Cardiovascular Flashcards
(26 cards)
Flank pain, hypotension, pulsatile abdominal mass
AAA
Constant sharp cp, worse when lying down
Pericarditis
Digoxin toxicity
Yellow-green vision
Post MI, first line choice
Beta blocker
Elderly with systolic murmur, radiates to carotid
Aortic stenosis, due to calcifications
Diastolic murmur, heard at apex, no radiation
Mitral stenosis
Systolic ejection murmur, heard at base with radiation to left clavicle
Pulmonary stenosis
Systolic murmur heard best at apex with radiation to left axilla
Mital regurgitation
ECG shows ST elevation
MI
ECG records what?
time and voltage
irregular rhythm, rate 60-100bpm, complex are present
sinus arrhythmia
regular rhythm, rate below 60bpm, complex present
sinus bradycardia
regular rhythm, rate greater than 100bpm, complex present
sinus tachycardia
regular rate, 250-350bpm, QRS present, no P wave, looks like ‘sawtooth’
atrial flutter
irregular rhythm, 375-700bpm, QRS slightly present or normal and no P wave
atrial fibrillation
irregular rhythm, rate greater than 300bpm, complex not identifiable
ventricular fibrillation
treatment for V-fib
immediate defibrillation, ventilation and lidocaine
no rhythm, rate complexes
asystole
where is temporary transvenous pacemaker placed?
wire through jugular or subclavian vein
where is V1 placed?
4th intercostal, right sternal border
Where is V6 placed?
mid-axillary, 5th intercostal space
no Q wave or ST evelation, T wave inversion, ST depression
NSTEMI- high risk of later infarction
distal LAD, abnormalities in II, III, aVF
inferior infarct
abnormalities in I, aVL, V5, V6
lateral infarct
