All of medicine in 12 hours… Dr. Alan McLeod (F2)
The Plan Day One • A systematic approach • Chest Pain • Acute sob • Chronic sob • Haemoptysis • TATT • Painful Limb • Breast Pain • Emergency management Day Two • Maximising your marks • Swallowing • Change in bowel habits • Hepatomegaly • Abdo pain • Pregnancy / Birth • Recurrent Infections • Headache • Stroke • Pharmacology basics
2 Minutes 10 Causes of Chest Pain
Puzzled? You Need A SYSTEM…
Puzzled? What do I do?
2 Minutes 10 Causes of Chest Pain
Ischaemic Heart Disease • Approx 1/3rd of all male deaths • Approx ¼ of all female deaths • Atheroma of coronary vessels
Right: Right Ventricle, most of Right Atrium, Part of Left Atrium Left: Left Ventricle, part of Right atrium, most of Left atrium Left circumflex: Left margin of heart and its entire posterior wall, Left atrium, posterior IV septum LAD: Anterior 2/3 of IV septum, anterior portion of LV, whole apex
SA Node: Right 51-65%, Left 35-45%, Bilateral <10% AV Node: Right 80-90%, Left 10-20% ALL HIGHLY VARIABLE!!!
Arterial Disease Arteriosclerosis • Thickening and hardening of wall • Reduced lumen • Reduced flow • Reduced elasticity • Reduced contrractility • Diabetes • Hypertension Atherosclerosis • Commonest cause of arteriosclerosis • Specific disease • Tunica intima • Mostly large and medium vessels • Small in prolonged systemic hypertension
Atherosclerosis • Changes in intima thrombus formation • Reduced lumenal size • Poor perfusion/hypoxia • Tissue death • Loss of elasticity • Aneurysm formation Smaller vessel atherosclerosis • Ischaemic heart disease • Most strokes • Peripheral heart disease
Plaque Anatomy Plaque Anatomy (early) • Free Lipid • Foam cells • Increased myointimal cells • Collagen • Disruption of internal elastic lamina Plaque Anatomy (later) • Collagen cap • Extracellular lipid mass • Foam cells • Myointimal cells • Disrupted internal elastic lamina • Pressure atrophy of muscle collagenous replacement
Atheroma – Risk factors Non-preventable • Increasing age • Male sex • Family history Preventable • Hyperlipidaemia • LDL and Cholesterol • Hypertension • Diastolic most important • Diabetes • Smoking

Excitation-contraction coupling • Electrical signal • Stimulates contraction Generally • Signal causes depolarisation • CA++ entry results • Causing contraction • In The Heart • Calcium induced calcium release • Act Pot from SA Node

Sliding Filament Theory http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ309LfHQ3M&feature=related • Calcium enters • Binding sites on actin uncovered by movement of Tropomyosin / troponin complex • Myosin binds to site powerstroke • ATP binds to myosin release from binding • ATP ADP + Pi – cocks myosin for another Powerstroke • Continues as long as ATP and Ca present
Normal Lead 2 A Segment is Shorter than an interval
The Normal ECG PR interval: first deflection of P first deflection of QRS • 120-200 ms (3-5 small sq) QRS interval: first deflection of QRS end of last deflection • <100 ms (<3 small sq) QT interval (QTc is QT corrected for heart rate). Start of QRS end of T wave • 360-440 ms (<11 small sq)
Additional Abnormalities • Pathological Q wave • Duration > 1 small sq • ST Depression • 1mm or more over isoelectric line • ST Elevation • 0.5mm or more below isoelectric line • T wave abnormality • Normally upright in I, II & V1 – V3 • Normally inverted in aVr • Variable in others
STEMI and NSTEMI STEMI • ST Elevation MI • ST elevation on ECG • Positive enzyme tests NSTEMI • Non ST Elevation MI • No ST elevation • Positive enzyme tests
STEMI and NSTEMI A: Normal ECG B: ST Elevation C: ST Depression ST elevation in response to Isoelectric line (I) ST Segment A I P T QRS B C
Evolution of ECG Changes in STEMI • Minutes to hours • Peaked T waves • Hours • ST elevation • Hours to days • T wave inversion • Loss of R wave • Days • Pathological Q wave
Fibrinolysis • tPa • Streptokinase
