Blood Supply of Heart
 Rt.and Lt.Coronary Arteries-Arise from root of AORTA
 Supply blood during Diastole
 Veins: Cardiac Vein and Coronary Sinus
 Myocardium-Max.Supply
Site of Infarct: Distal to the occlusion
TERMS
Ischaemia: Ischemia is a restriction in blood
supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is
needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).
Infarction: Tissue death (necrosis) due to inadequate
blood supply to the affected area. Latin infarctus,
"stuffed into.
Angina: Angina is pressure, squeezing, burning, or
tightness in the chest. The pain or discomfort usually
starts behind the breastbone & can occur in the arms,
shoulders, neck, jaw, throat, or back. The pain may
feel like indigestion.
DEFINITION OF IHD
Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) is defined as
acute or chronic form of cardiac disability due
to imbalance between myocardial supply and
demand of oxygenated blood.
Synonym : CAD
2020: commonest leading cause of Death
IHD
1.Asymptomatic
2.Angina Pectoris
3.Acute Myocardial Infarction
4.Chronic Ischemic Heart
Disease
5.Sudden Cardiac Death
ETIOPATHOGENESIS
Etiology
1.Coronary Atherosclerosis
2.Superadded changes in Coronary
Atherosclerosis
Non-Atherosclerotic Causes
Coronary Atherosclerosis
 90% Cases
 Fixed Obstruction
Specific lesions in Atherosclerosis
 1.Distribution:
a.Ant.Descending branch
b.Rt.Coronary
c.Circumflex a.
 2. Location :
Area of involvement-3-4 cm. from coronary Ostia
Bifurcation of Arteries
Atherosclerotic plaques are seen throughout the coronaries.
Superadded changes in Coronary Atherosclerosis
Acute changes in chr.atheromatous
plaque(spasm)
Haemorrhage
Fissure
Ulcer------thrombosis,embolization
Coronary Artery Thrombosis-Transmural MI
Local platelet aggregation & coronary artery
spasm

Acute Coronary Syndrome
Absolute Medical Emergency
 Triad:Umbrella term
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction

3. Sudden Cardiac Death
ANGINA PECTORIS
 Clinical syndrome
 Transient Myocardial Ischemia
 Symptom:

2.Aggravated by Increased Demand
3.Relievedby rest.
Site:Left arm
Neck

Right Arm
Age/sex: 50 yrs./Males
Clinical Patterns of Angina
 3 types:
1.Stable or Typical Angina
2.Prinzmetal’s Variant Angina
3.Unstable or Crescendo Angina
Stable or Typical Angina
Perfusion less on demand
Relieved on rest
Chr.sclerosing coronary AS
ST depressed---Poor perfusion of
Subendocardium
No enzyme elevation
No Irreversible Myocardial injury
Prinzmetals Variant Angina
 Pain at rest
 Sudden vasospasm
 ST elevation –Transmural Ischemia
 Vaodilator(Nitroglycerine )effective
Crescendo or Unstable Angina
 Pre-Infarction Angina or
 Acute Coronary Insufficiency
Pain frequent
prolonged
rest
D/d- AMI has ST elevation
Causes: Stenosing coronary AS
Complicated plaque
Vasospasm
Infarction is prevented by Collaterals.
Myocardial cell necrosis+
