Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
(2015)
http://www.cts.usc.edu/hpg-coronaryarterydisease.html
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to:
describe epidemiology of CAD and MI
describe the pathophysiology/aetiology of CAD
and MI
incorporate assessment of cardiac risk factors
into the assessment of a patient with CAD
describe the clinical manifestations and diagnosis
of CAD and MI with related nursing implications
for common tests and procedures
describe the nursing,medical and pharmacological
management of the patient with CAD and MI
describe complications of CAD
Coronary Artery Disease
What are some of your thoughts
when you hear the terms
“Coronary Artery Disease” or
"Heart Disease” ?
New Zealand Epidemiology
Cardiovascular disease is the leading
cause of death in NZ (40%) (CHD 23%)
Little change over past 30yrs
Burden disproportionately falls on
Maori and Pacific people
Maori and Pacific < 75yrs 2-3 times higher
Immigrants from Indian subcontinent

Coronary Artery Disease
Where are the coronary arteries ?
Obstructed blood flow through the coronary
arteries
Atherosclerosis
Plaque accumulation and rupture
Narrowing and occlusion of lumen
Decrease in blood flow and oxygen to heart
muscle
“Myocardial Oxygen demands exceed supply”
Coronary Arteries
http://my.clevelandclinic.org/services/heart/heart-blood-vessels/coronary-arteries
Atherosclerosis
(athero – fat, sclerotic – narrow)
Abnormal accumulation
of lipid substances and
fibrous tissue in the
vessel wall
Inflammatory response
biophysical and
biochemical changes in
wall
progressive.

CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD)
(Atherosclerosis)
Fatty streak
streaks of fat within
smooth muscle cells
Fibrous plaque
changes in endothelium
Complicated lesion
continued inflammation,
instability and rupture
(Lewis 738 /856)
What is fibrous Plaque?
Fibrous and smooth
muscle tissue
lipid or necrotic tissue
from inflammatory process
of atherosclerosis
Fibrous cap which
protrudes into the lumen
of the vessel
Rupture releases
thrombogenic lipids
causing platelet
accumulation and clot
Patho ofCoronary Artery Disease
Atherosclerosis in the intima
LDL accumulate in vessel and
form fatty streaks.
Smooth muscle cells
(from middle layer) engulf
fatty streaks, produce
fibrous tissue and stimulate
calcium deposition
Transformation of fatty
streaks result in fibrous
plaque and CAD lesion
Small blood vessels grow into
the lesion which enlarges
Obstruction and bleeding

Heart Attack !!! A Case Study
11am - Mr H. is admitted to hospital after collapsing at the
school where he teaches. He presents with pain in his jaw,
feeling very tired, is pale and diaphoretic but fully conscious
and awake. He did have a short period of unconsciousness
after his collapse. He is unable to recall exact event.
Has a history of hypertension, controlled on medication, on
statins prophylactically, does not smoke, and exercises
regularly. BP 85/50, P 90, Resp 22, O2 sats 95%
12 lead ECG shows raised ST segments and an inferior STEMI.
Thombolysis started in CCU which failed and patient
transferred to ACH for emergency “rescue” angiography.
2pm Patient Back in CCU (ACH) – RCA stented – showed
complete occlusion
Myocardium reperfused – no permanent damage.

RISK FACTORS for CAD
Age
Gender
Family history
Ethnicity and race
Obesity
Diabetes
Hypertension
Smoking
Sedentary lifestyle
Diet
Stress
Smeltzer and Bare (2014) Management of Patients with Coronary Vascular Disorders
Body Mass Index
Obesity
Culturally Specific
Normal =18-24
Over weight =29
Obese =30
Morbid obesity > 40
Associated with hypertension, increased lipids,
atherosclerosis and diabetes
Increased workload of heart
Increase in Myocardial oxygen demands
http://www.health.govt.nz/nz-health-statistics/healthstatistics-and-data-sets/obesity-data-and-stats
Morbid obesity > 40
Diabetes and CAD
Connective tissue
damage
Endothelial cell
impairment
Atherosclerosis
High cholesterol
Platelet aggregation
Altered red blood
function
Hypertension and CAD
Increased stiffness of vessel walls –
decreased elasticity
Vessel injury and inflammatory response in
intima
Increases rate of atherosclerosis
Increased workload of the heart
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Regulation of Blood Pressure
Hypertension
(Lewis 834)
Defined as a consistent/sustained
elevation of the systolic blood
pressure above 140 mm Hg or higher
or a diastolic blood pressure of 90mm
Hg and above
One in five NZ’ers over 15 have a
BP160/95 (NZGG 2009)
On two elevated readings (sitting and
supine) on separate Doctors visits
Hypertension
Two types
Primary : - reason for elevation unknown.
- 90-95% of all cases.
Secondary : - Specific cause
- 5-10% of adults
- 80% children
Hypertension
Sign - used to monitor clinical status
Risk - contributes to rate at which
atherosclerotic plaque accumulates
within arterial walls
Disease - major contributor to death from
cardiac, renal and PVD
Usual consequences of prolonged uncontrolled
hypertension are MI, heart failure, renal failure,
stroke and impaired vision
Goal with Hypertension
Two primary regulatory factors:
* Blood low(volume
* Peripheral Vascular Resistance (PVR)
Goal is to optimise these 2 in order to get
pressure below 140/90mmHg and reduce
cardiovascular risk.
Primary groups of drugs are used:
* Diuretics
* Adrenergic inhibitors (beta blockers) ****
* Vasodilators
* ACE inhibitors/ Angiotensin 11 receptor
antagonists (ARB’s
* Calcium Channel blockers (antagonists)
Complications with Hypertension
CAD
PVD
CVD
Retinal damage
Renal disease
Tobacco
Vasoconstriction
Increases carbon
monoxide levels
Increases platelet
adhesion
Interferes with
HDL (good
cholesterol)
Face the facts
http://www.facethefacts.org.nz/quit-smoking
Face the facts …………
5000 NZ’rs die annually
2nd hand smoke kills 350/year
Single leading cause of
preventable death
One in two smokers will die from
smoking related death
Quitting saves lives and money
Kids - 3 times more likely to
become smokers if parents
smoke
ALL CIGARETTES ARE DEADLY
Smoking. Face the facts !!

Cholesterol

Cholesterol – good or bad ?
http://www.heart-health-for-life.com/image-files/choleshtline.jpg
Normal Lipid Profile
Total Cholesterol <5 mmol/l
HDL >1.0 mmol/l
LDL <3.4 mmol/l
Triglyceride <2.0 mmol/l
Total HDL Ratio TC:HDL < 4.5mmol/l
Stress and CAD
SNS stimulation
Increased release of
adrenaline & noradrenaline
Increases HR, BP and
contraction
Results in increase in O2
demands and workload
Increased lipid levels
Alters coagulation
atherosclerosis
