Cardiac Disorders Flashcards
Heart layer most susceptible to damage on stable angina
Endocardium
Subendocardial ischemia ECG change
ST depression
Unstable angina cell injury is reversible. TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
Vasospasm of the coronary artery unrelated to exertion, leading to chest pain
Prinzmetal Angina
ECG manifestation of prinzmetal angina
ST elevation (transmural damage)
TRUE OR FALSE: Myocardial infarction requires complete occlusion of coronary artery
TRUE
Most sensitive and specific marker of MI
Troponin I
Cardiac marker rises 4-6 hours, and returns to normal after 72 hrs, useful for detecting reinfarction
CK-MB
Calcium reentry in necrotic cell leads to what finding in MI
Contraction band necrosis
Return of oxygen, generating free radicals which further injure dead myocardium
Reperfusion injury
Coagulative necrosis begins after how many hours of MI
4 hours
Sequence of events in MI
4 hrs Coagulative necrosis –
1 day - inflammation neutrophil macrophage (yellow pallor) –
1 week granulation –
1 month - fibrosis
Pathogenesis of myocardial wall rupture post MI
Macrophage eating infarcted debris, leading to weak wall
Fibrous scar is weaker than myocytes
Papillary muscle rupture is associated with occlusion of what vessel
Right coronary artery
Transmural infarction which leads to autoimmune pericarditis 6-8 weeks post infarction
Dressler syndrome
Sudden cardiac death is usually caused by
Fatal ventricular arrythmia
mitral valve prolapse
cardiomyopathy
Hemosiderin laden macrophages in the alveolar air sac is associated with
Congestive Heart Failure (pulmonary edema)
Most common cause of right sided heart failure
Left sided heart failure
Most common congenital heart defect
VSD
Congenital heart disease associated with fetal alcohol syndrome
VSD
Most common type of ASD
Ostium secundum
CHD associated with Down Syndrome?
Ostium primum ASD
Split of the S2 is associated with
Atrial Septal Defect
CHD associated with congenital rubella
Patent ductus arteriosus
Cyanosis of the lower extremities is associated with
Eisenmegerization of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Prostaglandin which keeps PDA open
PGE
Treatment which closes PDA
Indomethacin - PGE is reduced
TET spell logic
Squatting increases iarterial vascular resistance, so more blood is shunted to the lungs
TGA is associated with what maternal condition
Diabetes
Treatment for TGAwhile waiting for surgical repair
PGE2
