1 Chronic Stable Angina Diagnosis and Assessment Dr Magdy Rashwan Professor of Cardiology University of Alexandria Egypt
2 Stable Angina Diagnostic Approach Clinical presentation Clinical chemistry ElectroCardioGraphy None invasive Imaging Invasive investigations CDT 2010
3 Stable Angina The Clinical Presentation
4 Heberden s angina Some account of a disorder of the breast Royal College Of Physicians London, 1767 Julius Who are afflicted with it, are seized while they are walking (more especially if it be up hill, and soon after eating) with a painful and most disagreeable sensation in the breast but the moment they stand still, all this uneasiness vanishes. the pain is situated in the upper part, sometimes in the middle, sometimes in the bottom of the os sterni.
5 . Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Values LDL-C (mg/dl) 110 HDL-C (mg/dl) 38 Total-C (mg/dl) 220 TG (mg/dl) 180 Creatinine 1.1 Fasting glucose (mg/dl) 103 A1c (%) 5.8 Hb ( g/dl) 12
6 Stable Angina Evaluation of LV Function Physical exam CXR Echocardiogram
7 Stable Angina Evaluation of Ischemia History of ACS Baseline Electrocardiogram Exercise Testing with or without Imaging N.A.N 2009
8 Baseline ECG The resting ECG may be normal between attacks however it may show old MI, heart block or LVH
9 ECG ST segment depression with or without T wave inversion that reverse after ischemia disappears.
10 ECG Elevation of ST segment in prinzmental s angina.
11 Indications for Stress Testing Objective confirmation of ischaemia Assessing extent of ischaemia Documenting exercise capacity Functional assessment of known CAD Determining risk and prognosis Determining need for angiography Assessing response to treatment
12 Exercise Testing Contraindications MI impending or acute Unstable angina Acute myocarditis/pericarditis Acute systemic illness Severe aortic stenosis Congestive heart failure Severe hypertension Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias
13 Common Types of Stress Tests Routine Treadmill (ECG only) Exercise Echocardiography Exercise Nuclear Stress Dobutamine Echocardiography Dobutamine Nuclear Stress Adenosine Nuclear Stress Dipyridamole Nuclear Stress
14 Exercise ECG stress testing Treadmill or bicycle ergometer Protocols vary - symptom limited Bruce most popular 8 stages Incline and speed increment every 3 minutes Target % maximum age predicted HR Achieve at least 6 METS for diagnostic accuracy
15
16 How good is exercise ECG testing? Meta-analysis of 147 consecutive studies involving 24,074 patients SENSITIVITY SPECIFICITY
17 DUKE TREADMILL SCORE Duration of exercise on treadmill (in minutes) Amount of ST segment depression (in millimeters) Treadmill Angina index: 0 = No Angina 1 = Non-limiting Angina 2 = Limiting Angina
18 PROGNOSIS: DUKE TREADMILL SCORE
19 Angina: Exercise Testing Low Risk Group Less than 1 mm ST depression in Stage III of Bruce Protocol Annual mortality: 1.3% 7 year survival
20 Angina: Exercise Testing High Risk Patients Significant ST-segment depression at low levels of exercise and/or heart rate<130 Fall in systolic blood pressure Diminished exercise capacity Complex ventricular ectopy at low level of exercise
21 Stable Angina Non invasive diagnostic Imaging tests Stress Echocardiography Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy CT angiography MRI
22 Stable Angina Stress Echo Ischemia may cause wall motion abnormalities
23 Stable Angina Guidelines for Nuclear stress Imaging Diagnosis/prognosis for CAD Non-diagnostic EST Abnormal resting ECG Negative EST with continued chest pain Intermediate probability of disease
24 Myocardial Perfusion Performed at rest & stress Stress study options treadmill exercise pharmacologic stress agents adenosine persantine (dipyridamole) dobutamine
25 Myocardial Perfusion Radiopharmaceuticals Thallium-201 chloride Tc-99m Sestamibi Tc-99m Tetrofosmin SPECT acquisition provides cross-sectional images of the myocardium in the short axis, horizontal long axis and vertical long axis planes
26 How do MPI images look like? - Summed Perfusion Images Stress Rest SA Stress Rest SA Stress Rest VLA Stress Rest HLA
27 Single-photon emission computed tomography perfusion images in two patients with stable anginal symptoms.

