37
Stunned myocardium is
Short term total/near total reduction of coronary blood flow but is restablished and results in LV dysfx

45

<15m
46

47
Unstable angina is essentially
A change in pattern (unpredictable) New onset Intensified S/S Prolonged episodes
48
Variant (Prinzmetal) Angina is
Chest pain recurrent at rest or at night and is secondary to a coronary spasm
49
Cardiac syndrome X is
Pt has typical S/S of angina pectoris but with no other evidence on myocardial issues
50
Silent ischemia is
Cardiac ischemia that occurs in the absence of discomfot or other S/S
51
Silent ischemia is more common with who
DM pts due to impaired pain sensations and in (elderly and women)
52
Three key angina questions
Is CP substernal, Retrosternal,epigastric Are S/S brought on by exercise Are S/S relieved w/in 5m of rest or NTG
53
Answers to key questions
3 yes = typical angina 2 yes = atypical angina <2 Yes = Non-anginal
54
Risk factors for CAD (5)
M >55 and F >65 Known CAD or cerebrovascular disease Pain not producible by palpitation Pain worse during exercise pt assume pain is cardiac in nature
55
Low risk (0-1) CAD & chest pain
Eval pt for noncardiac causes
56
Mod risk (2-3) CAD & chest pain
Order EKG if POS then give O2, ASA, and transport
57
High risk (4-5) CAD & chest pain
Order EKG and give O2, ASA, and transport
58
Most likely what would you find on a PE of chronic stable angina
Nothin on PE
59
Dx tests for high probability CAD
1st Stress imaging and if Severe or with high RFs CT angiography and revasc (PCI or CABG)
60
Dx tests for Intermediate probability CAD
Stress EKG or Stress imaging
61
Dx tests for Intermediate probability CAD
Stress EKG
62

Primary is to prevent Lifestyle mod Pharm
66
Pharm to prevent anginal attacks

67
Vasculo-protective TXT regiment of pharm for stable angina
Anti-PLT Lower lipids ? Blockers ACEI (high risk pts)
68
What is first line therapy to reduce anginal episodes
? Blocker (goal HR is 55-60bpm)
69

B blocker
70
Efx ?eta-1 have

72
What are the 4 types of B-Blockers
Non selective Beta1/2 (propanolol) Selective beta1 (metoprolol,atenolol) Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity Selective alpha, non selective ? block
73
CI to use B-Blk
Bradycardia <55HR or symptomatic PRI >0.24 or 2/3 degree heart block Decompensated HF Hx of severe asthma DM with hypoglycemia episodes
74

84
Stable angina management of anti-PLT therapy consist of

85

BB
87
Will an ACEI improve an angina
NO
88
Who is an ACEI inhibitor good for that has an angina

If angina S/S dont respond Rx therapy Unacceptable SEs from Rx High risk coronary disease
90
When is CABG more appropriate
Large amount of myocardium at risk Pts with 3 vessel disease Complexed anatomy of L-main DZ L-ventricular systolic fx
91
When is PCI best managed
Pts with one or two vessel disease
92
The COURAGE trial suggests
PCI was no better than Rx therapy at reducing mortality/events but was effective at long term symptom relief
93
PCI stands for
Percutaneous coronary intervention
94
PCI consists of
Percutaneous transluminal CA Coronary artery stents (Drug eluding)
95
What are the names of the drug eluding stents
Sirolemus and Paclitaxel
96
PCI concept is
Under fluroscopy a balloon tipped cath is manueuvered to the stenotic portion of the coronary artery and inflated
97
CABG concept is
Rerouting/bypassing obstructive coronary arteries via a portion of ones own saphenous vein or an internal mammary artery (better prog)
98
Revascularization steps
1.Pt needs coronary angiography? 2.Pt needs revascularization? 3.PCI or CABG?
