INTRODUCTION
As a part of Medical & Surgical Nursing I came across the patient, Mr. Balram Das
65yrs old. who came to the hospital with the alleged history of shortness of breath on
exertion for last 4 months. Doctor has seen him in the causality and advised
hospitalization and advised for lab investigation like complete blood count,
hemoglobin, total blood count etc. I thought that he needs special care. I took his case
as my case study patient from 12/01/2023 to 16/01/2023. with the history of
occasional increase BP (irregular mods) presented with above complaints to EST
maintain- diagnosed as Coronary Artery Disease with Hypertension and Type2 DM
he was looking so weak and very poor condition. I felt that he needs care and I have
taken this case for my case study.

INTRODUCTION
Coronary artery disease is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually
caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis (sometimes called "hardening" or "clogging"
of the arteries) is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits (called plaques) on the
inner walls of the arteries. These plaques can restrict blood flow to the heart muscle by
physically clogging the artery or by causing abnormal artery tone and function.Without
an adequate blood supply, the heart becomes starved of oxygen and the vital nutrients it
needs to work properly. This can cause chest pain called angina. If the blood supply to a
portion of the heart muscle is cut off entirely, or if the energy demands of the heart
become much greater than its blood supply, a heart attack (injury to the heart muscle)
may occur.
DEFINITION:-A narrowing of the coronary arteries that prevents adequate blood
supply t the heart muscle is called coronary artery disease. Usually caused by
atherosclerosis, it may progress to the point where the heart muscle is damaged due to
lack of blood supply. Such damage may result in infarction, arrhythmias, and heart
failure.
INCIDENCE
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States.
Coronary artery disease affects 16.5 million Americans. The American Heart
Association (AHA) estimates that someone in the US has a heart attack about every 40
seconds. In addition, for patients with no risk factors for heart disease, the lifetime risk
of having cardiovascular disease is 3.6% for men and less than 1% for women. Having
2 or more risk factors increase the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease to 37.5% for
men and 18.3% in women.

TYPES OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
According to Book In patient
1. Unstable angina: This may be a new
symptom or a change from stable angina.
The angina may occur more frequently,
occur more easily at rest, feel more severe,
or last longer. Although this can often be
relieved with oral medications (such as
nitroglycerin), it is unstable and may
progress to a heart attack. Usually, more
intense medical treatment or a procedure is
required to treat unstable angina.
2. Non-ST segment elevation myocardial
infarction (NSTEMI): This type of heart
attack, or MI, does not cause major changes
on an electrocardiogram (ECG). However,
chemical markers in the blood indicate that
damage has occurred to the heart muscle.
In NSTEMI, the blockage may be partial or
temporary, so the extent of the damage is
usually relatively small.
3. ST segment elevation myocardial
infarction (STEMI): This type of heart
attack, or MI, is caused by a sudden
blockage in blood supply. It affects a large
area of the heart muscle and causes changes
on the ECG as well as in blood levels of key
chemical markers.

13. Male gender. Men have a greater risk of
heart attack than women do, and men
have heart attacks earlier in life than
women. However, beginning at age 70,
the risk is equal for men and women.
Advanced age. Coronary artery disease
is more likely to occur as person get
older, especially after Age 65.
Family history of heart disease. an increased
risk of developing heart disease if have a parent
with a history of heart disease, especially if they
were diagnosed before Age 50.
Race. African Americans have more severe high
blood pressure than Caucasians and, therefore,
have a higher risk of heart disease. The risk of
heart disease is also higher among Mexican
Americans, American Indians, native
Hawaiians, and some Asian Americans. This is
partly due to higher rates of obesity and diabetes
in these populations.
Modifiable risk factors (those you can treat or
control) include:
Cigarette smoking and exposure to
tobacco smoke
High blood cholesterol and high
triglycerides – especially high LDL
("bad") cholesterol over 100 mg/dL and
low HDL ("good") cholesterol under 40
mg/dL. Some patients who have existing
heart or blood vessel disease, and other
patients who have a very high risk,
should aim for an LDL level less than 70
mg/dL.

