ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE
Rationale
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) belongs to a group of cardiovascular diseases known as Coronary Artery Disease. CAD remains to be a major health problem in western countries and the rest of the world despite the advances in medicine. The reasons for this are multifactorial and are due to the advancing age of the population.
Background
Ischemic Heart Disease is characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart.Ischaemia means a "reduced blood supply".The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle and no alternative blood supply exists, so a blockage in the coronary arteries reduces the supply of blood to heart muscle. Most ischaemic heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis, usually present even when the artery lumens appear normal by angiography.Initially there is sudden severe narrowing or closure of either the large coronary arteries and/or of coronary artery end branches by debris showering downstream in the flowing blood. It is usually felt as angina, especially if a large area is affected. The narrowing or closure is predominantly caused by the covering of atheromatous plaques within the wall of the artery rupturing, in turn leading to a heart attack (Heart attacks caused by just artery narrowing are rare). A heart attack causes damage to heart muscle by cutting off its blood supply.
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the generic designation for a group of closely related syndromes resulting from myocardial ischemiaan imbalance between the supply (perfusion) and demand of the heart for oxygenated blood. It comprises not only insufficiency of oxygen, but also reduced availability of nutrient substrates and inadequate removal of metabolites. Isolated hypoxemia (i.e., diminished transport of oxygen by the blood) induced by cyanotic congenital heart disease, severe anemia, or advanced lung disease is less deleterious than ischemia because perfusion (including metabolic substrate delivery and waste removal) is maintained.
Clinical Manifestations:
A. Myocardial infarction (MI), the most important form of IHD, in which the duration and severity of ischemia is sufficient to cause death of heart muscle.
B. Angina pectoris, in which the ischemia is less severe and does not cause death of cardiac muscle. Of the three variantsstable angina, Prinzmetal angina, and unstable anginathe latter is the most threatening as a frequent harbinger of MI.
C. Chronic IHD with heart failure.
D. Sudden cardiac death.

- no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to cefuroxime- should be used when needed
Chronic Toxicity
- low toxicity
Acute Toxicity
- low toxicity
Drug Interactions
- drugs that reduce gastric acidity: lower bioavailability of Cefuroxime
- oral contraceptives: lower estrogen absorption and reduce efficacy of oral contraceptives
- aminoglycosides and diuretics: renal toxicity

HEALTH STATUS
Personal Data
Patients Name: Perfecto Pandacan Balili
Age: 60 years oldSex: Male
Address: Barangay 76-A, Sabrosa Village, Ecoland, Davao City
Chief Complaint: DyspneaMedical Diagnosis: Coronary Artery Disease, Acute Myocardial Infarction Killips II,
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular Dilatation, FC IIIFamily Background
The family has been living in Ecoland ever since Perfecto and Lydia got married, except for some years in between when the family went to Manila but apparently they also came back here in Davao. The couple has eleven children with 6 girls and 5 boys. Aside from that within the 6 girls there is a twin and the same applies with the 5 boys, apparently their third set of twins died due to miscarriage.
Among the eleven children only two of them were able to finish college and the rest were only able to study until their high school years for varied reasons. In addition, currently the couples children are in Manila, one is in Japan and three stayed here in Davao. All of their children are currently married except for the youngest three.
Mr. Perfecto Balili has an educational attainment of until second year high school and his wife Lydia got until second year College with a course of Accountancy. According to Mrs. Balili they got married when she was in third year high school because she already got pregnant with their first child. But even though this is the case she still continued her schooling until second year college with the financial support of her husband. In addition, she got pregnant with only a years difference on all of her children.
Perfecto has always been a taxi driver. He supported his familys daily needs, educational needs and others with only this kind of job. He worked as a taxi driver both here in Davao and even when they came to Manila he also worked as an FX driver. Back then when their children was young Mr. Perfecto is the only one that works because Lydia is the one that takes care of the children and until today she is still a plain house wife. But when Mr. Balili experienced his first heart attack in Manila, he temporarily stopped driving and took a rest. After a few months he then continued his work and did not totally stop driving until after his third attack and so their children are the ones that supported the family. Currently, they get their financial support in their daughter who is in Japan.
Some of his vices include drinking and smoking. He is a hard drinker and started drinking when he was only a teenager. He can consume half a box of cigarette in a day and this started during his twenties. He is also fond of eating meat compared to fish and vegetables.Furthermore, Perfectos father died due to cancer and his mother died due to asthma. Among his siblings, 3 of his siblings had pulmonary tuberculosis namely Emilio, Carlos and Lucia. One of his sisters had a renal failure and hypertension. Other than that they have no trace of any hereditary diseases. Perfectos son, Adrian, had PTB and 3 of his children had pneumonia. His daughter, Jackilyn, had Rheumatic Heart Disease and his son, Jeffrey, had asthma.History of Past Illness
Back in 1986, Perfecto was diagnosed of pulmonary tuberculosis and he sought medical help from the Barangay Health Center. He was then given the 6 months treatment for PTB, after the completion of the medication the patient failed to have a follow-up check-up after the treatment.
Perfecto had his first attack 7 years ago; he had his first and second heart attack in Manila. During his first attack he was admitted in Manila Hospital then was transferred to San Juan Hospital for five days and was then brought back to Manila Hospital. His third and fourth heart attack happened in Davao. He was admitted in Med-Main in DMC on his third attack and his fourth attack was in Med CP for he had COPD and was then transferred to CCU for he was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease basing on his result of Echocardiogram. His fourth attack happened only last July 2006.
History of Present Illness
One month PTA, the patient had his available oxygen via oxygen tank in his house as aid for his breathing, which they bought for P4,500. He also had an air conditioned room at his home just to aid his condition. Two weeks PTA, patient had bipedal edema, loss weight; decrease appetite and experienced paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. He had difficulty sleeping during the night. Three days PTA, patient has been having episodes of chest pain at the left anterior chest radiating to the arm, lasting for a minute. Five hours PTA, he had recurrence of chest pain of the same character. He then took isosorbide mononitrate SL but without relief. Persistence of symptoms prompted this admission, with a previously diagnosed coronary artery disease by 2D Echo result.
Effects and Expectation of Illness to Family
Mr. Perfecto already had five heart attacks and his condition got worse every time this happens. Although the family is very well aware of his degenerating condition they are still hoping that he will get better and that will live much longer. As observed the family is not really affluent and that they are having financial problems due to the recurrent attacks of the patient. Luckily, they are being assisted by his daughter, Jackilyn, who had a Japanese husband and currently resides in Japan. In addition, he also had a senior citizens identification card that becomes a big aid in their financial needs. Aside from the financial help the family is greatly affected by the patients condition and thus still tries their best to live a normal life.

