A

Look at h/m ratio. If greater than 2/1

34
Q

If you have heart failure and angina

A

Get angiography

35
Q

Impact of viability

A

If you have viability

  1. Predicts mortality
  2. Predicts improvement
  3. Viability imaging predicts outcomes

Multivessel cad: pci versus bypass

Less than 10% had HF

38

A

No difference in medicine or surgery
Ef <35
Could not have left main disease.

39
Q

Who should have Cabg

A

Left main or equivelant, plad with 2 or 3 v disease

Significant viability

40
Q

Mitral valve surgery

A
  1. Should not do if secondary to ventricular dilation.
41
Q

Indications for as surgery

A

Symptoms, low ef, undergoing Cabg

42

A

2a to do dobutamine.

43

Q

Aortic insufficiency guidelines

A

Class I symptomatic or asymptotic if ef < 50.
