AHD Flashcards
(36 cards)
Hallmark of CAD, squeezing, heavy, burning, lasting 2-10 mins. Substernal pain with radiation to the shoulders, left arm, epigastrium, interscapular area, relieved by rest
Angina
Symptoms of Acquired heart disease
Fatigue, angina, dyspnea, edema, palpitations
Cardinal symptom of left HF ( exertional, Orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dypsnea) cough, hemoptysis
Dyspnea
Common cause of palpitation, seen in mitral stenosis
Atrial fibrillation
Decreased perfusion of the brain
Syncope
Patients w/ cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
Class 3
Patients w/ cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. ordinary physical activity result in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
Class 2
Patients w/ cardiac disease resulting in an inability to carry on any physical activity w/o discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency or the anginal syndrome may be present at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.
Class 4
Patients w/ cardiac disease but w/o resulting limitation of physical activity. ordinary physical activity does not causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
Class 1
Major branches left anterior descending artery
Septal perforators, diagonal
Major branches circumflex artery
Obtuse marginal
Major branches RCA
Post. Descending artery, posterolateral artery
Symptoms of CAD
Angina, exertional dyspnea, epigastric pain, easy fatigability, D in exercise tolerance
Who anastomosed internal mammary to myocardium?
Arthur M. Vineberg
Who used saphenous vein grafts for bypass under CPB support?
Rene G. Favaloro/ Effler
Who- IMA to left anterior descending artery?
George Green
Fundamental cause of coronary artery disease?
Atherosclerosis
What are the 3 distinct changes MVS?
(1) commissural fusion,(2) chordal shortening/ fusion, (3) leaflet fibrosis/ calcification
Auscultatory triad?
Increased first heart sound, opening snap, apical diastolic rumble
Response is LV - dilatation, eccentric hypertrophy leading to cor bovinum
Aortic insufficiency
Almost always the result of rheumatic fever. Septic endocarditis( iv drug users)
Tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency
Blood leaks from the aorta to the ventricle during diastole
Aortic insufficiency
Visible forceful pulses
Waterhammer pulse
Quickly collapsing pulse
Corrigan pulse
