Dr JayachandranThejus MANAGEMENT OF Stable angina- The basics
Coronary artery disease- • Block in coronary artery due to plaque or thrombus • Leads to myocardial ischemia manifested as chest discomfort • Two types- • Plaque- stable angina • Thrombus- acute coronary syndrome
Stable angina- • Obstructive plaque • Blood flow enough at rest • Blood flow is inadequate when heart muscle needs extra blood as during exercise or emotional stress • Angina on exertion or emotion
Stable angina means exertional chest discomfort due to a fixed stenosis in a coronary artery.
How to diagnose whether a person with chest discomfort has coronary artery disease or not? • Assess the probability • Typical nature of pain • Age • Male sex • Risk factors • Low probability- no tests • Intermediate probability- TMT or alternate tests • High probability- coronary angiography
Intermediate probability- which test to choose? • Treadmill exercise test or TMT
TMT is not possible • Pt cannot exercise • LBBB, WPW, pacemaker, resting ST depression, digitalis • SPECT • CT angiography
SPECT • Radioactive technitium is injected IV at stress and at rest • Radioactivity from various areas of the heart is measured. • Perfusion defect during stress indicates ischemic myocardium. • Can be done with adenosine IV in patients who cannot exercise
CT coronary angiography • Negative predictive value is high. • Positive predictive value is low. • Useful to rule out CAD in low risk patients. • If positive, does not mean that stenosis is present. ICA is needed.
Invasive coronary angiography- • Intermediate probability- Stress test positive • High probability • Typical angina • RWMA by echo • Low EF by echo
Patient presents with chest pain. • You evaluate the patient and find the probability of having CAD. • Low probability- follow-up. • Intermediate probability- TMT. If positive- angiography. • High probability- angiography
Angiography- • No plaques- no treatment • Non-obstructive coronary plaques- medical management • Obstructive coronary plaques- • Small vessel- Medical management • Large vessel- PCI or CABG
Coronary stenosis- • Single vessel- PCI • Multivessel- SYNTAX score • <22- PCI • 22 to 32- PCI or CABG • >/= 33-CABG • Left main- • Ostial or mid- PCI • Distal- CABG
Lifestyle modification • Smoking cessation • Most effective lifestyle change • Nicotine gum and bupropion can be given • Diet • Decrease saturated fatty acids • Increase PUFA- fish • Increase fruit and vegetable intake • Decrease total energy intake to keep BMI < 25
Regular physical activity • Aerobic activity like walking is preferred • Intensity depends on cardiac status • Sexual activity • PDE5 inhibitor has interaction with nitrates • Weight reduction • Sleep apnoea evaluation
LDL • Reduce by > 50% • BP • Keep < 140/90 mm Hg
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Aspirin 75 to 150 mg/day. • If intolerant, clopidogrel. • Do not add aspirin to clopidogrel.
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Statin always needs to be added. • LDL has to be reduced by more than 50% of basline value.
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • ACEI to improve prognosis in • HT • DM • CKD • EF 40% or less
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs Sublingual nitrate SOS • 5 mg ISDN • 0.5 mg NTG
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Beta-blocker • Any cardioselective beta-blocker • Do not combine with non-DHP Ca CB • Include to improve prognosis in post MI and HF.
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • CaCB • Non-DHP • Verapamil • Diltiazem • DHP • Long acting nifedipine • Amlodipine
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Long acting nitrate • If frequent angina • 10 mg ISDN TDS or 30 – 60 mg ISMN bid or controlled release NTG 2.6 or 6.4 mg bid • Try to avoid CaCB or alpha blocker
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Ranolazine • 500 to 1000 mg bid • Most trial data among alternative drugs • No effect on BP or heart rate
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Ivabradine • 5 to 7.5 mg bid • If rate is uncontrolled even after b B optimum dose
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Nicorandil • 5 to 10 mg bid
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • Trimetazidine • 35 mg bid
Pharmacological treatment- • To improve long term prognosis • Aspirin • Statin • To relieve angina • S/L nitrate SOS • If angina is frequent- b B or Ca CB or both • Is still no relief- long acting nitrate or other drugs • EECP • Spinal cord stimulation • Chelation
