Constrictive pericarditis...
- rigid pericardium not allowing ventricles to expand
- post cardiotomy, viral, radiation
- sx: dyspnea, fatigue, ascites
- Increased Rt/Lft sided pressures
- Normal systolic function
- diastolic fxn : yes early restrictive filling **E' \>12**
- JVP bulge: equalization of diastolic pressures
- Positive square root/dip & plateau
- Heart sounds: **knock aka early 3rd HS**
**- EKG : mostly normal**
**-murmurs less common**
**- BNP \< 100**
**- CXR --\> pericardial calcification**
**- atrial enlargement less common cardiomegally with biatrial enlargement**
**-MRI = thickened pericardium**
**- ECHO = bulging of septum to the left. Mitral annulus E' \> 12cm, respiratory variation 10-40%**
353
Restrictive cardiomyopathy..
- rigid ventricle
- etio: amyloid, endocardial fibrosis, sarcoidosis
- sx: dyspnes, fatigue, ascites
- increased rt & left sided pressures
- normal systolic function
- diastolic fxn, early restrictive filling
- JVP bulge, equalization of diastolic pressures
- Squar root/dip & plateau
- Heart sounds: **3rd HS --\> 4th HS early dz**
**- ekg: low voltage EKG, repolariz abnormalities, ST-T wave changes, AV conduction delays, afib, PACs**
**- BNP \> 400**
**- CXR: cardiomegaly due to atrial enlargement**
**- atrial enlargement: cardiomegaly with Biatrial enlargement more common**
**- MRI: ventricular wall thickening, thickened septum, refractile**
**- ECHO: mitral annulus E' \< 8cm/sec. Resp variation \< 10%**

First step in fast AVNRT is
carotid massage.
next step = adenosine 6mg IV
then 12mg IV
adenosine does not work in afib/flutter
