3 main presentations of unstable angina

1) Rest angina 2) New onset angina 3) Increasing angina

DDx Chest pain- Acute coronary syndrome other cardiovascular causes

Aortic dissection (really bad back pain) Aortic stenosis Pericarditis Myocarditis Hypertropic cardiomyopathy Aortic regurgitation Mitral valve prolapse Severe anemia

Typical vs. Atypical chest pain Atypical Chest pain

Associated symptoms or anginal equivalents (dyspnea, n/v, indigestion, diaphoresis, syncope)

CK-MB is specific to ___________ whereas troponin is specific to _____________

CK-MB: cardiac muscle troponin: MI

Ddx Chest pain: GI causes-

Inferior MI

II, III, aVF

_______________is indicated for relief of ongoing ischemic discomfort that responds to nitrate therapy, control of hypertension , or management of pulmonary congestion

IV NTG

if the patient admits that _____________helped when angina, it would be cardiac. if not focuse on other etiology

NTG

what is this angina? angina of at least CCS III severity with onset within 2 months of initial presentation

New onset unstable angina

DDx Chest pain- Pulmonary causes

Pulmonary embolus Pneumothorax Pleurisy = Pleuritic (when taking a deep breath) --> D-dimer

Aspirin use in STEMI

dosing: 162-325 (just give the big dose)

Significant Q wave where none previously existed should be noted because it is

impulse traveling away from the positive lead necrotic tissue is electronically dead --> old or acute transmural MI

Qualifications of PCI

1) STEMI (including posterior MI), MI w/ new or presumably new LBBB 2) PCI of infarct artery within 12 hrs of symptom onset 3) Balloon inflation within 90min of presentation 4) Skilled personnel available (>75 procedures / yr) 5) Appropriate lab environment (lab >200PCIs/ yr, at least 36 primary PCI for STEMI) 6) cardiac surgical backup available 7) Medical contact to balloon or door-to-balloon = 90min 8) PCI preferred if >3 hrs from symptom onset 9) Primary PCI if pt with severe CHF and/or PE and onset of symptoms w/in 12 hrs

What is the definition of typical angina?

1) substernal chest discomfort with a characteristic quality and duration that is 2) provoked by exertion or emotional stress and 3) relieved by rest or NTG Pain + what makes it tick + what makes it go away

what you tell your patient who is experiencing chest pain with prescribed nitroglycerin (NTG) at home?

1) use 0.4mg NTG x 3 q 5 min -------if symptoms don't improve 2) Call 911

Times to remember in STEMI

10 min: time for ED eval 30 min: door to needle 90 min: door to balloon 3 hours (symptom onset) --> fibrinolytic vs PCI therapy 12 hours (symptom onset): time limit for revascularization therapy

Emergent diagnostic testing for STEMI includes:

12 lead EKG (cannot tell which part of the heart is damaged if only II lead, rhythm strip printed) Cardiac enzymes (CPK, CKMB, troponin): leakage of the cardiac cell enzymes CBC ( r/o anemia) BMP, CMP (electrolyte, potassium & magnesium) Coagulation studies (r/o liver problems, INR before getting to the cath lab) D-dimer (r/opulmonary embolism) PA and lateral CXR (r/p pneumonia, PE, dissection

Grade this angina per ACC angina classification Angina occurs with strenuous, rapid, or prolonged exertion at work or recreation

Class I angina

Grade this angina per ACC Angina classification angina occurs on walking 3 blocks and climbing 2 flights of stairs. Angina occurs with cold, wind, and under emotional stressed.

Morphine use in STEMI

Dosing: 2-4mg IV w/ 2-8mg IV repeated q 5-15 min --> analgesic of choice --> decreases preload

Acronym for reading 12-lead ekg

I See in All Leads I: II, II, aVF (inferior) See: V1, V2 (Septal) All: V3, V4 (Anterior) Leads: V5, V6, aVL, I (Lateral)

Angina is graded by ACC classification.

I. Ordinary physical activity does not cause angina: such as walking or climbing stairs. Angina occurs with strenuous, rapid, or prolonged exertion at work or recreation. II. Slight limitation of ordinary activity: angina occurs on walking or climbing stairs rapidly; walking uphill; walking or stair climbing after meals; in cold, in wind, or under emotional stress; or only during the few hours after awakening. Angina occurs on walking > 2 blocks on the level and climbing >1 flight of ordinary stairs at a normal pace and under normal conditions III. Marked limitations of ordinary physical activity: Angina occurs on walking 1-2 blocks on the level and climbing 1 flight of stairs under normal conditions and at a normal pace IV. Inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort: anginal symptoms may be present at rest

what is this angina previously diagnosed angina that is distinctly more frequent, longer in duration or lower in threshold (increased by at least one CCSC class within 2 months of initial presentation to at least CCS III)

Increasing unstable angina

Interhospital transfer to PCI capable. Time is still ticking. EMS-to-balloon is 90 min. you have 75 min

Acute pharmacologic interventions in STEMI

MONAB Morphine (decreases preload & decreases circulatory volume & cardiac output) Oxygen Nitroglycerine (vasodilation--> increase cardiac blood flow) Aspirin (coronary artery disease, prevent thrombosis) Beta blockers (Keep neurohormonal changes, decreases cardiac output, keep rate down)

Myocardial infarction directly related to portionts of myocardium rendered electrically inactive

Which cardiac biomarker is considered the Gold Standard to diagnose STEMI?

Troponins

T/F physical exam is often normal in ischemic heart disease

True

Higher the troponin I level is related to mortality after NSTEMI T/F

True % mortality at 42 days 0.4~ 1.0 = 2% >9.0 = 8%

T/F NSTEMI has elevated troponin levels

True. myocardium damage= troponin if negative troponin level with chest pain + no ST elevation = unstable angina

Lateral MI

V5, V6, I, aVL

BB use in STEMI- should it be given if fibrinolytic therapy or PCI is done?

YES. oral Bb therapy should be administered promptly without a contraindication regardless of fibrinolytic / PCI therapy (1st 24 hrs of MI) IV Bb given promptly to STEMI pts esp. if a tachyarrhthmia or htN Contraindications: Hypotension, bradycardia

diaphoresis or other signs of hypoperfusion Congestive signs: JVD, rales, S3 Abnormal heart sounds: S3, new murmur Hypoxia Arrhytmias, especially ventricular (PVCs, a couple runs of V tach), although must rule out MI with new onset afib

STEMI patients should be place don plavix regardless of reperfusion therapy (fibrolysis, PCI, or neither) TRUE 75mg PO daily x14 days (1 yr if <75 yo)

even if they didn't have any intervention, they should be placed on Plavix
