Acute Coronary
Syndrome

Bogus Chest Pain to

STEMI and Beyond….
Mr. Dr. Jodi Wieters
2
The Problem….
•CV disease still #1 killer in USA 	
  
•5-6 million CP pts/yr 	
  
• 2nd most common “cc”	
  
• 1.1 million dx’d with AMI annually 	
  
• 550,000 dx’d in the ED
3
The Problem…
•434,877 patients with confirmed MI	
  
• 33% without Chest Pain	
  
•Cantos JG. JAMA. 2000;283:3223-3229.

Mortality
20%
Missed?
20% of malpractice awards 	
  
Most dollars paid in malpractice in EM
The EKG
13
Normal EKG
•1-8% AMI have a normal ECG	
  
•Approx 50% of AMI patients have diagnostic
changes on their initial ECG

There is no combination of historical and physical exam
characteristics which can, by themselves, exclude ACS.

segments; convex (rounded) elevation is a fairly specific for STEMI.

•I think it’s a STEMI… Now What?
•Oxygen	
  
•Nitrates	
  
•ASA	
  
•Beta blockers	
  
•2 options	
  
•Thrombolytics	
  
•PCI	
  
•Heparin/Lovenox?	
  
•Plavix/Effiant?	
  
•Iib/IIIa or Bivalirudin?
42
•325mg	
  
•Reduces mortality by 23%	
  
•Greatest mortality benefit of all
treatments.
43
•Decrease cardiac work and myocardial O2 requirements	
  
•Use Cautiously in MI’s involving the Right ventricle	
  
•Side effects:
• Headaches
• Hypotension
• Hypoxemia from V/Q mismatch
• Bradycardia
44
•ACC/AHA Guidelines	
  
•Start PO (not IV) BB in pts with STEMI or NSTEMI within 24 hrs provided the
patient has none of the following:	
  
• 1) Heart failure	
  
• 2) Evidence of low EF	
  
• 3) Increased risk of Cardiac Shock	
  
• 4) Standard relative contraindications to BB
45
•COMMIT/CCS-2	
  
•Increase rate of cardiogenic shock,	
  
•No improved mortality	
  
•Did decrease re-infarction and VF
•Reduced mortality when used with Fibrinolytic therapy, heparin, and
aspirin in acute MI	
  
•CLARITY-TIMI 28 and COMMIT trail show improved 30 day
outcomes when clopidogrel is added to standard therapy	
  
•Pt’s with aspirin allergy show receive 600mg loading dose of
clopidogrel as soon as possible in setting of acute MI	
  
•Triton-TIMI 38: Prasugrel (Effiant) compares more favorably to
clopidogrel (Plavix) may see increase use	
  
•Esp. diabetic pts
46
•Anticoagulants	
•Lovenox	
  
•Less reversible	
  
•Less monitoring	
  
•IV and SQ dosing	
  
•Debate about benefit over heparin
47
•Anticoagulants	
•Heparin	
  
•IV dosing, reversible 	
  
•Modest reduction in mortality in USA/STEMI	
  
•Monitoring intensive
47
•Thrombolytics
•Indications	
  
•ST elevation 1 mm in 2 contiguous limb leads	
  
•ST elevation 2 mm in 2 contiguous chest leads	
  
•New left bundle branch block	
  
•Chest pain consistent with AMI < 12 hours duration	
  
•No contraindications to thrombolysis or anticoagulation	
  
•Guided by regional protocols.
50
•Might not when….
• Absolute
Contraindications	
  
• Hx of any hemorrhagic cerebrovascular
event	
  
• Hx of non-hemorrhagic cerebrovascular
event or TIA in last year	
  
• Intracranial neoplasm	
  
• Active internal bleeding except menses	
  
• Suspected aortic dissection
❿ Relative
Contraindications	
  
❿ Recent 9within 10 days) puncture of non-
compressible vessel	
  
❿ Uncontrolled hypertension DBP>110,
SBP> 180	
  
❿ Diabetic retinopathy or ocular hemorrhage	
  
❿ Anticoagulated with INR>2-3	
  
❿ Pregnancy	
  
❿ Predisposition to bleeding	
  
❿ > 5min of CPR or intubation trauma	
  
❿ Within 4 weeks of surgery at non-
compressible site
51
•Timing is everything…
•ACC, AHA, ESC recommend PCI as the preferred method of
reperfusion if the door to balloon time is <90 minutes (evidence
showing that 120 minutes shows favor of PCI vs Fibrinolysis)	
  
•Door to balloon time of 90 minutes
52
•PCI
•Cardiac cath plus procedure to restore patency	
  
•Angioplasty	
  
•Stents	
  
•Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors 	
  
•Bivalirudin	
  
•Improved survival rates over thrombolytics	
  
•Only available 18% US hospitals
53
•Strategies for reducing 

door-to-balloon time
•1. EM physicians activate Cath Lab	
  
•2. Central Pager for all personel	
  
•3. Activate Cath Lab when pt is still in route	
  
•4. Except Cath Lab staff to arrive within 20 mins	
  
•5. Attending Cardiologist always on site	
  
•6. Feedback Data
54
•Complications
•Cardiogenic Shock	
  
•CHF	
  
•Acute Mitral Regurgitation	
  
•Ventricular septal rupture	
  
•Myocardial rupture	
  
•Pericarditis	
  
•Seizure, Coma, Death

  • 62. •ACC/AHA Guidelines   •Start PO (not IV) BB in pts with STEMI or NSTEMI within 24 hrs provided the patient has none of the following:   • 1) Heart failure   • 2) Evidence of low EF   • 3) Increased risk of Cardiac Shock   • 4) Standard relative contraindications to BB 45 •COMMIT/CCS-2   •Increase rate of cardiogenic shock,   •No improved mortality   •Did decrease re-infarction and VF
  • 63. •Reduced mortality when used with Fibrinolytic therapy, heparin, and aspirin in acute MI   •CLARITY-TIMI 28 and COMMIT trail show improved 30 day outcomes when clopidogrel is added to standard therapy   •Pt’s with aspirin allergy show receive 600mg loading dose of clopidogrel as soon as possible in setting of acute MI   •Triton-TIMI 38: Prasugrel (Effiant) compares more favorably to clopidogrel (Plavix) may see increase use   •Esp. diabetic pts 46
