Criteria for acute myocardial infarction

Criteria for prior myocardial infarction

Types

Pain Differentiation

Pain Scores

HEART score

ECG Diagnosis

Normal

Ischemia—Tall T Wave or inverted (infarction),ST segment depressed (angina)

Damage— elevated ST segment, T wave inverted.

Infraction (Acute)—Pathologic Q wave,elevated ST segment and T wave inverted.

Infarction (previous)—Pathologic Q wave,ST-T can be normal.

ECG Diagnosis

J Point

In 2 contiguous leads must have:≥ 0,25 mV in males <40 years old.≥ 0,2 mV in males >40 years old.≥ 0,15 mV females in leads V2-V3≥ 0,1 mV other leads (in absence of left ventricular hypertrophy or LBBB)

ECG Diagnosis

Ischemia Q

Ischemia Q wave must have:More of 0,04sec of duration.More of 25% or R wave of amplitude.

UNSTEMI’s Management

Relieve angina using Nitrates.Patients using BB must continues using it if not Killip class >IIIUse BB in pateints with EF preserved.Calcium channel blockers are indicated in patients with nitrates and BB to relief symptoms.Use double antiplatelet theraphy:

• If primary PCI: Aspirin 150mg + Clopidogrel 600mg + un-fractioned Heparin 70U/Kg EV + Atorvastatin 80mg.

• To fibrinolysis: Aspirin 150mg + Clopidogrel 300mg + un-fractioned Heparin 60U/kg EV + Atorvastatin 80mg.

Preferment AtPlase: 0,75mg/kg in 30min then 0,5mg in 1hr EV.If not: streptokinase: 1500.000U EV in 1hr.

What to do?

Criteria for high risk with indication for invasive management

A, indicates appropriate; CTO, chronic total occlusion; I, inappropriate; Int., intervention; Med., medical; Prox. LAD, proximal left anterior descending artery; Rx, treatment; U, uncertain; and vz., vessel

What to do?

STEMI’s Management

Star the chronometer.Calm pain: consider Opioids.Reduce anxiety: consider Tranquilizer in very anxious patients.Use oxygen in patients with SaO2<95%, breathlessness or with acute heart failure.Use double antiplatelet theraphy:

• If primary PCI: Aspirin 150mg + Clopidogrel 600mg + un-fractioned Heparin 70U/Kg EV + Atorvastatin 80mg.

• To fibrinolysis: Aspirin 150mg + Clopidogrel 300mg + un-fractioned Heparin 60U/kg EV + Atorvastatin 80mg.

Preferment AtPlase: 0,75mg/kg in 30min then 0,5mg in 1hr EV.If not: streptokinase: 1500.000U EV in 1hr.

Don’t forget the chronometer!!!
