Myocardial Oxygen Demand

Relationship between Myocardial Oxygen Demand and Muscle Mass: More muscle mass requires a higher oxygen demand.

Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)

Common Treatment for IHD with Low Hemoglobin: Blood transfusion is often used when hemoglobin levels fall below 9-10 g/dL.
Alternative Name for IHD: Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Characteristics of Cardiac Pain: Heavy, tight, or pressure-like sensation.
Symptomatic IHD: Characterized by chest discomfort due to angina pectoris.
Risk Factors for CAD: Multiple factors contribute to the development of CAD, including:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Family history
- Physical inactivity

Angina Pectoris

Duration: Angina pectoris typically lasts 2 to 30 minutes.

Resting ECG

Recommended State for Recording a Resting ECG: Patients suspected of having IHD should be recorded in the resting state for accurate interpretation.

Asymtpomatic Ischemia

Population with Frequent Asymptomatic Ischemia: Patients with diabetes are often observed to have silent ischemia due to neuropathy.

Vasospasm Triggers

Non-Triggering Factor: High blood pressure does not trigger vasospasm.

Saturated Fat Intake

Recommended Intake: According to ACC/AHA guidelines, limit saturated fat intake as part of a healthy diet.

Heart Perfusion

Diastolic Perfusion: The heart is the only organ that receives blood flow during diastole (relaxation phase).

This quiz covers key concepts related to ischemic heart disease (IHD), including its characteristics, treatments, and risk factors. You will also explore the relationship between myocardial oxygen demand and muscle mass, as well as angina pectoris and ECG recording protocols.
