Q

Main limitation of drug-eluding stents:

  2. V1: absent R, prominent S
  3. V6: broad, notched R
27
Q

A
  1. Wide QRS
  2. V1: rabbit ears
  3. V6: wide, slurred S wave
28
Q

  2. Lead I: R over 15 mm
  3. S in V1 + R in V5/6 equal 35 mm
29
Q

30
Q

Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS) is also known as (X). List three examples of manifestations of this disorder.

A

X = SND (Sinus Node Dysfunction)

  1. Inappropriate rest bradycardia
  2. Chronotropic incompetence
  3. Tachy-Brady syndrome (ex: a-fib overrides SA Node)
31
Q

SA node is diseased and exhibits chronotropic incompetence. What does that mean?

A

Node fails to increase impulse frequency when stimulated by X or SNS

32
Q

Patient with A-fib experiences periods of syncope when tachyarrhythmia suddenly stops due to prolonged period of (X). What is the culprit of this phenomenon?

A

X = asystole

Diseases SA Node results in prolonged recovery period after A-fib stops

33
Q

List the most common intrinsic etiologies that cause SA Node dysfunction

A
  1. Fibrosis (age-related)
  2. Ischemia (CAD)
  3. Surgical trauma
  4. Infiltration (sarcoidosis, amyloidosis)
34
Q

List the most common extrinsic etiologies that cause SA Node dysfunction

A
  1. Drugs that suppress pacemaker (b-blockers, CCB)

2. Metabolic

35
Q

2o Mobitz Type I: block occurs in (X) part of conduction system. Treat with (Y).

A 
X = AV Node
Y = exercise or Atropine
36
Q

2o Mobitz Type II: block occurs in (X) part of conduction system. Treat with (Y).

A 
X = His-Purkinje
Y = permanent pacemaker
37
Q

Junctions escape rhythm presents as (narrow/wide) QRS. And ventricular escape rhythm?

A

Narrow;

Wide
