54
Q

What does murmur louder on expiration suggest about murmur

A

Its on the left side

55
Q

What would you consider in patient with pan systolic murmur but no signs of valve defects

A

Ventricular septal defect

56
Q

How to differentiate between AVNRT and AVRT

A

In tachycardia they look exactly the same so when slow heart down the abnormality will be seen if its AVRT, if not then will be normal. Heart slowed by vagal manoevers and adenosine

57
Q

What abnormalities will be seen on ECG if AVRT

A

Short PR

Delta wave

58
Q

When can delta wave only be seen

A

Sinus rythm

59
Q

Differences in focus between flutter and fibrillation

A

Flutter- single ectopic focus which can be ablated

Fib- no focus

60
Q

Management plan for haemodynamically stable SVT

A

Vagal maooeuvres

Adenosine with cardiac monitor

61
Q

What must be treatment for anyone arrythmia haemodynamically unstable

A

DC cardioversion

62
Q

Management Plan For A Patient With Acute Fast AF & BP: 120/80

A 
Need to rate and rythm control
Rythm
- if onset less than 48 hours DC cardioversion
- IV flecainide or amiodarone
Rate control
- digoxin or B blocker
Treat underlying cause
63
Q

When wouldn’t you give IV flecainide acute fast AF

A

Structural heart disease

64
Q

What would you give for acute fast AF with structural heart abnormality

A

IV amiodarone

65
Q

A

3-4 weeks- in mean time anticoagulate

66
Q

What do you give with CHADVASC score above 1

A

Warfarin and LMWH

67
Q

What do you give for CHAD VASC score of 1

A

DC cardioversion can be given to any haemodynamically unstable patient wheras defibrillation for people in VF

73

A

Over 2mm deep or over 1mm wide

Suggest old infarcts

76
Q

How to look for previous infarcts on ECG

A

Pathological Q waves

77
Q

What does digoxin toxicity look like on ECG

A

ST depression + inverted T waves in V5-6 (‘reversed tick’) + any arrhythmia

78
Q

How does hyperkalaemia appear on ECG

A

Tall, tented T waves, widened QRS, absent P waves, prolonged PR interval, bradycardia

79
Q

How does hypokalaemia appear on ECG

A

Small T waves, prominent U wave

80
Q

How does hypocalcaemia appear on ECG

A

Long QT interval

81
Q

How does hypercalcaemia appear on ECG

A

Short QT interval, small T waves

82
Q

What does fixed wide splitting of S2 suggest

A

Atrial septal defect

83
Q

What is fixed wide splitting of S2 best heard with

A

diaphragm

84
Q

What is third heart sound best heard with

A

Bell as high pitched

85

  1. Sit up
  2. 60-100% oxygen
  3. GTN infusion
  4. Diamorphine
  5. IV furosemide

A

VF

Pulseless VT

88
Q

What are unshockable causes of cardiac arrest

A

PEA

Asystole

A

4 ts

4 hs

93
Q

Management for VF or pulseless VT

A 
Shock
CPR 2 mins
