The patient most likely to be treated with Bivalirudin. Bivalirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor that can be used as an alternative to heparin in patients who have developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Abciximab, tirofiban, and plasminogen are not appropriate replacements for heparin in this clinical scenario.
Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Certain conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.
Definition of arrhythmia - background on cardiac physiology including conduction in heart - action potential - pathogensis of arrhythmia - causes and risk factors for arrhythmia- diagnosis of arrhythmia - symptoms of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias - investigations for arrhythmia - treatment of arrhythmia - pharmacological and other modalities of therapy for arrhythmia - managment of different types of arrhythmias
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) caused by atherosclerosis of the epicardial vessels leading to coronary heart disease (CHD) is the main etiology of IHD.
Leading cause of death
Resulting from myocardial ischemia—an imbalance between the supply (perfusion) and demand of the heart for oxygenated blood.
90% of cases, the cause of myocardial ischemia is reduced blood flow due to obstructive atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries.
IHD is often termed coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease.
There is a long period (up to decades) of silent, slow progression of coronary lesions before symptoms appear.
IHD are only the late manifestations of coronary atherosclerosis that may have started during childhood or adolescence

This highly energetic lecture presents the pathophysiology of S-T elevation myocardial infarction in an easy to understand style to help you best identify, triage and treat patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. Using the latest research behind the AHA Guidelines changes, AHA National Faculty Rom Duckworth will help you better coordinate with you partners along the continuum of cardiac care. Emphasis is placed on risk factors, recognizing truly sick patients and coordinating care with hospital personnel.
Learning Objectives: Students will learn:
-The pathophysiology of S-T elevation myocardial infarction.
-The difference between STEMI, NSTEMI and unstable angina.
-Differing treatment methods and priorities for different cardiac syndromes.
-The function and importance of 12 lead ECG and prehospital diagnostic testing.
-The roles and responsibilities of EMS providers as the key element in “door-to-balloon” and “door-to-needle” time for STEMI patients.

The prolong complications of coronary artery disease such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cardiac heart failure, its management and surgical mgt.
IHD also known as coronary artery diseases is a condition in which there is inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium. Imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand causes Angina, MI, Hear failure, and Arrhythmia
2. Presentation Outline

• Epidemiology
• Pathophysiology
• Types
• Diagnosis
• Management
• Classification Of Anti-Platelets
• MOA and role of drugs in IHD

• Latest trends
3. What is Ischemic Heart Disease
Group of diseases resulting from Myocardial Ischemia
- imbalance between the supply (perfusion) and demand of the heart
for oxygenated blood.
• Coronary Arteries become narrowed
Either due to
Atheroma formation
Or
Connective tissue disorders
•Most common form of Heart Disease
5. Epidemiology
Pakistan ranks 63rd in the world
Deaths due to CHD have reached 9.8% of total deaths
Risk after age 40 is 2 in 3 men & more than
1 in 2 women.
CAD as of 2010 was the
leading cause of death globally resulting in
over 7 million deaths
84% of those who die from CAD are 65 or older
In Pakistan, 33% of population above the age of 45 has hypertension
Prevalence of hypertension is 19% in people of age 15 or above

7. What are the Health Concerns/Risk
Factors
Uncontrolled Controlled
Sex
Hereditary
Race
Age
High blood pressure
High blood cholesterol
Smoking
Physical activity
Obesity
Diet high in saturated fat &
cholesterol
Diabetes
Stress and anger
10. Pathophysiology contd.
• Stable plaque
Predictable angina
• Unstable plaque ruptures
Activating clotting system & thrombus formation
Impairs coronary blood flow causing unstable angina or MI
• MI heals with scarring
Impaired contractility & increasing stiffness
Leading to HF- acute/chronic
• Ischemic areas & scars
Prone to cause ventricular arrhythmias
Leading to sudden death
26. • Drugs used to decrease
clotting or dissolve clots
already present in
patients.
Among them we have:
1. Anti clotting drugs
• Drugs used to increase
clotting in patients with
clotting deficiencies.
Among them we have:
1. Replacement factors
2. Vitamin K
3. Anti plasmins drugs

Editor's Notes
person stopping smoking will reduce his/her own risk by
25%. The risk from smoking declines to almost normal after
10 years of abstention.
