ETIOLOGY
• Manifestation of atheroma with preserved caliber of lumen
• Rupture of the plaque’s fibrous cap causing a thrombosis
• The clot overwhelms the endogenous fibrinolytic mechanism may propagate and lead to occlusion
![Page 3: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CLINICAL MANEFESTATIONS
• Transient ischemic cardiac events if prolonged can lead to necrosis and scarring with or without MI
• Patients can present with cardiomegaly and heart failure secondary to ischemia of damage left ventricle
![Page 4: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ANGINA
• Chest pain caused by mismatch of myocardial O2 supply & demand
• Classified as:– Stable (usually from concentric plaque)
• Usually 2º atherosclerotic obstruction
– Unstable (usually from an ulcerated, ruptured plaque)-nidus for platelet aggregation
• New onset or increased frequency
Only about 20% of pts. with ischemic ST changes have classic angina
![Page 5: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ANGINA TREATMENT
• Modify risk factors & correct aggravating factors (anemia, HTN, drug abuse, non-compliance)
• Emphasize meds. known to prolong survival post-MI
• ASA also should be standard therapy• CCRB and nitrates may be useful for symptoms• Careful with combining meds. with similar effects
(ie. Beta blockers, and verapamil)
![Page 6: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS
• Dyspnea
• Diaphoresis
• Dizziness
• Syncope
• Palpations
• Deep breathing pain
• Nausea and vomiting• Edema• Orthropnea• Paroxysmal nocturnal
dyspnea• Positional pain
![Page 7: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CARDIAC RISK FACTORS
OTHER• Hx CVA and PVD
disease
Absolute - FH- smoking- DM- HTN - Hyperlipidemia (LDL> 130, HDL<35)- AGE
(men>45,Female>55)
Relative• Obesity• sedentary life• stress • postmenopausal state
![Page 8: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ROLE OF INFLAMATION AS A RISK FACTOR
• Vascular injury
• Lipid peroxidation: along with the effects of HTN, DM, and smoking amplify the harmful effects of oxidized LDL cholesterol
• Chronic inflammation promoting athersclerotic plaque which rupture and thrombose in vessels
![Page 9: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CIRCULATING MEDIATOR
Inflammatory process:• Acute phase reactants • Cell adhesion molecules• Inflammatory Markers-
– C-reactive protein (CRP)– IL-6– serum amylase A– TNF alpha – selectins– macrophage inhibitor cytokines 1– CD40 ligands
![Page 10: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Characteristic of CRP
• High sensitivity
• Assay well standardized
• Widely available
• Strong predictor of future myocardial infarctions and stroke
• High plasma concentration are associated with a 1.5-to-7 fold increase in the relative risk of symptomatic atherosclerosis
![Page 11: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Role of homocysteine in risk stratification
• Statistically significant but modest increase in risk of CAD events
• Folic acid can reduce serum elevation
• Neither prospective or randomized trails show reduction in elevation reduces CHD risk
• Routine measurement are not warranted
![Page 12: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
• Goals are reduce coronary morbidity and mortality via:
• Primary prevention: reducing risk of first
event
• Secondary prevention: reducing risk of
event in person with established
disease
![Page 13: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Correct reversible risk factors: smoking, hypertension, uncontrolled DM, obesity, stress, life style modification
• Risk Stratification (Table 27.4)
![Page 14: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CAD Risk Association with Lipoprotein Cholesterol Abnormalities
Lipoprotein cholesterol
Levels (mg/dl) Estimated
CHD Risk
LDL <130 low
130-159 moderate
>160 high
HDL >65(chol/HDL ratio >4.5) low
<35(chol/HDL ratio <4.5) Mod-high
VLDL 50-100(or fasting TG 250-500) low
>100(or fasting TG >500) ? high
![Page 15: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DIAGNOSIS
• First step: estimate pretest probability base on know CV risk factor(age, gender) and symptoms) Is as follows:
• Low(<10%):
- Asymtomatic men and women of all
ages
- Women younger than 50 yrs or order
with typical angina
![Page 16: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Intermediate (10%-90%): – Men of all ages with atypical angina– Women 50yrs or older with atypical angina– Women 30-59yrs with typical angina
• High (>90%):– Men 40yrs or older with typical angina– Women 60yrs or older with typical angina
![Page 17: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TESTING MODALITIESCardiac Stress Testing: • Preferred approach to assessing CAD in patients with suspected or
known disease• Goal to induce myocardial ischemia by increasing myocardial
oxygen demand• Indicated for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia• Indicated for ECG abnormalities WPW, >1mm resting ST
depression, LBBB• After cardiac catherization to identify if ischemia is present in the
distribution of the coronary lesion identified
![Page 18: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Exercise Stress Test
• Preferred to pharmacologic stress• Provides data on exercise capacity and
hemodynamic response to exercise • Patients with normal baseline ECG, ischemia
can be detected using ECG monitoring• Patient with abnormal baseline ECG, who
undergo pharmacologic or exercise stress testing, either echocardiographic or radionuclide imaging is needed to detect ischemia
![Page 19: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stress Echo
• Detects provoked regional ventricular wall motion abnormality
• Uses myocardial perfusion imaging:– Sestambi(Cardiolite) radionuclide tracer,
decrease uptake represent the area of ischemia measure by scintigraphy
– Vasodilator agents: Adenosine, Persantine and dobutamine
![Page 20: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Postitron Emission Tomography(PET)
• More specific and sensitive than conventional nuclear imaging
• Can combine high resolution CT imaging of anatomy and function for noninvasive assessment of coronary disease
![Page 21: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Coronary Angiography
• Invasive
• Pretest probability of disease is high
• Stress test is positive
• Symptomatic presentation despite a negative stress test
• Diagnosis and therapy can be preformed simultaneosly (i.e. percutaneous revascularization)
![Page 22: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Indication Revascularization in Patient with Chronic Stable Angina
CABG is recommended for• Left main coronary artery stenosis• 3-vessel CAD(greatest survival benefit with EF
<50%)• 2-vessel CAD and proximal LAD stenosis with
LV EF <50% or ischemia on noninvasive testing• 1-2 vessel CAD w/o prox LAD stenosis who
survived sudden cardiac death or sustain VT
![Page 23: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is recommended for– Nondiabetics w/ 2-vessel CAD – Proximal LAD stenosis – Normal LV function w/ anatomy amenable to
PCI
![Page 24: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Either CABG or PCI recommended – 1 or 2 vessel CAD w/o prox LAD stenosis and
high risk criteria on noninvasive testing– Prior CABG or PCI w/ recurrent stenosis and
a large area of ischemia or high risk criteria on noninvasive testing
– Symptoms refractory to medical therapy with an acceptable risk of revascularization
![Page 25: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
TREATMENT
• Vigorous lifestyle modification- low fat and cholesterol diet; regular exercise; and smoking cessation
• Aspirin- antiplatelet • Statin- lipid-lowering• Beta blocker and CCB- reducing
myocardial oxygen consumption• ACE inhibitor-especially patients w/ DM
and /or left ventricle systolic dysfunction
![Page 26: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Nitrates: reduce angina by peripheral venodilation and coronary artery dilation– To avoid tolerance need atleast 8hrs daily
free period– Do not use in patients receiving
phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors( sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil) lead to life threatening hypotension
![Page 27: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hyperlipidemia Drugs
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (Statins)• First line • Inhibits intracellular cholesterol and increase
clearence LDL • Starting dose 10-20mg/d w/ max dose 80mg/d• Adverse effects hepatocellular dysfunction and

