    Study Notes

    Ischemic Heart Disease

    • Includes chronic stable angina, acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and Prinzmetal's angina.

    Chronic Stable Angina

    • Characterized by retrosternal pain due to myocardial ischemia.
    • Pain is triggered by exertion, emotional stress, or eating and relieved by rest or nitrates.
    • Symptoms last typically less than 10-15 minutes. If pain exceeds 15 minutes, ACS is suspected.
    • Radiates to the left shoulder and arm; described as a tightness.

    Diagnosis

    • Resting ECG often normal; may show ST segment depression and T-wave inversion during an attack.
    • Myocardial infarction indicated by ST elevation and deep Q waves.
    • Exercise ECG identifies ischemic changes during controlled physical activity.
    • Nuclear imaging and coronary angiography used for further evaluation.

    Management of Stable Angina

    • Non-drug therapy focuses on lifestyle modifications, akin to those for hypertension.

    Pharmacological Therapy

    • Immediate treatment for chest pain includes:

      • Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) for rapid relief.
      • Aspirin (300 mg loading dose) to prevent myocardial infarction progression.

    • Long-term treatment options include:

      • Beta-blockers: First-line for chronic stable angina.
      • Calcium channel blockers (CCBs): Second-line option.
      • Long-acting nitrates and pFOX inhibitors (e.g., trimetazidine).
      • Newer antianginal agents: ranolazine and nicorandil.
      • Statins for lipid management.
      • Antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel.

    Nitrates Classification

    • Short-acting nitrates:

      • Amyl nitrite: 0.3 ml inhalation; onset 1-2 min, duration 5-10 min.
      • Glyceryl trinitrate tablets/spray: 0.5 mg SL; onset 1-5 min, duration 10-20 min.
      • Isosorbide dinitrate: 5 mg SL; onset 3-5 min, duration 60 min.

    • Intermediate-acting nitrates:

      • Isosorbide dinitrate: 10 mg oral; onset 15 min, duration 3-6 hrs.

    • Long-acting nitrates:

      • Isosorbide mononitrate: 20 mg oral; onset 30 min, duration 6-8 hrs.
      • Transdermal patches: onset 30 min, duration 12-18 hrs.

    Pharmacokinetics of Nitrates

    • Nitrates are rapidly absorbed from all administration sites.
    • First-pass metabolism occurs extensively in the liver for orally administered nitrates.

    Ischemic Heart Disease

    • Includes chronic stable angina, acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and Prinzmetal's angina.

    Chronic Stable Angina

    • Characterized by retrosternal pain due to myocardial ischemia.
    • Pain is triggered by exertion, emotional stress, or eating and relieved by rest or nitrates.
    • Symptoms last typically less than 10-15 minutes. If pain exceeds 15 minutes, ACS is suspected.
    • Radiates to the left shoulder and arm; described as a tightness.

    Diagnosis

    • Resting ECG often normal; may show ST segment depression and T-wave inversion during an attack.
    • Myocardial infarction indicated by ST elevation and deep Q waves.
    • Exercise ECG identifies ischemic changes during controlled physical activity.
    • Nuclear imaging and coronary angiography used for further evaluation.

    Management of Stable Angina

    • Non-drug therapy focuses on lifestyle modifications, akin to those for hypertension.

    Pharmacological Therapy

    • Immediate treatment for chest pain includes:

      • Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) for rapid relief.
      • Aspirin (300 mg loading dose) to prevent myocardial infarction progression.

    • Long-term treatment options include:

      • Beta-blockers: First-line for chronic stable angina.
      • Calcium channel blockers (CCBs): Second-line option.
      • Long-acting nitrates and pFOX inhibitors (e.g., trimetazidine).
      • Newer antianginal agents: ranolazine and nicorandil.
      • Statins for lipid management.
      • Antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel.

    Nitrates Classification

    • Short-acting nitrates:

      • Amyl nitrite: 0.3 ml inhalation; onset 1-2 min, duration 5-10 min.
      • Glyceryl trinitrate tablets/spray: 0.5 mg SL; onset 1-5 min, duration 10-20 min.
      • Isosorbide dinitrate: 5 mg SL; onset 3-5 min, duration 60 min.

    • Intermediate-acting nitrates:

      • Isosorbide dinitrate: 10 mg oral; onset 15 min, duration 3-6 hrs.
