Q

Ischemic cardiomyopathy

A
  1. caused by narrowing of coronary arteries, diminished blood supply to heart.
  2. most common type of dilated cardiomyopathy
  3. caused by CAD

16
Q

stable angina

A
  1. caused by mismatch between O2 delivery and need
  2. brought on by exertion/stress
  3. predictable HR
  4. crushing or squeezing substernal sensation w/possible radiation down L arm
  5. reduction in stress reduces symptoms
17
Q

treatment for stable angina

A

nitroglycerin

causes systemic vasodilation

18
Q

unstable angina

A
  • exertion/stress
  • unpredictable onset
  • crushing or squeezing substernal sensation w/possible radiation down L arm
  • poor prognosis
19
Q

IHD:

plaque rupture

A
  • exposes thrombogenic lipids to blood

- stimulates localized thrombus formation with ischemic outcomes

20
Q

IHD:

Occlusive event

A

damage dependent on CA involved and time before treatment

21
Q

MI:

stages (0-7 days)

A

0-6 hrs: no change

6-24 hrs: early features coagulative necrosis

1-4 days: coagulative necrosis w/acute inflammatory response

5-7 days: macrophage activity

22
Q

MI:

stages (7 days-3 mo)

A

7-10 days: developing peripheral rim of granulation tissue

1-6 weeks: progressive organization of infarct

1-3 months: progressive collagen deposition, mature replacement scar

23
Q

MI:

area of injury becomes a scar, leading to:

A
  • wall movement issues

- electrical propagation issues

24
Q

Reperfusion injury

A

tissue damage when blood returns to tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of O2

associated with microvascular injury

25
Q

Sudden cardiac death

A
  • 50% of deaths from CAD
  • V fib, asystole (flat line)
  • acute coronary plaque rupture/thrombosis
  • clinically quiet MI
  • No acute lesion but >60% stenosis of a CA
