38
what is intermittent claudication?
painful ischemic condition caused by peripheral atherosclerosis of arteries
39
what is intermittent claudication?
painful ischemic condition caused by peripheral atherosclerosis of arteries
40
physio of smooth muscle contraction?
1. membrane depolarizes and VG Ca channels open 2. calcium binds to calmodulin. 3. ca+calmodulin complex activates myosin light chain kinase 4. kinase phosphorylates myosin light chains 5. the light chains facilitate cross bridge formation and SM contraction
41
What is Diltiazem and used for?
class 4 antiarrhythmic. prolongs PR interval. esp in AV nodal cells.. useful in preventing nodal arrhythmias
42
How do Ca++ channel blockers work and what are they used for?
useful for HTN becasue they inhibit Ca++ influx into vascular SM cells. decr. vascular tone
43
Amiodarone is first line med for what?
V fib after an MI
44
Would you give a class 1C antiarrhythmic to a post MI?
NOOO! associaed with mortality. it works at phase 3 of action potential and has no effect in AP duration. They're used in v tachy, or intractable supraventricular tachy
45
What do you use Procainamide to treat?
it is a type 1A antiarrhythmic. used for V fib. increases AP duration and QT interval. often used for re-enterant and ectopic supraventricular and ventricular tachy.
46
common side effect of procainamide?
drug induced lupus
47
digoxin tox?
yellow-green vision, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, arrythmias.
48
Digoxin use?
chronic heart failure. control a fib (NOT v fib)
49
Digoxin mechanism?
inhibits Na/K ATPase. leading to indirect inhibition of na/ca exchanger. incr in intracellular ca. positive inotrophy
50
familial hyercholesterolemia- inheritance
auto. dom
51
xanthomas in achilles tendom, arcus lipoides, and very high LDL level...what i it?!
familial hypercholesterolemia or type IIa dyslipidema
52
xanthomas in achilles tendom, arcus lipoides, and very high LDL level...what i it?!
familial hypercholesterolemia or type IIa dyslipidema
53
familial dyslipdemia- type 1- hyper chylomicronemia
``` auto recessive. lipoprotein lipase deficiency altered APO C-II. causes pancreatitis, hepatosplenomegal, eruptive/ ruritic xanthomas no increased risk for atherosclerosis. creamy layer in supernatant ```
54
familial dyslipdemia- type 2a- familial hyper cholesterolemia
``` auto dom. absent/defective LDL receptors accelerated atherlo. (MI before 20) tendon xanthomas corneal arcus ```
55
familial dyslipdemia- type 4-hyper triglyceridemia
auto dom hepatic overproduction of VLDL may cause acute pancreatitis
56
Hep B associated with which vasculitis
polyarteritis nodosa.
57
what type of hypersensitivity is polyarteritis nodosa?
type 3. complex deposition in medium sized vessels ANCA negative
58
statin + fibrate what side effect?
rhabdomyolysis
59
pt has high BUN and creatinine, recent oliguria, what do you see on ECG?
acute renal failure, can't secrete potassium. leads to hyperkalemia. see peaked T waves
60
bilateral renal artery stenosis....what do you see on ECG?
=> incr in RAS=> incr in aldo => incr in secretion of K=> extreme hypoK => U waves
61
systolic flow murmur because of high | fixed split S2
ASD, most likely from a patent foramen ovale.
62
first choice antihypertensive in diabetic
ACE inhibitors! because renal protective
63
What can a thiazide toxicity cause?
mech: inhibits Na resorption in early DT. Can cause high lipids, uric acid, calcium
64
What can gitelman syndrome cause?
mimics thiazide tox. mutation in thiazide sensitive nacl co transporter in DCT. Hyper GLUC (glycemia, lipidemia, uric acid, calcium)
65
Side effect of spironolactone (K sparing diuretic)
gynecomastia. inhibition of androgen receptor signaling
66
what is libman- sacks endocarditis (LSE)?
associated with SLE. deposition of small sterile vegetations made of fibrin and inflamm cells. may rarely embolize.
67
what is libman- sacks endocarditis (LSE)?
associated with SLE. deposition of small sterile vegetations made of fibrin and inflamm cells. may rarely embolize.
68
how does nitroglycerin work?
reduce O2 use by heart and incr O2 supply to heart. (systemic venodilation, dilate coronary vessels
69
would you give digoxin to pt with acute coronary syndrome?
NO! digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that increases cardiac ionotropy. it will increase O2 demands
70
what would a carotid sinus massage do?
stim carotid baroreceptors. incr para, and slow HR (decr SA and AV firing rate)
71
Tx for septic shock
Norepi (priority is to stabalize BP)
72
Wernike's aphasia. where is the stroke?
MCA (because Wernike's is in left superior temporal gyrus)
73
Wernike's aphasia. where is the stroke?
MCA (because Wernike's is in left superior temporal gyrus)
74
valvular damage, chorea, fever, polyarthritis
rheumatic fever!
75
How do beta blockers decrease O2 demand of heart?
decr HR, decr contractility, decr afterload, secondary to decreased cardiac output and BP. Decreased symp tone will decrease inward Na current, slow phase 4 depol, and prolong diastole. the coronary arteries are filled in this phase.
76
what do alpha receptors do?
vasoconstriction of arteries, increases BP
77
What do Beta 1 receptors do?
incr contractile force and HR
78
what unintended side effect does Norepi have and why?
norepi will increase venous return to heart (mostly stimulate alpha 1) by vasoconstriction and increased heart contractility, incr in stroke valume. So there will be reflex bradycardia
