Cardiac Valves AtrioventricularValves Tricuspid and mitral Semilunar Valves Pulmonic and aortic

A&P Review • Coronary Blood Supply • Coronary Arteries • Left coronary artery divides into left anterior descending and left circumflex • Right coronary artery perfuses the right side of the heart and in most people the SA and AV nodes • In 70% of the population the RCA perfuses the posterior coronary artery
Coronary Arteries Right coronary artery
A&P Review • Venous Return from the Heart • Coronary sinus • Thebesian vessels drain directly into the chambers of the heart and produce physiologic shunt

Objectives: • Definition of CAD • Identifying risk factors (a) effects (b) treatments (c) management • Latest developments
CAD Statistics • Affects nearly 13 million people in the USA • Causes 500,000 deaths each year
Definition of Coronary Artery Disease • A narrowing of the inside diameter of arteries that supply the heart with blood. • The condition arises from the accumulation of plaque and greatly increases the risk of having a heart attack or myocardial infarction (Cooley, 1996).
Modifiable Risk factors • Pathophysiologic factors: Hypertension Diabetes Hyperlipidemia • Life style factors Smoking Obesity Physical Inactivity Stress
Nonmodifiable risk factors • AGE • GENDER • RACE/ETHNIC BACKGROUND • HEREDITY
Emerging Risk Factors • Homocysteine= blocks NO production < elastic Blood vessels permit plaque formation TTT= B complex Folic acid, Niacin • LDL-C = mechanical injury • Prothrombotic state (e.g., high fibrinogen or plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 in the blood) • Proinflammatory state (e.g., elevated C-reactive protein in the blood causes inhibition of NO) • Low Adiponectin levels increase CRP production
Five Major Risk Factors • 1.Smoking • 2.Hypertension • 3.High cholesterol • 4.Diabetes • 5.Family History
Smoking Effects of Smoking • Roughening effect of inside diameter of the arterial wall>formation of plaque,constriction of arteries>HPN • Increases heart rate and produces irregular heartbeats>clots>stroke • Decrease HDL levels and increase LDL > increase risk CAD
Management of Smoking • Quit Smoking • Avoid secondary smoke
Hypertension: • Or high blood pressure.. SBP >120 mm Hg ..DBP>80 mm Hg • Indicates a problem in the mechanism that regulates blood pressure in the circulatory system • “hyper” too much “tension” pressure
Hypertension Effects of HPN • [Mechanical Injury] Causes thickening or hardening of the walls off the arteries>causes narrowing >decrease blood flow to coronary arteries>MI. • Thickening of left ventricle >decrease Cardiac output > causes CHF > kidney damage>Renal dialysis • In the diabetic population, HPN>retinal damage(retinopathy)>BLINDNESS
New Features and Key Messages • For persons over age 50, SBP is a more important than DBP as CVD risk factor. • Starting at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk doubles with each increment of 20/10 mmHg throughout the BP range. • Persons who are normotensive at age 55 have a 90% lifetime risk for developing HTN. • Those with SBP 120–139 mmHg or DBP 80–89 mmHg should be considered prehypertensive who require health-promoting lifestyle modifications to prevent CVD. (JNC 7, 2003)
New Features and Key Messages (Continued) • Thiazide-type diuretics should be initial drug therapy for most, either alone or combined with other drug classes. • Certain high-risk conditions are compelling indications for other drug classes. • Most patients will require two or more antihypertensive drugs to achieve goal BP. • If BP is >20/10 mmHg above goal, initiate therapy with two agents, one usually should be a thiazide-type diuretic. (JNC 7, 2003)
Benefits of Lowering BP Average Percent Reduction Stroke incidence 35–40% Myocardial infarction 20–25% Heart failure 50% (JNC 7, 2003)
BP Control Rates Trends in awareness, treatment, and control of high blood pressure in adults ages 18–74 Sources: Unpublished data for 1999–2000 computed by M. Wolz, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; JNC 6.
Treatment Overview Goals of therapy • Lifestyle modification • Pharmacologic treatment • Algorithm for treatment of hypertension • Classification and management of BP for adults • Follow-up and monitoring (JNC 7, 2003)
Management of hypertension • Exercise • Proper stress management • Quit Smoking • Healthy diet • Decrease sodium intake. • Anti- HPN Medication
Lifestyle Change: What Difference Does it Make ? • Weight loss. (decreases SBP*1.6 mm Hg for each kg lost) • Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension: DASH diet: • (decreases systolic BP 8-14 mmHg) • Reducing salt in the diet.(decreases SBP 2-8 mmHg) • 30-45 minutes daily aerobic exercise • (decreases systolic BP 4-9 mmHg) • Limit alcohol. (decreases SBP* 2-4 mm Hg) • Avoidance of tobacco products. (*SBP = systolic blood pressure)
Medications for HPN • Diuretics • Beta-Blockers • Calcium channel Blockers • ACEI • Vasodilators
Diabetes • Causes vasoconstriction of coronary arteries >decrease blood flow > decrease oxygen supply >increase risk of heart attack or MI
Management of Diabetes Healthy diet. Exercise Stress Management Medications Check Blood sugar regularly
CHOLESTEROL • Effects of Increased • Cholesterol levels • Causes plaguing of the • coronary walls, • narrows coronary arteries, • creates blockage of coronary • arteries • less blood flow to heart cells • >MI
