1 Clinical Case Management of ACS Based on ACC/AHA & ESC Guidelines Dr Badri Paudel Mr M 75M Poorly controlled diabetic Smoker Presented on Sat 7pm Intense burning in the retrosternal area Clinical Case Admission Working diagnosis Chest Pain Suspicion of Acute Coronary Syndrome Mr M 75M Poorly controlled diabetic Smoker Presented on Sat 7pm Intense burning in the retrosternal area 96bpm 110/70 Clear chest No S 3 or murmur ECG Biochemistry Risk Stratification Diagnosis Persistent ST ST or T Normal ECG Trop +ve Trop -ve High Risk Low Risk N USA Treatment Reperfusion Invasive Non-invasive ESC guidelines 2007 UA/N: Definition ST or prominent T on ECG and/or Positive biomarkers in absence of ST elevation in an appropriate clinical setting 1

2 Trends in ACS Mortality trends N 10.8 Incidence (per 100,000) Q Wave Non-Q Wave In-hospital year Furman JACC 2001 Source: ESC guidelines Implications of Statistics Principal Presentations NSTE-ACS commoner than ACS patients tend to be Older More diabetes More renal failure Other co-morbidities Overall, similar 1-yr mortality 1. Rest angina 2. New-onset angina 3. Increasing angina Pre-hospital Management Aspirin Pre-hospital Management Sublingual Nitrate Chest pain pts to have mg aspirin as early as possible No response Call Ambulance And reach ER Chewable/soluble aspirin preferred over enteric coated Single dose NTG Partial relief (only for CSA pts) Two more doses, But reach ER if Any pain persists 2

6 Quick Re-Cap NSTE-ACS as important as Risk stratification aims at CAD diagnosis & estimating risks to help Rx decisions Newer Markers are emerging, but risk scores are currently the best way to predict outcomes Hospital Management History, examination, ECG & initial biomarkers should help classify chest pain patients into: Possible ACS Definite ACS Chronic stable angina Non cardiac diagnosis Hospital Management Possible ACS Normal ECG Observe, serial ECGs, Serial enzymes If negative, discharge after stress test* Abnormal ECG (or follow-up ECGs/enzymes turn positive) Treat as definite ACS Hospital Management Definite ACS Admit to CCU or step-down unit Continuous ECG ± SpO 2 monitoring Supplemental oxygen to pts with low SpO 2, respiratory distress, basal creps * Or schedule stress test on OP basis Anti-ischemic Therapy Rest / Oxygen Nitrates (sublingual/oral/topical, IV for ongoing pain) Morphine IV (pain, CHF) β-blocker (oral, IV for ongoing pain) Non-dihydropyridine Ca 2+ blocker (verapamil /diltiazem) ACE Inhibitors Anti-Ischemic Therapy Contraindications for nitrates Nitrates contraindicated in: SBP < 90mmHg or 30mmHg below baseline Severe bradycardia (< 50 bpm) Tachycardia (>100 bpm) RVMI Pts with ED who took sildenafil in last 24h or tadalafil in last 48h 6

7 Anti-Ischemic Therapy Beta-blockers Anti-Ischemic Therapy Calcium channel blockers Start β-blocker within first 24h for patients who do not have: signs of HF low-output state high risk for cardiogenic shock AV block, asthma Verapamil or diltiazem: initial therapy if LV function is normal & if β# cannot be given Immediate-release dihydropyridine Ca- antagonists not to be used unless combined with a β-blocker Anti-Ischemic Therapy ACEI/ARB Anti-coagulants ACEI for pulmonary congestion or LVEF 40% Contraindicated if hypotension (SBP <100 mmhg or <30 mmhg below baseline) or other known contraindications ARB may be used in pts intolerant of ACEI UFH Enoxaparin Fonduparinux LD: 60 U/ kg (max 4000 U) Infusion: 12 U/kg/ h (max 1000 U/ h) Maintain aptt times control LD: 30 mg IV bolus MD: 1 mg/ kg SC q12h 2.5 mg SC once daily Platelet GP IIb/IIIa Receptor Antagonists Clinical case 1.

Most consider CABG to be preferable to PCI. Anderson JL, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;50:e1 e157, Figure 20. Clopidogrel 75 mg/d β-blockers if no contraindications Lipid-lowering agents & diet ACEI if CHF, LVEF<0.40, HT or diabetes Long-Term Antithrombotic Therapy at Hospital Discharge after UA/N Medical Therapy without Stent UA/N Patient Groups at Discharge Bare Metal Stent Group Drug Eluting Stent Group Special Subsets Diabetes Mellitus Aggressive Rx approach just like nondiabetics ASA 75 to 162 mg/d indefinitely & Clopidogrel 75 mg/d at least 1 month & up to 1 year ASA 162 to 325 mg/d for 1 month, then 75 to 162 mg/d indefinitely & Clopidogrel 75 mg/d for at least 1 month and up to 1 year ASA 162 to 325 mg/d for 3-6 months, then 75 to 162 mg/d indefinitely & Clopidogrel 75 mg/d for at least 1 year Focus on good glycemic control Yes Indication for Anticoagulation? No Prefer CABG if multivessel disease suitable for both Rx modes Add: Warfarin (INR 2.0 to 2.5) Continue with dual antiplatelet therapy as above Anderson JL, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;50:e1 e157, Figure 11. INR = international normalized ratio; LOE = level of evidence. Special Subsets Older Patients Management intent similar to the young Include functional status & comorbidities in decision making Dosage adjustments Special Subsets Women No difference in medical Rx Recommendations for invasive strategy: similar to those of men In women with low-risk features: conservative strategy similar to men 10
