Q

test for esophageal varices

A

UGI endoscopy

18
Q

treat esophageal varices

A

volume replete, PPI, abx for SBP

beta blockers

if active: octreotide, TIPS, ligatio

19
Q

Melt score

A

to determine liver transplant need

based on Cr, bili, INR

20
Q

non cirrhotic causes of portal HTN

A

cardiac dz- right heart failure

venous flow obstruction- budd-chiari, thrombosis

acute liver sz- alcoholic hepatitis

malignancy of liver

portal vein thrombosis

21
Q

ascites treatment

A

primary: less sodium intake, spirincolactone + lasix, paracentesis
secondary: TIPS

22
Q

ascites complications

A

tense ascites- CV compromise

hepatic hydrothorax- resp compromise

ubilical hernia- bowel incarceration or spontaneous rupture

23
Q

portosystemiatic enceophalopathy vs fulminant hepatic failure

A

both forms of hepatic-induced encephalopahty due to increased ammonia

PSE: cirrhosis cause, gradual onset

FHFL acute liver failure cause, rapid onset

24
Q

hepatic encepahlopathy treatment

A

lactulose

abx

restrict protein

25
Q

hepatorenal pathophys

A

inc CO, dec SVR –> sympathetic system, inc RAS

–> renal vasoconstriction

–> decrease GFR

26
Q

hepatorenal syn treatment

A

hemodialysis, transplant

alpha agonists- increase BP
albumin
octreotide

27
Q

S3 S4 heard best where

A

at apex

28
Q

when is HOCM murmur louder and softer

A

softer- LV vol inc- squat, handgrip, passive leg raise

louder- LV vol dec- valsalva, standing

29

when is there paradoxical splitting

A

anything that makes aortic valve late

RBBB, HOCM, AS, left sided HF

30
Q

when is there a soft S1?

A

aortic regurgitation

1st degree AV block

31
Q

when is S1 loud?

A

mitral stenosis- LA larger keeps mitral valve open longer

Short PR interval

MR, TR, VSD

33
Q

where are TR and VSD best heard

A

LLSB

34
Q

where is MR best heard

A

at apex, radiates to axilla

35
Q

where is AR best heard

A

LUSB

39
Q

where is AS best heard

A

RUSB

40
Q

severity of AR and MS determined by

A

length of blowing- shorter is worse
