Cardiology Flashcards
(26 cards)
Sign that shows rise in JVP with inspiration
Kussmaul sign
Constrictive pericarditis is associated with what changes in hemodynamics
Rise in LV pressure and decrease in RV pressure with inspiration
Pathophysiology of Long QT syndrome
Loss of function of potassium channels (type 1 and 2) or a gain of function of sodium channels (type 3)
A loud systolic murmur in the setting of known VSD suggests what
Normal RV pressure
Test used to distinguish severe aortic stenosis from pseudostenosis
Dobutamine stress echo
3 findings that suggest afib with an accessory conduction pathway
wide complex tachycardia
irregularly irregular rhythm
varying QRS widths
Heart block that can be induced by placement of a PA catheter
Right BBB
2 antibiotics known to cause long QT
Fluoroquinolones and macrolides
2 electrolytes that cause long QT
low potassium or magnesium
Difference in ACLS for post CABG patient compared to normal
3 Stacked shocks
Call surgeon for resternotomy
Amiodarone and NO EPI (or significantly reduced doses)
Type of MI where complete heart block is more likely
Anterior MI
Preferred presser for HOCM
Phenylephrine
Preferred medication for RVR afib where there could be an accessory pathway
Procainamide
PVR formula
(MPAP - Wedge)/ cardiac output
Temporizing measure in patient with MR acutely from ruptured pap
Balloon pump
Treatment for refractory VT (electrical storm) after amiodarone
Propranolol preferred
Preferred treatment for spontaneous coronary artery dissection in pregnancy
Medical management over revascularization
S3
Floppy LV
S4
Stiff LV
Crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur radiating to carotids
Aortic stenosis
Pansystolic murmur radiating to axilla
Mitral regurgitation
Early diastolic murmur over left sternal edge
Aortic regurg
Mid-diastolic murmur, low pitched, at apex
mitral stenosis
Mid systolic click with mid to late systolic murmur
mitral valve prolapse
