CR&R Final Flashcards

Q

What is shown here in this photo? What may it increase the risk of?

A

Ventricular fibrosis (likely secondary to MI, dead tissue -> replaced with fibrotic tissue)

It can increase the risk of systemic thromboembolism (dead tissue doesn’t contract, leading to blood pooling)

Q

A systolic murmur with a blurred S2, which is reduced by handgrip is indicative of what valvular disease?

A

Aortic stenosis

31
Q

Why does a handgrip/valsalva maneuver decrease the murmur in aortic stenosis?

A

The increased SVR translates to a higher afterload, with the ventricles unable to eject their normal amount of blood, which reduces the flow over the stenotic valve

32
Q

A late systolic ejection murmur usually has what etiology?

A

Mitral valve prolapse (Barlow’s syndrome)

*A notable feature of Marfan’s syndrome

33
Q

What can help to increase the intensity of a late systolic ejection murmur such as that due to mitral valve prolapse?

A

Squatting, which increases preload and LV volume in order to better exaggerate the murmur

34
Q

Using Left ventriular pressure versus atrial pressure, when does tension near its maximum?

A

As LV pressure > atrial pressure

35
Q

What are the four types of shock?

A

Hypovolemic
Cardiogenic
Distributive
Obstructive

36
Q

What are the expected changes in RAP, SVR, and CO in hypovolemic shock?

A

Increased: SVR
Decreased: RAP, CO

37
Q

How is hypovolemic shock treated?

A

Restore normal volume status (i.e. isotonic IV fluids, blood products etc)

38
Q

What is the expected change in PCWP, SVR, and CO in cardiogenic shock?

A

Increased: PCWP, SVR
Decreased: CO

39
Q

What is the treatment for cardiogenic shock?

A

1) Improve contracility with inotropes (dobutamine)
2) Diuresis
3) PCI for acute MI, or mechanical circulatory support in HF

40
Q

What are the expected changes in RAP, SVR, and SvO2 in distributive shock?

A

Increased: SvO2
Decreases: RAP, SVR

41
Q

What is distributive shock?

A

Hemodynamic derangement of inability to maintain vascular tone (low arteriolar/venous tone/low DBP)

42
Q

What are the three classic types of distributive shock?

A

1) Septic shock
2) Anaphylactic shock
3) Neurogenic shock

43
Q

What are the three treatments for septic shock?

A

1) Antimicobials to target infection ASAP
2) Increase preload with Iv fluids (i.e. LR)
3) Increased MAP with vasopressors (NE is first line)

44
Q

How can anaphylaxis lead to shock?

A

IgE binds to mast cells/basophils leading to massive histamine release -> dilation of arterioles and veins, tachycardia, hypotension etc

45
Q

How is anaphylactic shock treated?

A
46
Q

What is neurogenic shock? How is it diagnosed? How is it treated?

A
47
Q

What are the expected changes in RAP, SVR, and CO in obstructive shock?

A

Increased: RAP, SVR
Decreased: CO

48
Q

What are three possible causes of obstructive shock?

A
49
Q

What are the appropriate treatments for the three possible causes of obstructive shock?

A
50
Q

Why does hyperkalemia lead to the changes on MAP seen in A (black is normal, green is hyperkalemia)?

A

Hyperkalemia increases the resting MP from around -85 to less negative (maybe -60) and thus repolarization is achieved more quickly

51
Q

What pathways (G protein and second messenger) are used by alpha 1 and 2 as well as beta 1 and 2 receptors?

A
52
Q

What are the four classic features of tetrology of fallot?

3) Hepatitis B
4) Pseudoaneurysm
