What is Angina? - correct answer✔✔Angina, or angina pectoris, is often described as chest
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
pain usually precipitated by stress or exertion and relieved rapidly with rest or nitrates. Those
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
with angina report varying symptoms including chest pain categorized as squeezing while
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
others describe the pain like a heavy weight being placed on the chest. Angina is relatively
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
common, and usually due to atherosclerotic heart disease. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What is the Patho of Angina? - correct answer✔✔Angina is chest pain that is associated with
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
decreased blood flow or ischemia to the myocardial tissue. The decreased blood flow may be |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
the result of atherosclerosis or coronary artery spasm. Neural pain receptors are stimulated by
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
accelerated cellular metabolism, chemical changes, and imbalances |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What are signs and symptoms of Angina? - correct answer✔✔- chest heaviness
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
- chest pressure
|||\\\ |||\\\
- squeezing or fullness Sometimes this pain radiates to the left shoulder and arm while others
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
report pain in the jaw. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
Generally, the attack length can range anywhere between three minutes to twenty minutes. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
Attacks reported at greater than thirty minutes are concerning and could indicate the
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
development of acute coronary syndrome. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What lab test are needed for angina? - correct answer✔✔- Troponin
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
- CK-MB: to evaluate for acute coronary symptoms as well as for anemia which might be
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
contributing to ischemic chest pain. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
- An ECG should also be obtained to rule out acute coronary syndrome.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

What are pharmacological remedies for Angina? - correct answer✔✔Nitroglycerin (Drug of
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
choice): |||\\\
Nitroglycerin relaxes and widens the blood vessel promoting easier blood flow to the heart |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
muscle. Dosing of nitroglycerin is 0.3-0.6 mg by translingual spray or sublingual tablet every
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
five minutes, as indicated with a max of 3 doses in 15 minutes.

What is a myocardial infarction? - correct answer✔✔(Heart Attack)
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
A myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when blood flow to the heart is minimized. The blockage is
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
most often caused by a buildup of cholesterol, which forms a plaque in the arteries that
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
circulate oxygenated blood flow to the myocardium. When the plaque breaks away it can form
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
a clot, interrupting or completely blocking blood flow and destroying a part of the heart
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
muscle. Unlike with an episode of angina, those experiencing a myocardial
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
infarction often report symptoms of pain at rest. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What is the patho of a Myocardial Infarction? - correct answer✔✔During a myocardial
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
infarction there is an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Prolonged |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
ischemia (>30 minutes) from the lack of circulating blood flow to the myocardium results in
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
cellular death, further impacting the heart's ability to function. Depending on the extent of the
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
cell death, the heart might have decreased contractility resulting in wall function abnormalities
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
further placing the patient at risk for decompensation. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What are the symptoms of a Myocardial Infraction? - correct answer✔✔- Sharp radiating pain
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
(Even at rest) |||\\\ |||\\\
- Light-headed or have increased feelings of anxiety or impending doom.

- CK-MB |||\\\
- An ECG will often demonstrate ST-segment elevation or new left bundle

branch block. |||\\\
How do you manage a Myocardial Infraction? - correct answer✔✔Patients presenting with
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
acute myocardial infarction will need reperfusion therapy or fibrinolytic therapy. To decrease
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
mortality rates, reperfusion through PCI needs to be completed within 90 minutes of|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
presentation to the emergency room. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What is Atherosclerosis? - correct answer✔✔a disease of the arteries characterized by the
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
What is the path of Atherosclerosis? - correct answer✔✔Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
process that begins with damage to the endothelium often the result of hypertension,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
smoking, high cholesterol or other risk factors. The endothelium develops a fatty streak which
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
further develops into a fibrous plaque and then complicated lesion.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
Physical assessment of Atherosclerosis? - correct answer✔✔Family medical history and
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
personal medical history should be reviewed for risk factors, including level of physical activity,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
tobacco, use, and dietary habits. A review of symptoms including recent and increasing fatigue,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
as well as fluid retention should be completed. A medication history should be obtained to

determine risk factors including high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