agonizing pain accompanied by severe
apprehension and a feeling of impending death.
The pain is often felt deep in the chest
behind the upper or middle third of the
sternum (retrosternal area).
Typically, the pain or discomfort is poorly
localized and may radiate to the neck, jaw,
shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper
arms, usually the left arm.
The patient often feels tightness or a heavy,
choking, or strangling sensation that has a
viselike, insistent quality.
The patient with diabetes mellitus may not
have severe pain with angina because the
neuropathy that accompanies diabetes can
interfere with neuroreceptors, dulling the
patient’s perception of pain.
A feeling of weakness or numbness in the
arms, wrists, and hands may accompany the
pain, as may shortness of breath, pallor,
diaphoresis, dizziness or light headedness
and nausea and vomiting.
When these symptoms appear alone, they are called
angina – like symptoms. Anxiety may accompany
angina. An important characteristic of angina is that
it abates or subsides with rest or nitroglycerin.

4. Radionuclide imaging- a radioisotope,
thallium 201, injected during exercise is
imaged by camera. Low uptake of the
isotope by heart muscle indicates regions
of ischemia induced by exercise. Images
taken during rest show a reversal of
ischemia in those regions affected.
5. Radionuclide ventriculography (gated
blood pool scanning) – red blood cells
tagged with a radioisotope are imaged by
camera during exercise and at rest. Wall
motion abnormalities of the heart can be
detected and ejection fraction estimated.
6. Cardiac catheterization- coronary
angiography performed during the
procedure determines the presence,
location, and extent of coronary lesions.

Describe the
management
of CAD.
MANAGEMENT-
Objectives of management- the treatment of angina aims to decrease oxygen demand
and/or increase oxygen supply.
BOOK PICTURE PATIENT PICTURE
Immediate Management-
Patient with angina pectoris relax, rest or lie
down to alleviate the pain.
Calm and focusing on breathing. Breathe in
through the nose and breathe out slowly from
the mouth.
Administration of oxygen- oxygen therapy is
usually initiated at the onset of chest pain in
an attempt to increase the amount of oxygen
delivered to the myocardium and to decrease
pain. The therapeutic effectiveness of oxygen
is determined by observing the rate and
rhythm of respirations and the color or skin
and mucous membranes. Blood oxygen
saturation is monitored by pulse oximetry;
the normal oxygen saturation (SpO2) level is
greater than 90%.
Take Nitroglycerin.
If the pain or discomfort does not stop a few
minutes after taking nitroglycerin or if
symptoms become more severe, call 911 or
let someone know that need immediate
medical assistance.
Pharmacological management-

