Ischemic heart disease (IHD), also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease (CAD), is caused by a reduction of blood flow to the heart due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. Risk factors include metabolic syndrome, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. Symptoms range from stable angina to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Diagnosis involves electrocardiogram (ECG), stress testing, coronary angiography and biochemical markers. Treatment depends on severity but may include lifestyle changes, medications like nitrates, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, statins, aspirin and revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (C
39. Complications of ACS Cardiogenic shock ,occurring in approximately 10% of hospitalized MI patients mortality 60%. Heart failure Valvular dysfunction, left ventricular free wall rupture. Ventricular and atrialtachyarrhythmias , bradycardia, heart block Pericarditis Stroke secondary to left ventricular thrombus embolization , Venous thromboembolism 6:13 AM 39

107. Case study A.E., a 65-year-old man, has been treated for chronic angina pectoris for 4 years. He refuses cardiac catheterization and revascularization; however, his coronary risk factors include a strong family history of cardiovascular disease and hyperlipoproteinemia. He experienced rheumatic fever at age 12; 5 years ago, his mitral valve was replaced. At that time, he had two-vessel CAD with 80% and 85% occlusion and an LV EF of 30% (normal, 55%). 7:34 AM 107
108. Current medications include a prescription for: SL nitroglycerin; warfarin 5 mg for 5 days/week and 2.5 mg for 2 days/week; metoprolol 50 mg every day; enalapril 10 mg every day; digoxin 0.125 mg/day (serum digoxin concentration drawn 18 hours after the last dose is 0.7 ng/mL); oral simvastatin 40 mg every day; and furosemide 40 mg/day. 7:35 AM 108
109. At his regular follow-up visit with his cardiologist, A.E. reports an increase in weekly anginal attacks over the last 2 months during his daily routine of working in his yard. Current vital signs include a blood pressure of 110/60 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 60 beats/minute. 7:36 AM 109
110. What therapeutic options would be available for A.E. for additional control of his chronic stable angina? A.E. is at goal heart rate and his blood pressure is well controlled on his current regimen, but he continues to have anginal symptoms. A –veinotrope CCB should not be given because A.E. has evidence of poorly controlled heart failure (EF of 30%). A long-acting nitrate is an option, but this could lower his blood pressure more than is desired. A dihydrpyridine (amlodipine &felodipine) may also lower blood pressure of A.E. Because of the lack of hemodynamic effects, ranolazine is a reasonable option for A.E., in addition to continuing metoprolol. 7:37 AM 110
