Ischemic Heart Disease
• In 1772, the British physician William Heberden reported a disorder in which
patients developed an uncomfortable sensation in the chest when walking and
disappear soon after the patient stood still but would recur with similar activities
• The clinical presentation of ischemic heart disease can be highly variable and
forms a spectrum of syndromes
Ischemic Syndromes
DETERMINANTS OF MYOCARDIAL OXYGEN SUPPLY AND DEMAND
• History
• it would be ideal to interview and examine a patient during an actual episode
of angina
• most patient are asymptomatic during routine clinic examinations
• a careful history probing several features of the discomfort should be elicited.
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Quality
• Angina is most often described as a pressure, discomfort, tightness, burning, or heaviness in the
chest
• sensation to “an elephant sitting on my chest”
• anginal discomfort is neither sharp nor stabbing, and it does not vary significantly with inspiration
or movement of the chest wall. It is a steady discomfort that lasts a few minutes, rarely more than
5 to 10 minutes
• differentiate it from sharper and briefer musculoskeletal pains
• the patient may place a clenched fist over his or her sternum, referred to as the Levine sign
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Location
• diffuse rather than localized to a single point
• retrosternal area or in the left precordium but may occur anywhere in the chest
back, arms, neck, lower face, or upper abdomen
• radiates to the shoulders and inner aspect of the arms, especially on the left
side.
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Accompanying Symptoms
• During the discomfort of an acute anginal attack, generalized sympathetic and
parasympathetic stimulation may result in tachycardia, diaphoresis, and nausea
• Ischemia also results in transient dysfunction of LV systolic contraction and diastolic
relaxation
• Transient fatigue and weakness are also common, particularly in elderly patients
• When such symptoms occur as a consequence of myocardial ischemia but are
unaccompanied by typical chest discomfort, they are referred to as “anginal equivalents”
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Precipitants
• angina is precipitated by conditions that increase myocardial oxygen demand
(e.g., increased heart rate, contractility, or wall stress)
• these include physical exertion, anger, and other emotional excitement
• large meal or cold weather
• generally relieved within minutes after the cessation of the activity that
precipitated it and even more quickly (within 3 to 5 minutes) by sublingual
nitroglycerin
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Frequency
• the frequency of episodes varies
• important to inquire about reductions in activities of daily living when taking
the history.
Differential Diagnosis
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
• Physical Examination
• increased heart rate and blood pressure are common because of the augmented sympathetic
response
• myocardial ischemia may lead to papillary muscle dysfunction and therefore mitral regurgitation
• ischemia-induced regional ventricular contractile abnormalities can sometimes be detected as
an abnormal bulging impulse on palpation of the left chest.
• ischemia decreases ventricular compliance, producing a stiffened ventricle and there ore an S4
gallop on physical examination during atrial contraction
• if patient is free of chest discomfort during the examination, there may be no abnormal
cardiac physical findings
• assess for signs of atherosclerotic disease (carotid bruits, femoral artery bruits or diminished
pulses in the lower extremities)
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHRONIC STABLE ANGINA
Diagnostic Studies
• Electrocardiogram
• the most useful tools is an electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained during an anginal episode
• ST-segment and T-wave changes can appear
• acute ischemia usually results in transient horizontal or downsloping ST-segment
depressions and T-wave fattening or inversions.
• ST-segment elevations suggesting severe transmural myocardial ischemia
• ECGs obtained during periods free of ischemia are completely normal in approximately
half of patients with stable angina.
• evidence of a previous MI (e.g., pathologic Q waves) also points to the presence of
underlying coronary disease.
Diagnostic Studies
Diagnostic Studies
Stress Testing
• normal ECGs between episodes of chest discomfort do not rule out underlying ischemic
heart disease.
• provocative exercise or pharmacologic stress tests are valuable diagnostic and prognostic
aids
• Standard Exercise Testing (treadmill, ergocycle)
• Nuclear Imaging Studies
• Exercise Echocardiography
• Pharmacologic Stress Tests
Diagnostic Studies
Coronary Angiography
• atherosclerotic lesions are visualized radiographically
following the injection of radiopaque contrast material into
the artery
• indication for patients with:
• anginal symptoms do not respond adequately to
pharmacologic therapy
• unstable presentation
• abnormal non invasive testing
Diagnostic Studies
Non-invasive Imaging of coronary arteries → Cardiac CT Angiography (CCTA)
• intravenous contrast
• can visualize stenosis greater than 50%
• sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 65% to 90%
• screening test to detect coronary artery calcification (CAC)
