25
What are the affects of cocaine on myocardium
may cause vasospasm leading to MI arrhythmia myocarditis/cardiomyopathy from released catecholamines
26
when can peripartum cardiomyopathy occur
between last mo of pregnancy and first 5 mo after delivery
27
What is takosubo cardiomyopathy
stress, apical ballooning or broken heart
28
what ar Sx of takotsubo cardiomyopathy
CP, SOB, syncope
29
what gene mutations can cause genetic HCM
myosin heavy chains proteins regulating Ca handling autosomal dominant
30
What type of dysfunction (systolic or diastolic) does HCM cause
diastolic
31
what are symptoms and signs of HCM
SOB, chest pain, syncope, arrhythmias | systolic murmur along left sternal border
32
What maneuvers increase/decrease systolic murmur along left sternal border
increase with valsalva menuever/upright | decrease with squatting
33
What are causes of non-genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
similar to HCM but more generalized thickening with no disproportional involvement of the septum aortic stenosis-related hypertrophy
34
What are Sx of non-genetic hypertrophic CM
diastolic dysfunction: SOB, edema | obstruction: syncrope, chest pain
35
what is restrictive cardiomyopathy chracterized by:
impaired filling causing predominately diastolic dysfunction
36
what are the infiltrative diseases that cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
amyloidosis | sarcoidosis
37
what systemic storage diseases cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
hemochromatosis, glycogen storage diseases
38
what fibrotic and endomyocardic conditions can cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
fibrotic: radiation, scleroderma endomyocardiac: lofflers endocarditis, endomyocardial fibrosis
39
What is pulmonary BP usually measured at
20/10
40
What are the 4 general categories that can cause pulm HTN
pulm arterial HTN L heart disease Cor Pulmonale Chronic thrombotic/embolic disease
41
What drugs are assoc with Pulm HTN
fenfluramine (weight loss) amphetamines cocaine
42
how can L heart disease lead to pulm HTN
L ventricular failure, increase volumes, increase pressures which increase pulm a P and so hypertrophy and ventricular failure on R side

anemia, AV fistula | conditions that dec TPR (beri beri, sepsis)
46
Clinical manifestations of L sided HF
``` paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea elevated pulm capillary wedge P pulmonary congestion restlessness confusion, orthopnea, tachy, exertional dyspnea, fatigue, cyanosis ```
47

50
what are Sx of forward failure
``` L HF usually hypotenstion weakness exercise intolerance end organ damage ```
51

53
What CHF physical findings can be seen in neck region
JVD hepato-jugular reflux thyroid enlargement in toxic goiter may be present
54
What PE of CHF patient in lungs
crackles and rales decrease breath sounds at base dullness to percussion tactile fremitus
55
what are heart PE findings in CHF
``` PMI displaced if LV enlarged parasternal lift/heave if RV enlarged arrhythmia common S1 diminished, P2 accentuated with pulm HTN S3 with low EF S4 with diastolic dysfunction ```
56
What other conditions can lead to increased BNP levels
``` old age renal failure cor pulmonale pulm HTN pulm embolism ```
57
What are Kerley B lines on CXR
the whispy looking infiltrate from CHF in lungs
58
What infor can an echo give you
``` size of heart chambers thickness of walls contractility septal defects valvular structures and their integrity intracardiac structures diastolic dysfunction pulm pressures ```
59
What drugs improve mortality in CHF
ACEI, ARB, aldosterone antagonists | Beta blockers: metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, bisoprolol
60
how do beta blockers work in HF
up regulate beta R improving inotropic and chronotropic responsiveness of myocardium imrpoving contractile function reduce level of vasoconstrictors increase contractility reduce myocardial consumption O2 decrease frequency of PVC and sudden cardaic death
61
what medication combination specifically reduces mortality in african americans
hydralasine and nitrate
62
what do the drugs that decrease mortality in CHF have in common
decrease systolic function/ejection fraction
