Study Notes

Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk

  • Hypertension increases the risk of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease by at least two-fold.
  • When hypertension is combined with diabetes mellitus, the risk increases more than eight-fold.
  • A hypertensive crisis occurs when systolic blood pressure exceeds 180 mm Hg and/or diastolic exceeds 120 mm Hg.
  • Essential hypertension accounts for 95% of all hypertension cases.

Underlying Causes of Hypertension

  • In children aged birth to 12 years, 70-85% of hypertension cases have an underlying cause, commonly renal parenchymal disease or coarctation of the aorta.
  • In middle-aged adults (40-64 years), 8-12% of hypertension cases have an underlying cause.

Intraoperative Blood Pressure Management

  • Maintain intraoperative blood pressure within 10-20% of the patient's normal blood pressure outside the clinical setting.

Types of Hypertension

  • Malignant hypertension is defined as severe hypertension greater than 210/120 mmHg.
  • Acute postoperative hypertension refers to a significant elevation in blood pressure during the immediate postoperative period, with SBP 180 mmHg or higher or DBP 110 mmHg or above.

Myocardial Infarction (MI) Risk Associated with Anesthesia

  • Overall risk of MI following general anesthesia is 0.3%.
  • Risk of MI is elevated based on the timeline of a previous MI:
    • 6% if MI was 3-6 months prior.
    • 19% if MI was 1-2 months prior.
    • 33% if MI was within 30 days before surgery.
  • Mortality rate from reinfarction is approximately 50%.

Recommendations Post-MI

  • It is advised to wait at least 60 days after an MI before undergoing elective surgery.

Stable Angina and Surgical Risk

  • Stable angina typically manifests with greater than 70% blockage in a coronary artery.
  • General contraindications for surgery include an MI within 1 month, persistent ischemic risk, uncompensated heart failure, and severe aortic stenosis.
  • Patients with stable angina and significant coronary disease may require revascularization prior to non-cardiac surgery.

Timing for Elective Procedures Post-Stent Placement

  • Elective noncardiac surgery is discouraged within:
    • 4 to 6 weeks post bare metal stent placement.
    • 12 months post drug-eluting stent placement if antiplatelet therapy must be paused.

Cardiac Function and Myocardial Ischemia

  • Cardiac muscle requires approximately 1.3 ml of oxygen per 100 g of muscle tissue per minute to survive.
  • Flat or down sloping ST segment depression greater than 0.1 mV on EKG is a reliable indicator of myocardial ischemia.
  • Cardiac troponins (troponin T or I) increase within 3 hours post-myocardial injury and remain elevated for 7-10 days.
  • Angina at rest typically lasts longer than 10 minutes unless interrupted by antianginal medication.

Complications Following Myocardial Infarction

  • Pericarditis develops in 10-15% of patients a few days after MI.
  • Ischemic injury can lead to mitral regurgitation due to injury to papillary muscles 3-7 days post-AMI.
  • Elective angioplasty without stenting: 2-4 weeks.
  • Elective bare-metal stent placement: at least 30 days, preferably 12 weeks.
  • Elective coronary artery bypass grafting: at least 6 weeks, 12 weeks preferable.
  • Elective drug-eluting stent placement: at least 6 months, ideally 12 months following acute coronary syndrome.

Ejection Fraction (EF) Values

  • Normal ejection fraction ranges from 50% to 70%.
  • Reduced ejection fraction is defined as below 40%.
