A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled

d I. INTRODUCTION Acute Coronary Syndrome is defined as a spectrum of conditions involving chest discomfort or other symptoms caused by lack of oxygen to the heart muscle (the myocardium). The unification of these manifestations of coronary artery disease under a single term reflects the understanding that these are caused by a similar pathophysiology (sequence of pathologic events) characterized by erosion, fissuring, or rupture of a pre-existing plaque, leading to thrombosis (clotting) within the coronary arteries and impaired blood supply to the heart muscle. It encompasses a range of thrombotic coronary artery diseases, including unstable angina and both ST-segment elevation and nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Diagnosis requires an electrocardiogram and a careful review for signs and symptoms of cardiac ischemia. In acute coronary syndrome, common electrocardiographic abnormalities include T-wave tenting or inversion, ST-segment elevation or depression (including J-point elevation in multiple leads), and pathologic Q waves. If prompt actions are not done complications such as Myocardial Infarction may take place. (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/acutecoronary-syndrome/DS01061/DSECTION=symptoms) The risk factors for acute coronary syndrome are similar to those for other types of heart disease. It includes Older age (older than 45 for men and older than 55 for women), high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, cigarette smoking, lack of physical activity, type 2 diabetes, family history of chest pain, heart disease or stroke. Signs and symptoms include Chest pain (angina) that feels like burning, pressure or tightness and lasts several minutes or longer, Pain elsewhere in the body, such as the left upper arm or jaw (referred pain), nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath (dyspnea), and sudden, heavy sweating (diaphoresis) (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/acute-coronary syndrome/DS01061/DSECTION=symptoms) According to the morbidity rate, taken from the records of the Department of Health for region X, the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases per 100,000 populations is 3,356. This data is taken from the 2001-2005, a 5 year-average record. While the occurrence rate for cardiovascular disease for region X by 2006 is recorded to be 4,373 per 100,000 populations.(http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/index.htmhttp://www.dh.gov.uk/en /index.htm) On the other hand, Diabetes Mellitus is a condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin or cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced, so that glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed into the cells of the body. Symptoms include frequent urination, lethargy, excessive thirst, and hunger. The treatment includes changes in diet, oral medications, and in some cases, daily injections of insulin.

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled The most common form of diabetes is Type II, It is sometimes called age-onset or adult-onset diabetes, and this form of diabetes occurs most often in people who are overweight and who do not exercise. Type II is considered a milder form of diabetes because of its slow onset (sometimes developing over the course of several years) and because it usually can be controlled with diet and oral medication. The consequences of uncontrolled and untreated Type II diabetes, however, are the just as serious as those for Type I. This form is also called noninsulin-dependent diabetes, a term that is somewhat misleading. Many people with Type II diabetes can control the condition with diet and oral medications, however, insulin injections are sometimes necessary if treatment with diet and oral medication is not working. Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer. (http://www.medicinenet.com/diabetes_mellitus/page4.htm#tocf)

Every cell in the human body needs energy in order to function. The bodys primary energy source is glucose, a simple sugar resulting from the digestion of foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches). Glucose from the digested food circulates in the blood as a ready energy source for any cells that need it. Insulin is a hormone or chemical produced by cells in the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. Insulin bonds to a receptor site on the outside of cell and acts like a key to open a doorway into the cell through which glucose can enter. Some of the glucose can be converted to concentrated energy sources like glycogen or fatty acids and saved for later use. When there is not enough insulin produced or when the doorway no longer recognizes the insulin key, glucose stays in the blood rather entering the cells. Anatomy of the pancreas: The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The right side of the organ (called the head) is the widest part of the organ and lies in the curve of the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). The tapered left side extends slightly upward (called the body of the pancreas) and ends near the spleen (called the tail). The pancreas is made up of two types of tissue: Exocrine tissue

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled o The exocrine tissue secretes digestive enzymes. These enzymes are secreted into a network of ducts that join the main pancreatic duct, which runs the length of the pancreas. Endocrine tissue o The endocrine tissue, which consists of the islets of Langerhans, secretes hormones into the bloodstream. Functions of the pancreas: The pancreas has digestive and hormonal functions: The enzymes secreted by the exocrine tissue in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids in the duodenum. These enzymes travel down the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. When they enter the duodenum, they are activated. The exocrine tissue also secretes bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid in the duodenum. The hormones secreted by the endocrine tissue in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon (which regulate the level of glucose in the blood), and somatostatin (which prevents the release of the other two hormones.

