Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Definitions - Stable Angina, Unstable Angina, NSTEMI, STEMI 1 STABLE ANGINA - Angina pain develops when there is increased demand in the setting of a stable atherosclerotic plaque. The vessel is unable to dilate enough to allow adequate blood flow to meet the myocardial 2 UNSTABLE ANGINA - The plaque ruptures and a thrombus forms around the ruptured plaque, causing partial occlusion of the vessel. Angina pain occurs at rest or progresses rapidly over a short period of time. 3 NSTEMI - During an NSTEMI, the plaque rupture and thrombus formation causes partial occlusion to the vessel that results in injury and infarct to the subendocardial myocardium. 4 STEMI - A STEMI is characterized by complete occlusion the blood vessel lumen, resulting in transmural injury and infarct to the myocardium, which is reflected by ECG changes and a rise in troponins. #Diagnosis #Cardiology #ACS #Unstable #Angina #NSTEMI #Definitions ** GrepMed Recommended Text: The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need - https://amzn.to/2Z0uM1Y

Instructions on how to perform the swinging light test to detect a relative afferent pupillary defect. http://www.cmaj.ca/content/early/2015/01/05/cmaj.140685 Normal swinging light test Left relative afferent pupillary defect* (RAPD) 1. Begin with dark room, bright pen light and patient fixated at distant object (to avoid a near pupil response). 2. Shine light into right (R) eye. Both pupils should constrict. 3. Swing light to left (L) eye. Both pupils remain constricted. 4. Swing light back to right eye. Both pupils remain constricted. Left relative afferent pupillary defect* (RAPD) 1. Begin with dark room, bright pen light and patient xated at distant object. 2. Shine light into right (R) eye. Both pupils should constrict. 3. Swing light to left (L) affected eye. Instead of pupil constriction, both pupils will dilate. 4. Swing light back to right (normal) eye. Both pupils constrict.
