Management of Stable Angina: Type Key Marker Typical angina All 3 characteristics present Atypical angina 2 of 3 characteristics Non-anginal pain 1 or none Character: heaviness / compressing / burning / squeezing / crushing / gripping Location: retrosternal or left-sided → radiates to shoulder, arm, jaw, epigastrium Trigger: exertion or emotion Relief: rest or nitrates Classification: Never: Localized Stitching or throbbing < 30 seconds Patient education Lifestyle modification Risk factor modification Prevention of cardiovascular events → Antiplatelets, lipid-lowering agents, ACE inhibitors (Clopidogrel if aspirin intolerance) Antianginal medications → Beta blockers, CCBs, Nitrates Myocardial Revascularization → PCI or CABGNB 3- Anginal Pain — Clinical Features

3- Clinical Considerations: Visit duration: Brief (<30 min), avoid early morning/late afternoon. Position: Semi-supine; rise slowly (avoid orthostatic hypotension). Anesthesia: No intravascular injection;max 2carpules with VC Monitoring: BP + pulse oximetry as needed 4- If surgery needed: Anticoagulated patient: determine INR on the day of treatmen Antiplatelet patient: local hemostatic measures. 6 5. Dental Management in IHD Antiplatelet/Anticoagulant Management: 1- General Timing Rules: Safety period: 6 months before any oral surgical procedure post-MI. Within 6 months + urgent treatment needed (extraction/RCT) → hospital setting only 2- Medications: Nitrates Patient brings them; preventive dose before LA; use if chest pain develops Very anxious patients Premedication: Diazepam 5-10mg night before + 1-2h before Warfarin Check INR day of treatment; keep <3.5; local hemostasis if surgery Aspirin/Clopidogrel - no stent, low risk Stop 7-10 days before surgery Aspirin/Clopidogrel - WITH stent Do NOT stop: ≥1 month (bare metal) / ≥12 months (drug-eluting) Drug interactions NSAIDs, Penicillin, Tetracycline, Metronidazole, and anticoagulantsNB

7 Avoid diathermy — if must use → bipolar preferred ICD programmed OFF before surgery → ON after Patient brings manufacturer ID card No electrical cords over patient's chest Unshielded pacemakers → cover with lead apron Know malfunction symptoms: dizziness / breathing difficulty / chest pain / pulse change → refer to cardiologist Monitor BP and pain throughout the intervention. Anticoagulants: stop heparin 6-12 hours before → resume 6 hours after bleeding stops. Anesthesia: minimal amount + epinephrine 1:100,000 or 1:200,000. If stroke symptoms appear → oxygen immediately + refer to hospital. 7.Stroke Patient — Dental Management: 6.Cardiac Pacemakers — Dental Management: 5- Local Hemostatic Measures: Bone wax, sutures, gelatin, oxidized cellulose, collagen, platelet-rich plasma, thrombin, fibrin sealants, electric/laser scalpel, tranexamic acid Anesthesia Caution: ⚠ Max 3 ml of 2% Lignocaine + 1:80,000 adrenaline

Failure of the heart as a pump → inadequate cardiac output → evidence of reduced peripheral perfusion: Clinical signs: Cool & clammy skin Weak distal pulses Altered mental status Urine output < 30 mL/hour Hemodynamic criteria: Systolic BP < 90 mmHg for ≥ 30 minutes PCWP > 15 mmHg Other causes: Mechanical complications of MI → acute mitral regurgitation / VSD / free wall rupture Right ventricular MI End-stage cardiomyopathies Acute myocarditis Severe arrhythmias Post-traumatic 22 2. Common causes: Most common cause = Acute MI (pump failure). 1.Definition: CCardiogenic shockardiogenic shockCardiogenic shock

