Study Notes
Myocardial Oxygen Demand
- Myocardial oxygen demand increases with an increase in muscle mass.
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)
- IHD is also commonly known as coronary artery disease.
Hemoglobin Concentration in IHD Patients
- Transfusion is a common treatment for patients with IHD when hemoglobin concentration falls below 9-10 g/dL.
Angina Pectoris
- Angina pectoris typically lasts for 2 to 30 minutes.
Cardiac Pain
- Cardiac pain is often described as heavy, tight, and like pressure.
Symptomatic IHD
- Symptomatic IHD manifests as chest discomfort due to angina pectoris.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Risk Factors
- All of the following are risk factors for CAD:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Family history
Resting ECG
- The recommended state for recording a resting ECG in suspected IHD patients is in the resting state.
Asymptomatic Ischemia
- Patients with diabetes are frequently observed to have asymptomatic ischemia due to associated neuropathy.
Vasospasm Triggers
- Vasospasm is not triggered by high blood pressure.
Saturated Fat Intake
- According to ACC/AHA recommendations, the recommended total intake of saturated fats is less than 6% of calories.
Heart Perfusion
- The heart is the only organ perfused during diastole.
