oxytocic properties/preterm labor

38

amio

40
Q

Class III recs for SVT Rx in pregnant pt’s

A

amio

41
Q

what BB can you NEVER use in pregnancy

42
Q

what is NOT associated with RVOT VT?

A

structural heart dz

43
Q

ECG findings for RVOT VT

A
  • LBBB-like

- tall R in II, III, F

44
Q

Rx for 1st episode of RVOT VT

45
Q

Rx for RVOT VT refractory to meds or unstable or with syncope/pre-syncope

46
Q

which drug used pre-transplant can cause arrhythmia post-OHT?

47
Q

Ddx of arrhythmia etiology in OHT

A 
rejection
Pre-OHT amio
suture lines (AFL)
surgical trauma to SAN/AVN
accelerated atherosclerosis/preservation ischemia
48
Q

what is the most common EKG abnormality post-OHT?

A

Incomplete -RBBB

49
Q

Is VT/VF common post-OHT

A

No. look for other causes (MI/rejection/CM)

50
Q

are AF/AFL commonly assoc. w/ rejection post-OHT?

51
Q

what to do if you see AF/AFL post-OHT

A

Bx–>steroids

52
Q

why don’t you give adenosine post-OHT

A

due to adenosine supersensitivity (5-fold inc in response by SAN/AVN after loss of parasympathetics)

53
Q

what determines the onset/prognosis of tachycardia-induced CM?

A

rate and duration

54
Q

Rx for Tachycardia CM

A

rate control
CHF OMT
ablation

55
Q

can you reverse all types of tachycardia-CM?

56
Q

How quickly is Tachycardia-CM reversed?

A

48hrs, full resolution in 2 weeks

not all TCM are reversible

57
Q

PVC burden of ?% distinguishes CM vs. nl EF? what to do if PVC burden > 10%?

A

40%

ischemic w/u

58
Q

What type of SVT is WPW?

59
Q

Name the type of AVRT (orthodromic or antidromic):

Down AVN, up bypass tract, narrow complex

A

Orthodromic

60
Q

Name the type of AVRT (orthodromic or antidromic):

Down bypass tract, up AVN, wide complex

A

Antidromic

61
Q

Which SVT does. It require AVN, His-purkinje, or accessory pathway for its initiation or maintenance?

62
Q

Mech of RVOT VT

A

cAMP mediated triggered activity

63
Q

Precipitates for RVOT VT

A

Exercise
Stress
Caffeine

64
Q

Why is the initial treatment of RVOT VT counterintuitive?

A

Because you give BB or CCB, NOT ablation/ICD
