CCD Lecture1-6 Flashcards
Chronic Coronary Disease
-stable angina
-stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD)
-post-ACS
Clinical syndromes of CCD
-stable angina (macrovascular disease)
-stable outpatient post ACS
-variant/prinzmetal’s angina (vasospastic disease)
-INOCAD/Cardiac syndrome X
-silent myocardial ischemia
Types of angina
-prinzmetal/variant (vasospastic): artery closes bc spasm
-stable angina (fixed stenosis): plaque
-unstable: thrombus
Myocardial supply and demand
-imbalance = ischemia
-Contractility
-HR
-Preload
-Afterload
factors increasing demand
-inc HR
-inc afterload (from vasoconstriction)
-inc preload (from vasoconstriction)
-all = more O2 used
Factors decreasing supply
-inc HR
-inc preload
stable angina patho
-associated w ASCAD
-85% of pt have significant CAD (>70-75% reduction)
-most pt have at least one occlusion
-ischemia caused by fixed obstruction in epicardial artery
epicardial vessels
-Right Coronary Artery (RCA): big one on left side
-Left Main (LM): goes down back of heart
-Left circumplex (LCX): goes down right side towards back
-Left Anterior Descending (LAD): big one in middle also where widowmaker happens
Myocardial Ischemia
-imbalance between supply and demand
-effort induced when low supply
-disturbs heart function w/o necrosis
-presents as angina
Stable Angina
-resulting sx from ischemia
-chest discomfort
-relieves itself
Angina pain
-chest, left arm, jaw
-women and diabetics (nerve damage) often don’t present w pain
Angina ECG
-ST depression only during event
Diagnosis of angina
-hx and physical exam
-st depression during ischemia (elevation in variant angina tho)
-cardiac imaging (stress test, PET scan, heart scan that gives ca score but kinda sketchy)
-echocardiography (ultrasound)
-catheterization and angiography (dye in arteries)
Some true statements
-women and diabetes have atypical sx
-angina is discomfort associated w ischemia
-prinzmetal’s/variant angina is associated w vasospasm
-CCD is usually associated w ASCAD
Angina tx goals in dyslipidemia and HTN
-50% reduction of LDL
-BP < 130/80
angina risk factor mods
-respiratory virus vax
-minimize alc consumption (2 drinks/day for men 1 for women)
CCD treatment goals
-reduce ACS risk
-manage angina
Tx to reduce heart risk
- Antiplatelets
- Statin
- ACE/ARB
- Colchicine maybe
- Beta Blockers
Antiplatelet tx options
-Aspririn
-P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, cangreor (IV only))
Aspirin
-COX-1 but COX-2 at high doses (bad)
-81mg maintenance dose
-bleeding side effects
-Ecotrin
COX-1 inhibition
-block TXA2 synthesis
-interferes w platelet aggregation and blocks thrombi
-COX-2 blocks PGI tho which is an anticoagulant = higher thrombotic risk if COX-2 blocked
P2Y12 inhibitors
-block P2Y12
-blocks ADP induced platelet activation/aggregation
-no effect on TXA2
-prodrugs are activated by CYP
-must stop 5-7days before surgery
-peak in 2-4 hours
-all increase bleeding risk when combo w aspirin
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
-P2Y12 prodrug (thienopyridine)
-75mg maintenance
-CYP dependent
-bleeding, diarrhea, RASH
-1% inc in bleeding risk w ASA
Prasugrel (Effient)
-P2Y12 prodrug (thienopyridine)
-10mg maintenance
-less CYP dependent than clopidogrel
-bleeding, diarrhea, RASH
-0.6% in bleeding risk w ASA
-DO NOT use in hx of TIA, ICH, stroke