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

13

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled The right and left coronary arteries most often arise independently from individual ostia in association with the right and left aortic valve cusps. The left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCX) coronary arteries arise at the left main coronary artery bifurcation; they supply the anterior LV, the bulk of the interventricular septum (anterior two thirds), the apex, and the lateral and posterior LV walls. The right coronary artery (RCA) generally supplies the right ventricle (RV), the posterior third of the interventricular septum, the inferior wall (diaphragmatic surface) of the left ventricle (LV), and a portion of the posterior wall of the LV (by means of the posterior descending branch). When the posterior descending coronary artery (PDA), which supplies the posterior interventricular septum, arises from the LCX artery, the circulation is called left dominant. Most often, the PDA arises from the RCA; this anatomy is called rightdominant circulation. In two thirds of patients, the first branch of the RCA is the conus artery, which supplies the conus arteriosus (RV outflow tract); occasionally the conus arteriosus arises from a separate orifice. In 60% of patients, the sinus node artery arises from the proximal RCA, and in 40% of patients, it arises from the LCX artery. The anterior branches supply the free wall of the RV, and the acute marginal branches supply the RV. When the RCA extends to the crux (the origin of the PDA), it supplies the atrioventricular (AV) node (90%); otherwise, the AV node is supplied by the LCX. Therefore, obstruction of the RCA commonly affects the sinus node and the AV node, resulting in bradycardia, with or without heart block. Not surprisingly, RCA occlusion frequently manifests with sinus bradycardia, AV block, RV myocardial infarction, and/or inferoposterior myocardial infarction (of the LV).Heart is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood through the body. The heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system, which is responsible for distributing oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other waste products. The heart is the circulatory system's power supply. It must beat ceaselessly because the body's tissues-especially the brain and the heart itself-depend on a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients delivered by the flowing blood. If the heart stops pumping blood for more than a few minutes, death will result. The human heart is shaped like an upside-down pear and is located slightly to the left of center inside the chest cavity. About the size of a closed fist, the heart is made primarily of muscle tissue that contracts rhythmically to propel blood to all parts of
14

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled the body. This rhythmic contraction begins in the developing embryo about three weeks after conception and continues throughout an individual's life. The muscle rests only for a fraction of a second between beats. Over a typical life span of 76 years, the heart will beat nearly 2.8 billion times and move 169 million liters (179 million quarts) of blood. STRUCTURE OF THE HEART The human heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers, the right and left atria, are receiving chambers for blood. The atria are sometimes known as auricles. They collect blood that pours in from veins, blood vessels that return blood to the heart. The heart's lower two chambers, the right and left ventricles, are the powerful pumping chambers. The ventricles propel blood into arteries, blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. A wall of tissue separates the right and left sides of the heart. Each side pumps blood through a different circuit of blood vessels: The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs, while the left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body. Blood returning from a trip around the body has given up most of its oxygen and picked up carbon dioxide in the body's tissues. This oxygen-poor blood feeds into two large veins, the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava, which empty into the right atrium of the heart. The right atrium conducts blood to the right ventricle, and the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries the blood to the lungs, where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide. The blood that is oxygen-rich returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, which empty into the left atrium. Blood passes from the left atrium into the left ventricle, from where it is pumped out of the heart into the aorta, the body's largest artery. Smaller arteries that branch off the aorta distribute blood to various parts of the body. A. THE HEART VALVES Four valves within the heart prevent blood from flowing backward in the heart. The valves open easily in the direction of blood flow, but when blood pushes against the valves in the opposite direction, the valves close. Two valves, known as atrioventricular valves, are located between the atria and ventricles. The right atrioventricular valve is formed from three flaps of tissue and is called the tricuspid valve. The left atrioventricular valve has two flaps and is called the bicuspid or mitral valve. The other two heart valves are located between the ventricles and arteries. They are called semilunar valves because they each consist of three half-moon-shaped flaps of tissue.
15

