    • RAO cranial
30
Q

What is the optimal projection for visualizing:

  • CFx
A
  • AP caudal
  • LAO caudal (shallow)
  • RAO caudal

    • RAO caudal (shallow)
      • may be compromised by foreshortening
  • Ostium of RI
    • LAO caudal (steep)
31
Q

What is the optimal projection for visualizing:

  • RCA
A
  • Proximal
    • LAO straight
  • Mid
    • left lateral projection
  • Distal RCA, PDA, PLB bifuraction
    • LAO cranial
  • Proximal and mid PDA
    • RAO
32
Q

What is the optimal projection for visualizing:

  • LIMA
A

Lateral projection

33
Q

What study demonstrated the noninferiority of Edoxaban over Warfarin in nonvalvular A-fib?

A

Engage AF-TIMI 48

  • Primary Outcome - systemic or embolic event (Modified intention to treat) - p < 0.001
    • Warfarin - 1.5% / year
    • High dose (60mg) - 1.18% / year
    • Los dose (30mg) - 1.61% / year
  • Major Bleeding - p < 0.001
    • Warfarin - 3.43% / year
    • High dose (60mg) - 2.75% / year
    • Los dose (30mg) - 1.61% / year
34
Q

What did the RE-VERSE AD trial show?

A
  • Clinical Question
    • Among patients receiving dabigatran who develop serious bleeding or need an urgent invasive procedure, does idarucizumab reverse the anticoagulatnt effects of dabigatran?
  • Bottom Line
    • Among patients receiving dabigatran who develop serious bleedin or need an urgent invasive procedure, idarucizumab reverses the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran within minutes of administration
35
Q

What is the reversal agent for Dabigatran?

A

Idarucizumab (Praxbind)

  • monoclonal antibody fragment that binds dabigatran
  • rapidly normalizes hemostasis and reduces levels of circulating dabigatran in patients who had serious bleeding or required urgent procedure (RE-VERSE AD)
  • Class I recommendation
36
Q

What is the reversal agent for Rivaroxaban and Apixaban?

A

Andexanet alfa (Andexxa)

  • coagulation factor Xa [recombinant], inactivated-zhzo
  • bioengineered, recombinant modified protein designed to serve as an antidote against direct factor Xa inhibitors
    *
37
Q

Which NOAC is able to be removed with Hemodialysis?

A

Dabigatran

38
Q

What did the AFFIRM trial show?

A
  • Clinical Question:
    • Among patients with A-fib and a high risk of stroke or death, what are the effects of rate control versus rhythm control on mortality?
  • Bottom Line:
    • In patients with nonvalvular AF, there is no survival benefit between rate and rhythm control, but rhythm trends toward increased mortality
39
Q

What were the AFFIRM study outcomes:

  • Primary
A

5 year mortality

  • Rate control - 25.9%
  • Rhythm control - 26.7%
  • P = 0.08
40
Q

What were the AFFIRM study outcomes:

  • Secondary (notable)
A
  • Hospitalization:
    • 73% vs. 80% - p < 0.001
  • ​Ischemic strokes
    • ​5.5% vs. 7.1% (p = 0.79)
      • mostly in patients whom warfarin had been stopped or INR subtherapeutic
  • Torsades, PEA, Bradycardia
    • ​all in favor of rate control
41
Q

Which NOAC has the greatest degree of renal excretion?

A

Dabigatran (Pradaxa)

  • 80% renal excretion
42
Q

What is the recommended dose reduction for Apixaban (Eliquis)?

Dose?

A
  • Age > 80 years

  • Serum Cr > 1.5 mg/dl
  • 2.5mg BID
43
Q

What is the recommended dose reduction for Rivaroxaban in renal impairment?

Renal function cutoff?

A

44
Q

What is the mechanism of action of edoxaban?

A

factor Xa inhibitor

45
Q

What is the recommended renal function cutoff/dose reduction for Edoxaban?

A
  • CrCl 51-95 mL/min –> 60 mg daily
  • CrCl 15-50 mL/min –> 30mg daily
  • CrCl < 15 or > 95 mL/min –> not recommended
46
Q

Define supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)

A

arrhythmia that requires the nonventricular cardiac tissues for maintenance of tachycardia

47
Q

What are the most common SVT’s?

A
  • AVNRT (60%)
  • AVRT (30%)
  • AT (10%)
48
Q

What is the best way to differentiate:

49
Q

What is the best way to dist

A
50
Q

What clinical features can help distinguish between SVT’s?

A

character of symptom onset
