    Study Notes

    Ischemic Heart Disease

    • Group of diseases due to insufficient arterial blood flow to myocardium.
    • Acute ischemia can result in myocardial infarction.
    • Chronic Ischemia can result in angina pectoris.

    Acute Ischemia

    • Sudden stoppage of arterial blood flow in coronary arteries or one of the major branches
    • Causes:
      • Complicated atheroma of coronary vessel
        • Thrombosis
        • Rupture of the plaque or hemorrhage into the plaque
      • Unusual causes
        • Embolism due to vegetations of bacterial endocarditis of aortic valve
        • Polyarteritis nodosa
        • Occlusion of coronary ostia in dissecting aneurysms and syphilis
        • Coronary spasm

    Chronic Ischemia

    • Caused by gradual incomplete occlusion and manifested as angina pectoris.
    • Types:
      • Stable angina: evoked by exercise and relieved by rest.
      • Unstable angina: severe pain precipitated by less and less effort (pre-infarction angina).
      • Prinzmetal (vasospastic) angina: occurs at rest, due to coronary spasm, relieved by vasodilator (nitroglycerine) therapy.

    Myocardial Infarction

    • Massive area of coagulative necrosis of myocardium due to complete cut of arterial blood supply.
    • Causes:
      • Sudden complete coronary occlusion
        • Thrombosis, embolism, spasm
      • It may be:
        • Transmural: involving the whole thickness of the heart wall in certain anatomical area supplied by certain coronary artery.
        • Circumferential subendocardial: involving subendocardium of left and less commonly right ventricles.

    Myocardial Infarction: Pathological Changes

    • The left ventricle is mainly affected.
    • In order of frequency:
      • Anterior descending of left coronary (40%)
        • The infarct is in anterior wall of left ventricle, anterior wall of right ventricle and anterior part of interventricular septum and apex.
      • Right coronary artery (40%):
        • Posterior wall of Left.ventricle, posterior wall of Right Ventricle and posterior part of interventricular septum.
      • Circumflex branch of left coronary: Lateral wall of Left ventricle.
      • Left coronary
    • Pathological changes
      • 6-8 hours: affected area is pale, opaque and dry, becomes more acidophilic, striations lost, nuclei disappear
      • Next day: color changes from gray to yellow.
      • 24-72 hours: infarct is soft yellow center and well circumscribed.
      • 3-10 days: fully formed infarct which is swollen yellow, soft and friable surrounded by zone of hyperemia, macrophages appear with polymorphs to remove the necrotic tissue and granulation tissue is seen at the periphery.
      • 4-6 weeks: removal of necrotic tissue and organization with scar formation, granulation tissue invades the infarct and starting formation of fibrous tissue which is usually completed by the end of 6 weeks.

    Myocardial Infarction: Effects

    • Most common cause of death in the first few hours following infarction.
    • Arrhythmia can lead to congestive heart failure and/or cardiogenic shock.
    • Ventricular rupture can happen 4-7 days after infarction (due to neutrophilic liquifactive enzymes).
    • Ventricular rupture can lead to:
      • Cardiac tamponade and compression of heart by hemorrhage into pericardial space.
      • Papillary muscle → mitral incompetence
      • Interventricular septum → acute heart failure
      • With thrombosis inside.
    • 25% of people develop infarct and die from it
    • 25% live either with myocardial infarct, or with silent occlusion (adequate collaterals)

    Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis

    • ECG and echocardiography.
    • Laboratory diagnosis :
      • CK-MB, TROPONIN, LDH
      • Peak levels
        • CK-MB, TROPONIN: 24 hours
        • LDH: 3-4 days

    Myocardial Infarction

    • A massive area of coagulative necrosis of myocardium caused by obstruction to the supplying coronary artery by a thrombus, embolism, or spasm
    • Left ventricle is most commonly affected by myocardial infarction
    • The order of frequency of coronary artery involvement in myocardial infarction is: Left Anterior Descending, Right Coronary Artery, Circumflex Branch of Left Coronary, and Left Coronary Artery
    • Myocardial infarction can be transmural (involving the whole thickness of the heart wall) or circumferential subendocardial (involving the subendocardium of left and right ventricles)

    Myocardial Infarction: Features within 3-10 days

    • Infarct will be swollen, yellow, soft and friable
    • Surrounded by a zone of hyperemia
    • Usually involves the whole thickness of the myocardium

    Myocardial Infarction: Features within 4-6 weeks

    • Macrophages appear with polymorphs to clean up necrotic tissue
    • Granulation tissue invades the infarct and fibrous tissue begins to form at the periphery
    • Complete healing takes different times, depending on the size of the infarct
    • Pericarditis and mural thrombus may be seen

    Ischemic Heart Disease

    • A group of diseases that stem from insufficient arterial blood flow to the myocardium
    • Can be categorized as acute ischemia or chronic ischemia

    Acute Ischemia

    • Results in myocardial infarction
    • Can be precipitated by physical effort, emotional excitement, heavy meals, and cold
    • Usually the result of sudden complete coronary occlusion

    Chronic Ischemia

    • Results in Angina Pectoris: characterized by temporary relative acute ischemia on top of chronic ischemia
    • May manifest clinically as attacks of severe retrosternal pain

    Stable Angina

    • Evoked by exercise and relieved by rest
    • Results from chronic coronary occlusion
    • Characterized as a gradual incomplete blockage

    Unstable Angina

    • A severe pain precipitated by less effort (pre-infarction angina)
    • Indicates a more significant or unstable (plaque rupture) coronary occlusion and higher risk of MI

    Prinzmetal (Vasospastic) Angina

    • Occurs at rest, due to coronary spasm
    • Relieved by vasodilator therapy (nitroglycerine)

    Causes for Angina Pectoris

    • Atheroma and anemia
    • Factors increasing load on the heart, like hypertension, valvular disorders (aortic), cardiomyopathy, and hyperthyroidism
    • Ventricular hypertrophy due to any cause
    • Coronary vasospasm

    Clinical Manifestations of Myocardial Infarction

    • Arrhythmia: Most common cause of death in the first few hours following infarction
    • Myocardial Pump Failure: Results in congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock
    • Myocardial Rupture: Most likely to happen 4-7 days after infarction
    • Cardiac Tamponade: Compression of the heart from hemorrhage into the pericardial space
    • Mitral Incompetence: Rupture of the papillary muscle
    • Acute Heart Failure: Rupture of the interventricular septum
    • Myocardial Infarction Effects: 25% of patients die from infarction. Another 25% develop an infarct but survive with a silent occlusion (adequate collaterals)

    Laboratory Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction

    • CK-MB: Elevated 6 hours after infarction, peaks at 12-16 hours, persists for 2 days
    • Troponin: Elevated within 6 hours after infarction, peaks at 12-16 hours, persists for 4-7 days
    • LDH: Elevated 2 days after infarction, peaks on the third day, and persists for 4-7 days.

    Electrocardiography (ECG) and Echocardiography

    • Used for diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction
