Cardio Flashcards
(153 cards)
Cause of patent truncus arteriosus
failure of neural crest cells to form aorticopulmonary septum
Improper separation of aorticopulmonary septum
transposition of the great vessels
Drug for closure of PDA
indomethacin
Drug to maintain ductus arteriosus
PGE1 and PGE2
Cause of hoarseness/dysphagia with heart pathology
dilated L atrium
Drug class to decrease preload on heart
nitroglycerin (venodilators)
Drug class to decrease afterload on heart
hydralazine (vasodilators)
S3 heart sound
rapid filling (mitral regurg)/tensing of chorade tendiae
early diastole
“Kentucky”
S4 heart sound
L atrium pushing against stiff LV wall
late diastole
“Tennessee”
Wide S2 splitting
delay of RV emtpying
RBBB/pulmonic stenosis
Fixed S2 splitting
seen in ASD
increased RA and RV volumes
Paradoxical splitting of S2
delayed LV emtpying
seen in aortic stenosis/LBBB
during expiration
Sound for mitral/tricuspid regurg
holosystolic blowing murmur
assc with rheumatic fever/endocarditis
Sound for Aortic stenosis
crescendo-descrescendo systolic following ejection click
radiates to carotids
Sound for VSD
holosystolic machine like murmur
Sound for MVP
late systolic descrendo murmur
Sound for aoritc regurg
high pitched blowing diastolic decrescendo murmur
Sound for mitral stenosis
delayed rumbling in late diastole
secondary to rheumatic fever
Sound for PDA
continuous machine like murmur
Phases of ventricular AP
0-Na+ upstroke
1-K+ open,Na+ close
2-Ca2+ influx/K+ efflux balance (plateau)
3-K+ massive efflux repolarizes
4-high K+ permeability (flat hyperpolarized stage)
Phases of pacemaker AP
0-Ca2+ upstroke (Na+ closed, slow conductivity)
2-no plateau
3-Ca2+ inactivated/K+ efflux repolarizes
4-slow depolarization from spontaneous Na+ channels (I funny channels)
Normal PR interval
less than 200ms
Normal AV node delay
100ms
EKG with only irregular narrow QRS complexes
Atrial fibrillation
