Angina represents reversible or irreversible injury?
reversible
Describe how O2 is delivered to the layers of the heart via coronary aa. What is most susceptible?
Coronary arteries start at epicardium, dive down to myocardium and endocardium. Area just into endocardium is most susceptible to ischemia (subendocardial ischemia)
Transmural ischemia vs subendochardial ischemia
ECG findings
pathogenesis
transmural: ST elevation
Acute occlusive thrombosis, full thickness, over cracked JUICY PLAQUE
subendocardial: ST depression
1C artery, aborted MI (by reperfusion). or >1C artery in shock
Stable Angina

definition
usual causes (4)
necrosis of cardiac myocytes
rupture and thrombosis of atherosclerotic plaque
vasospasm (prinzmetal, cocaine)
emboli
vasculitis (esp. Kawasaki's)
--> and COMPLETE** occlusion of coronary artery.
Myocardial Infarction: clinical features
how does nitroglycerin affect S/S?
severe, crushing chest pain > 20 MINUTES, radiates to left arm or jaw, diaphoresis, dyspnea.
NOT relieved by nitroglycerin
Initially shows ST depression (subendocardial), then ST elevation (transmural)
Infarction in MI usually involves which chambers?
LV
(both atria and RV spared)
Most commonly involved artery in MI? Other aa commonly involved?
what pathology is found early on?
LAD- Ant wall of LV, Ant. portion of IV septum.
subendocardial necrosis involving <50% of myocardial thickness (ST depression)
Other aa: RCA (Post. LV wall and post septum and papillary mm of LV), LCX (lateral wall of LV)
Occlusion of LAD leads to
infarction of ANTERIOR WALL & anterior portion of LV SEPTUM
Occlusion of RCA leads to
infarction of POSTERIOR WALL & posterior SEPTUM, Papillary muscles of LV
Occlusion of LCX leads to
infarction of LATERAL WALL of LV
Irreversible damage indicated by which cardiac enzymes? (3)
when are they apparent?
Troponin I & II ( GOLD STANDARD)
-Rise 2-4 hrs after, peak at 24-48 h, normal by 7-10d
CK-MB (detecting reinfarction)
-rise 4-6 h after, peak at 24, normal by 72 h
myoglobin: earliest to rise after MI; most useful for ruling out MI
Tx of MI (5)
-Aspirin/heparin: limit thrombosis
-Supplemental O2: minimize ischemia
-Nitrates: vasodilate coronary arteries and veins
-Beta-blockers: slow HR, reduce risk of arrhythmia
-ACE inhibitors: blocks AT2- decrease PVR, blocks aldo-> blocks Na reuptake. decrease risk of LV dilatation
-Fibrinolysis or angioplasty (return O2 to ischemic sites)
Complications that can result from fibrinolysis or angioplasty after MI (2)
opens blocked vessel:
-HYPERCONTRACTION of myofibrils as Ca enters with blood (image) -> contraction bands- pink bands in myocytes with no nuclei
-Reperfusion injury: Return of O2 and inflammatory cells can lead to free radical generation --> cardiac enzymes continue to rise
Morphological changes & complications (3) in MI <4 hours:
tissue damage is marked by hypoxia
No gross or microscopic changes
cardiogenic shock, CHF (decreased EF), and arrythmia (no ATP, no Na/K ATP-ase; damage to conducting system within first 24hrs)
Morphological changes & complication (1) in MI
4-24 hours:
COAGULATIVE NECROSIS (loss of nuclei - karyorhexis, karyolysis, piknosis)
Dark discoloration
Arrhythmia (damage to conducting system within first 24hrs)

2) clinical features due to DECREASED FORWARD PERFUSION & PULMONARY CONGESTION
-Decreased flow to kidneys leads to + RAAS -> fluid retention exacerbates CHF (tx is ACEi)
-Pulmonary edema
*dyspnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (increase venous return when lying flat), ORTHOPNEA, crackles (fluid in interstitial lung space).
Hemosiderin laden macrophages (aka. heart failure cells) - capillaries leak blood cells into alveoli and macrophages consume them

5) benign or malignant?
1) right atrium
2) 20-50; male
3) usu CHF, thromboembolism
4) non-specific symptoms, palpitations, dyspnea, chest pain
5) malignant (metastases are common to pleura, mediastinum, lungs, liver, bone, adrenals, CNS, lymph nodes)
tumor arising post-transplant
1) a/w
2) causative agent?
3) tx?
post-transplant primary lymphoma of the heart
1) anti-rejection drugs
2) EBV infection
3) reduce anti-rejection drugs; anti-lymphoma tx for refractive cases (CHOP-R)
metastatic cancer in the heart
1) more or less common than primary tumors?
2) common origins (6)
3) most common layer of heart involved
4) complication
1) more common than primary tumors
2) leukemias, melanoma, thyroid cancer, lung carcinoma, lymphoma, and breast cancer
3) m/c in pericardium
4) pericardial effusion
causes of pericarditis
outpatient (2)
inpatient (7)
ECG findings in acute pericarditis
outpatient: usu idiopathic; Coxsackie A/B
inpatient: TUMORS
Trauma
Uremia
MI, meds (hydralazine, procainamide)
Other (bacterial, fungal, TB, SLE, RA, HIV)
Radiation
Surgery
concave ST elevation, PR depression
(MI has convex ST elevation only)
constrictive pericarditis
1) pathophysiology
2) RA pressure and JVP findings
3) heart sound
4) CM (4)
5) ECG
1) inflammation -> thickening and dec compliance -> ventricular interdependence (limitation in RV filling and compression of LV) -> dec CO and right-sided congestion
2) Kussmaul's sign - increased RA pressure on inspiration
augmented Y descent
3) pericardial knock (sudden stopping of filling by non-compliant pericardium)
4) pulsus paradoxus
peripheral edema
pulsatile hepatomegaly
ascites
5) sinus tachy, Afib, ST flattening, T inversion, low QRS, right axis deviation (RVH)
cardiac tamponade
1) pathophysiology
2) clinical features (3)
3) JVP pattern
1) fluid accumulation in pericardial space -> inc intracardiac pressure -> limited filling -> dec CO
2) dec systemic arterial pressure
inc systemic venous pressure (JVD)
small, quiet heart
3) blunted Y descent