An ulcer in the duodenum, stomach, lower esophagus, or jejunum (after gastrojejunostomy) exposed to acid-peptic juices, with a defect/erosion extending through the muscularis mucosa into the submucosa or deeper. 23 2. Etiology: 1.Definition: Peptic ulcerPeptic ulcerPeptic ulcer H. pylori spiral-shaped, gram-negative, urease-producing organism; lives under the mucus layer near gastric epithelial cells; transmitted faeco-oral or oral-oral (saliva) NSAIDs inhibit COX-1 → ↓ prostaglandins → ↓ mucosal barrier (↓mucus, ↓bicarbonate, ↓blood flow) → erosion/ulceration. COX-2 inhibitors spare the GI mucosa Smoking ↓ healing, ↑ recurrence Other factors reflux (esophageal ulcers), gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison), more common in men, familial tendency (especially DU), more common with blood group O 3- Symptoms: Epigastric pain: DU: worse when hungry & at night; relieved by food/antacids/vomiting GU: occurs 0.5–1 hr after meals; relieved by fasting/antacids/vomiting Nausea. Vomiting. GI bleeding. Appetite change. Heartburn. Episodic pain. 4- D.D: Pancreatitis Cholecystitis GERD / gastric cancer Inferior wall MI/ischemia 5. Complications: Hemorrhage → hematemesis, melena, anemia Fibrosis/obstruction Perforation (more common in DU) Penetration

Lifestyle avoid NSAIDs (or use COX-2 selective), stop smoking Medical Antacids H2 blockers (4–6 wks): Ranitidine,Famotidine Proton pump inhibitors: Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Lansoprazole. H. pylori Eradication: First-line: 4 PPI + Clarithromycin + (Metronidazole or Tinidazole) + Amoxicillin. Quadruple therapy: 4 PPI bd + Bismuth (subsalicylate/subcitrate) + Metronidazole + Tetracycline. 7. Dental Care in Peptic Ulcer: Check platelet count before surgical procedures. Avoid aspirin-containing analgesics; selective analgesic use preferred. Minimize stress — shorter appointments Avoid steroids (worsen acid production). Avoid tetracycline/erythromycin in patients on aluminium/calcium/magnesium antacids. Sialogogues may be needed for anticholinergic-associated xerostomia. Bismuth subsalicylate (used for H. pylori) can harmlessly turn the tongue black. Long-term NSAID use for dental pain can itself cause ulcers — heals once stopped. 24 6. Treatment:

1- Dental management in patients with CAD (IHD): اﺪﺟ ﻢﻬﻣ 1. Timing & Scheduling Post-MI Safety: Wait 6 months for elective oral surgery; urgent care within this period requires a hospital setting. Appointments: Keep visits brief (<30 min) and avoid early morning or late afternoon slots. 2. Clinical Procedures Positioning: Use a semi-supine position and have the patient rise slowly to prevent orthostatic hypotension. Monitoring: Track blood pressure and pulse oximetry during the intervention. Anesthesia: Use a maximum of 2 carpules with a vasoconstrictor and ensure no intravascular injection. 3. Medication Management : ( اﺪﺟ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﺰﻛﺮﺘﺑ رﻮﺘﻛﺪﻟا ﺐﺘﻜﺘﻳ ءﺰﺟ ﻢﻫأ) Anxiety: Premedicate with Diazepam (5–10 mg) the night before and 1–2 hours before the visit if needed. Antiplatelets: Stop Aspirin/Clopidogrel 7–10 days before surgery for low-risk patients without stents. Stents: Do NOT stop antiplatelets if a bare-metal stent was placed ≥1 month ago or a drug-eluting stent ≥12 months ago. Anticoagulants: Ensure INR is <3.5 on the day of treatment for patients on Warfarin. 4. Emergency Protocol for Chest Pain Immediate Action: Stop treatment, provide 3 L/min Oxygen, and administer 0.4–0.8 mg sublingual nitrite. Follow-up: If pain persists after 5 minutes, give a second dose; if it continues for 15 minutes, transport the patient to a hospital. CAD 3

