About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Acute Coronary Syndrome".

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a term used to describe a range of conditions that result from a sudden reduction in blood flow to the heart. ACS is a medical emergency and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications such as heart attack and death.

The most common cause of ACS is the rupture of a plaque in a coronary artery, which leads to the formation of a blood clot that partially or completely blocks blood flow to the heart muscle. This can result in chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.

The three types of ACS include Unstable angina, Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

The treatment of ACS depends on the type and severity of the condition, but generally includes medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and antiplatelet drugs, as well as procedures such as angioplasty and stenting or coronary artery bypass surgery. Prompt treatment can help reduce the risk of complications and improve outcomes for people with ACS.

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Definition of ACS Signs and symptoms of ACS Gender and age related difference in ACS Pathophysiology of ACS Treatment of ACS Protocol “For the Patient Experiencing Chest Pain”
Slide 3-

Worldwide Statistics Each year: > 4 million patients are admitted with unstable angina and acute MI > 900,000 patients undergo PTCA with or without stent From 1 to 4 percent of patients ultimately proven to have acute coronary syndrome are sent home from the emergency department. Only about 2 percent of patients with cocaine-associated chest pain have acute coronary syndrome.

What is Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) ? Umbrella term used to cover a group of clinical symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia Stable Angina (chest pain with activity) Unstable Angina (Chest pain with activity or rest) Myocardial Infarction with positive EKG (ST elevation MI – STEMI) Myocardial Infarction with normal EKG (Non-ST segment elevation MI – non-STEMI)

What happens during ACS? Atherosclerotic plaque ruptures and precipitates thrombus formation

Acute Coronary Syndrome
Slide 8-

Risk Factors for ACS History of CAD Family history of CAD High blood pressure Age: Men > 33 yrs old Women > 40 yrs old Blood vessel disease Diabetes Smoking Overweight High Cholesterol Menopausal No exercise
Slide 9-

Symptoms of ACS Chest pain or chest discomfort Indigestion Fainting Nausea and vomiting Pain in arms, shoulders, neck, back or jaw Pain in abdomen Shortness of breath Sweating Weakness
Slide 10-

Gender Differences in ACS Women verses Men Women are usually older and with more co-morbidities, such diabetes and hypertension when ACS occurs Women may have atypical chest pain Women have more shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea, back and neck discomfort than men
Slide 11-

Gender Differences (con’t) Women seek medical care later than men Women seem to be evaluated less intensively than men Stress testing is less specific in women than men, with higher false positives in women
Slide 12-

Diabetes and ACS Patients are older, more often women Patients are at increased risk for heart / renal failure, cardiogenic shock and death Pain perception may be altered due to neuropathy

Treatment of ACS
Slide 14-

Medical Management of ACS
Slide 15-

What if your patient has Chest Pain?Inpatient Stay at the patient’s bedside and summons help Assess patient and vital signs Implement the protocol, “For the Patient Experiencing Chest Pain”
Slide 16-

For The Patient Experiencing Chest Pain [CHESTPAIN] Protocol Notify Rapid Response team by calling 8263. STAT EKG, CK Total, CKMB, Troponin1. Saline lock if no IV access. After EKG obtained, NTG 0.4 mg SL q5 minutes up to 3 tabs prn for chest pain. Hold if systolic B/P <100. Nasal O2 at 2LPM, titrate to keep O2 saturation 90% or greater. Notify physician of current assessment, vital signs and above actions taken. Have patient chart, current medication list and labs available when calling physician. Nurse should not delay calling the attending physician because of waiting on lab results.
