East Riding And Hull Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme
Innovative programme to provide equitable Cardiac Rehabilitation for all patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction. Improves morbidity and mortality through lifestyle changes. Winner of an NHS Beacon Award.

Extractions: East Yorkshire Primary Care Trust NHS UK NHS Direct NHS Beacon site Welcome To EAST RIDING AND HULL CARDIAC REHABILITATION PROGRAMME INTRODUCTION Why The Service was Needed More than 2,000,000 people are disabled by heart disease in the UK of whom around 80% are currently unknown to cardiac services in secondary care. Every year a further 150,000 people survive a heart attack. Almost all of these patients could significantly benefit from rehabilitation. East Riding is typical of many Health Authorities and includes a large industrial city, with areas of multiple deprivation, several prosperous market towns and a widely dispersed rural population. A needs assessment conducted by the former East Riding Health Authority mapping the incidence of heart attack across the area a search of solutions adopted elsewhere was undertaken.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Most heart attacks are caused by a clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle). The clot usually forms in a coronary artery that has been previously narrowed from changes related to atherosclerosis The atherosclerotic plaque (buildup) inside the arterial wall sometimes cracks, and this triggers the formation of a thrombus, or clot. A clot in the coronary artery interrupts the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, leading to the death of heart cells in that area. The damaged heart muscle permanently loses its ability to contract, and the remaining heart muscle needs to compensate for it. Rarely, sudden overwhelming

Coronary Artery Disease Topics [General] Prevention Of Coronary Artery Disease Angina Pectoris Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Infarction Ischemic myocardial necrosis usually resulting from abrupt reduction in coronary blood flow to a segment of myocardium. Etiology and Pathogenesis MI is rarely caused by arterial embolization (eg, in mitral or aortic stenosis, infective endocarditis, and marantic endocarditis). MI has been reported in patients with coronary spasm and otherwise normal coronary arteries. Cocaine causes intense coronary arterial spasm, and users may present with cocaine-induced angina or MI. Autopsy studies and coronary angiography have shown that cocaine-induced coronary thrombosis may occur in normal coronary arteries or be superimposed on preexisting atheroma. MI is predominantly a disease of the LV, but damage may extend into the right ventricle (RV) or the atria. RV infarction usually results from occlusion of the right coronary or a dominant left circumflex artery and is characterized by high RV filling pressure, often with severe tricuspid regurgitation and reduced cardiac output. Some degree of RV dysfunction occurs in about half of patients with an inferior-posterior infarction, producing hemodynamic abnormality in 10 to 15%. RV dysfunction should be considered in any patient with inferior-posterior infarction and elevated jugular venous pressure with hypotension or shock.

Extractions: Heart Disease Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Format for Printing Main Menu: Overview of Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a serious result of coronary artery disease . Coronary artery disease occurs from atherosclerosis, when arteries become narrow or hardened due to cholesterol plaque build-up. Further narrowing may occur from thrombi (blood clots) that form on the surfaces of plaques. Myocardial infarction occurs when a coronary artery is so severely blocked that there is a significant reduction or break in the blood supply, causing damage or death to a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle). Depending on the extent of the heart muscle damage, the patient may experience significant disability or die as a result of myocardial infarction. In addition to atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction may result from a temporary contraction or spasm of a coronary artery. When this occurs, the artery narrows and the blood flow from the artery is significantly reduced or stopped. Though the cause of coronary artery spasm is still unknown, the condition can occur in both normal blood vessels and those partially blocked by plaques.

Extractions: Thomas J. Ryan, MD VOL 102 / NO 5 / NOVEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the first of five articles on myocardial infarction Preview : The average time that elapses from a patient's first awareness of heart attack symptoms to start-up of specific reperfusion therapy is currently 4 hours. The National Heart Attack Alert Program wants to see this time reduced to 2 hours. Such dispatch would surely benefit patients, because when it comes to thrombolytic therapy, the sooner the better. Dr Ryan summarizes the new recommendations for handling patients with acute myocardial infarction rapidly and efficiently, from the 911 call and transport to the emergency department, through the important first 24 hours of hospitalization, to hospital discharge and long-term management. T he American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association recently updated the guidelines for managing acute myocardial infarction, which are intended for physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare personnel who attend to patients with suspected or established infarction. The guidelines are published in their entirety in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (November 1996) (1) and include specific recommendations on 35 separate treatment aspects. Each series of recommendations regarding indications for a diagnostic procedure, a particular therapy, or an intervention are classified as class I, II, or III (table 1) according to the weight of evidence and the degree of agreement that such therapy or intervention is beneficial, useful, and effective.

Extractions: Elliot Rapaport, MD VOL 102 / NO 5 / NOVEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This is the fifth of five articles on myocardial infarction Preview : Is there any good reason to give intravenous nitroglycerin during evolving acute myocardial infarction? How about a beta blocker? Should an ACE inhibitor be started routinely within the first 24 hours of infarction? When is aspirin useful for suspected acute myocardial infarction? Is it safe in patients with contraindications to thrombolytic therapy? In this article, Dr Rapaport answers these and many more questions by summarizing findings of important studies and describing conclusions he has come to on the basis of his own clinical experience. T reatment of acute myocardial infarction has changed significantly in recent years as findings of large-scale randomized clinical trials have been put to use in clinical practice. Several extensive guidelines for physicians who treat patients with acute infarction have been produced by such groups as the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the European Society of Cardiology. However, these guidelines cannot confer definitive recommendations in all areas, because for certain interventions evidence provided by randomized clinical trials has been inconclusive, and in some cases trials have not even been carried out. Thus, the views presented in this article on use of nitrates, aspirin, beta blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors represent a mixture of results of trials and findings from clinical experience.

Extractions: Pain: is the cardinal symptom of a heart attack. The pain is often described as a tightness or heaviness in the chest. It is often severe enough to be the worst pain that can be experienced. the usual location of the pain is in the center of the chest but it frequently radiates to the left arm or the jaw. Sudden death: loss of blood supply disturbs the orderly transmission of electrical impulses in the heart and as a result the heart stops to effectively pump blood. Permanent brain damage and death can occur unless oxygenated blood flow is restored within five minutes. Approximately 40% of people suffering a heart attack die before reaching to the hospital.
