Coronary Artery Disease
Definition:
CAD is a term that refers to the effect of the
accumulation of atherosclerosis plaque in the coronary
arteries that obstructs blood flow to the myocardium

Angina Pectoris
Definition:
Angina:
Choking or suffocation.
Pectoris:
Chest.
Angina pectoris, is the medical term
used to describe acute chest pain or
discomfort.
Angina occurs when the heart’s need
for oxygen increases beyond the
level of oxygen available from the
blood nourishing the heart.
It has 3 types
Stable Angina
Un stable angina &
Variant Angina (Prinzmetal’s

Types of Angina
Stable angina:
4/5/2016
People with stable angina have
episodes of chest discomfort
that are usually
predictable. That occur on
exertion or under mental or
emotional stress.
Normally the chest discomfort
is relieved with rest,
nitroglycerin (GTN) or both.
It has a stable pattern of
onset, duration and intensity
of symptoms. www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Cont.
Unstable angina:
4/5/2016
It is triggered by an un
predictable degree of
exertion or emotion.
(progressive), more
severe than stable.
Characterized by
increasing frequency &
severity. Provoked by less
than usual effort,
occurring at rest &
interferes with pt
lifestyle.
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Cont.
Variant Angina
(Prinzmetal’s or resting
angina) :
occur spontaneously with no
relationship to activity.
Occurs at rest due to spasm.
Pt discomfort that occurs
rest usually of longer
duration. Appears to by
cyclic & often occurs at
about the same time each
day (usually at night).
Thought to be caused by
coronary artery spasm

www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Causes
4/5/2016
Coronary atherosclerosis (atheroma )
Factors increasing preload :
Hyperthyroidism
Exercise
Anemia
Factors increasing after load:
Hypertension
Aortic stenosis
Obstructive cardio myopathy
Coronary artery spasm
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Clinical Manifestations
Characteristics: Squeezing, burning, pressing,
choking, or bursting pressure.
Onset:
Quickly or slowly
Location:
Chest, right or left arms,
shoulder, or neck, jaw.
Duration:
Less then 5 minutes.
Associated: Dyspnea, Sweating, faintness,
palpitation, dizziness ect.
Relieving:
GTN and rest.
Aggravating: exertion, exercise, heavy meal,
emotional upset, and anger.

Investigations
Electrocardiogram ( ECG)
Coronary angiography
Exercise Electrocardiogram (Stress test).
Complications:
4/5/2016
Myocardial infarction
Cardiac Arrhythmias

Myocardium Infarction
4/5/2016
Myo means muscle, “Cardiac”
heart, infarction means “death
of tissues due to lack of blood
supply”.
It is also called heart attack.
It occurs when coronary
arteries become blocked and
the part of myocardial
muscles become dead due to
prolonged lack of oxygen
supply to the muscle cells.
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Coronary artery cannot supply enough blood to the
heart in response to the demand due to CAD
Within 10 seconds myocardial cells experience
ischemia
Ischemic cells cannot get enough oxygen or glucose
Ischemic myocardial cells may have decreased
electrical & muscular function
Cells convert to anaerobic metabolism.
Cells produce lactic acid as waste
Pain develops from lactic acid accumulation

ECG changes in Angina & MI

Zone of Ischemia: T wave inversion
Zone of Injury: ST elevation
Zone of Necrosis: Abnormal Q wave
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Sign and Symptom
Classic symptom of heart attack
are chest pain radiating to neck,
jaws, back of shoulder, or left arm
The pain can be felt like:
Squeezing or heavy pressure
A tight band on the chest
An elephant sitting on the chest

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO
REMEMBER
Increase supply of
Oxygen
4/5/2016
Decreasing the demand of
Oxygen:
• Stop activity and lie down
(CBR)
•Take Tab. Angisid sublingually
and wait till it dissolves.
If pain continues take up to 03
Tab. Angisid one every five
minutes. If pain is not relieved
yet take another tab. and rush to
EMERGENCY services.

IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT OF MI:
GOALS:
To prolong life.
Minimize infarct size.
Reverse ischemia.
Reduce cardiac work.
Prevent and treat complications.
A) INITIAL TREATMENT:
Rapid triage.
OMI (oxygen, monitor and I/V line).
Check vital signs and O2 saturation.
ECG within 10 minutes and repeat ECG.
Blood samples for enymes, CBC, lytes, and lipid
profile.

Beta blockers
Calcium Channel Blocker
Anti platelets / Anti coagulant
Thrombolytic therapy

Nursing Diagnosis
4/5/2016
Acute pain R/T imbalance between myocardial
oxygen supply and demand
Ineffective tissue perfusion R/T interruption of
arterial blood flow
Ineffective coping R/T effects of acute illness and
major changes in life style
Impaired gas exchange related to ineffective
breathing pattern and decreased systemic tissue
perfusion.
Anxiety related to present status and unknown
future, possible lifestyle changes, pain, and
perceived threat of death.
Activity intolerance related to fatigue
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
Prevention
4/5/2016
Recognize the symptoms
Reduce your risk factors:
Lose weight
Quit Smoking
Keep your cholesterol at a normal level.
Keep your blood pressure under control.
Use techniques to ease stress.
Control blood sugar level.
Eat Right
REGULER EXERCISE
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
COMPLICATIONS OF MI:
Arrhythmias
4/5/2016
Atrial arrhythmias.
Ventricular arrhythmias.
Bradycardia and heart block.
Asystol.
Hypertension.
LV failure.
Cardiogenic shock.
www.health-nursesdoctors.blogspot.com
CARDIAC REHABILITATION:
Cardiac rehabilitation provides a venue for
continued education, re-enforcement of lifestyle
modification, and adherence to a comprehensive
prescription of therapies for recovery from MI,
which includes exercise training
Goals of Rehabilitation program:
Develop
a program for progressive physical
activity
Lives as full, vital and productive life
Remain within the limits of the heart’s ability to
respond to increases in activity and stress.
