    Deflection Waves of ECG

    1. P wave - initial wave, demonstrates the depolarization from SA

    Node through both ATRIA; the ATRIA contract about 0.1 s after

    start of P Wave.

    2. QRS complex - next series of deflections, demonstrates the

    depolarization of AV node through both ventricles; the ventriclescontract throughout the period of the QRS complex, with a short

    delay after the end of atrial contraction; repolarization of atria also

    obscured

    3. T Wave - repolarization of the ventricles (0.16 s)

    4. PR (PQ) Interval - time period from beginning of atrialcontraction to beginning of ventricular contraction (0.16 s)

    5. QT Interval - the time of ventricular contraction (about 0.36 s);

    from beginning of ventricular depolarization to end of

    repolarization.

    Percutaneous

    Transluminal Coronary

    Angioplasty

    Mechanical dilation of

    the coronary vessel

    wall by compresing the

    atheromatous plaque. It is recommended for

    clients with single-

    vessel coronary artery

    disease.

    Prosthetic

    intravascular cylindricstent maintain good

    luminal geometry after

    ballon deflation and

    withdrawal. Intravascular stenting

    is done to prevent

    Objectives of CABG

    1. Revascularize

    myocardium2. To prevent angina

    3. Increase survival rate

    4. Done to single occludedvessels

    5. If there is 2 or more

    occluded blood vessels

    CABG is done

    Nursing Management:

    Nitroglycerine is the

    drug of choice for reliefof pain from acute

    ischemic attacks

    Instruct to avoid over

    fatigue

    Plan regular activity

    program

    For Saphenous Vein Site:

    Wear support stocking

    4-6 week postop Apply pressure

    dressing or sand bag

    on the site

    Keep leg elevated

    when sitting

    3 Complications of CABG

    1. Pneumonia: encourage

    to perform deepbreathing,

    coughing exercise and use

    of incentive spirometer

    2. Shock

    3. Thrombophlebitis

    ANGINA PECTORIS

    DEFINITION:

    Transient paroxysmal chest painproduced by insufficient bloodflow to the myocardiumresulting to myocardial

    ischemia. Clinical syndrome characterized

    by paroxysmal chest pain that isusually relieved by rest ornitroglycerine due to temporarymyocardial ischemia

    Types of Angina Pectoris

    Stable Angina: pain less than 15minutes, recurrence is lessfrequent.

    Unstable Angina : pain is morethan 15 mins.,but not less than30 minutes, recurrence is morefrequent and the intensity ofpain increases.

    Variant Angina ( PrinzmetalsAngina ): Chest pain is on longer

    duration and may occur at rest.Result from coronaryvasospasm.

    Angina Decubitus: paroxysmalchest pain that occur when theclient sits or stand.

    23/67

    NTG Tablets(sublingual)

    Keep the drug in a dry place,avoid moisture and exposure to

    Change stock every 6 months

    Offer sips of water before givingsublingual nitrates, dryness ofmouth may inhibit drug

    absoprtion Relax for 15 minutes after taking

    a tablet: to prevent dizziness

    Monitor side effects: orthostatichypotension, flushed face.Transient headache & dizziness:

    frequent side effect Instruct the client to rise slowly

    from sitting position

    Assist or supervise inambulation

    NTG Nitrol or Transdermal patch

    Nitropatch is applied once a day,usually in the morning.

    Avoid placing near hairy areas asit may decrease drug absorption

    Avoid rotating transdermalpatches as it may decrease drugabsorption

    Avoid placing near microwaveovens or during defibrillation asit may lead to burns (mostimportant thing to remember)

    CARDIAC TAMPONADE

    Also known as pericardialtamponade, is an emergencycondition in which fluidaccumulates in the pericardium.

    (the sac in which the heart is

    enclosed). If the fluid significantly elevates

    the pressure on the heart it willprevent the heart's ventriclesfrom filling properly.

    This in turn leads to a low stroke

    volume. The end result is ineffective

    pumping of blood, shock, andoften death.

    Secondary HPN, due to

    known causes ( Renalfailure, Hypertension )

    MalignantHypertension, is severe,

    rapidly progressiveelevation in BP thatcauses rapid onset of endorgan complication

    Resistant HPN, doesnot respond to usualtreatment

    Drug therapy

    Stepped Care

    Progressive addition of

    drugs to a regimen,starting with one, usuallya diuretic, and adding, ina stepwise fashion, asympatholytic,

    vasodilator, andsometimes an ACEinhibitor.

    Monotherapy

    Advantageous because

    of its simplicity, betterpatient compliance, andrelatively low incidenceof toxicity.

    Advise the client againstabrupt withdrawal of

    medication, rebound

    hypertension may occur. Device ways to facilitate
