  1. “Acute Coronary Syndrome” July 24, 2013

  2. Item 72 • A 78 year old man is evaluated in the ED with chest pain. The patient reports that the pain, which is present in the left substernal area, began at rest, and has been present for 12 hours. He reports no similar episodes of chest pain. Medical history is significant for hypertension and a 30-pack year history of ongoing tobacco use. His only medication is nifedipine. • On PE, temperature is 37.90C, BP 130/80 mm Hg, pulse rate is 72/minute and respiration rate is 12/min. BMI is 28. A normal carotid upstroke without carotid bruits is noted, jugular venous pulsations are normal and S1 and S2 are heard without murmurs. Lung fields are clear, distal pulses are normal and no peripheral edema is present.

  3. Item 72 (Con’t) • Serum creatinine kinase level is 500 units/L and troponin I level is 26 ng/mL. Lab findings are otherwise normal. • EKG shows sinus rhythm at 70/min; 2 mm ST-segment elevation in leads II, III and aVF; and 1 mm ST segment depression in leads V2 and V3. He is taken to the cardiac cath lab and found to have single vessel coronary disease with severe stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery.

  4. Item 72 (Con’t) • Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment? • Coronary artery bypass surgery • Intracoronary thrombolytic therapy • Medical therapy • Primary percutaneous coronary intervention

  5. STEMI Care and Time to Treatment Goals • Primary PCI is the recommended method of reperfusion when it can be performed in a timely fashion by experienced operators. I IIa IIb III 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline A JACC 2013;61:e1-63

  6. STEMI Care and Time to Treatment Goals • Reperfusion therapy should be administered to all eligible patients with STEMI with symptom onset within the prior 12 hours I IIa IIb III 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline A JACC 2013;61:e1-63

  7. STEMI Care and Time to Treatment Goals • Reperfusion therapy is reasonable for patients with STEMI within the prior 12 to 24 hours who have clinical and/or ECG evidence of ongoing ischemia. Primary PCI is the preferred strategy in this population I IIa IIb III 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline B JACC 2013;61:e1-63

  8. Item 38: MKSAP • A 54 year old man is evaluated in the ED for acute coronary syndrome that began 30 minutes ago. He has type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. He reports no history of bleeding or stroke. He has a remote history of peptic ulcer disease for which he takes no medications. Medications are lisinopril and glipizide. • On physical exam, he is afebrile, BP is 160/90 mm Hg, pulse rate is 80 and respiration 12/min. CV examination reveals a normal S1 and S2 without an S3 and no murmurs. Lung fields are clear.

  9. MKSAP: Item 38 • Serum troponin and creatinine kinase levels are pending. Hematocrit is 42% and platelet count is 220,000/L • EKG shows 3 mm ST segment elevation in leads V2 through V4 and a 1 mm ST segment depression in leads II, III and aVF. A chest radiograph is normal. • There is no cardiac cath lab present at the hospital and it would take approximately 1.5 hours to transfer the patient to the closest facility that performs PCI. -blockers, unfractionated heparin, clopidogrel and aspirin are initiated.

  10. MKSAP: Item 38 • Which of the following is the most appropriate management? • Abciximab and thrombolytic therapy • Await the results of troponin and CK • Thrombolytic therapy • Transfer for primary PCI

  11. STEMI Care and Time to Treatment Goals • If the symptom duration is within 3 hours and the expected door to balloon time minus the expected door to needle time is: • Within 1 hour, primary PCI is preferred • Greater than 1 hour, fibrinolytic therapy is generally preferred.

  14. STEMI Care and Time to Treatment Goals • Immediate transfer to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is recommended strategy for STEMI patients who initially arrive at or are transported to a non-PCI-capable hospital with a FMC-to-device time goal of 120 minutes or less.
