Diagnosis and Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease
Diagnosis BP monitoring Symptoms ECG Angiogram Stress Test Nuclear myocardial
perfusion tests

Coronary Angiogram
![Page 11: Cardiovascular System – Heart and Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816264550346895dd2c897/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lexiscan (regadenoson)
For myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) A2A adenosine receptor agonist Vasodilates coronary arteries as if
exercising Injected into blood stream prior to gamma
camera scan Can give a good indication of myocardial
perfusion

Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease
• Treatment– Coronary bypass surgery– Angioplasty– Stents– Cholesterol lowering
agents– Anticoagulents– Antianginal medications
![Page 13: Cardiovascular System – Heart and Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816264550346895dd2c897/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ranexa
For angina Thought to inhibit a sodium ion channel in
the cardiac muscle cells Contraction of those cells might normally
cause compression of cardiac blood vessels during diastole.
Can be taken with other anti-anginal meds Very effective

Congestive Heart Failure
Heart becomes weak
Blood backs up in veins and capillaries
Fluid excess in tissues
Symptoms include shortness of breath, edema, difficulty breathing (especially when lying down,) difficulty exercising
![Page 16: Cardiovascular System – Heart and Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816264550346895dd2c897/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Congestive Heart Failure
Causes: cardiomyopathy hypertension lung disease coronary artery disease previous MI valve disease

Blood Vessels and Pressure Artery structure and function

Vessel Wall Structure
Tunica intima – epithelium and connective tissue
Tunica media – smooth muscle
Tunica externa– connective tissue and epithelium

Arterial blood pressure and flow
Systolic and diastolic pressure
Regulatory factors Cardiac Sympathetic nervous system from vasomotor center
of brain stimulates smooth muscle Chemical messengers – hormones, paracrines

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
![Page 29: Cardiovascular System – Heart and Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816264550346895dd2c897/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
Pulmonary arteries become narrowed causing decreased gas exchange and difficulty breathing
Causes R ventricular hypertrophy
Blood will back up in veins
![Page 30: Cardiovascular System – Heart and Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816264550346895dd2c897/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Common causes of PAH
• Genetic defect
• Autoimmune diseases, such as scleroderma
• Congestive heart failure
• History of blood clot in the lung
• HIV infection
• Lung or heart valve disease
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• In many cases the cause is unknown- Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

Symptoms of PAH
Chest pain, usually in the front of the chest
Dizziness
Fainting
Fatigue
Leg edema
Light-headedness during exercise
Shortness of breath during activity
Weakness
