ACCsap Flashcards
Chylous pericardial effusion after surgery
Try diet with medium chain triglycerides
Most common cardiac mass?
Malignant metastasis
Factor V Leiden
Causes activated protein c resistance and is autosomal dominant. Low lifetime risk of DVT.
Contraindicated with dofetilide
Hctz, increases dofetilide concentration
Avoid these medications with ticagrelor
Rifampin Phenytoin Carbamazepine Phenobarbital Dexamethasone
Contraindications to treadmill stress
Preexcitation
LBBB
paced ventricular rhythm
>1 mm st depressions
Symptomatic mesenteric ischemia meds
Needs statin regardless of LDL
Does not need warfarin or DOAC
Rf ablation vs cryoablation
RF more permanent but higher risk of permanent heart block
Coronary anolomy associated with TOF
Lad off rca or right sinus
Vorapaxar
Inhibits PAR-1, thrombin receptor on plt.
Increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage, contraindicated in stroke or TIA.
Serve-HF
Harm associated with adaptive servoventilation in patients with heart failure and central sleep apnea
Best to optimize HF therapy to treat Cheyne stokes respirations
Carney complex
Nevi
Other tumors
Endocrinopathies
Myxomas
Cardiac fibroma
More common in kids
Arrthymia medically refractory
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
Cardiac fibromas
Bifid ribs
Rhabdomyoma
Tuberous sclerosis
Side effect of VEGF inhibitors like bevacizumab
Hypertension
Preferred tx is ace-I or dihydropyridine CCB
Chronic HTN in pregnancy
Goal is same, less than 140/90
Waveform in constriction vs tamponade
Steep y descent- constriction
Rapid early filling
Blunted y descent - tamponade
No early diastolic filling
Tuberculous pericardial effusion
Adenosine deaminase > 40, elevated protein, and high LDH
Pulmonary arterial hypertension numbers
Mean PA > 25
PCWP < 15 (normal LV filling pressure)
PVR >=3 units
Exercise mean PA >30-35
PVR = TPG/CO TPG = MEAN PA - PCWP
In high risk PAH patients, what is first line drug?
Epoprostenol
Goal for PH patients walk distance with treatment
> 380-440m
Class IV pulmonary hypertension
Syncope defines class 4
Vasodilators in PHTN
Nifedipine, amlodipine, diltiazem
NOT VERAPAMIL!!!
Cilostazol contraindicated in…
Heart failure. It’s a PDE inhibitor, can lead to arrhythmic death
Fix a popliteal artery aneurysm at
> 2 cm
Post exercise ABI
Drop by 20% or ankle pressure drop by >30 mmHg
Colesevelam effect on labs
Can lower LDL and A1C
May raise triglycerides
With HIV hyperlipidemia
Use pravastatin
Can use rosouvastatin
Ivabradine contraindications
Liver disease
Qt prolonging meds
Ranolazine contraindications
Liver disease
Qt prolonging meds
Syntax score in -
LM
THREE VESSEL
LM: 33, bypass superior
THREE VESSEL: 22, bypass superior
Blunted Y descent
Rapid x and y
Blunted x
Tamponade
Constriction
Restrictive CM
Torsades
EAD
Cryoballoon vs rf ablation
Similar efficacy and complication rate
More phrenic nerve injury Right phrenology nerve
Macrolide antibiotics
Block Ikr so can prolong QT interval
SCD with swimming
Long qt 1 - iks mutation, loss of function in potassium channel
Amiodarone and warfarin
DECREASE dose of warfarin
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors
Hypertension
Checkpoint inhibitors
Myositis and myocarditis
Fabry’s inheritance pattern
X linked
Scimitar syndrome
Hypoplastic right lung
Rlpv to ivc
Patent ductus with pulmonary htn hands and feet
Pink hands blue feet
LBBB on resting ECG
Exercise echo or pharm MPI - class 1
CCB as anti anginal
Verapamil and diltiazem, not the dihydropyridine ones
Pioglitazone
Can increase risk of HF
In stable ischemic HD
Plavix 6 months
No ticagrelor or prasugrel