What are the
management of
CAD.?
21. Nitroglycerin may be given by
several routes: sublingual tablet or
spray, oral capsule, topical agent, and
intravenous (IV) administration.
Nitrates are a standard treatment for
angina pectoris.
Nitroglycerin is a potent vasodilator
that improves blood flow to the heart
muscle and relieves pain.
Nitroglycerin dilates primarily the
veins and, to a lesser extent, the
arteries.
Dilation of the veins causes venous
pooling of blood throughout the
body. As a result, less blood returns
to the heart, and filling pressure
(preload) is reduced.
Sublingual Nitroglycerin- is generally placed under
the tongue or in the cheek (buccal pouch) and ideally
alleviates the pain of ischemia within 3 minutes.
With sublingual nitroglycerin, the nurse should
check the patient’s medication history for drugs that
may lead to dry mouth and mucous membranes and
thus impair the absorption of the drug.
A continuous or intermittent IV infusion of
nitroglycerin may be administered to the
hospitalized patient with recurring sign and
symptoms of ischemia or after a revacularization
procedure. The rate of infusion is titrated to the
patient’s pain level and blood pressure. It usually is
not administered if the systolic blood pressure is less
than 90 mm Hg.
Self-Administration of Nitroglycerine-
Instruct the patient to make sure the mouth is
moist, the tongue is still, and saliva is not
swallowed until thenitroglycerin tablet
22. dissolves. If the pain is hasten sublingual
absorption.
Advise the patient to carry the medication at
all times as a precaution.
Explain that nitroglycerine is volatile and is
inactivated by heat, moisture, air, light, and
time. Instruct the patient to renew the
nitroglycerin supply every 6 months.
Inform the patient that the medication should
be taken in anticipation of any activity that
may produce pain. Because nitroglycerin
increases tolerance for exercise and stress
when taken prophylactically (i.e., before
angina-producing activity, such as exercise,
stair-climbing, or sexual intercourse), it is
best taken before pain develops.
Discuss possible side effects of nitroglycerin,
including flushing, throbbing headache,
hypotension, and tachycardia.
Advise the patient to sit down for a few
minutes when taking nitroglycerin to avoid
hypotension and syncope.
2. Beta-Adrenergic Blocking Agents-
[Metoprolol(Lopressor, Toprol)]
[Atenolol(Temormin)]
Beta-blockers reduce myocardial oxygen
consumption by blocking beta-adrenergic
sympathetic stimulation to the heart.
The result is a reduction in heart rate, slowed
conduction of impulses through the
conduction system, decreased blood
pressure, and reduced myocardial
contractility (force of contraction).
Because of these effects, beta-blockers
balance the myocardial oxygen needs
Patient is getting Metaprolol.
23. (demands) and the amount of oxygen
available (supply).
This helps control chest pain and delays the
onset of ischemia during work or exercise.
Beta-blockers reduce the incidence of
recurrent angina, infarction, and cardiac
mortality.
The dose can be titrated to achieve a resting
heart rate of 50 to 60 b/m.
Side effects including depressed mood,
fatigue, decreased libido, and dizziness.
3. Calcium Channel Blocking
Agents[Amlodipine(Norvasc)][Diltiazem(Car
dizem, Tiazac) Nifedipine(Procardia),
Verapamil, Felodipine, Nicardipine]
Calcium channel blockers have a variety
of effects on the ischemic myocardium.

automaticity and artioventricular node
conduction, resulting in a slower heart
rate and a decrease in the strength of
myocardial contraction.
Hypotension may occur after the
administration of any of the calcium
channel blockers, particularly when
administered IV.
Side effect may include atrioventricular
block, bradycardia, and constipation.
Prevent calcium entry into vascular
smooth muscle cells and myocytes
(cardiac cells).
4. Antiplatelet Medications- [Aspirin,
Clopidagrel (Plavix), Prasugrel (Effient),
Mr. Balram Das is getting
Nicardia
24. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa agents:,
Abciximab(ReoPro), Eptifibatide (Integrilin)]
Antiplatelet medications are administered to prevent
platelet aggregation and subsequent thrombosis,
which impedes blood flow through the coronary
arteries.
Aspirin prevents platelet aggregation
and reduces the incidence of MI and
death in patients with CAD.
A 162-325 mg dose of aspirin should be
given to the patient with a new diagnosis
of angina and then continued with 81 to
325 mg daily.
Clopidogrel and Ticlopidine-
Clopidogrel (Plavix) or Ticlopidine
(Ticlid) is given to patients who are
allergic to aspirin or given in addition to
aspirin in patients at high risk for MI.
Unlike aspirin, these medication take a
few days to achieve their antiplatelet
effect.
They also cause gastrointestinal upset,
including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
and they decrease the neutrophil level.
Thienopyridines- these medications act
on different pathways than aspirin to
block platelet activation.
However, unlike aspirin, these agents
may take a few days to achieve
antiplatelet effects. Clopidogrel (plavix)
is commonly prescribed in addition to
aspirin in patients at high risk for MI.
Mr. Balram Das getting aspirin
25. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Agents- IV
administration of glycoprotein (GP)
IIb/IIIa agents, such as abciximab
(ReoPro) or eptifibatide (Integrilin), is
indicated for hospitalized patients with
unstable angina and as adjunct therapy
for PCL.
These agents prevent platelet aggregation
by blocking the GP IIb/IIIa receptor on
the platelets,
Preventing adhesion of fibrinogen and
other factors that crosslink platelets to
each other and thus from intracoronary
clots.
As with heparin, bleeding is the major
side effect, and bleeding preventions
should be initiated.
5. Anticoagulant Medications-
Heparin- unfractionated IV heparin
prevents the formulation of new blood
clots. Treating patients with unstable
angina with heparin reduces the
occurrence of MI.
If the patient’s sign and symptoms
indicate a significant risk for a cardiac
event, the patient is hospitalized and may
be given an IV bolus of heparin and
started on a continuous infusion.
The amount of heparin administered is
based on the results of the activated
partial thromboplastin time.
Opioid Analgesics-
Morphine-
Functions as an analgesic and sedative.
Acts as a vasodilator to reduce preload and
myocardial O2 consumption.

