Condition Angina Pectoris (Stable Angina)
Description Blockade of coronary artery leads to reduced coronary circulation (partial occlude)
Trigger: Physical Exertion / Extreme Emotion / Eating a heavy meal / Exposure to cold (4
E)
Can caused by: Commonly atheroma, sometimes coronary artery spasm / embolus
Reversible: No necrosis or tissue damage
Epidemiology Men 45-65
Presentation Central diffuse constrictive chest pain (may be a vague barely troublesome ache)
May rapidly become a severe intense precordial crushing sensation
Pain may refer to left shoulder, arm, neck or upper back (occasionally refer to right arm)
Dyspnoea
Symptoms relieved within 5 mins by resting or nitrates
Testing Blood Pressure: Hyper or Hypotension (look for extremes) Pulse: Tachy or Bradycardia
Apical Impulse: Lateralisation (Cardiomegaly) / Double bounce (Cardiomyopathy) /
Absent 🕿Ventricular Tachycardia due to ↓ Stroke Volume)
Percussion: Cardiomegaly
Auscultation: 3rd or 4th heart sound (potential gallop rhythm)
History Taking: Chest discomfort / Sx precipitated by trigger / Alleviated by rest
ECG Stress Test +/- and Imaging +ve: Confirmation of diagnosis
Coronary Angiography: Assess feasibility of PCI/ CABG
Treatment Increase Awareness / Conservation Management:
● Identification of hypertension patient
● Alert any changes in pattern of triggers 🡺 high risk
● Referral for assessment of severity of arterial disease and medical management
Pharmacological: Antiplatelet / Statin / Beta Blocker / ACEI / CCB / Nitro-glycerine
Region CVS
Condition Unstable Angina
Description Acute obstruction of a coronary artery without myocardial damage
Outcome based on the location of obstruction
Epidemiology Men 45-65