![Page 32: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Nonprescriptions dietary Supplements
Omega-3 Fish Oils– Decreases VLDL, and platelet inhibition
Antioxidant vitamins– Capable of increasing LDL resistance to oxidative changes and
reduce the risk of arterial wall injury
Garlic, Fiber, and Red yeast extract
![Page 33: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Treatment Thresholds
Recommendation of NCEP Panel
• High risk or CAD plus multiple risk factor • LDL cholesterol threshold 100mg/dl, treatment
goal <70mg/d
• Moderately high risk(no CAD, multiple risk factor and 10 yr CAD risk 10%-20%)
• LDL cholesterol threshold 130mg/dl, treatment goal <100mg/dl
![Page 34: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Moderate risk with 2 or more CAD risk
Factors (10yr risk probability is <10%)– LDL cholesterol cut off 160mg/dl
• Fewer than 2 CAD risk factors – LDL cholesterol >190mg/dl require drug rx– Optional rx for levels between 160-190mg/dl
![Page 35: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Isolated low HDL cholesterol– Treatment with statin seems to lower CAD
morbidity– Even though the strong inverse relationship
between HDL levels and CHD risk, there is no data showing that raising HDL alone significantly reduces CAD mortality
![Page 36: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Primary Prevention– NECP target LDL Cholesterol <130mg/dl,
ATPIII optimal level <100mg/dl and target of less than 100mg/dl for person with moderate high CAD risk
• Secondary Prevention– LDL cholesterol < 100mg/dl with an optimal
goal of <70mg/dl for very high risk patients
![Page 37: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION(AMI)
Overview• 15% are asymptomatic• Women more likely to have silent infarcts• Differential diagnosis of prolonged chest
pain: AMI, aortic dissection, pericarditis, esophageal problems, biliary tree, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pleurisy, chest wall problems, and psychogenic
![Page 38: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Arrhythmias in the first 48 hrs are due to ischemia
• MR due to papillary muscle dysfuntion is seen with inferior wall MIs
• VSD is seen with anterior and inferior MIs• Inferior MIs are associated with more stable
arrhythmias• Anterior MIs can result with poorer prognosis
associated with Mobitz II and BBBs• Both anterior and inferior MIs can result in septal
wall rupture
![Page 39: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
NSTEMI(non Q wave MI)/UA: episodic cessation of coronary blood flow or vasospasms(prinzmetal’s) or drug induce, like cocaine
• NSTEMI: Detectable release of biological markers(Tnp I, T, MB isoenzymes) hours
after the onset of ischemic chest pain
• Unstable angina(UA): no detectable markers released
![Page 40: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• STEMI(Q wave MI)– most often by occlusive thrombus– Rule out other life-threatening conditions (i.e. aortic
dissection, PE, tension pneumothorax, esophageal rupture, perforated ulcer)
– Risk stratification-TIMI risk score– ID higher risk patients for adverse event particularly
with anterior wall MIs– Cardiac marker helpful but do not delay
implementation of reperfusion therapy, if not contraindicated
![Page 41: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