Nursing Management-
Assessment
1. Ask patient to describe angina attacks.
(a) When do attacks tend to occur? After a meal? After engaging in certain activities?
After physical activities in general? After visits of family/others?
(b) Where is the pain located? Does it radiate?
(c) Was the onset of pain sudden? Gradual?
(d) How long did it last- seconds? Minutes? Hours?
(e) How is the pain relieved? How long does it take for pain relief?
Nursing interventions for a patient with angina pectoris include:
1. Treating angina- if the patient reports pain, the nurse takes immediate action.

management of

27. The nurse should instruct the patient to stop all activities and sit or rest in bed
in a semi-Fowler’s position to reduce the oxygen requirements of the
ischemic myocardium.
The nurse then continues to assess the patient, measuring vital signs and
observing for signs of respiratory distress.
If the patient is in the hospital, a 12-lead ECG is usually obtained and
scrutinized for ST-segment and T-wave changes.
If the patient has been placed on cardiac monitoring with continuous ST-
segment monitoring, the ST- segment is assessed for changes.
Nitroglycerin is administered sublingually, and the patient’s response is
assessed. If the chest pain is unchanged or is lessened but still present,
nitroglycerin administration is repeated up to three doses.
The nurse administers oxygen therapy if the patient’s respiratory rate is
increased or the oxygen saturation level is decreased.
2. Reducing anxiety- patients with angina often fear loss of their roles within society
and the family.
They may also be fearful that the pain may lead to an MI or death.
Various stress reduction methods should be explored with the patient. For
example, music therapy.
Addressing the spiritual needs of the patient and family may also assist in
allaying anxieties and fears.
3. Preventing pain- The nurse reviews the assessment findings, identifies the level of
activity that causes the patient’s pain, and plans the patient’s activities accordingly.
If the patient has pain frequently or with minimal activity, the nurse
alternates the patient’s activities with rest periods.
Home Care Guidelines
28. The goals of education ate to reduce the frequency and severity of anginal attacks, to
delay the progress of the underlying disease if possible, and to prevent complications.
Reduce anginal attacks. Activities should be planned to minimize the occurrence
of angina episodes.
Follow-up monitoring. The patient may need reminders about follow-up
monitoring, including periodic blood laboratory testing and ECGs.
Adherence. The home care nurse may monitor the patient’s adherence to dietary
restrictions and to prescribed antianginal medications.
Client Teaching- The client must be knowledgeable in the care of episodes of angina and
how to reduce the risk factors that exacerbate the process.
The nurse should provide the client with the following instructions:
Avoid known activities that precipitate angina (e.g., eating large meals, smoking,
strenuous exercise, extremes in weather, increased humidity, excess stress.)
If angina occurs, stop the activity, sit down and rest, and take nitroglycerin if
prescribed (three tablets taken 5-10 minutes apart).
If the pain does not subside, worsens, or radiates, Notify the physician or go to
the emergency room. Do not drive yourself.
29. NURSING DIAGNOSIS

