Answer☑
chest pain that is new in onset, occurs at rest. The pain usually lasts 10 minutes or more


Quiz_________________?
myocardial infarction (MI) -

Answer☑


1

,occurs because of an abrupt stoppage of blood flow through a coronary artery with a thrombus caused
by platelet aggregation.


Quiz_________________?
STEMI -

Answer☑

occlusive thrombus, results in ST-elevation. The artery must be opened within 90 minutes of
presentation to restore blood and O2 to the heart muscle (by PCI or thrombolytic therapy)


Quiz_________________?
PCI -

Answer☑
Done in Cath lab. first-line treatment for MI. It confirms which artery has the occlusive thrombus so it
can be opened with a balloon and stent
- performed with local anesthesia
- patient is ambulatory shortly after the procedure
- hospital stay is about 3 to 4 days after MI


Quiz_________________?
Thrombolytic therapy -

Answer☑
done in hospitals that do not have a catheterization laboratory for PCI for a pt with STEMI.
- limit the infarction size by dissolving the thrombus in the coronary artery
- give the thrombolytic within 30 minutes of the patient's arrival to the ED
- All thrombolytics (e.g., tenecteplase, alteplase) are given IV


Quiz_________________?
Not candidates for PCI (CABG surgery used instead) -

Answer☑

diabetes, left ventricle dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, failed PCI with ongoing chest pain, blockages
are long or difficult to access


2

, Quiz_________________?
CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) -

Answer☑

placement of arterial or venous grafts to provide blood from the aorta to the heart muscle distal to
blocked coronary arteries.
Requires:
- sternotomy (opening of the chest cavity)
- cardiopulmonary bypass (blood is diverted from the patient's heart to a machine where it is
oxygenated and returned)


The Internal hammer artery (IMA) is the most common artery used for bypass graft.

Quiz_________________?
Signs that repercussion occurred -

proteins into the circulation after perfusion is restored to the area)


Quiz_________________?
NSTEMI -

Answer☑

nonocclusive thrombus, does not cause ST segment elevation. patients usually undergo catheterization
within 12 to 72 hours. Thrombolytic therapy is not indicated
