Q

Hypertension in upper extremities and weak pulses in lower extremities

A

Adult coarctation of the aorta

Collateral circulation develops across the intercostal arteries; engorged arteries cause rib notching

Associated with bicupsid aortic valve

Q

Kills young athletes

A

Sudden cardiac death

19
Q

Subendocardial infarction

A

Area of ischemic necrosis limited to inner 1/2
May occurs as a result of acute plaque change and thrombosis

May result from reduction in systemic blood pressure- shock

20
Q

Transmural infarction

A

Ischemic necrosis involves >50% of the ventricular wall thickness
commonly associated with acute plaque change from thrombosis

21
Q

myocardial stunning

A

prolonged ischemic dysfunction with CHF

Reversible

22
Q

criteria for diagnosing left sided hypertensive heart disease

A

o Left Ventricular Hypertrophy- usually concentric, in the absence of other cardiovascular pathology that may have induced it
o A history of HTN or pathologic evidence of systemic htn in other organs

23
Q

Crescendo-decrescendo murmur

A

aortic stenosis

24
Q

mid-systolic click followed by a regurgitation murmur

A

mitral valve prolapse

25
Q

dilation of annulus and jet lesions

A

mitral valve prolapse

26
Q

Acute rheumatic fever

A
  1. Migratory polyarthritis
  2. Pancarditis- mitral valve vegetations, Aschotf bodies, and pericardial rub
  3. Subcutaneous nodules
  4. Erythema marginatum
  5. Sydenham chorea
27
Q

Most common cause of endocarditis

A

strep viridans

28
Q

Most common cause of endocarditis in IV drug users