42. THEORY APPLICATION FOR Mr. BALRAM DAS
Introduction
“Nursing theories mirror different realities, throughout their development; they reflected the interests of nurses of that time.”
Nursing: Need Theory. Henderson's theory stresses the priority of patient self-determination so the patient will continue doing well after being released from the
hospital. ... The role of the nurse helps the patient become an individual again. She arranged nursing tasks into 14 different components based on personal needs...
The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peace
full death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge.
Definition
Virginia Henderson defines nursing as ‘assisting the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities that will contribute to health, recovery, or a
peaceful death and that the individual would perform unaided if he or she had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge’
Henderson’s Theory and the Four Major concept
Henderson viewed human being, health, environment and Nursing as follows:
Human being: The patient as an individual who requires assistance to achieve health and independence or peaceful death. The mind and body are inseparable.
The patient and his family are viewed as a unit.
Health: She views health in terms of the patient’s ability to perform unaided the 14 components of nursing care. She says it is “the quality of health rather than
life itself, that margin of mental physical vigor that allows a person to work most effectively and to reach his highest potential of satisfaction in life. She does not
state her own definition of health.
Environment: She used Webster Dictionary, which defines environment as “the aggregate of all the external conditions and influences affecting the life and
development of an organism.
Nursing:In 1966, Henderson’s ultimate statements in the definition of nursing were published of her ideas. It reads as follows:
“The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or
to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this, in such a way as to help him gain
independence as rapidly as possible.”
Henderson needs theory:
The Nature of nursing Model
1922 she conceptualized the role of the nurse as assisting sick or healthy individuals to gain independence in meeting the 14 fundamental needs.
43. Henderson’s Basic needs
Henderson does not give any definition of need. Her focuses on individual care is evident in that she stressed assisting individuals with essential activities to
maintain health, to recover, or to achieve peaceful death. She proposed 14 basic needs of patients. For basic Nursing care to augment her definitions, which
comprise the components of nursing care, these include the need to:
1. Breathe normally.
2. Eat and drink adequately
3. Eliminate body wastes.
4. Move and maintain desirable position.
5. Sleep and rest.
6. Select suitable clothes—dress and undress.
7. Maintain body temperature within normal range by adjusting clothing and modifying the environment
8. Keep the body clean and well grange by groomed and protect integument.
9. Avoid dangers in environment and avoid injuring others.
10. Communicate with others in expressing emotions, need, and fears of options.
11. Worship according to one’s faith.
12. Work in such a way that there is a sense of accomplishments.
13. Play or participate in various forms of recreations.
14. Learn, discover, or satisfy the curiosity that leads to normal development and health and use the available health facilities
These needs were considers on basic principles of nursing care.
Henderson’s on Nursing Process
Henderson views the nursing process as “really the application of the logical approach to the solution of a problem. The steps are those of the scientific method.”
“Nursing process stresses the science of nursing rather than the mixture of science and art on which it seems effective health care service of any kind is based.”
A. Nursing Assessment
Assess needs of human being based in the 14 components of basic nursing care.
Breathe normally.
Eat and drink adequately
Eliminate body wastes.
Move and maintain.
Sleep and rest.
Suitable clothing, dress and uniform.
Maintain body temperature.
Keep body clean and well grange by groomed.
44. Avoid dangers in environment..
Communicate.
Worship according to one’s faith.
Recreation.
Learn, discover of satisfy curiosity.
Analysis: compare data to knowledge base of health and disease.
B. Nursing Diagnosis
Identify individuals ability to meet own needs with or without assistance, taking into consideration strength will or knowledge.
C. Nursing Plan
Document how the nurse can assist the individual sick or well.
D. Nursing Implementation
Assist the sick or well individual in the performance of activities in meeting human needs to maintain health, recover from illness or to aid in peaceful
death. Implementation based on principles age, culture background, emotional balance and intellectual capacities carry out treatment prescribed by the
Doctor.
E. Nursing evaluation
Use the acceptable definition of nursing and appropriate laws related to the practice of nursing. The quality of care distinctly of the nursing personnel rather than
the amount of care. Successful outcome of Nursing care is based on the speed with then which the patient performs indendently ADL.

