011Coronary Artery DiseaseCardiovascularCardiovascular System~200 million globally; leading cause of death worldwideAtherosclerosis, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyleAtherosclerotic plaque buildup in coronary arteries causing reduced myocardial blood flow and oxygen deliveryAngina pectoris (chest pain), dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, may be asymptomatic until MICardiac stress test, coronary angiography, ECG changes, elevated troponins if acute MI, coronary CT angiographyAntiplatelet therapy (aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors), statins, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, lifestyle modification, revascularization if indicatedAspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, metoprolol, lisinopril, nitroglycerin, ranolazineSmoking cessation, Mediterranean diet, regular aerobic exercise, weight management, stress reductionMyocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, cardiogenic shockVariable; well-controlled CAD can have near-normal life expectancy; post-MI 5-year mortality ~50% if untreated9.44 million deaths annually; leading global cause of mortalityI25YesTypically >45 years; earlier with risk factors
022Heart FailureCardiovascularCardiovascular System64 million globally; prevalence 1-2% in adults, >10% in those >70CAD, hypertension, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, alcohol abuse, viral myocarditis, congenital heart diseaseImpaired ventricular filling (diastolic dysfunction) or ejection (systolic dysfunction) causing inadequate cardiac output and fluid retentionDyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, peripheral edema, fatigue, exercise intoleranceClinical symptoms + BNP/NT-proBNP elevation, echocardiography showing reduced EF (<40% HFrEF) or preserved EF with diastolic dysfunction (HFpEF)Diuretics for congestion, ACE inhibitors/ARBs/ARNI, beta-blockers, MRAs, SGLT2 inhibitors, device therapy if indicatedFurosemide, sacubitril/valsartan, carvedilol, spironolactone, empagliflozin, digoxinSodium restriction (<2g/day), fluid restriction, daily weights, exercise as tolerated, vaccinationAcute decompensation, arrhythmias, renal dysfunction, thromboembolism, sudden deathChronic progressive condition; 5-year mortality ~50%; significantly reduced life expectancy especially with advanced HF3.5 million deaths annually; major cause of hospitalization in elderlyI50YesTypically >65 years; can occur earlier with CAD
033HypertensionCardiovascularCardiovascular System1.39 billion adults worldwide; ~46% of adults have hypertensionPrimary (idiopathic 90-95%); secondary causes include renal disease, endocrine disorders, medications, OSA; risk factors: age, obesity, salt intake, alcohol, stress, family historyIncreased peripheral vascular resistance and/or cardiac output; chronic elevation damages arterial walls and end organsOften asymptomatic ('silent killer'); severe HTN may cause headache, vision changes, chest pain, dyspneaBP ≥130/80 mmHg (ACC/AHA) or ≥140/90 mmHg (ESC/WHO) on multiple occasions; ambulatory BP monitoring for confirmationLifestyle modification first; pharmacotherapy: thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, CCBs, beta-blockersHydrochlorothiazide, lisinopril, amlodipine, losartan, metoprolol, chlorthalidoneDASH diet, sodium restriction (<2.3g/day), weight loss, regular exercise, alcohol moderation, stress managementStroke, MI, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, aortic dissection, dementiaGood prognosis with treatment; well-controlled hypertension can have normal life expectancy; untreated significantly increases CV mortality10.8 million deaths annually; leading risk factor for global disease burdenI10YesTypically >40 years; increasing prevalence with age
044Atrial FibrillationCardiovascularCardiovascular System60 million globally; ~3% of adults >20 years; 9% in those >65Hypertension, heart failure, valve disease, CAD, hyperthyroidism, alcohol, obesity, sleep apnea, age, genetic factorsChaotic atrial electrical activity causing irregular ventricular response; atrial remodeling and fibrosis perpetuate arrhythmiaPalpitations, dyspnea, fatigue, dizziness, chest discomfort; may be asymptomatic in paroxysmal AFECG showing irregularly irregular rhythm without P waves, fibrillatory waves; echocardiography to assess structural disease and thrombus riskRate control (beta-blockers, CCBs) vs rhythm control (antiarrhythmics, cardioversion); anticoagulation based on CHA2DS2-VASc scoreMetoprolol, diltiazem, amiodarone, flecainide, apixaban, warfarin, rivaroxabanAlcohol abstinence, weight loss, treatment of OSA, regular exercise, BP controlStroke (5x risk), heart failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia, bleeding from anticoagulationVariable; well-controlled AF with anticoagulation has near-normal life expectancy; increased stroke and mortality risk if untreated287,000 deaths annually; major cause of stroke and disabilityI48YesTypically >65 years; incidence increases with age
055Peripheral Arterial DiseaseCardiovascularCardiovascular SystemOver 200 million globally; 12-14% of general population; higher in elderlyAtherosclerosis, smoking (strongest risk), diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, age >65, family historyAtherosclerotic narrowing of peripheral arteries (especially lower extremities) causing reduced blood flow and ischemiaIntermittent claudication (leg pain with walking), rest pain, non-healing ulcers, cold extremities; 50% asymptomaticAnkle-brachial index (ABI <0.90), arterial duplex ultrasound, CT/MR angiography, physical exam findingsAntiplatelet therapy (aspirin/clopidogrel), statin therapy, cilostazol for claudication, exercise therapy, revascularization if severeAspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, cilostazol, rivaroxaban (high-risk patients)Smoking cessation (critical), supervised exercise program, foot care, wound care if ulcers presentCritical limb ischemia, amputation, MI, stroke, cardiovascular deathReduced life expectancy; 5-year mortality 10-15%; high CV event risk; critical limb ischemia has poor prognosisSignificant CV morbidity; marker of systemic atherosclerosis; increases overall mortality riskI73.9YesTypically >50 years; earlier with diabetes/smoking
