Describe Paradoxical Splitting
“PAradoxical Splitting”
[Pulmonic Valve closes BEFORE Aortic Valve] which is abnormal
“Taking AP Classes were normal for me”

Which conditions causes a [FIXED Widened S2 Splitting]?
Atrial Septic Defect

A: 1st Choice Replacement Vessel for [L Anterior Descending Coronary Artery] occlusion
B1: Which Vessel is used for MULTIPLE coronary arteries/vessels occlusions
B2: Where is the vessel in B1 located and what are 2 ways it’s accessed?
1st Choice: [Left ITM (Internal Thoracic Mammary) Artery]
B1: MULTIPLE OCCLUSIONS = [Great Saphenous Vein]
B2: Inferolateral to [pubic tubercle] and
accessed in the [medial leg] or [femoral triangle of upper thigh]
[Great Saphenous Vein] empties into the Femoral Vein

What makes up the Femoral Triangle (3)
- [Inguinal Ligament Superiorly]
- Sartorius M. Laterally
- [ADDuctor Longus M. Medially]

What happens to [Cardiac-Vascular Function Curve] Intersection when there’s a:
A: [Change in Cardiac Output]
B: Give 2 examples
A: If there’s a [Change in Cardiac Output] —> Intersection slides along [VVV Curve -**Venous/Volume/Vascular]
Ex: Catecholamines / (HF - MI)

What do these Embryonic Structures form into:
[R Common Cardinal Vein] + [R Anterior Cardinal Vein]
SVC - Superior Vena Cava
“I need a SVC Card”
What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Truncus Arteriosus (2)
[Trunk of Pulm (Pulmonary Trunk)]
&
[Ascending Aorta]
What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Bulbus Cordis
[Smooth OUTFLOW TRACT] of BOTH Ventricles
“Bulbs are smooth”
What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Primitive Atrium
”Trabaca is Primitive in his chamber”
Trabeculated L and R Atria

What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Primitive Ventricle
”Trabeca is Primitive in his chamber”
Trabeculated L and R Ventricles

What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Primitive Pulmonary Vein
[Smooth L Atrium]

What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Sinus Venosus - Left Horn
Coronary Sinus

(found in the AV groove of the Posterior Heart)
What does this Embryonic Structure form into:
Sinus Venosus - Right Horn (2)
[Smooth R Atrium]
AKA [Sinus Venarum]

Pathophysiology for [Tetralogy of Fallot]
[Anterior and Cephalad Deviation] of (Infundibular septum) during embryo —-> VOIR
“VOIR is to have See + Sight + Cry”

Define Permissiveness
[1 Drug with no direct capabilities] Permits and enables a [capable drug] to reach a greater potential :-)
Describe [SHAC Syndrome - Supine hypOtensive Aortocaval Compression]
Pregnant Women > 20 weeks gestation can experience hypOtension when [gravid uterus] (while supine) compresses IVC –> [DEC Venous Return] –> DEC CO
What are the outcomes of Blunt Aortic Injury (2)
Tethered by [Ligamentum Arteriosum] and is fixed and immobile compared to adjacent [Descending Aorta]
A:
- Death
- [Chest or Back Pain] w/SOB and [Widened Mediastinum]
What embryonic Structure does the [Ductus Arteriosus] develop from?
6th Embryonic Aortic Arch

There are 6 Structures that derive from the Aortic Arch.
Name them

SacubiTrill MOA (2)
[Neprilysin Inhibitor] –> Prevents ANP degradation —>
*DEC TPR
*INC GFR –> INC Urinary Output
Name 3 EKG Signs of [Atrial Fibrillation]
- [irregularly irregular R-R intervals] (the already irregular R-R interval will occur at an irregular pace since atrial electrictivity is chaotic)
- Absent or [low-amp fibrillatory] P-waves
- Narrow QRS Complexes

[Atrial Fibrillation] is the most common tachyarrhythmia. It is often precipitated by what 4 things?
“Smh, SAME Afib as before!”
- Acute Systemic Illness (Hyperthyroid / HF / HTN)
- Sympathetic Tone INC
- EtOH - excess
- Mitral Stenosis
Most common [Congenital Heart Defect]
Describe the Mumur.
A: VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect)
B: (when small) = [Holosystolic Harsh Blowing Murmur] auscultated @ [tricuspid area]

Aortic Stenosis
Mumur

[Crescendo-Descrescendo Systolic Ejection Murmur] auscultated @ [Heart Base w/radiation to carotids]