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled The right semilunar valve, between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, is also called the pulmonary valve. The left semilunar valve, between the left ventricle and aorta, is also called the aortic valve. B. THE MYOCARDIUM Muscle tissue, known as myocardium or cardiac muscle, wraps around a scaffolding of tough connective tissue to form the walls of the heart's chambers. The atria, the receiving chambers of the heart, have relatively thin walls compared to the ventricles, the pumping chambers. The left ventricle has the thickest walls-nearly 1 cm (0.5 in) thick in an adult-because it must work the hardest to propel blood to the farthest reaches of the body. C. THE PERICARDIUM A tough, double-layered sac known as the pericardium surrounds the heart. The inner layer of the pericardium, known as the epicardium, rests directly on top of the heart muscle. The outer layer of the pericardium attaches to the breastbone and other structures in the chest cavity and helps hold the heart in place. Between the two layers of the pericardium is a thin space filled with a watery fluid that helps prevent these layers from rubbing against each other when the heart beats. D. THE ENDOCARDIUM The inner surfaces of the heart's chambers are lined with a thin sheet of shiny, white tissue known as the endocardium. The same type of tissue, more broadly referred to as endothelium, also lines the body's blood vessels, forming one continuous lining throughout the circulatory system. This lining helps blood flow smoothly and prevents blood clots from forming inside the circulatory system. E. THE CORONARY ARTERIES The heart is nourished not by the blood passing through its chambers but by a specialized network of blood vessels. Known as the coronary arteries, these blood vessels encircle the heart like a crown. About 5 percent of the blood pumped to the body enters the coronary arteries, which branch from the aorta just above where it emerges from the left ventricle. Three main coronary arteries-the right, the left circumflex, and the left anterior descending-nourish different regions of the heart muscle. From these three arteries arise smaller branches that enter the muscular walls of the heart to provide a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients. Veins running through
16

A Case Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome, ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Anterior Wall, Killips 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type II - Uncontrolled the heart muscle converge to form a large channel called the coronary sinus, which returns blood to the right atrium. FUNCTION OF THE HEART The heart's duties are much broader than simply pumping blood continuously throughout life. The heart must also respond to changes in the body's demand for oxygen. The heart works very differently during sleep, for example, than in the middle of a 5-km (3-mi) run. Moreover, the heart and the rest of the circulatory system can respond almost instantaneously to shifting situations-when a person stands up or lies down, for example, or when a person is faced with a potentially dangerous situation.

ECG The electrocardiogram (ECG or ST segment elevation EKG) is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart in exquisite detail. Interpretation of these details allows diagnosis of a wide range of heart conditions. These conditions can vary from minor to life threatening. Myocardial injury causes the T wave to become enlarged and symmetric. As the area of injury becomes ischemic, myocardial repolarization is altered and delayed, causing T wave to invert.

Encouraged client to do at least 30 minutes of walking a day as a form of exercise. Encouraged client to quit smoking and offered nicotine replacement. Cessation of cigarette smoking reduces the progression of disease, as shown by lower rates of amputation and lower incidences of rest ischemia in patients who quit, and it reduces the risks of myocardial infarction and death from other vascular causes. Instructed to monitor blood sugar regularly. Adjustments in diet, medication and exercise can be made accordingly. Encouraged to stick to the monitoring protocol prescribed by the doctor. Generally, blood is monitored before meals and at bedtime.

X. RELATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Taking up nursing course have entitled the group to become disciplined in everything that we do. As much as we want to think that the nursing life is easy to somehow lessen the stress and sometimes burden but its not working. This have made us realize that its better to accept the idea that nothing is easy and hence, molding ourselves to become disciplined is one way of passing this difficult road to success.

Our duty at the Intensive Care Unit of Northern Mindanao Medical Center is probably the busiest duty weve ever had unlike in CUMC Intensive Care Unit its opposite due to fewer patients admitted. But despite it, we have taken it as an opportunity to take advantage of our duty time in improving our clinical skills and as well as improving our knowledge. Weve learned a lot in the clinical area and so its definitely worth our exhaustion.

The entire process of making this case study may have not been easy for all of us but fortunately, weve manage to deal with the problems properly and thus, we were able to finish this case study in the best way we could. Whether the outcome of this case study is good or bad, we must take it as a lesson and a parameter to continue seeking knowledge and improving our skills.

This case study enabled the group to identify nursing intervention which are appropriate to promote the well-being of the patient and as well as the medical management for the case.

We would like to thank Mr. Hamed Fabre, for giving his best to teach us and to mold us in becoming good and competent nurses in the future. Furthermore, this rotation would have not been successful without the guidance of our almighty God!
