(Erosion/ulceration, Hemorrhage into the atheroma, Rupture/fissuring, Thrombosis)

Role of InflammationT cell, Macrophages (MMPs), CRP

Role of Coronary ThrombusThe most dreaded complication

Angina PectorisChest discomfort = prolonged, recurrent, different qualities

Cause = transient myocardial ischemia( seconds to minutes)

PatternsStable = 75% vessel block, transient ( <15 minutes),

aggravated by exertion, relived by rest & Nitroglycerin (VD)

Prinzmetal = coronary spasm, episodic, Typical EKG change – ST elevation, Relived by VD but not rest

Unstable = 90% vessel block or Acute plaque change ( superimposed thrombus), prolonged ( >15 min.), not relived by rest, VD, Pre-infarction Angina

MI Pathogenesis

Coronary vessel occlusionAtherosclerosis with thrombus = MC cause ( 90% cases)Others = vasospasm (10%)

Most important mechanism = dynamic changes in the plaque (rather than plaque size),

Plaque disruption PLTS aggregation thrombus and VC (happens in minutes)

Irreversible changes = after 30 minutes of ischemia ATP < 10% of normal

Mechanism of cell death = necrosis ( Coagulative)

Intrinsic Extrinsic =

Thrombolytic drugs = < 1hr. After onset of MIPTCA/CABG = > 1hr. After onset of MI

Target = clot lysis and restoration of blood flow

Post- reperfusion changes = Contraction bands = hyper contracting myocytes, Stunned myocardium = transient, protective dysfunction Reperfusion damage = mostly apoptosis by free radicals

wall infarct – worst, posterior –worse, Inferior wall – best 1. Arrhythmia = Ventr. Fibrillation – MC arrhythmia lead to

sudden death in MI patients, before they reach hospital 2. pump failure – LVF, cariogenic shock, if >LV wall infarcts,

lead to death ( 70% of hospitalized MI patients) 3.Ventricular rupture = Free or lateral LV wall – MC site,

later cause false aneurysm, 4.True aneurysm = rupture is very rare 5.Pericarditis = Dressler’s syndrome ( Late MI complication) 6.Recurrence

Sudden cardiac death = unexpected death in one hour due to cardiac causes with or without clinical symptoms

Cause – Atherosclerosis ( 90%), others (10%)Romano- Ward syndrome – Long Q-T syndrome

( K+, Na+ channel defects) Mechanism- Most likely due to arrhythmias ( VF) Patients – young athletes, with Pul. HTN, IHD Morphology

Prominent finding – increased heart massVacuolations in Sub – endocardial myocardium
