pathophysiology
diagnostic studies
1. physical exam
2. chest X-Ray
  1. normal
3. 12-lead ECG
  1. done at rest or when the pt is pain free
  2. ST depression or T wave inversion
  3. dysrhythmias and heart block may be present
  4. significant Q waves = prior MI
4. laboratory studies
  1. serum lipids elevated
  2. cardio enzymes normal/elevation indicates myocardial damage (CKMB, troponin)
5. exercise stress test
  1. positive
6. echocardiography
  1. possible abnormal valvular action
7. nuclear tests
  1. ischemic regions
  2. evaluation of wall motion and ejection fraction
8. coronary angiography
  1. definitive test
  2. artery involvement
collaborative care of stable angina
1. drug therapy/pt education
  1. A. antipletelet agent (aspirin); abtianginal agent (nitro spray); ACEIs (captopril)
  2. B. B adrenergic blockers (bisoprolol.nutropolol)
  3. C. cigarette smoking cessation; cholesterol control (statin therapy - Rosuvastatin/atorvastatin
  4. D. diet, DM control
  5. E. education; exercise
  6. F. flue vaccination
2. procedures
  1. PCI
  2. CABG
nursing management
1. Assessment
