not be damaged as long as MI is ended and provided collateral circulation can compensate, depressed S-T on EKG  
🗑
Beta Blockers   Usually end in OLOL, Block Beta Receptors in Heart (SNS) so decreases HR, Contractile Force, Rate of A-V conduction  
🗑
Beta Blocker Side Effects   Bradycardia, lethargy, GI disturbance, CHF,Decrease BP, Depression  
🗑
Beta Blocker Names   Atenolol (Tenormin), Propanolol (Inderol), Metoprolol (Lopressor)  
🗑
Ace Inhibitors   Decrease peripheral vascular resistance without increasing CO, HR, Contractility  
🗑
Ace Inhibitor Side Effects   Dizziness, Orthostatic Hypostension, GI Upset, Cough, Headache  
🗑
Ace Inhibitor Names   Captopril (Capoten), Enalapril (Vasotec), Benazpril (Lotensin)  
🗑
Bradycardia And Drugs to Lower BP   Isoproterenol, dopamine, Epinepherine, Atropine  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blockers   Block Calcium Access to Cells  
🗑
Ca Channel Blocker Action   Decrease Contractility, Decrease Conductivity of Heart, thus decreasing Demand for O2  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blocker Side Effects   Decrease BP, bradycardia, may precipitate A-V Block, Headache, Abdominal Discomfort (constipation, nausea), Peripehral Edema  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blocker Names   Verapamil, Nefedipine, Diltiazem (Very Nice Drugs mnemonic)  
🗑
Beta 1 Blockers   These beta blockers affect the heart  
🗑
Beta 2 Blockers   These beta blockers affect the lungs  
🗑
Cardiac Enzymes   CK/CPK, CK-MB, Myoglobin, Troponin, AST, LDH  
🗑
CK/CPK   Onset of Elevation (3-6 hours), Peak (10-30 hours) Return to baseline (3-4 days)  
🗑
CK-MB   Onset of Elevation (4-8 Hours), Peak (12-24 Hours), Baseline Return (3 days)  
🗑
Myoglobin   Onset of Elevation (2-6 hours), peak (8 hours), baseline (12-18 hours)  
🗑
Troponin   Onset of Elevation (1-5 hours), peak elevation (14-21 hours), baseline 7 days  
🗑
AST   Onset of Elevation (6 hours), Peak (12-14 hours), Baseline (4 days)  
🗑
LDH   Onset of Elevation (24-48 hours), Peak Elevation (3-6 days), Baseline 14 days  
🗑
CK/CPK   Does not elevate with CHF, Angina, PE  
🗑
Myoglobin   Released into circulation after injury, Used for early dx of MI (values double w/in 2 hours after onset of chest pain in acute MI) This lab is drawn when pt presents with chst pain and then in 2 hours.  
🗑
Troponin   Values greater than 1.5ng/ml Indicates Myocardial damage, Normal values do not rule out MI, values increase as early as one hour after onset of chest pain  
🗑
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)   Not necessarily specified for MI, when used in conjunction with CK-MB and LDH timing of MI can be predicted  
🗑
LDH (lactic dehydrogenase)   If LDH 1 > LDH 2 then positive for acute MI  
🗑
BNP   Stored in Ventricular myocardium, Levels increase with diastolic pressure increases. Elevated in CHF, Ventricular Hypertrophy, Severe HTN  
🗑
ASA- During MI   324mg  
🗑
ASA- Maintainence Dose   324mg  
🗑
ASA- prophylactic Dose   81mg  
🗑
Nitroglycerine Action   Increase BF and stimulates blood flow to coronary artery, contraindicated in those using viagra as both vasodilate and could cause fatal hypotension and heart collapse  
🗑
Morphine- action in MI   decrease pain, bronchodilates to lessen MI dramatically  
🗑
Beta Blocker in MI   Standard unless BP extremely low then hold  
🗑
Vasopressors- in heart disease   Casise vasoconstriction to increase pressur in severe hypotension  
🗑
Transmural MI   Q-wave present, entire thickness is affected, often affects left ventricle, compromises cardiac efficiency  
🗑
Non-Transmural MI   Non-Qwave MI, S-T elevation and or depresion and possible T wave inversion  
🗑
