Myocardial infartion pathophysiology
Myocardial infarction occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing heart muscle tissue to die. This is usually due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries. There are different types of myocardial infarction defined by location and pathology. The pathophysiology involves plaque rupture triggering blood clot formation that blocks an artery, causing ischemia and cell death. This damages the heart muscle and can impair heart function. Diagnosis involves ECG and blood tests to detect cardiac enzymes released during cell death. Treatment goals to limit damage include restoring blood flow and preventing further clotting.
Statins
This document summarizes information about statins, including their uses, mechanisms of action, types, interactions, and safety considerations. It discusses how statins are used to prevent heart disease by lowering LDL cholesterol and discusses their four proposed mechanisms of action, including improving endothelial function and maintaining plaque stability. It also provides comparisons of different statin medications and identifies atorvastatin and simvastatin as producing the greatest LDL reduction, as well as pravastatin and fluvastatin as having fewer drug interactions.
Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis occurs when misfolded proteins aggregate and deposit in extracellular tissues, causing damage. The deposits take up Congo Red stain and show apple-green birefringence under polarized light. Amyloidosis can be systemic, involving multiple organs, or localized to one organ. The main types are primary amyloidosis, caused by immunoglobulin light chain deposition; secondary, caused by serum amyloid A protein in chronic inflammatory states; and familial Mediterranean fever. Treatment involves chemotherapy, blood thinners, dialysis, organ transplantation or stem cell transplant depending on the severity and organs involved.
Drug induced parkinsonism
Certain drugs like reserpine, tetrabenazine, haloperidol, and metoclopramide can deplete dopamine or block dopamine receptors, leading to a parkinsonian syndrome within 3 months. The syndrome is symmetric with mild tremor and usually resolves after withdrawing the causative drug. For treatment, antimuscarinic agents are preferred over levodopa, which may worsen symptoms if the neuroleptic drug is continued. MPTP, through its metabolite MPP+, can selectively damage cells in the substantia nigra by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I, leading to parkinsonism through striatal dopamine depletion. MPTP parkinsonism was discovered in individuals who self-administered M

Pharmacotherapy of Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a disease where arteries narrow and harden due to plaque buildup. It is a chronic inflammatory response to injury of the arterial wall. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes. Plaque builds up over time due to accumulation of macrophages and LDL cholesterol. Symptoms depend on the location of blockages but may include chest pain or numbness. Diagnosis involves tests like ultrasounds, blood tests, and angiograms. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to control risk factors and slow progression, while procedures like angioplasty and bypass surgery are sometimes needed for severe blockages.
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Acute coronary syndrome is a term used to describe a range of conditions associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart.
One such condition is a heart attack (myocardial infarction) — when cell death results in damaged or destroyed heart tissue. Even when acute coronary syndrome causes no cell death, the reduced blood flow changes how your heart works and is a sign of a high risk of heart attack.
Acute coronary syndrome often causes severe chest pain or discomfort. It is a medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and care. The goals of treatment include improving blood flow, treating complications and preventing future problems.
Angina pectoris
This document defines angina pectoris as recurring chest pain or discomfort caused by decreased blood flow to the heart. It describes the general symptoms of angina and the three main types: stable angina induced by physical activity and relieved by rest, unstable angina which occurs more frequently and can lead to heart attack, and Prinzmetal's angina which occurs at rest due to coronary artery spasm. The case presented is determined to be stable angina based on the chest tightness occurring during physical activity and disappearing with rest.