50. INTRODUCTION:- Coronary artery disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply to heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing
deposits (plaques) in the coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.
DEFINITION:- “A narrowing of the coronary arteries that prevents adequate blood supply t the heart muscle is called coronary artery disease. Usually caused
by atherosclerosis, it may progress to the point where the heart muscle is damaged due to lack of blood supply. Such damage may result in infarction,
arrhythmias, and heart failure”.
CAUSES:-
Development of atherosclerosis Open pop-up dialog box
Coronary artery disease is thought to begin with damage or injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery, sometimes as early as childhood. The damage may
be caused by various factors, including:
Smoking
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Diabetes or insulin resistance
Not being active (sedentary lifestyle)
Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, fatty deposits (plaque) made of cholesterol and other cellular waste products tend to collect at the site of injury.
This process is called atherosclerosis. If the plaque surface breaks or ruptures, blood cells called platelets clump together at the site to try to repair the artery.
This clump can block the artery, leading to a heart attack.
RISK FACTORS
Risk factors for coronary artery disease include:
Age. Getting older increases your risk of damaged and narrowed arteries.
Sex. Men are generally at greater risk of coronary artery disease. However, the risk for women increases after menopause.
Family history. A family history of heart disease is associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease, especially if a close relative developed heart
disease at an early age. Your risk is highest if your father or a brother was diagnosed with heart disease before age 55 or if your mother or a sister developed
it before age 65.
Smoking. People who smoke have a significantly increased risk of heart disease. Breathing in secondhand smoke also increases a person's risk of coronary
artery disease.
High blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can result in hardening and thickening of your arteries, narrowing the channel through which
blood can flow.
51. High blood cholesterol levels. High levels of cholesterol in your blood can increase the risk of formation of plaque and atherosclerosis. High cholesterol
can be caused by a high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, known as the "bad" cholesterol. A low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol, known as the "good" cholesterol, can also contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.
Diabetes. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease. Type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease share similar risk factors,
such as obesity and high blood pressure.
Overweight or obesity. Excess weight typically worsens other risk factors.
Physical inactivity. Lack of exercise also is associated with coronary artery disease and some of its risk factors, as well.
High stress. Unrelieved stress in your life may damage your arteries as well as worsen other risk factors for coronary artery disease.
Unhealthy diet. Eating too much food that has high amounts of saturated fat, trans fat, salt and sugar can increase your risk of coronary artery disease.
leep apnea. This disorder causes you to repeatedly stop and start breathing while you're sleeping. Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during
sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system, possibly leading to coronary artery disease.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). This protein appears in higher-than-normal amounts when there's inflammation somewhere in your body.
High hs-CRP levels may be a risk factor for heart disease. It's thought that as coronary arteries narrow, you'll have more hs-CRP in your blood.
High triglycerides. This is a type of fat (lipid) in your blood. High levels may raise the risk of coronary artery disease, especially for women.
Homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid your body uses to make protein and to build and maintain tissue. But high levels of homocysteine may
increase your risk of coronary artery disease.
Preeclampsia. This condition that can develop in women during pregnancy causes high blood pressure and a higher amount of protein in urine. It can
lead to a higher risk of heart disease later in life.
Alcohol use. Heavy alcohol use can lead to heart muscle damage. It can also worsen other risk factors of coronary artery disease.
Autoimmune diseases. People who have conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (and other inflammatory conditions) have an increased risk of
atherosclerosis.
SYMPTOMS
Chest pain (angina). You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest, as if someone were standing on your chest. This pain, called angina, usually occurs
on the middle or left side of the chest. Angina is generally triggered by physical or emotional stress. The pain usually goes away within minutes after stopping
the stressful activity. In some people, especially women, the pain may be brief or sharp and felt in the neck, arm or back.
Shortness of breath. If your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with
activity.
Heart attack. A completely blocked coronary artery will cause a heart attack. The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure
in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm, sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating.
Women are somewhat more likely than men are to have less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack, such as neck or jaw pain. And they may have other
symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and nausea.
52. Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms.
DIAGNOSIS:-
Electrocardiogram (ECG). An electrocardiogram records electrical signals as they travel through your heart. An ECG can often reveal evidence of a
