A 45-year-old engineer presents to the ER complaining of severe, intense, precordial crushing sensation with pain radiation to the left shoulder and down the side of the left arm, triggered by exercise. The chest discomfort brought on by the exertion is relieved by rest. ER examination results are the following: heart rate of 98 beats/min, blood pressure of 160/110 mmHg, and the respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min. An EKG is performed and reveals ventricular extrasystole arrhythmia (premature ventricular contraction [PVC]) as well as ST segment depression and decreased R-wave height. An exercise tolerance test is performed which demonstrates a downward sloping ST segment. Coronary angiography shows luminal obstruction >75% (91%) in three major coronary vessels, including the left anterior interventricular (descending) coronary artery. The patient is started on nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers. Angioplasty is scheduled for the next morning. What is the term used to describe chest pain experienced by this patient? Describe the mechanism for chest pain. Describe the different types of chest pain. Explain the mechanism of action and the rationale for administering nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers.
