      Annotations:

      • Ischemia/lack of O2 to cardiac cells. Ischemia secondary to athsclerosis. When artery is blocked more than 75%. Cardiac cells is only good for 20min damage occurs. Mycardium will become hypoxic in first 10sec. The heart looses ability to contract and uses anaerobic metabolism. Lactic buildsup which causes pain/agina. Referred pain can occur left arm, shoulder/jaw
      1. Chronic Stable

         Annotations:

         • Longterm, intermittent [5-15min], characterized by squeezing, heavy, choking pressure sensation, complaint of indigestion or burning. EKG ST segment depression. Inverted T wave. Indicated of ischemia/lack of Oxygen  ACE inhibitor/Iogenic Blocker/Calcium channel blocker/Nitrates- pill form disolve under tongue or as paste. Nitrates Every 15min. Throw in the Sharps. Severe Headache gets on skin.
