pericardial friction rub
a grating heart sound
pericardial friction rub
give objective cues for pericarditis
arrhythmia
fever
hemoptysis
dyspnea
this drug is used to ‘decrease inflammation of the pericardium’
corticosteroids / nsaids
medication for pericarditis
methylprednisolone
inflammation of the heart muscle
myocarditis
hear sounds in myocarditis
s3 gallop
used to stabilize an irritable heart
antiarrhythmic
inner lining of the heart
endocardium
microorganisms, usually bacteria, enter the bloodstream and attach to the inner lining of the heart, resulting in inflammation
infective endocarditis
painful lesions on palms and soles
janeway lesions
‘disease of the heart muscle’ that makes it harder for your heart to pump
cardiomyopathy
this classification of cardiomyopathy refers to those conditions in which ‘etiology of the disease is idiopathic’
primary cmp
this classification of cardiomyopathy: the cause of myocardial disease is known
secondary cmp
what are the types of cardiomyopathy:
dilated cmp
hypertrophic cmp
restrictive cmp
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
unclassified cmp
the pumping ability of your heart’s main pumping chamber - ‘‘the left ventricle - becomes enlarged (dilated)’’
dilated cardiomyopathy
this involves ‘abnormal thickening of heart muscle’, which make it harder for the heart to work
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
the ‘heart muscle becomes stiff and less flexible’, so it cant expand and fill with blood
restrictive cardiomyopathy
in this rare type of cardiomyopathy, the ‘muscle in the lower right heart chamber is replaced by scar tissue’
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
other cardiomyopathy fall into this category
unclassified cardiomyopathy