29 Stress Echo vs. Nuclear Stress
30 Sensitivity Comparison of Different Testing Modalities
31 SPECIFICITY OF DIFFERENT STRESS TESTING MODALITIES
32 Exercise Testing in Patients With Chest Pain >6 Months After Revascularization Exercise Testing After CABG chest pain is often atypical after surgery rest ECG abnormalities are frequent stress imaging tests are preferred 30% have an abnormal ECG response on treadmill exercise testing early after bypass surgery 1/00 32
33 Exercise Testing in Patients With Chest Pain >6 Months After Revascularization Exercise Testing After PTCA exercise ECG is an insensitive (40% to 55%) predictor of restenosis; stress imaging tests are preferred insufficient data to justify a particular frequency of testing after angioplasty 1/00 medslides.com 33
34 ECG Treadmill EST in Women Higher false-positive rate Reduces procedures without loss of diagnostic accuracy Only 30% of women need be referred for further testing
35 Comparison of Non-invasive Modalities in the Diagnosis of CAD in Women Sensitivity % Specificity % TMT Stress Thallium SPECT MIBI Stress Echo Dobutamine Echo 80 (SVD) 91 (MVD) Rubidium PET Meta-analysis of exercise testing to detect coronary artery disease in women Kwok Y. Kim C. et al Am J Cardiol Mar 1:83(5);
36 Information obtained from Exercise Stress but not available with Pharmacological Test Exercise Duration/Tolerance Reproducibility of Symptoms with Activity Heart rate response to exercise Blood Pressure response Detection of Stress Induced Arrhythmias Assess control of angina with medical therapy
37 Patients Appropriate for Routine ECG Stress Test without Imaging Patient can exercise for 6 or more minutes Normal baseline ECG No history of diabetes No history of coronary revascularization No history of myocardial infarction
38 Situations Where Nuclear Imaging Preferred Diabetics Previous Myocardial Infarction Reduced LV ejection fraction Left Bundle Branch Block (with Adenosine) Significant COPD Hospitalized patient with positive enzymes
39 Situations Where Stress ECHO Preferred Women Younger patients with lower likelihood of symptomatic coronary artery disease Valvular heart disease needs to also be evaluated Evaluate for pulmonary hypertension Exertional dyspnea is the predominant complaint
40 Adenosine is Preferred over Dobutamine except in the following situations Patient taking dipyridamole Patient who cannot exercise and are prone to pulmonary bronchospasm Patient with more than first degree heart block
41 Stable Angina invasive diagnostic tests Coronary Angiography
42 Indications for Coronary Angiography High risk stress test ECG Hemodynamic High risk perfusion study Multiple defects Severe perfusion defects TID Ongoing symptoms Post MI angina CHF Vocational indication Pilots Truck/bus drivers Diagnostic uncertainty
43 Direct Referral For Diagnostic Coronary Angiography When Noninvasive Testing Is Contraindicated Or Unlikely To Be Adequate Due To Illness, Disability Or Physical Characteristics. For Example: coexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease noninvasive testing is abnormal but not clearly diagnostic a high clinical probability of severe CAD diabetics with paucity of symptoms of myocardial ischemia due to autonomic and sensory neuropathy 1/00 43
44 Stable Angina Vs Stable Plaque
45 Noninvasive Plaque Imaging Computed Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging Nuclear imaging (PET)
46 Invasive Techniques for Assessing Plaques Optical coherence tomography (OCT) Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy Intravascular MRI Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) Virtual histology Palpography
47 Calcium Volume Scoring Area = 15 mm 2 Peak CT = 450 Score = 15 x 4 = 60 Area = 8 mm 2 Peak CT = 290 Score = 8 x 2 = 16 Hn x-factor (Agatston Scoring) >400 4

52 PROSPECT: Conclusions From this trial, the first prospective, natural history study of atherosclerosis using multimodality imaging to characterize the coronary tree, we can conclude that: Approximately 20% of pts with ACS successfully treated with stents and contemporary medical Rx develop MACE within 3 years, with adverse events equally attributable to recurrence at originally treated culprit lesions (treatment failure) and to previously untreated non culprit coronary segments Approximately 12% of pts develop MACE from non culprit lesions during 3 years of follow-up Patients treated with contemporary medical therapy who develop non culprit lesion events present most commonly with progressive or unstable angina, and rarely with cardiac death, cardiac arrest or MI
53 When to Consider MSCT Equivocal stress test or persistent symptoms despite negative stress test Prior to non-coronary cardiac surgery (valve or congenital repair) Patients with difficult access or on therapeutic warfarin Suspected coronary anomalies

62 Algorithm for Chest Pain Evaluation in Women Low Probability of CAD (< 20 %) Consider no test High likelihood false + result Intermediate Probability of CAD (20-80%) Perfusion imaging or stress echo High Risk Probability of CAD (> 80%) Perfusion imaging or stress echo Consider direct angiography Continuing Medical Implementation...bridging the care gap
63 Questions to Ask When Picking a Test Can the patient exercise on the treadmill or is pharmacological stress testing needed? Can the patient have a routine stress ECG treadmill test or is adjunctive imaging (Nuclear or ECHO) needed? If imaging needed, which one should be used? If pharmacological stress needed instead of exercise, which agent to use?
64 ACC/AHA guidelines Initiating testing modality for patient with an intermediate probability of CAD? 1. Exercise ECG stress test without imaging 2. Stress test with imaging Myocardial perfusion imaging Dobutamine echocardiography 3. Women 4. Coronary angiography 6
