  1. Case Study: Heart Chief Complaint:68-year-old man who collapsed during exertion. • History :Roger Crockett, a 68-year-old man with a 40-pack-year smoking history and recent complaints of angina (sub-sternal chest pressure) upon exercising, collapsed while mowing his lawn. Paramedics arriving at the scene found him unconscious, not breathing, and without a pulse. CPR was successfully performed and Roger was transported to the hospital. An ECG was suggestive of an anterior wall myocardial infarction, and he was given an intravenous solution of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)(tPA works by dissolving major clots before tissue dies from lack of oxygen). Elevated blood creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle) levels measured over the next 2 days confirmed the diagnosis. Coronary angiography was performed a week later, revealing the following results:

  37. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Coronaryarterydisease (CAD) • Areas of partial or complete blockage of coronary circulation • Cardiac muscle cells need a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients • Reduction in blood flow to heart muscle produces a corresponding reduction in cardiac performance • Reduced circulatory supply, coronaryischemia, results from partial or complete blockage of coronary arteries

  38. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Usual cause is formation of a fatty deposit, or atheroscleroticplaque, in the wall of a coronary vessel • The plaque, or an associated thrombus (clot), then narrows the passageway and reduces blood flow • Spasms in smooth muscles of vessel wall can further decrease or stop blood flow • One of the first symptoms of CAD is commonly anginapectoris

  39. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Myocardialinfarction (MI), or heartattack • Part of the coronary circulation becomes blocked, and cardiac muscle cells die from lack of oxygen • The death of affected tissue creates a nonfunctional area known as an infarct • Heart attacks most commonly result from severe coronary artery disease (CAD)

  40. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Myocardialinfarction (MI), or heartattack • A crisis often develops as a result of thrombus formation at a plaque (the most common cause of an MI), a condition called coronarythrombosis • A vessel already narrowed by plaque formation may also become blocked by a sudden spasm in the smooth muscles of the vascular wall • Individuals having an MI experience intense pain, similar to that felt in angina, but persisting even at rest

  41. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Myocardialinfarction (MI), or heartattack • Pain does not always accompany a heart attack; therefore, the condition may go undiagnosed and may not be treated before a fatal MI occurs • A myocardial infarction can usually be diagnosed with an ECG and blood studies • Damaged myocardial cells release enzymes into the circulation, and these elevated enzymes can be measured in diagnostic blood tests • The enzymes include: • CardiactroponinT, • Cardiac troponin I, • A special form of creatinine phosphokinase, CK-MB

  42. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • About 25 percent of MI patients die before obtaining medical assistance • 65 percent of MI deaths among those under age 50 occur within an hour after the initial infarction

  43. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • Risk factor modification • Stop smoking • High blood pressure treatment • Dietary modification to lower cholesterol and promote weight loss • Stress reduction • Increased physical activity (where appropriate)

  44. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • Drug treatment • Drugs that reduce coagulation and therefore the risk of thrombosis, such as aspirin and coumadin • Drugs that block sympathetic stimulation (propranolol or metoprolol) • Drugs that cause vasodilation, such as nitroglycerin • Drugs that block calcium movement into the cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells (calcium channel blockers) • In a myocardial infarction, drugs to relieve pain, fibrinolytic agents to help dissolve clots, and oxygen

  45. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • Noninvasive surgery • Atherectomy • Blockage by a single, soft plaque may be reduced with the aid of a long, slender catheter inserted into a coronary artery to the plaque

  46. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • Noninvasive surgery • Balloonangioplasty • The tip of the catheter contains an inflatable balloon • Once in position, the balloon is inflated, pressing the plaque against the vessel walls • Because plaques commonly redevelop after angioplasty, a fine tubular wire mesh called a stent may be inserted into the vessel, holding it open

  47. 20-1 Anatomy of the Heart • Heart Disease – Coronary Artery Disease • Treatment of CAD and myocardial infarction • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) • In a coronary artery bypass graft, a small section is removed from either a small artery or a peripheral vein and is used to create a detour around the obstructed portion of a coronary artery • As many as four coronary arteries can be rerouted this way during a single operation • The procedures are named according to the number of vessels repaired, so we speak of single, double, triple, or quadruple coronary bypasses
