POPULAR CARDIOLOGISTS IN SAHAKARANAGAR Cardiomyopathies and valvular heart disease Regardless of the status of the coronary arterial tree, both primary and secondary heart muscle disease can produce anginal pain through the imbalance of the oxygen demand and supply. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a relatively common cause of angina in the presence of normal coronary arteries. Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular cause of exertional chest tightness, which is probably due to myocardial ischaemia Exertional chest pain, which may be due to right ventricular angina, is a feature of pulmonary hypertension . Syndrome X There is some confusion regarding the ‘metabolic’ and ‘cardiac’ varieties. The former is a combination of insulin resistance, obesity, pro-inflammatory state and so on, leading to raised cardiovascular risk in the sufferers. The latter is, or should be, a form of stable effort angina that can be ascribed to coronary microvascular malfunction.23 The epicardial coronary tree is normal and the diagnosis is rather difficult to make except by exclusion. Acute coronary syndromes The terminology used to describe acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) continues to evolve as clinicians attempt to adjust to the accumulating evidence of the usefulness of modern cardiac markers and the treatment implications of different results. The most recent terminology is designed to help with treatment decisions based on the earliest clinical information from the patient. This comes from the history and the ECG. When the patient’s symptoms suggest an acute coronary syndrome, the first decisions about diagnosis and treatment are based on the ECG. If there is ST elevation present in a pattern to suggest myocardial infarction, the diagnosis is of ‘ST elevation myocardial infarction’ (STEMI). If there is no ST elevation, the initial diagnosis is of ‘non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome’ (NSTEACS).24 This elegant phrase has replaced ‘non-ST elevation myocardial infarction’ (non- STEMI). The reason is that the diagnosis of infarction cannot be made in the absence of ST elevation until cardiac marker estimations are available. The decisions about treatment, however, need to be made immediately and are based on symptoms and ECG changes.

PAPULAR CARDIOLOGISTS IN SAHAKARANAGAR Myocardial infarction and ischaemia Recognition of ischaemic changes has gained in importance from the recent increase in percutaneous coronary interventions. It still retains its established importance in other aspects of the management of acute coronary syndromes. Decisions on the immediate treatment of patients with chest pain are made according to findings on the ECG. This is a cheap test that can be performed quickly at the bedside and interpreted without delay

CARDIOLOGY DOCTORS IN BANNERGHTTA ROAD ST elevation myocardial infarction Modern treatment of myocardial infarction has made a profound difference to the prognosis of this life-threatening condition. Before the introduction of CCUs, the expected in-hospital mortality of this condition was more than 20%. Monitoring and treatment of arrhythmias, and correction of biochemical and, where possible, haemodynamic complications in CCUs reduced this to about 12%. The ‘thrombolytic era’, which began with the publication of the results of the GISSI Trial, 31 has dramatically changed the approach to the management of infarction. The use of thrombolytic drugs (streptokinase in GISSI) reduced mortality to less than 10%, with greater benefit for those treated early.32 The addition of aspirin in later trials reduced mortality to about 7% and many CCUs now achieve mortality rates of 5 or 6%. There is no doubt that early treatment makes the greatest difference, but some benefit may be seen with treatment given up to 12 hours after the onset of symptoms of infarction. In centres where it can be performed primary angioplasty is the reperfusion treatment of choice for myocardial infarction. This is a grade A recommendation—level I evidence.33 Mortality rates below 5% can be achieved. The rationale for reperfusion treatment came with the realisation that infarction was caused by thrombosis within a coronary artery (a mechanism first proposed by Herrick in 191234) and that restoring blood flow before irreversible damage had occurred would be helpful. It has been known for a long time that the prognosis following myocardial infarction depends more than anything else on the amount of left ventricular damage that has occurred. For these reasons the early diagnosis of infarction has become very important. Patients with symptoms suggestive of infarction should have an ECG performed as soon as possible. If nondiagnostic changes are present, the tracing should be repeated frequently so that appropriate early decisions about treatment can be made if changes appear. The current ECG criteria for the use of reperfusion treatment (primary angioplasty