2- Enumerate risk factors of (CAD)? Non-modifiable Risk Factors: Age Gender (specifically male ) Family history Modifiable Risk Factors: Hypertension Smoking Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Obesity Dyslipidemia (specifically increased LDL-C) Lifestyle 3- Dental management in cardiac pacemakers: Preparation & Documentation Identification: Patients must bring their manufacturer ID card. ICD Settings: Program the ICD OFF before surgery and ON immediately afterward. Equipment & Electrical Safety Cords: Do not place electrical cords over the patient's chest. Shielding: Cover unshielded pacemakers with a lead apron. Diathermy: Avoid use if possible; if necessary, bipolar is preferred. Clinical Procedures Anesthesia: Limit to a maximum of 3 ml of 2% Lignocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline. Hemostasis: Use local measures such as bone wax, sutures, gelatin, collagen, thrombin, or tranexamic acid. Immediately refer to a cardiologist if the patient experiences: Dizziness, Breathing difficulty, Chest pain, or Changes in pulse. 4ﻆﻔﺤﺘﻫ شﺮﻜﻔﺘﻣ ﺶﻣ ازاي دا ﻞﻛ ﻆﻔﺤﺗ زمﻻ ف ﺎﻬﻠﻛ ﺔﻠﺌﺳﻻا :/ﺪﺣوا مﻮﻳ

Anesthesia: Use a minimal amount of local anesthesia combined with epinephrine at a concentration of 1:100,000 or 1:200,000. Anticoagulant Management: If the patient is on heparin, it should be stopped 6–12 hours before the procedure and can be resumed 6 hours after bleeding has stopped. Emergency Protocol: If symptoms of a stroke appear during treatment, immediately administer oxygen and refer the patient to a hospital.ﺪﺧ يﺪﻌﻣ ﺖﻧوا ﻪﺴﻤﺧ ﻚﻳﺮﺑ تﺎﻓ ﻲﻠﻟا ع ﻊﺟرا 5

1- Dental management in hypertensive patients: اااﺪﺟ ﻢﻬﻣ Pre-Treatment Evaluation: Record medical history, BP, and HR at every visit. BP <160/100 mmHg: proceed normally. BP >160/100 mmHg: postpone elective care and refer to physician. Emergency (160-180 mmHg): treat only if pain-related, with BP monitoring every 10-15 min. Signs of hypertensive crisis (headache, visual changes, SOB, chest pain) → immediate emergency referral Appointment Management Prefer short morning appointments. Reduce anxiety; Diazepam may be used if needed. Continue antihypertensive medications on the treatment day. During Treatment Limit adrenaline (vasoconstrictor) to 0.04 mg maximum. Monitor BP during long/complex procedures. Prevent orthostatic hypotension: advise patients to stand slowly. up Medication Considerations Limit NSAIDs to ≤5 days as they may increase BP and reduce antihypertensive effectiveness. 2- Enumerate target organ damage: Heart → Angina / MI / Heart failure Brain → Stroke / TIA Kidney → Nephropathy Peripheral arteries → Peripheral arterial disease Eyes → Retinopathy HTN 6

1- Give short account on clinical manifestations of (ARF) And diagnostic criteria according to Jones: ﻢﻬﻣ Major Manifestations Polyarthritis (75%): Migratory inflammation of large joints (e.g. knees, ankles) that leaves no permanent damage. Carditis (40-50%): Inflammation of all heart layers (pan- carditis), often presenting as a new murmur or heart failure. Sydenham’s Chorea: Jerky, uncoordinated movements of the limbs and face that disappear during sleep. Subcutaneous Nodules (<2%): Small, firm, painless bumps on extensor surfaces. Erythema Marginatum: A transient, pink, circular rash found on the trunk and limbs. Minor Manifestations Arthralgia (joint pain without swelling). Fever (≥ 102°F). Elevated acute-phase Diagnosis (Jones Criteria): A definitive diagnosis in first episode requires: two major manifestations one major + two minor manifestations, + evidence of a preceding Group A Streptococcal (GAS) infection. for recurrence diagnosis: Only one major or several minor manifestations. ARF 7

Imaging positive (echocardiogram showing vegetation, abscess, or perforation). Minor Criteria Predisposing heart condition or IV drug use. Fever > 38°C. Vascular phenomena (such as emboli or Janeway's lesions). Immunological phenomena (such as Osler's nodes or Roth's spots). Diagnosis of definite IE: 2 major criteria Or 1 major + 3 minor or 5 minor criteria.

