events that take place in typical MI
1. Coagulation activation
2. Platelet activation
  1. thromboxane A2 releasing and ADP
  2. Serotonin releasing
3. thrombin evolve to CAL
4. -atheromatous plaque disruption
  1. subendothelial collagen and necrotic hemorrhage
Myocardial response to ischemia
1. Vascular Obstruction
  1. Aerobic glycolysis ceases
    1. Drop of ATP
      1. potentially noxious metabolites Accumulation in cardiac myocytes
        Rapid loss of contractility
2. Ultrasound changes ( rapidly apparent)
3. Severe ischemia (20-40) minutes leads to myocyte death

2. impaired maintenance and repair
3. Elderly age = 65
Physiological changes during Elderly
1. Cardiovascular system

3. Sensory system
  1. Loss of eye accommodation
    1. Presbyopia
4. Respiratory system
  1. Loss of muscle mass and weakening or respiratory muscle
    1. pulmonary diseases
5. Urinary system
  1. Renal mass decreasing
    1. Tubular atrophy
6. Musculoskeletal Changes
  1. Loss of skeletal muscle mass
    1. Osteoarthritis
7. Endocrine system
  1. Decreased ability to hormone response
8. Integumentary system
  1. Impairment of barrier function
9. some reproductive system diseases : Erctile dysfunction - vaginal yeast infection
Qatar Demographics regarding age

Pharmacological changes in Elderly
1. Age Effect of basic Pharmacokinetics
  1. Administration
  2. Absorption
  3. Distribution
  4. Metabolism Phases: I-II
  5. Elimination
Compliance with medication and Elderly
1. Hardships to comply to the medication because of :
  1. Lack of knowledge
  2. not knowing how to take medication
  3. Scared of the side effects
2. Compliance Improvement
  1. disease and treatment education
  2. drug routine simplification
  3. involving the families in disease management
Metabolism during fasting
1. Energy Reserves
  1. Liver and muscle glycogen
  2. Muscle protein
  3. Liver releasing of glucose
  4. Adipose TGs
2. Mechanism of Protein Conservation

  2. agina
  3. stroke
  4. Dizziness
2. Upright posture assumption
  1. pooling of 500 -1000 ml of blood in lower extremities and splenic circulation which cause:
    1. diminished cardiac output and BP
    2. sympathetic outflow raises:
      1. peripheral vascular resistance
      2. cardiac output
      3. venous return
    3. rapid decreasing in venous return to the heart
Healthy life style
