Angina Pectoris Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) Defined (Etiologic Dx) : 2 Coronary heart disease (CHD) Defined (Etiologic Dx) Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition in which proper circulation of blood and oxygen are not provided to heart and surrounding tissue.
Result is due to a narrowing of small blood vessels, which normally supply heart with blood and oxygen.
Coronary heart disease, a type of cardiovascular disease, is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. IVMS©2010
Causes (Anatomic Dx) : 3 Causes (Anatomic Dx) The typical cause of coronary heart disease is atherosclerosis, which takes place with plaque and fatty build up on the artery walls, narrowing the vessels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis IVMS©2010
Slide 4 : 4 IVMS©2010
CAD Risk Factors : 5 CAD Risk Factors Certain conditions are considered to put an individual at greater risk for coronary heart disease. The following are some risk factors:
Age (particularly 40+)
Diabetes
Genetics (heredity)
High blood pressure
High bad cholesterol (LDL)
Increased levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, or homocysteine
Lack of sufficient physical activity
Low good cholesterol (HDL)
Menopause
Obesity
Smoking IVMS©2010
Symptoms : 6 Symptoms Some more frequent symptoms of coronary heart disease include:
Angina (ischemic pain)
Myocardial Infarction
Shortness of breath IVMS©2010
Diagnosis : 7 Diagnosis Diagnosis of coronary heart disease may be accomplished by a variety of means:
Coronary angiography
Coronary arteriography
Coronary CT angiography
Echocardiogram
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Electron-beam CT (EBCT)
Exercise stress test
Magnetic resonance angiography
Nuclear scan IVMS©2010
Treatment : 8 Treatment Coronary heart disease treatment methods may include: (depends on the presenting Physiologic Dx)
Angioplasty with stenting
Coronary artery bypass surgery
Medication
Minimally invasive heart surgery
Proper diet and exercise
Quitting smoking IVMS©2010
Coronary Artery O2 Supply and Demand : 9 Coronary Artery O2 Supply and Demand IVMS©2010
Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain) : 10 Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain) When the supply of oxygen and nutrients in the blood is insufficient to meet the demands of the heart, the heart muscle aches
The heart demands a large supply of oxygen to meet the demands placed on it The myocardial supply:demand ratio--a critical review. [Am J Cardiol. 1978] IVMS©2010
