Q

membranous VSD

A

conoventricular

deficiency of membranous septum

19
Q

inlet defect VSD

A

AV canal

down’s

20
Q

muscular VSD

A

in trabecular system

21
Q

small/restrictive VSD

A

orifice diameter < or = 25% aortic annulus diameter

no LV volume overload
no pulmonary HTN

22
Q

moderate size VSD

A

orifice 25-75% diameter

mild-moderate volume overload

23
Q

large VSD

A

orifice 75% diameter

moderate L>R shunts with LV volume overload

pulmonary HTN
> eisenmenger

24
Q

tetralogy of fallot

A

VSD
aorta overrides
concentric RV hypertrophy
RVOT obstruction

25
Q

causes of AV block

A

-vagal tone increase
-fibrosis of conduction system (50%)
-IHD
-cardiomyopathy and myocarditis
-congenital heart disease
familial AV block (auto dom)

26
Q

latrogenic

A

Dr. caused AV block
-digitalis, non-DHP CCBs, beta blockers, amiodarone, adenosine

cardiac surgery
catheter
alcohol septal ablation

27
Q

first degree AV block

A

PR interval >0.2

decreased CO

28
Q

progressive PR interval prolongation

A

mobitz type I second degree AV block

29
Q

PR interval unchanged, but get P wave that doesn’t conduct

A

mobitz type II second degree AV block

30
Q

P and QRS dissociation

A

third degree AV block

usually need a pacemaker

31
Q

rheumatic heart disease

A

mitral valve stenosis

32
Q

indication for pacing

A

wide QRS

33
Q

most common arrhythmia

A

atrial fib

more in men, increases with age

reduced CO - decreased diastolic filling time

34
Q

risk factors for A fib

A

hypertensive heart disease
CHD
RF

35
Q

AF that terminates spotaneously or within 7 days, may recur

A

paroxysmal AF

36
Q

AF that fails to terminate within 7 days

A

persistent

require pharm or cardioversion

37
Q

AF longer than 12 months

A

long standing persistant

38
Q

patients with persistant AF where joint decision is made to no longer control rhythm

A

permanent AF

39
Q

palpitations, syncope, dyspnea, fatigue

A

AF

40
Q

rate control for AF

A

patient anti-coag

-rate controlled by AV blockers

41
Q

rhythm control for AF

A

anticoag and restore NSR by meds
-or electrical cardioversion

TEE used to rule out LA thrombus prior to cardioversion

42
Q

CHA2DS2 - Vasc

A
CHF
HTN
Age 65-74 1 point 
>75 2 points
DIabetes
Stroke 2 points

Vasc disease Hx +1
Female +1

all 9 15% per year for A-fib stroke risk

43
Q

PVCs

A

with syncope = serious**

very common complaint

  • not really that big of a deal
  • unless with acute coronary syndromes or MI

reassurance is mainstay of treatment

beat after pause - very forceful
