MC 2 gene HCM
genes are for sarcomeric proteins (thin and thick)
MYH7 (myosin heavy chain) MY Heavy Sevey
MYBPC 3: My Blood Pressure Contractility! 3
3+7=10
MYH7
MC gene HCM (myosin heavy chain) MY Heavy Sevey
MC cause SCD athletes adolescent
HCM (about half)
indications ICD placement in HCM (6)
2+ of the following:
septum > 3cm, prior SCD event (VT/VF), unexplained syncope, NSVT, abnl BP response exercise (<20mmHg), FamHx SCD in 1st deg relative
septal thickness to Dx HCM
> 15mm = 1.6 cm (think 16mm)
OR >13 mm with appropriate family history
traditional indexed PVR cutoff for HTx?
PVRI<6
doxyrubicin max dose
300 mg/m2
thiazide diuretic side effects that separate it from loops
hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia
digoxin drug-drug interaction
amiodarone (less common beta blocker)
amio drug drug interaction
digoxin
ACE cough cause?
blocks breakdown of bradykinin
types of calcineurin inhibitors
tacrolimus and cyclosporin
immunosuppresant antimetabolite
cellcept = mycophenolate (inhibits purine synthesis in lymphocytes) imuran = azothioprine (same, is precursor to 6-MP)
side effect ATG
thrombocytopenia (also fever chills)
side effects tacro
nephro, HKalemia, Sz, glucose intolerance, l’il more PTLD
side effects cyclosporine
gum overgrowth, hair growth, little more rejection
typical Immunesupprasant combo
calcineurin and cellcept (tacro and cellcept)
MOA sirolimus
mTOR inhibitor, reduces T and B sensitivity to IL-2. Seriously Inhbits the TORO by putting limes on its 2 horns (used with renal/rejection, coronary
side effect cellcept
also with imuran GI distress and leukopenia (which is the whole point)
investigator intentionally misleads participants
deception (acceptible under only specific instances)
investigator witholds information about some aspect of research
incomplete disclosure (acceptible under only specific instances)