• ST elevation: Q-wave(transmural infarct) or Non Q wave subendocardial infarct)MI– Not frequently seen– Earlist changes is hyperacute or peaked T waves– ST segment elevation in leads corresponding to
involved region of myocardial damage– Initially J point elevation and concave ST segments
![Page 45: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
- Over time ST segments becomes convex or rounded upwards- ST segment indistinguishable from T waves- QRS-T complex resemble a monophasic
action potential- Initial Q waves develop several hrs to days
and the loss of R wave amplitude
![Page 46: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Abnormal Q wave criteria: • Q waves in leads V1 to V3 or a Q wave
greater than or equal 30 msec in leads I, II, aVL, aVF, or V4 to V6
• Must be present in two contiguous leads and a depth greater than or equal 1mm
• Overtime Ist 2 wks or several hrs after the event R wave amplitude is markly reduced
• Q waves deepen
![Page 47: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MI By Henri Godbold MD Med Peds Noon Conference 9/21/2006](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a164d0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Overtime, several hrs or weeks after the
event– R wave amplitude is markedly reduced– Q-wave deepens– T waves become inverted

STEMI/New LBBB
• Consider emergent reperfusion (fibrinolytics or PCI) in ALL pts. that present with STEMI or new LBBB within 12 hrs. of onset of symptoms and who are < age 75
• Fibrinolytics– LBBB benefits most anterior>inferior (amt. of myocardium saved)– NSTEMI (not much myocardium lost), the risks of
fibrinolytics outweighs the benefits– So, ONLY give fibrinolytics to STEMI or NEW LBBB or
RBBBActually shown to increase mortality in NSTEMI

Medical Therapy for ACS STEMI
• Fibrionolytic (reteplase, tenectaplase)– Indications: PCI unavailable– timing: <6-12 hrs– CI: ICB, chronic severe HTN, elderly
• Glycoproteins IIb/IIIa inhibitors: (Abciximab)– Indications: All ACS– timing: on decision to go to cath lab– CI: CABG, coagulopathy, renal failure– Typically not given to those with UA/NSTEMI unless PCI is anticipated– Give along with ASA & heparin in those that PCI is likily

Contraindication to fibrinolytics
– Absolute• Previous hemorrhagic stroke at ANY time; other CV events within one year• Intracranial neoplasm• Active internal bleeding• Suspected aortic dissection
– Relative• Persistent BP>180/110• Remote CVA (>1year)• INR>2-3; bleeding problem• Recent (2-4 wks) major trauma• Non-compressible vascular puncture• Previous exposure to streptokinase/antistreplase• Pregnancy• Active peptic ulcer• Chronic HTN

• Narcotic analgesics: (Morphine)– Indications: Severe pain– Timing: Presentation– CI: Respiratory depression
• Antithrombotics: (Heparin, LMWH)– Indications: ALL ACS (except those who will receive
streptokinase)– Timing: Presentation– CI: thrombocytopenia, drug allergy– Heparin is required if using t-PA, r-PA, or TNK– LMWH is better in pts. with NSTEMI

• Nitrates: sublingual, oral, IV– Indications: Angina– Timing: Presentation– CI: Hypotension
• Beta-Blockers– Indications: Active ischemic symptoms and
prophylaxis– Timing: On admission in CCU or ED– CI: CHF, bradycardia, asthma

• Antiplatlets agents:(Clopidogrel, ASA)– Indication: antiplatlet unless CI– Timing: On decision to go to the cath lab– CI: Upcoming CABG Sx, coagulopathy
• ACE inhibitors: – Indication: CHF,ant wall infarct, EF < 40%,
pulmonary congestion, increase BP– Timing: On admission– CI: hyperkalemia, RF, hypotension

• Statins:– Indications: CAD– Timing: On admission– CI: Myopathy, sensitivity
• Supplemental oxygen:– Indications: First 6 hrs, especially patients
with oxygen desaturation (< 90% by pulse ox)
