Torsades De Pointes
-V tach with prolonged QT, irregular -Looks crazy...how are you alive
199
Right Bundle Branch Block
-delayed depolarization of RV -right lead (V1): "M" in QR, deep S -Left lead (V6): "W" in S wave
200
R-Wave to find HR
-add up r waves in one strip x 6= HR
201
Left Bundle Branch Block
-delayed depolarization of LV -right lead (V1): "W" in R wave -Left lead (V6): "M" in R wave -anomally always at tip of QRS
202
1st Degree AV Block
-husband is late but comes home, long PR interval -from SA node -slow HR
203
2nd Degree AV Block : Type 1
-husband is later and later and then doesn't come home -longer PR interval then dropped QRS -AV node
204
2nd Degree AV Block : Type 2
-husband randomly doesn't come home -normal PR intervals -randomly dropped QRS -Bundle of his -DONT WORK WITHOUT PACEMAKER
205
3rd Degree AV Block
-normal p wave unrelated to QRS, no correlation of QRS -random p waves -DONT WORK WITHOUT PACEMAKER
206
Percutaneous Revascularization Procedures
-revascularize myocardium 1. Angioplasty 2. Arthrectomy 3. Stenting
207
Angioplasty
-balloon inflated to push plaque against lumen -stent then put in -prone to bleeding -5-7days no exercise
208
Arthrectomy
-larger plaque buildup, cut out the plaque
209
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
-CABG -open heart surgery -place another vessel from one spot to bypass blockage (radial arteries, saphenous veins, mammary arteries)
210
Cardiac Complications
-infection -sternal precautions -scar tissue -Myocardial Stunning: low cardiac output -Arryhmias -Bleeding: migh need blood transfusions -Neurologic Complications
211
CABG Complications
-Renal failure: 5-10% -Pleural Effusions: 90% -Pericardial Effusion
212
Sternal Precautions
-limit movement for 6-8 weeks -gentle coughing -move "in the tube": keep arms to the side -infection control
213
Intraortic Balloon Pump
-severe heart failure; shock -restore CO -inserted in femoral (bedrest) and axillary (might be allowed to exercise) to ascending aorta -balloon inflates and deflates to increase CO by 40%
214
Valve Replacements
-aortic most common (pulmonary valve to replace aortic, aortic cannot be repaired) -Metal: requires life long blood thinners -Bovine: reduce stroke risk
215
Arrhythmia Procedures
-Ablation: burn off cells causing arrhythmias -Pacemaker Implant: need to know rate, what makes it come off -Defibrillator: prevent arrhyhmias
216
Peripheral Vascular Interventions
-Endarectomy: plaque removed -Aneurysm repair
