Unstable Angina Def
Angina at rest > 20 min, New onset angina, Increase frequency Negative troponin
NSTEMI Def
Sx of MI with positive troponin, neg EKG No Fibrinolytics Treat with PCI within 2 hours of presentation.
Treatment of UA/NSTEMI
ASA 162-325 mg chewable ASAP , Clopidrogel 300 mg load followed by 75 mg for up to 12 months, Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa ( eptifibatide or tirofiban), Anticoagulation with either UFH, LMWH ( Enoxaparin) , Bivalirudin, or Fondaparinux.
STEMI Treatment
PCI if can be done in < 90 min and Sx < 12 hours, or Fibrinolytic tPA if > 2 hours from PCI facility. t-pa in conjunction with DAPT, Anticoagulation, and BB.
Fibrinolytic Contraindications
Intracranial hemorrhage, IC AVM, neoplasm, stroke/6mo, head trauma/3mo, Aoritic dissection, surgery/2 wk/ active bleeding.
CABG Indications
L main dz, 3 vessel + DM/ low EF, 2 vessel + prox LAD + DM/ low EF : DC Plavix 5 days before CABG. ASA ok to continue
EST indications
Symptomatic, Intermediate risk and can exercise. Men > 40, women> 50, Preop for vascular surgery or transplant with symptoms.
Def Positive Stress Test
Symptoms with exercise, Drop in BP > 10 or BP elevation > 250/115, ST elevation 1 mm or ST depression 2 mm.
ACS Treatment
Morphine: only for unacceptable pain, Oxygen only if O2 sat < 90, NTG SL x 3 IV to hold for SBP< 90, HR < 50 or > 100, ASA 325 chew, ACE, Statin, GPI , Anticoagulation, DAPT
Fondaparinux indication
ACS, VTE, DVT: Similar to LMWH, Indirect inhibitor of factor xa, injectable SQ once daily dose, No monitoring or platelet interaction , no reversal agent.
NSTEMI Ischemia Strategy
DAPT, Anticoagulant: UFH or Enoxaparin or Fondaparinux
NSTEMI Early invasive strategy
DAPT, Anticoagulate ( UFH/Enoxaparin/Fondaparinux/Bivalirudin), GPI for high risk Eptifibatide or Tirofiban
Primary prevention ASA
No bleeding risk ( HASbled), life expectancy > 10 yr, 50-60: ASCVD risk > 10%, 60-70: Individual decision, > 50 with DM: ASCVD > 10% + one risk factor ( HTN, FHx, smoking)
Stable CAD treatment
ASA 81 mg, Statin mod/high dose, ACE, Antianginal( 1. BB,2. CCB, 3. Nitrate, 4. Ranolazine, life style factors.
Nuclear Stress test: Indications
Resting ST abnormality, LBBB, WPW, LVH, Paced Rhythm, Dig, Obese or COPD and can't exercise.
Nuclear stress test positive
ST depression > 2mm or > 1 mm in > 5 leads, VT, Low BP, Angina, < 4 mets, 1 large defect, > 2 reversible defects, increase lung uptake : Any of these will go on to angiography
Risk assessment screening test
CRP > 2, CA Calcification > 300 , ABI < 0.9 If Elevated ASCVD > 7.5 councel re: BP , Chold, Wt, lifestyle. Coronary CTA: anatomical test for plaque burden. Look at graft post CABG and help risk stratify, Calcium scan: Help determine if asymptomatic intermediate risk needs statin to stabilize plaque. Do not repeat.
Lipid treatment guideline
1. ASCVD < 75 y.o - high intensity statin, > 75 yo - low intensity, 2. Severe LDL > 190 in 20-75 - max tolerated statin, 3. DM > 40 - mod intensity, DM > 40 with 10 yr risk > 20% - high intensity statin, 4. Adults > 40-75 with ASCVD risk > 7.5% - moderate intensity statin.
What are moderate intensity statins?
Atorvastatin 10 mg/d, Fluvastatin 40 mg bid, Simvastatin 20 mg/d Harmful if exceed > 40 mg/d.
What is high intensity statin?
Atorvastatin 40-80 mg/d, Rosuvastatin 20 mg/d.
How do you treat statin myalgia
Look for interacting drugs, Check CPK, . 10 stop med, lower statin dose or give it 1-2x/wk, Check ALT yearly.
What are secondary causes of elevate lipids?
DM, ETOH, Thyroid, obesity and drugs ( HCTZ)
What type of murmur is MR and what causes it?
Systolic murmur, caused by MVP and RF
How do you manage MR?
Look for sx: dyspnea, fatigue. Monitor yearly echo, Referr for surgery if abnormal LV size or function, pulmonary HTN, or new onset A fib.
What type of murmur is MS
Diastolic with open snap, caused mostly by RF
How do you manage MS?
If symptomatic with diuretics and rate control. Prone to A fib and pulmonary HTN,. Referr to surgery when valve are is < 1.3
Who need antibiotic prophylaxis for Infective Endocarditis?
1. prosthetic valve, 2. Previous IE, 3. Heart transplant, 4. Congenital HD
Which heart block do you pace?
Symptomatic ones. Mobitz type 2 and 3rd degree. If unstable give atropine. Look for reversible causes.
How do you treat hemodynamically unstable bradycardia?
HR < 50 with confusion, angina, dyspnea : Give Atropine 0.5mg IV Q 3-5 min If not better temporary transcutaneous pacer. Sadate if conscious. Give Dopamine for low BP and Dobutamine for CHF.
What are some of the reversible causes for bradycardia?
