Cardiac- Key Elements Of Past Cardiac Hx Flashcards
1
Q
Baseline Sx
A
- IHD: exertional angina if so functional limitations, response to GTN
- HF: dyspnoea, fatigue, ankle swelling, functional status
- Valvular disease: often asymptomatic, exertional dyspneoa, CP or syncope
2
Q
Major events
A
- IHD: prev MI, unstable angina
- HF: prev decompensated HF, ventricular arrhythmias
- valvular disease: IE, previous rheumatic fever
3
Q
Investigations
A
- IHD: cardiac angiography, extent of CAD, electrocardiogram (or stress test, exercise capacity
- HF: echo, LV size,
- valvular disease: echo, nature and size of valve lesion, ventricular size
4
Q
Procedures
A
- IHD: PCI, CABG
- HF: implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, cardiac desynchronisation
- Valvular disease: surgical valve repair or replacement, TAVI
