Q

duration anticoagulation post CV

A

4 weeks at first

26
Q

new acc/aha 2023 AF guideline recommends who for rhythm control

3 points from CCS ?

A
  • reduced EF
  • sx AF to improve sx
  • recent dx to reduce progression
  • combination HF + afib
  • QOL impairment , arrythmia induced cardiomyopathy , mutiple recurrence
27
Q

which trial supports rhythm control in afib in CVD

A

east AFNET trial 2020

28
Q

HF <40%, which rhythm control

A

Amiodarone

29
Q

HF >40% , which rhythm control

A

Amiodarone + Sotalol

30
Q

af + CAD , which rhythm control

A

Amio + sotalol + dronedarone

31
Q

no HF, no CAD, which antiarrythmic

A

Amio + sotalol + dronedarone+ flecainide + propafenone

32
Q

what case do you give dronedarone

A

CAD
paroxymal or persistent AF ( not permanent)

33
Q

AF with WPW ?
- unstable

A

electrical cardioversion if unstable

Stable : IV procainamide or ibutilide or electrical CV if stable ( restore SR preferred > rate control, avoid AV nodal blocking agents in pts with evidence of ventricular pre excitation)

34
Q

class 1 indication for pacemaker n in bradyarrythmia

A

SCD prevention
symptomatic

35
Q

other pacemaker consideration in bradyarrhtyhmia ?not class II

A
  • uptittrate GDMT with benefit
  • syncope
36
Q

in young patients , ddx for bradyarrythmia ?

A
  • OSA
  • lyme
  • sarcod
  • genetics
  • electrolyte
  • thyroid
37
Q

for pmp w/ snus node dysfunction, what do you need ?

A

symptoms

38
Q

for pm with acquired AV block, do you need sx ?

A

no

39
Q

mobitsz type 1 ppm, ?

A

no

40
Q

if sarcoid, neuromuscular disease,
- if you need a PPM, what can you also consider and why ?

A

ICD - bcs risk of VT and sudden death

41
Q

when is PPM indicated d’emblee per ESC post MI

A
  • when AVB does not resolve within a waiting period of at least 5 days post MI
42
Q

is a alternating BBB an indication of PPM post MI ?

A

yes

43
Q

candidate for DDD?

A

complete heart block with intact sinus node function

44
Q

AAI candidate ?

A

someone with SSS but AV node conductionb is intact

45
Q

consequence of undersensing pacemaker

A

won’t inhibit anything. can have issues like r on T

46
Q

electrical storm ( vent arrhythmia) defined as what ?
meds to use

A

> 3 episodes
bb non selective, IV amiodarone

47
Q

if stable sustained VT , tx ?

A

DC cardioversion vs procainamide
Amidoarone vs lidocaine

48
Q

polymorphic vt/vf with normal QT
- if ischemia
- no ischemia

A

ACS tx + amio/lido
only amio ( lido for ischemia )

49
Q

prolonged QT with polymoirphic VT/VF , treatment ? if refractory- tx >

A
  • IV mg
  • overdrive pce
  • BB non selective
  • refractory : lidocaine
50
Q

in VT, lead to look for upright QRS?

A

AVR

51

should we do carotid artery imaging in the absence of focal neurological findings in the context of syncope

A

no

52
Q

a tilt table test in syncope done with who

A

if there is a diagnostic uncertainty

53
Q

med option for recurrent and refractory VVS ?