previous heart attack or one that's in progress.
Echocardiogram. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of your heart. During an echocardiogram, your doctor can determine whether
all parts of the heart wall are contributing normally to your heart's pumping activity.
Parts that move weakly may have been damaged during a heart attack or be receiving too little oxygen. This may be a sign of coronary artery disease or other
conditions.
Exercise stress test. If your signs and symptoms occur most often during exercise, your doctor may ask you to walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary
bike during an ECG. Sometimes, an echocardiogram is also done while you do these exercises. This is called a stress echo. In some cases, medication to
stimulate your heart may be used instead of exercise.
Nuclear stress test. This test is similar to an exercise stress test but adds images to the ECG recordings. It measures blood flow to your heart muscle at
rest and during stress. A tracer is injected into your bloodstream, and special cameras can detect areas in your heart that receive less blood flow.
Cardiac catheterization and angiogram. During cardiac catheterization, a doctor gently inserts a catheter into an artery or vein in your groin, neck or
arm and up to your heart. X-rays are used to guide the catheter to the correct position. Sometimes, dye is injected through the catheter. The dye helps blood
vessels show up better on the images and outlines any blockages.
Cardiac CT scan. A CT scan of the heart can help your doctor see calcium deposits in your arteries that can narrow the arteries. If a substantial amount
of calcium is discovered, coronary artery disease may be likely.
TREATMENT:-
Treatment for coronary artery disease usually involves lifestyle changes and, if necessary, drugs and certain medical procedures.
Lifestyle changes
Making a commitment to the following healthy lifestyle changes can go a long way toward promoting healthier arteries:
53. Quit smoking.
Eat healthy foods.
Exercise regularly.
Lose excess weight.
Reduce stress.
Drugs
Various drugs can be used to treat coronary artery disease, including:
Cholesterol-modifying medications. These medications reduce (or modify) the primary material that deposits on the coronary arteries. As a result,
cholesterol levels — especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or the "bad") cholesterol — decrease. Your doctor can choose from a range of medications,
including statins, niacin, fibrates and bile acid sequestrants.
Aspirin. Doctor may recommend taking a daily aspirin or other blood thinner. This can reduce the tendency of your blood to clot, which may help prevent
obstruction of coronary arteries.
Beta blockers. These drugs slow heart rate and decrease blood pressure, which decreases heart's demand for oxygen. Beta blockers reduce the risk of
future attacks.
Calcium channel blockers. These drugs may be used with beta blockers if beta blockers alone aren't effective or instead of beta blockers if not able to
take them. These drugs can help improve symptoms of chest pain.
Ranolazine. This medication may help people with chest pain (angina). It may be prescribed with a beta blocker or instead of a beta blocker if you can't
take it.
Nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin tablets, sprays and patches can control chest pain by temporarily dilating coronary arteries and reducing your heart's demand
for blood.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). These similar drugs decrease blood pressure and
may help prevent progression of coronary artery disease.
54. COMPLICATIONS
Coronary artery disease can lead to:
Chest pain (angina). When Doctor coronary arteries narrow, heart may not receive enough blood when demand is greatest — particularly during physical
activity. This can cause chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath.
Heart attack. If a cholesterol plaque ruptures and a blood clot forms, complete blockage of your heart artery may trigger a heart attack. The lack of blood
flow to heart may damage your heart muscle. The amount of damage depends in part on how quickly you receive treatment.
Heart failure. If some areas of your heart are chronically deprived of oxygen and nutrients because of reduced blood flow, or heart has been damaged by
a heart attack, heart may become too weak to pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. This condition is known as heart failure.
Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Inadequate blood supply to the heart or damage to heart tissue can interfere with your heart's electrical impulses,
causing abnormal heart rhythms.
PREVENTION:-
The same lifestyle habits used to help treat coronary artery disease can also help prevent it. A healthy lifestyle can help keep your arteries strong and clear of
plaque. To improve your heart health, follow these tips:
Quit smoking.
Control conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Stay physically active.
Eat a low-fat, low-salt diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Reduce and manage stress.
CONCLUSION:-
As a part of Medical & Surgical Nursing I came across the patient, Mr. Balram 65yrs old. who came to the hospital with the alleged history of shortness of breath
on exertion for last 4 months. Doctor has seen him and advised hospitalization and advised for lab investigation like complete blood count, hemoglobin, total
blood count etc. I thought that he needs special care. I took his case as my case study patient from 12/01/2023 to 16/01/2023 with the history of occasional
increase BP (irregular mods) presented with above complaints to EST maintain- diagnosed as Coronary Artery Disease with Hypertension and Type2 DM he
was looking so weak and very poor condition. I felt that he needs care and I have taken this case for my case study.
I would like to give thanks to Miss Vandana Dubey MSc Nursing Lecturer institute of nursing research centre surajpur for her guidance and support during my
Surgical Case study.
