Ischaemic Heart DiseaseIschaemic Heart Disease
Etiology – Obstruction to blood flow.– Most common - Atherosclerosis– increased demand / Obstruction– Ischemia / Infarction.
Angina – Cardiac chest pain.– Stable / Unstable / Variant
Risk factors – (atherosclerosis) – Non Modifiable: Male Sex, Age, Genetic factors. – Modifiable: Hypertension, Diabetes, Smoking, Life
style, Diet (High LDL, Low HDL).

IHD Clinical Features:IHD Clinical Features: Angina Pectoris: (no infarction)
– Stable angina, common, Exercise or excitement. stable atherosclerotic narrowing of CA.
– Unstable/crescendo/Preinfarction angina Increasing pain/attacks, less effort/exercise, advanced atheroma prone to complications.
– Prinzmetal variant angina occurs at rest. spasm of coronary arteries (may not be a atheroma).
Acute Myocardial Infarction: Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD): Chronic IHD (Heart failure):
![Page 10: Pathology of Myocardial Infarction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492dfeab47959d1218b45f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pathogenesis:Pathogenesis: Obstruction to blood flow.
– Arteriosclerosis, Atheroma, Thrombosis, Embolism, Rupture/hemorrhage.
Diminished coronary perfusion. Ischemic cell injury Chemical mediaters
Chest Pain (Angina) Infarction – Necrosis (MI)
– Inflammation– Granulation tissue– Healing by Fibrous scarring.
Complications: – Acute: Cardiac death, conduction defects, Rupture– Late: CCF, Aneurysm, Infection.

Location of IHD / MILocation of IHD / MILAD: 40% to 50%

CASE STUDY: 40y diabetic woman - chest pain. P/H Hypertension, 30 pack-year
smoking history. She is on antihypertensives and Statins Had several years ago uncomplicated, myocardial infarct. She had had angina for many years, averaging one bout of angina a
month. Her usual angina lasted 10-15 minutes and was relieved by nitroglycerine. Angioplasty several years ago relieved her symptoms for six months, but eventually exercise-induced angina returned. There were no clinical changes until two weeks prior to her emergency room admission, when she began having daily anginal attacks that lasted 30 minutes or more. In the hour prior to her admission, she had awakened with severe chest pain, nausea, and dyspnea. There had been severe unrelenting pain for 45 minutes, and it had not been relieved by nitroglycerine. Vital signs: HR 105, BP 100/50 (her usual BP was about 155/95), temp. 100 F. She was obese and diaphoretic �(sweating profusely) with pale skin and labored respirations. Rales were heard over both lung fields. An EKG and serial cardiac markers were ordered.
QUESTIONS: ? Differential Diagnosis, ? Further investigations, ? Prognosis, ?
Pathology of Coronary Art. & Myocardium ? Type of Infarct, ? Complications (short term & long term) ? Advice.

CaseCase
A 42-year-old man presents to your surgery with central chest and left shoulder pain which came on during
his weekly game of squash, lasted for about 20 minutes and was relieved by rest. He is otherwise well but
smokes 25 cigarettes a day.On examination his BP is 140/85 and
pulse rate is 65 and regular. Heart sounds are normal and lung fields are clear on auscultation.
![Page 64: Pathology of Myocardial Infarction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492dfeab47959d1218b45f5/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
CaseCase
You perform an ECG in your rooms which is normal apart from some LVH.
You refer the patient to the pathology lab for CK-MB and troponin I tests and send the patient home to rest
and await the results. The blood is taken three hours after the onset of pain.
Results: CK-MB = 9 (R.Range <5μg/L)Troponin I = <0.1 (R.Range <0.1μg/L)
![Page 65: Pathology of Myocardial Infarction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492dfeab47959d1218b45f5/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Questions:Questions:
Is troponin useful when measured 3 hours after onset of chest pain?
What is the diagnostic utility of measuring CK-MB and troponin I levels at the same time?
What further testing would confirm or rule out an evolving myocardial infarct?
Is the measurement of troponin T likely to provide better diagnostic information?

Case 2:Case 2:
A 58-year-old woman visits your surgery at 7pm with a history of three episodes of chest pain during the day. The first occurred at 8am after her morning swim, and lasted about an hour. The second occurred soon after lunch lasting 30 minutes, and the third episode came on during a walk after dinner and is continuing, although not as severe as initially.
She has no history of chest pain and is otherwise well.

Case 2:Case 2:
Physical examination is unremarkable and the ECG shows ST depression of 1-2mm in the anterior leads.
You call an ambulance and send her to the emergency department.
In the emergency department the ECG is repeated and is unchanged.
Blood is sent to the lab for troponin I level which is reported as 0.6μg/L(Reference Interval = <0.1μg/L)
![Page 68: Pathology of Myocardial Infarction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492dfeab47959d1218b45f5/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Questions:Questions:
Is this a significant rise in troponin I or a borderline insignificant result?
Does the troponin I level confirm MI?How should this patient be
investigated?

Case 3:Case 3:
A 35-year-old man presents to your surgery with a two-day history of malaise, fever and intermittent chest pain. He is a non-smoker with no other significant medical history.
The chest pain is described as sharp and pleuritic and is worse on lying flat. He does not complain of dyspnoea, but has felt very tired and lethargic in the past few days and has not been able to exercise as usual.
On examination he is febrile at 37.5°C, BP=105/55, PR= 95/minute and regular. There is a soft early

Case 3:Case 3:
systolic murmur at the left sternal edge which you think is a flow murmur. No added sounds are heard and the lung fields are clear.
An ECG reveals widespread T-wave inversion with poor R-wave progression over the chest leads.
You arrange for the patient to be transported to the nearest emergency department where blood is drawn for troponin and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
Results Troponin I = 0.9 (Reference Interval = <0.1μg/L)
CRP = 28 (Reference Interval = 0-3mg/L)

Questions:Questions:
How do you interpret these results in the context of the clinical presentation and ECG?
What further investigations need to be done?
What is the usual indication for CRP measurement?
What other information may CRP provide that is particularly relevant to patients with coronary artery disease?
