Myocardial Ischemia • Spectrum of presentation • silent ischemia • exertion-induced angina • unstable angina • acute myocardial infarction
Acute Coronary Syndrome • The spectrum of clinical conditions ranging from: • unstable angina • NSTEMI (non-Q wave MI) • STEMI (Q-wave MI) • Characterized by the common pathophysiology of a disrupted atheroslerotic plaque
Unstable Angina - Definition Clinical Circumstance C—Develops Within 2 wk of AMI (Postinfarction UA) A—Develops in Presence of Extracardiac Condition That Intensifies Myocardial Ischemia (Secondary UA) B—Develops in Absence of Extracardiac Condition (Primary UA) I—New onset of severe angina or accelerated angina; no rest pain IA IB IC II—Angina at rest within past month but not within preceding 48 h (angina at rest, subacute) IIA IIB IIC IIIA IIIB IIIC III—Angina at rest within 48 h (angina at rest, acute)
INITIAL EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT Patients with suspected IHD must be evaluated rapidly The physician then must place the evaluation in the context of 2 critical questions: • Are the symptoms a manifestation of ACS? • If so, what is the prognosis?
om: Most of you are GP and frequently recive telephone calls from pts who are concerned that their symptoms may reflect haert disease. Most of these calls regarding chest disconfort do not rapresent an emergency, some yes. There are two critical questions: Are the symptoms a manifestation of ACS ?If so, what is the prognosis ?
om: Answering the question n 1 we have to remember that:… but ansering the Q n 2 we have to remember that…... 1)…..ischemic disconfor at rest rappresent an increased risk of death and non fatal AMI. 2)….the estimation of level of risk is useful for: 1 - selection of site of care ( CCU, monitored step-down unit, out-pt setting) 2-selection of therapy (gp2b/3a inhib.) The slite I showed you before “The presence or absence of the traditional risk factor ordinarily should not be used to determine whether an individual patient should be admitted or treated for ACS. However, the presence of these risk factors does apper to relate to poor outcomes in patients with established ACS.” ACC/AHA Practice Guidelines 2002

Antman et all developed a 7-point risk score. The risk of developing an adverse outcome ranged from 5% to 41% with the TIMI risk score defined as the sum of the individual prognostic variable. The end point cosidered were: death, (re)-AMI, or recurrent severe ischemia requiring revascularization The score was derived from the TIMI 11 trial. and has been validated in 3 additional trials: ESSENCE TACTICS-TIMI 18 PRISM-PLUS Among pts with UN/NSTEMI there is a progessively greater benefit from new therapy: LMWH, GP2b/3a, invasive strategy, with incrementing risk score. TIMI risk score 1- age > 65 yrs 2- > 3 coronary risk factors 3- more that 2 angina events within 24 hrs 4- prior angiographic obstruction 5- aspirin (in the 7 prior days) 6- ST-segment deviation 7- elevated cardiac markers Antman EM et al.

Tools for risk stratificationinitial management • Age and History • Symptoms • Standard ECG • Biochemical Markers • Continous ECG
Inverted T wave Q wave
Types of lesions: Inferior • Often RCA • Potential involvement of RV dx
Lateral Often LCX
Septal Certainly LAD
