Cardiovascular Symptomatology Based on Physiopathology نشانه شناسي بيماريهاي قلب و عروق بر اساس فيزيوپاتولژي (رفتارشناسي سيستم قلبي عروقي ) By: Amir F.Z.Parsa, M.D. Director Division of Cardiology Tehran University of Medical Sciences
Questions that we confronted with and must be answered What is symptomatology? What is difference between symptom and sign? What is difference between symptomatology and etiology? What is difference between etiology and pathophysiology? Why should we know cardiac symptomatology? What is presenting symptom? What is chief complain? How can we matched chief complain with the diagnosis? Why should we be logical? What is difference between knowledge and judgment?
Cardiac Cardinal Symptoms • Chest pain or discomfort • Dyspnea • Palpitation • Syncope • Cyanosis & clubbing • Edema
Chest Pain What is pain?
Origin of Chest Pain Supradiaphragmatic organs (intra-thoracic organs) Subdiaphragmatic organs Chest wall & Dorsal lumbar
Mechanism of Cardiac Pain • Biochemical substances • P.substance (Th.Lewis) • Bradykinin, Serotonin, Adensin & et cet…. • Mechanical factors (Wenckebach)
Perception of Chest Pain Specificity theory (simple neural transmission) Gate control theory (Melzac & collegues)
Pathogenesis of Cardiac Pain • Myocardial ischemia • Myocardial injury • Decreased blood supply (infarction) • Inflammation (myocarditis) • Myocardial dilatation
Physiology of Cardiac Circulation & Metabolysm
Factors Influencing Cardiac Oxygen Consumption Heart rate Myocardial contractility Afterload & preload
Etiology of Myocardial Ischemia or Injury • Factors that influence supply (coronary) • Atherosclerotic • Vasculitis • Spasm • Increased resistance (arteriolar) • Factors that influence demand (myocardial) • Heart rate, pre-load and after-load (e.g. tachycardia myocardial hypertrophy; HCM- AS- Hypertension…)
Behavior of Cardiac & Non-Cardiac Chest Pain Onset of pain Duration of pain Quality of pain Locations & distributions of pain Accompanying symptoms
Symptoms of Myocardial Ischemia • Angina pectoris • Location • Duration • Quality • Behavioral manner • Alternatives of angina pectoris
Alternatives of Angina Pectoris Dyspnea or suffocation (chest tightness) Fatigue or exhaustion
Characteristics of Chest Pain • Angina pectoris • Typical • Atypical • Non-anginal chest pain
Clinical Presentation of CHD Stable angina pectoris Unstable angina pectoris Prolonged chest pain
Causes of Prolonged Chest Pain Myocardial infarction Aortic dissection Systemic & pulmonary hypertension Pericardial and/or pleural inflammation Gasterointestinal origin Musculoskeletal & Neural (chest wall) origin
GasterointestinalCauses of Chest Pain Esophageal spasm Esophageal reflux Peptic ulcer & gastritis Cholecystitis Pancreatitis Splenic flexure syndrome Cafe coronary
Musculoskeletal Causes of Chest Pain Costocondritis and/or myositis(tietze’s syndrome) Herpes zoster Scalenusanticus Radicular pain (radiculopathy) Shoulders osteoarthropathy
Dyspnea What is dyspnea?
Dyspnea Unpleasant awareness of breathing and respiratory distress , disproportionate to the degree of activity
Dyspnea Exhilarating Unpleasant Breathlessness
Respiratory Dysfunction Increased airway resistance Decreased lung compliance Respiratory muscle weakness
Ventilatory Drives Intrapulmonary receptors stimuli (congestion or inflammation) Abnormal blood gases (Hypercapnea-hypoxia) Central nervous system stimuli (Anxiety)
Mechanism of Dyspnea Respiratory muscle tension-length misalignment Increased respiratory center activity (Tachypnea)
Pathogenesis of Dyspnea Pulmonary congestion Increased pulmonary arterial pressure Abnormal blood gases
Clinical Presentation of Cardiac Dyspnea Exertionaldyspnea (fatique) Orthopnea Paroxismalnucturnaldyspnea (PND) Acute pulmonary edema (cardiac asthma)
Differential Diagnosis of Dyspnea Lung diseases (acute & chronic) Pulmonary hypertension & emboli Massive pleural effusion Overweight or pregnancy Hyperventilation & acidosis
Palpitation What is palpitation?