Arterial Blood Gas(ABG)- Arterial blood gas analysis is a test in which blood is taken from an artery in your wrist to evaluate how effective your lungs in bringing oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide from itBlood gases are used to determine the acid-base balance and/or the respiratory or metabolic status of the client.
The pH is the measurement of the free hydrogen ion concentration in the blood.
pCO2 represents the partial pressure carbon dioxide exerts in the arterial blood.
pO2 represents the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood, identifies how well the lungs are oxygenating the blood.
HCO3 is an alkaline substance that functions as an important buffer in the blood stream.
O2 sat is the amount of oxygen actually bound to the hemoglobin and available for transport throughout the body.pH

PlateletEvaluates blood loss, erythropoietic ability, anemia and response to therapy. It is an important component of red blood cell that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.
Evaluates blood loss, anemia, blood replacement therapy and fluid balance and screens red blood cell status. It is the measure of red blood cells within the volume and also evaluates dehydration and hypervolemia.
Evaluates anemia, polycythemia and calculates red blood cell indices. Oxygen transport to the cells throughout the body depends upon sufficient numbers of red blood cells with adequate amount of hemoglobin.
Evaluates a number of conditions and differentiates causes of alterations in the total WBC count including inflammation, infection, tissue necrosis and/or leukemic neoplasm.
Increase neutrophil count may indicate parasitic or bacterial infection, metabolic disorder including diabetic acidosis. Decrease in level may indicate infection and anemia.
Evaluate bacterial and viral infection, immune disease, leukemia and ulcerative colitis. Elevated levels may indicate active viral infection and depressed level may indicate exhausted immune system.
Evaluates function of phagocytic scavenger to remove foreigh materials.
Primary influenced by antigen-body responses.
Basophil function not understood as well as other white cell types; it is believed to be related to allergic and anaphylactic responses.
Evaluates platelet production. It notes the platelet size and shape. Low levels predispose bleeding while high levels may increase the risk of thrombocytosis.Hgb

Diagnostic procedure:
Chest x-ray is the most commonly performed diagnostic x-ray examination. A chest x-ray makes images of the lungs, airway, blood vessels and the bones of the spine and chest
Rationale:
Identify various abnormalities of the lungs and structures in the thorax, including the heart, great vessels, ribs or diaphragm. It may also be used as a general screening tool or for a specific diagnostic purpose, including identification of pulmonary diseases or orthopedic abnormalities. It is also used to evaluate the status of respiratory abnormalities or cardiac conditions.
Normal Findings:
Normal chest and surrounding structures, including bony thorax, soft tissues, mediastinum, lungs, pleura, heart, and great vessels
Result:
Study done in AP supine view. Haziness is noted in both lower lung fields. A thin band of opacity is noted in the right apex. The rest of the lungs are clear. Tracheal air column is at midline. The heart is enlarged with inferolateral displacement of the cardiac apex, fullness of the retro cardiac space and splaying of the carina. Both costophrenic sulci are blunted. The hemidiaphragms are obscured. The rest of the included structures are unremarkable.

Immunology:
Troponin T qualitative is reliable markers of myocardial injury and is found in human serum within 4-6 hours following MI
Rationale:
Primarily ordered for people who have chest pain to see if they have had a heart attack or other damage to the heart. It is done 2-3 times in 12-16 hours period.
Result: POSITIVE
Implication:
It indicates pulmonary embolism because of right ventricular dilatation and myocardial injury
Hematology:
PROTIME and APTT
Rationale (ProTime):
Screens for lack of coagulation factors necessary for blood clotting. Prothrombin time measures the time required for a fibrin clot to form in a citrated plasma sample after addition of calcium ions and tissue thromboplastin and compares this with fibrin clotting time in a control sample plasma.
Rationale (APTT):
Assess bleeding disorders or the effectiveness of heparin therapy by evaluating intrinsic coagulation factors necessary for blood clotting. The basis of the test is fibrin clot formation and it evaluates all the clotting factors of the intrinsic pathway except factors VII and VIII.
Normal Findings (ProTime): 11-14 seconds
Normal Findings (APTT): 27-34 seconds
