Hayes MD, FACC Director, Women s Heart Clinic Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN CP CP Goals of Medical Treatments for Heart Disease Make you feel better Make you live longer Medical Management of Angina / Chest Pain Treatment Aims Preferably both!! Drug & Surgical Therapies Can Improve Clinical Outcome by As Much As 50%-80%. Relieve Symptoms Prevent Heart Attacks Medical Management of Angina Relieve Symptoms Medications Percutaneous Interventions Angioplasty Stents, etc Bypass Surgery EECP Prevent Heart Attacks Antiplatelets Statins ACE inhibitors Beta blockers Risk factor modification Bypass Surgery Myocardial Oxygen Supply and Demand Increase Blood Flow = Limit O2 Use 1

Slows the heartbeat. Decreases blood pressure. 2

4 Anti-Platelet Drugs Aspirin, Plavix - Lowers heart attack risk by thinning blood and reducing risk of clots CP I m catering to the age-35-andup market. Statins: Reduce production of cholesterol Improve endothelial function Reduces heart attack and death CP What is Congestive Heart Failure? A bad name for a treatable condition Not always congestive Associated with poor pumping function of the heart Is NOT a heart attack Does NOT mean your heart has stopped What is Heart Failure? Weak heart muscle Enlarged heart Stiff heart Leads to fluid back upshortness of breath (fluid in the lungs) edema (swelling) ascites (fluid accumulation abdomen) 4

Newer pacemakers also can monitor your blood temperature, breathing, and other factors and adjust your heart rate to changes in your activity. Pacemakers & Defibrillators A pacemaker system consists of a battery, a computerized generator and wires with sensors called electrodes on one end. The battery powers the generator, and both are surrounded
