ANGINA PECTORIS
• A major clinical manifestation of myocardial ischemia usually characterized by episodes of pain or pressure in the anterior chest
• Oftentimes a Precursor to Myocardial Infarction

Coronary Angiography (Gold Standard)
![Page 17: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Definition
• A Procedure performed to detect obstruction in the coronary arteries of the heart. During the procedure a catheter is inserted into an artery into the arm or groin (subclavian / femoral) and then threaded carefully into the heart The blood vessels of the heart are then studied by injection of contrast media through the catheter. A rapid succession of X-rays (fluoroscopy) is taken to view blood flow.

Nursing Considerations
• Assess patient allergy to iodine (seafood)• Assess blood test results for possible surgical
complications: hgb, aPTT, BUN, creatinine, plt, electrolyte levels
• During Procedure: Continuous BP and ECG monitoring, ensure IV line patency, Prepare resuscitation equipment incase any complication may occur
• Outpatient basis: 2-6 hours bed rest before ambulation
• After: Monitor for bleeding on catheter insertion site

Pharmacological Treatment
![Page 20: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ANTIPLATELET
• Aspirin (ASA)
bleeding precautions, blood coagulation tests, don’t use in patients with severe anemia, caution in pt with gout
• Clopidogrel (Plavix) for patients with contraindications to aspirin
![Page 21: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BETA-BLOCKERS
• Metoprolol, Atenolol, Propanolol
-Compete with endogenous catecholamines for beta-adrenergic receptors
-Contraindicated in CHF, Asthma, cardiogenic shock, AV conduction abnormalities
![Page 22: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS
• Smooth muscle relaxation-peripheral arterial vasodilation
• Amlodipine(Norvasc), Diltiazem, Verapamil,
-May increase LFT, use with caution in hepatic and renal patients, A/E include constipation (valsalva maneuver)
![Page 23: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Short-Acting Nitroglycerin
• Immediate relief of exertional or rest angina• Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitro-bid, Nitrol)
- Metered dose sprays and patches are used for prophylaxis
• Caution patients on vasodilating effects (headache), C/I in severe anemia, ischemia may worsen upon withdrawal
![Page 24: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Long Acting Nitroglycerin
• Causes venous and arterial dilatation• Ideal for prinzmetal angina• Isosorbide (Isordil, ISMO)• For patients with poor prognosis
![Page 25: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ACE Inhibitors
• Inhibits conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II thereby breaking RAAS chain resulting to vasodilation and reduced fluid retention (lowered aldosterone secretion)
• Ramipril (Altace)
![Page 26: angina pectoris](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54543b5fb1af9ff3308b491d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Anti-ischemic Agents
• Ranolazine (Ranexa)
-prolongs QT interval (Torsades de Pointes), inhibits fatty acid oxidation
-indicated for Chronic Angina unresponsivce to other anti-anginal agents
-does not reduce blood pressure or heart rate

Nursing Considerations:
• Assess blood test results for possible surgical complications: hgb, aPTT, BUN, creatinine, plt, electrolyte levels
• During Procedure: Continuous BP and ECG monitoring, ensure IV line patency, Prepare resuscitation equipment incase any complication may occur
• After: Monitor for bleeding on catheter insertion site
• Place 10lbs Sandbag on catheter insertion site (Femoral Artery) for max of 6 hours after surgery

Diet and Lifestyle Modifications

Specifics
• Reduce fat, sodium and cholesterol in the diet• Avoid stimulating agents such as those that
