    Coronary V. Insufficiency

    Clinical manifistation:Clinical manifistation:

    Disease of coronary artery is almost due to atheroma

    and its complications particularly thrombosis.

    1. Stable angina

    2. Unstable angina

    3. Myocardial Infarction M.I.

    4. Heart Failure

    5. Arrhythmia

    Angina Pectoris:

    Chest pain due to myocardial ischemia.

    Ischemia occurs when there is imbalance between

    myocardial oxygen supply ( coronary blood flow) and

    myocardial oxygen demand ( myocardial work)

    Imbalance between

    Decrease oxygen supply

    due to fixed atheroscleroticnarrowing

    Increase Oxygen Demand due to

    increase heart rate, Increase

    ventricular contraction, exercise,

    emotional stress.

    1. Classic, effort, stable angina

    present with retrosternal pain, transient 2-5 minprecipitated by exertion andRELIVED BY REST.

    2. Unstable angina

    Prolonged severe chest pain or pain at rest. It is a rapid

    worsening angina that may progress to M.I.

    * Myocardial infarction: is due to the death of an area of

    myocardium due to prolonged ischemia more than 15 min

    induced by coronary thrombosis. Present by severe

    prolonged pain pallor, breathlessness, vomiting, collapse,

    hypotension and bradycardia ( vagus stimulation).

    3. Vasospastic, Variant angina: Transient spasm present with acute

    episode of coronary artery spasm with severe chest painAT

    REST

    Types of Angina

    5/69

    1. Fixed athermatous narrowing of large coronary

    vessels (common).

    { Stable (effort) angina, Unstable (resting) angina }

    2. Transient spasm of localized portion of

    coronary vessels with / without atheroma(less common)

    (vasospastic, variant, prinzmetals angina)

    1.To Increase Oxygen delivery to the

    myocardium & increase coronary

    perfusion . vasodilators (e.g. nitrates

    2. To decrease Oxygen demand. By drugs

    which depress the cardiac work (e.g CCB

    I-MENTION

    A-Why the combined use of beta blockers

    and nitrates can be very effective in

    treatment of typical angina?

    This combination is a useful combination because:

    The two effects of the drugs synergize , allowing lower

    doses of each drug to be used. Beta blockers decrease the

    rate and force of contraction and nitrates decrease

    cardiac preload and afterload ;both . Myocardial O2consumption.

    The compensatory sympathetic reflexes produced by

    nitrates are inhibited by beta blockers.

    I-MENTION c-Drug of choice in treatment of hypertension and

    ischemic heart disease

    Beta blockers: Treat both hypertension (by its

    antihypertensive effects) and IHD( by its antianginal
