case presentation Done by :AHDAB KHAYAT
Myocardial infarction • Cellular death or necrosis of cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue secondary to severe or prolonged ischemia.
Epidemiology • 1.5 million Americans have an AMI each year • Mortality ranges from 10 to 15 % during the first year , decrease to 3.5 % per year
Pathophysiology • Atherosclerosis • thrombosis • Myocardial necrosis
Etiology • Coronary thrombosis due to ruptured plaque including platelet aggregation • Coronary artery spasm • Embolic infarction • Cocaine induced vasospasm
Clinical presentation Acute chest pain or discomfort Radiated to an upper extremity Associated with diaphoresis , nausea and vomiting
Chest pain • Gradual in onset • Provoked by an activity • Not change by position or respiration • Difficult to localize • Last longer than 30 min
Risk factor • Family history of CHD • age • sex • DM • hypertension • hyperlipidemia • cigarette smoking • cocaine use
Diagnosis • ECG • Cardiac enzyme monitoring -CK MB : 3-6hr, peak12-24hr normal 36-48hr -LDH : 24-48hr, peak 3-6d -Troponins : late marker
complication • CHF • Cardiogenic shock • Myocardial rupture • Dysrhythmia • Deep venous thrombosis • Pulmonary embolism
Goals of therapy • Limit extension of myocardial necrosis • Prevent reinfarction • Control complications -pain -hyper or hypotension -CHF -ventricular irritability
Nonpharmacologic therapy • Bed rest during first 24hr after acute eventdecrease myocardial O2 consumption prevent extension of infarction during healing • Start low saturated fat and cholesterol diet • Stop smoking
Treatment plan • O2 2-4 L/min Is administered unless the patient has sever chronic obstructive pulmonary disease • ASA antiplatelet effect 325 mg po then 162mg po or plavix 75 mg po (ASA allergy) or ASA 325 mg then 81-162 mg OD + plavix 300 mg then 75mg po OD
Nitrates to relieve ischemic pain Nitroglycerin infusion 10mcg/min syst>90 or SL 0.4 mg q5min up to 3 tab or spray 0.4 mg/aerosol q5min BID
Heparin as adjunctive therapy to prevent rethrombosis 60U/kg IV push then 15U/kg/hr IV infusion (monitor APTT ) • Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blocker in high risk patient Eptifibatide 180mcg/kg IVP then 2mcg/kg/min for 48-72hr
B blocker slow the heart -atenolol 5mg Iv then 50-100mg po -esmolol 500mcg/kg Iv over min then 50mcg/kg/min Iv infusion ..HR>60
ACEI prevent a build up of fluid by interfering with the enzyme 'angiotensin' which is involved in regulating body fluid lisinopril 2.5-5 mg increase to 10-20mg benzapril 10mg
Long acting nitrate - nitroglycerin patch -isosorbide dinitrate 10-60mg po TID Or isosorbid mononitrate 30-60 mg
Statin -atorvastatin 10mg q HS -simvastatin 40 mg q HS
Symptomatic -morphine 2-4mg Iv prn chest pain -acetamenophin 325-650mg q4-6hr prn headache -lorazepam 1-2 mg TIDprn anxiety -zolpidem 5-10 mg qhs prn insomnia -docusate 100mg BID -famotidine 20mg Iv BID
Cardiac catheterization • An early invasive approach in patient at intermediate to high risk and those in whom conservative management has failed
The patient’s case J.Z 50Y Dr. Nabil AL Ama
J . Z is a 50 years old male admitted at 30/9 under Dr Nabil Al Ama diagnosed with MI • He is married , non smoker • No family history of IHD
PMH : history… DM , HTN , unstable angina dyslipidemia 3 days back discharge..unstable angina plavix, ASA, capotin, atenolol, isordil neurobion, amlor, amaryl, lactulose zocor.
CASE ER 30/9/2006 CC : sever chest pain
Drug interaction • Hypoglycemic effect enhanced by ACEI • Hypoglycemic effect enhanced by NSAIDs • B blocker mask sign of hypoglycemia • ACEI,B blocker,Ca blocker and nitrate enhance hypotensive effect • Plavix enhance bleeding risk with ASA and heparin
recommendation • Close monitoring of BP and glucose level • Start diabetic diet • Replace oral hypoglycemic by insulin glucose level not controlled • Decrease dose of pantoprazole to 20mg/d ( prophylaxis of NSAIDs ) • Replace lactulose by bisacodyl 5-10mg at night or docusate 100mg BID….DM • WT reduction for cardiac catheterization
