  • RCA
  • Leads II, III, and aVF
3
Q

Which artery is involved in RV infarction and which leads will show this best?

A
  • RCA
  • V3R-V6R
4
Q

Which artery is involved in lateral wall infarction and which leads will this be seen in best?

A
  • Circumflex artery
  • Leads I, aVL + V5-V6
5
Q

A
  • Posterior descending artery
  • V1-V3
6
Q

LVH due to AS, anemia, emotion, stress, fever, and thyrotoxicosis can all contribute to what type of angina (supply/demand)?

A

Demand Angina

7
Q

What are 3 biochemial consequences of ischemia?

A
  • Fatty acids can’t be oxidized
  • ↑ lactate production
  • Reduced pH w/ metabolic acidosis
8
Q

What are some of the ECG abnormalities seen with ischemia; what is ischemia is subendocardial or subepicardial?

A
  • Inversion of T wave
  • Transient displacement of ST segment
  • Depression = subendocardial
  • Elevation = subepicardial
9
Q

Pt presenting with chest pain that seems like an MI has an S3 gallop, what is the S3?

A

May be “impending” LV dysfunction leading to HF

10
Q

Why might you hear a murmur representing MR in a patient who presents to the ED with what seems to be an MI?

A

Dysfunction of the papillary m. during the chest pain led to MR

11
Q

List 5 CV causes of Chest Pain

A
  • Ischemic HD (angina, UA, ACS, MI)
  • Valvular HD
  • Pericarditis
  • Myocarditis
  • Cardiomyopathies
12
Q

List some of the non-cardiac causes of chest pain?

A
  • Pleuritis/Pneumonia/PE/Pulmonary infarction/Pneumothorax
  • GI —> GERD, PUD, gallstones, esophageal motility disorders
  • Chest wall syndromes
  • Lung cancer
  • Aortic aneursym
13
Q

List some of the non chest pain sx’s of chronic ischemic heart disease?

A
  • Dyspnea
  • Mid-epigastric or abdominal pain
  • Diaphoresis
  • Excessive fatigue and weakness
  • Dizziness and syncope
14
Q

Systolic murmur or MR due to papillary muscle dysfunction is associated with ischemia in which location and due to what artery?

A
  • Inferior or inferior-posterior ischemia
  • Due to RCA
15
Q

List 5 cardiac dysfunctions which can all mimic angina in the absence of CAD

A
  • Aortic stenosis
  • Aortic insufficiency
  • Pulmonary HTN
  • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
  • Heart Failure
16
Q

Chest pain with elevation of cardiac enzymes (troponin I or CK-MB) and without ST elevation is known as?

A

NSTEMI

17
Q

In unstable angina/NSTE ACS the magnitude of what correlates with prognosis?

A

ST segment depression

18
Q

Stress cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo syndrome) will have what ECG change and have a similar presentation to what?

A
  • Deeply inverted T wave
  • Similar presentation to NSTE ACS
19
Q

Increase in which labratory marker is associated with an increased mortality in NSTE ACS?

A

BNP

20
Q

During stress testing for atherosclerotic CAD what are 5 signs associated with a high risk for coronary event?

A
  1. Positive stress test at low work load
  2. ST depression >5 mins after completing test
  3. Decrease in BP - syst. fall >10 mmHg during exercise
  4. Ventricular tachycardia during exercise
  5. Reduced EF during exercise (stress echo)
21
Q

Which type of stress test is preferred if patient is suspected to have angina and is also very safe?

A

Exercise electrocardiography

22
Q

If patient is unable to exercise/abnormal LBBB on ECG or LVH; what stress test should be used?

A

Pharmacologic Stress Test
