LVH with clinical manifestations and hemodynamic abnormalities

  1. LV outflow obstruction

Study These Flashcards

25
Why is ACA not caught early?
We don't regularly cath kids, and there are rarely symptoms prior to a severe event.
26
what are indicators of marfans syndrome
* positive family hx * suspicious skeletal findings or ophthalmologic conditions * progressive scoliosis * dysrhythmias * long thin facies & down slanting palpebral fissures * Bifid uvula and high arched palate w crowded dentition
27
What is the most serious concern with Marfan's?
Progressive aortic root dilation | also can cause MVP and progressive or acute valvular incompetence
28
Can a student athlete with stage 1 HTN participate in sports? Stage 2?
* Stage 1 with no end-organ damage can with appropriate subspecialist referral. * Stage 2 must lower BP. | ask about use of stimulants like caffeine

Status asthmaticus due to exercise induced bronchoconstriction
30

31
what is the pathophysiology behind exercise induced bronchoconstriction
* when you exercise you breathe faster and deeper d/t increased oxygen demands. * breathing through mouth causes air to be cooler * dry/cold air triggers airway narrowing
32
What is the main environmental trigger for airway narrowing?
Dry/cold air but also pollution, pollen, smoke, fumes ect.
33
How do we tx exercise induced bronchoconstriction?
* Albuterol inhaler 20 min prior to exercising * Singulair/montelukast * Proper warmup * stay aware of respiratory status

43
How do you restore the HPO axis in a female athlete?
* Restrict exercise by 25% * Increase caloric intake by 200-600 calories * F/u in 1-2 weeks ## Footnote Can resume exercise fully if wt gain continues, but increase caloric intake accordingly
44
What are the 3 recommendations for participation in sports for kids?
