2. 2
Coronary heart disease (CHD)
Defined (Etiologic Dx)
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a
condition in which proper circulation of blood
and oxygen are not provided to heart and
surrounding tissue.
Result is due to a narrowing of small blood
vessels, which normally supply heart with
blood and oxygen.
Coronary heart disease, a type of
cardiovascular disease, is the leading
cause of death for both men and women
in the United States.
3. 3
Causes (Anatomic Dx)
The typical cause of
coronary heart
disease is
atherosclerosis,
which takes place
with plaque and fatty
build up on the
artery walls,
narrowing the
vessels.
5. 5
CAD Risk Factors
Certain conditions are considered to put an individual at greater
risk for coronary heart disease. The following are some risk
factors:
1. Age (particularly 40+)
2. Diabetes
3. Genetics (heredity)
4. High blood pressure
5. High bad cholesterol (LDL)
6. Increased levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, or homocysteine
7. Lack of sufficient physical activity
8. Low good cholesterol (HDL)
9. Menopause
10. Obesity
11. Smoking
6. 6
Symptoms
Some more frequent
symptoms of coronary
heart disease include:
1. Angina (ischemic pain)
2. Myocardial Infarction
3. Shortness of breath
7. 7
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of coronary heart disease may be
accomplished by a variety of means:
1. Coronary angiography
2. Coronary arteriography
3. Coronary CT angiography
4. Echocardiogram
5. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
6. Electron-beam CT (EBCT)
7. Exercise stress test
8. Magnetic resonance angiography
9. Nuclear scan
8. 8
Treatment
Coronary heart disease treatment methods
may include: (depends on the presenting
Physiologic Dx)
1. Angioplasty with stenting
2. Coronary artery bypass surgery
3. Medication
4. Minimally invasive heart surgery
5. Proper diet and exercise
6. Quitting smoking
10. 10
Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain)
When the supply of
oxygen and nutrients in
the blood is insufficient
to meet the demands of
the heart, the heart
muscle aches
The heart demands a
large supply of oxygen
to meet the demands
placed on it The myocardial supply:demand ratio--a critical
review. [Am J Cardiol. 1978]

13. 13
Types of Angina
Chronic stable angina
(also called classic or effort angina)
Unstable angina
(also called preinfarction or crescendo angina)
Vasospastic angina
(also called Prinzmetal’s or variant angina)
15. 15
Antianginal Agents:
Therapeutic Objectives
Minimize the frequency of attacks and
decrease the duration and intensity of anginal
pain
Improve the patient’s functional capacity with
as few side effects as possible
Prevent or delay the worst possible outcome,
MI
17. 17
Antianginal Agents: Nitrates(2)
Cause vasodilation due to relaxation of
smooth muscles
Potent dilating effect on coronary
arteries
Used for prophylaxis and treatment
of angina
18. 18
Antianginal Agents: Nitrates(3)
Nitroglycerin
Prototypical nitrate
Large first-pass effect with PO forms
Used for symptomatic treatment of ischemic
heart conditions (angina)
IV form used for BP control in perioperative
hypertension, treatment of CHF, ischemic pain,
and pulmonary edema associated with acute MI
19. 19
Antianginal Agents: Nitrates(4)
isosorbide dinitrate
(Isordil, Sorbitrate, Dilatrate SR)
isosorbide mononitrate
(Imdur, Monoket, ISMO)
Used for:
Acute relief of angina
Prophylaxis in situations that may provoke
angina
Long-term prophylaxis of angina
20. 20
Antianginal Agents: Nitrates(5)
Side Effects
Headache
Usually diminish in intensity and frequency
with continued use
Tachycardia, postural hypotension
Tolerance may develop
22. 22
Antianginal Agents:
Beta Blockers(2)
Mechanism of Action
Decrease the HR, resulting in decreased
myocardial oxygen demand and increased
oxygen delivery to the heart
Decrease myocardial contractility, helping to
conserve energy or decrease demand
28. 28
Antianginal Agents:
Calcium Channel Blockers(2)
Therapeutic Uses
First-line agents for treatment of angina,
hypertension, and supraventricular
tachycardia
Short-term management of atrial fibrillation
and flutter
Several other uses
29. 29
Antianginal Agents:
Calcium Channel Blockers(3)
Side Effects
Very acceptable side effect and safety profile
May cause hypotension, palpitations, tachycardia
or bradycardia, constipation, nausea, dyspnea