3- Enumerate clinical features of IE: Fever Heart murmurs Myo-skeletal symptoms (including arthralgia, myalgia, and back pain) Splinter hemorrhages Osler's nodes Janeway's lesions Conjunctival hemorrhage Roth's spots Systemic embolism Heart failure 4- Cases for which prophylaxis is not required ﺐﻳﺮﻗ ﻦﻣ ﻪﺟ: Dental Procedures and Events: Routine local anaesthetic injections through non-infected tissue. Dental radiographs (X-rays). Placement or adjustment of orthodontic or prosthodontic appliances. Shedding of deciduous teeth. Cardiac Conditions: Native valve disease (such as Aortic Stenosis [AS], Mitral Stenosis [MS], or Mitral Valve Prolapse [MVP]). All other forms of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) 11

5- The high-risk cardiac conditions where antibiotic prophylaxis is required before specific dental procedures include: Prosthetic cardiac valve. Previous infective endocarditis. Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), including palliative shunts. Repaired CHD with prosthetic material within the first 6 months of the procedure. Repaired CHD with residual defects remaining at the prosthetic site. 6- Antibiotic prophylaxis before dental procedures: Standard Oral Regimen Amoxicillin: 2 g for adults; 50 mg/kg for children. 2. Unable to Take Oral Medications Ampicillin: 2 g IM/IV for adults; 50 mg/kg for children. Cefazolin or Ceftriaxone: 1 g IM/IV for adults; 50 mg/kg for children. 3. Penicillin-Allergic (Oral) Clindamycin: 600 mg for adults; 20 mg/kg for children. Azithromycin: 500 mg for adults; 15 mg/kg for children. 4. Penicillin-Allergic & Unable to Take Oral Medications Cefazolin or Ceftriaxone: 1 g IM/IV for adults; 50 mg/kg for children. Clindamycin: 600 mg IM/IV for adults; 20 mg/kg for children. 12

1- Discuss classifications of Heart failure: 1.By Ejection Fraction (Echo): Systolic HF: Heart failure with reduced EF (< 40-5%). 2- Diastolic HF: Heart failure with preserved EF (> 40-50%). 2.Anatomical / Clinical: Left HF: Involves fluid retention and pulmonary edema in the pulmonary veins. Right HF: Involves fluid retention and peripheral edema in the systemic veins. Congestive HF: Begins in the left side and then refers to the right. 3.By Cardiac Output: Low Cardiac Output HF. High Cardiac Output HF: Caused by anemia, thyrotoxicosis, sepsis, or AV shunts. By Onset & Duration: Chronic HF: Slow onset. Acute HF: Fast onset. 2- Enumerate causes of HF: HF Hypertension Cardiomyopathies Infectious diseases Alcohol Coronary artery disease Valvular heart disease Congenital heart disease Tobacco & cocaine (↑ CAD risk) 3- Enumerate predisposing factors of HF: Arrhythmia Anaemia Thyrotoxicosis Infection IV fluids Pregnancy / Pills Rheumatic activity Infective endocarditis Negative inotropic drugs Discontinuation of digitalis 13

1- Discuss causes of syncope: 1.Cardiac: Exertional (obstruction): AS, HOCM At rest (arrhythmias): Adams-Stokes, brady/tachycardia Decreased venous return: Hemorrhage, burns, peripheral vasodilation Positional: Ball & valve embolus, left atrial myxoma 2.Vasomotor: Vasovagal attack, carotid sinus syndrome 3.Orthostatic: Autonomic neuropathy, huge varicose veins, hypovolemia (hemorrhage/dehydration), leg muscle weakness 4.Cerebral: Cerebral embolism, hyperventilation 5.Hypoxia: Marked hypoxia (e.g., Fallot's tetralogy) 6.Other: Cough, micturition, autonomic epilepsy. Syncope 14

1- Discuss treatment of peptic ulcer: 1.Lifestyle: Stop smoking and avoid traditional NSAIDs (switch to selective COX-2 inhibitors if analgesics are required). 2.Acid Suppression: Antacids.
