Hospital, admission + A-E resuscitation 2. Oxygen if saturations < 94% 3. 300mg PO aspirin 4. GTN spray 5. IV morphine + anti-emetic 6. Anti-thrombin treatment – fondaparinux or LMWH (unless immediate PCIor very high bleeding risk) 7. Second anti-platelet loading ifhigh risk 8. Coronary angiography + PCI within 72 if high riskAcute management -STEMI 1. Hospital, admission + A-E resscitation 2. Oxygen if saturations < 94% 3. 300mg PO aspirin 4. Loading with second anti-platelet 5. GTN spray 6. IV morphine + anti-emetic 7. Treatment: • Coronary angiography + PCI (<12hrs onset of pain + <2hrof presentation • Thrombolysis (if PCI is unavailable, streptokinase + fondaparinux, must be ICU)Long term management Cardiac rehabilitation • Physicalactivity • Lifestyleadvice • Stressmanagement • Healtheducation Secondary prevention • ACEi • Dualantiplatelettherapy • Beta-blocker • High dose statin • SpironolactoneComplications of myocardial infarction Complication type Manifestation Ischaemic - Angina - Re-infarction - Infract extension Mechanical - Heart failure –acute orchronic - Mitral valve dysfunction (papillary muscle rupture/infarct) -Cardiac rupture (ventricle free wall -Arrhythmia Arrhythmia -Heart block common in inferior MI as RCAsupplies SA node Embolic -Thromboembolism due to mural thrombus formation Inflammatory -Dressler’s syndrome (pericarditis)Case based discussion A 65-year-old gentleman presents to A&E with central chest pain which he describes as someone sitting on his chest. The pain started 30 minutes ago and is spreading up his left jaw. He has vomited twice since the pain started and is feeling sweaty. He has never had this pain before. He is a smoker with a 40 year pack history. He is a type 2 diabetic on diet control, with a BMI of 32. He does not take any regular medication. No significant family history. On arrival at A&E his observations are: HR 120, BP 110/80, saturations 92%, temperature 37.2, RR 18Case based discussion What is the next most appropriate step? 1. ECG 2. Start oxygen 3. Put out an arrest call 4. Give 300mg aspirin 5. Check his blood sugarCase based discussion What is the next most appropriate step? 1. ECG 2. Start oxygen 3. Put out an arrest call 4. Give 300mg aspirin 5. Check his blood sugarThis is his ECGWhat is the next most appropriate next step? 1. GTN spray 2. Loading dose of 300mg aspirin and 180mg ticagrelol 3. IV fluids 4. Fondaparinuxand transfer to ICU for thrombolysis 5. TroponinWhat is the next most appropriate next step? 1. GTN spray 2. Loading dose of 300mg aspirin and 180mg ticagrelol 3. IV fluids 4. Fondaparinuxand transfer to ICU for thrombolysis 5. TroponinCase based discussion The patient is admitted to the hospital and treated with PCI. Before discharge, the FY1 is asked to review the patient’s lifestyle and identify modifiable factors which increase the risk of a future cardiac event. Select all that apply: 1. Male 2. Smoking 3. History of paternal MI at 80 4. T2DM 5. ObesityCase based discussion The patient is admitted to the hospital and treated with PCI.

History of paternal MI at 80 4. T2DM 5. ObesityCase based discussion After his PCI the patient is asking how long he needs to take blood thinners for? Select the correct answer: 1. He can stop on discharge 2. He needs both lifelong 3. He must continue both for 1 year and then take aspirin lifelong 4. On discharge he only needs to take the aspirin 5. He can stop 6 weeks after PCICase based discussion After his PCI the patient is asking how long he needs to take blood thinners for? Select the correct answer: 1. He can stop on discharge 2.
