Ischemic heart disease. IHD Michael Kino MBBS, NEIGRIHMS
I s chemic heart disease Definition: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a condition in which there is in adequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium. It tipically occurs when there is an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. It’s the most common, serious, chronic, life-theatening disease in the developed countries. The most common cause is atherosclerotic disease of an epicardial coronary artery.
Pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia Myocardial ox y gen supply is decreased Narrowed coronary arteries (sclerosis, thrombus, spasmus, coronary embolism, vasculitis) Hypotension Severe anemia Methemoglobinemia, increased carboxyhemoglobin Myocardial ox y gen demand is increased Left ventricle hypertrophy Fever Hyperthyroidism Tachycard ia
Assessment of coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion: ECG(Electrocardiography) . Echocardiography. Stress testing . Cardiac catheterization .
Risk Factors Uncontrollable Sex Hereditary Race Age Controllable High blood pressure High blood cholesterol Smoking Physical activity Obesity Diabetes Stress and anger
Clinical picture of IHD is divided in to two groups: Chronic ischemic heart diseases: A: Stable angina . B: Silent myocardial ischemia . C: Variant or vasospastic angina. Acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ): Unstable angina NSTEMI. STEMI .
Silent myocardial ischemia ( no chest pain): In elderly patient. In diabetic patient. In female.
Variant or vasospastic angina: Vasospasm is present . Mostly at night . In the absent or present of stenosis. Clinical presentation: Chest pain . ECG: - ST segment elevation or depression .
Summary of the characteristics of angina pectoris Typical angina pectoris : Retrosternal chest pain (discomfort) Complaints occur after exertion or emotional stress The pain is relieved by rest and nitroglycerin Atypical angina pectoris : only two from three characteristics (especially in women and diabetics, angina may be atypical in location and not strictly related to provocing factors) Pseudoangina : Only one or no one out of three characteristics.
Beta blocker : β ₁ receptors( In the heart ). β₂ receptors (In bronchus and smooth muscles of vessels ). Beta blocker decreased sympathetic activity and reduced the oxygen consumption of the heart.
Calcium channel blocker (CCB) : - It is used for variant angina or prenzmintal angina . - Induce vasodilation in coronary and peripheral vessels . Nitroglycerine and nitrates( Isosorbide dinitrate and Isosorbide mononitrate ): Dilate the vessels . Decreased preload and afterload . Antiplatelet effect .
