fibrosis or marked obesity

35
Q

Cor Bovinum (cow’s heart) is seen in which pathology?

A

Syphilitic Aneurysm
-Fibrosis of the vascular wall
“tree bark appearance”
-Wrinkling of aortic intima due to secondary atherosclerosis may narrow or occlude coronary ostia
-Aortic valve ring dilation → valvular insufficiency
-Aortic valvular insufficiency→ massive hypertrophy of left
ventricle referred as
(cow’s heart)

36

A

Mitral Valve

40
Q

Which valve is usally involved wtih Acute Rheumatic Fever?

A

Mitral Valve

41
Q

• Distinctive lesions in the heart – Aschoff bodies (pathognomonic feature)
• Composed of foci of T lymphocytes, occasional plasma cells, and plump activated
macrophages called Anitschkow cells
• Small (1-2 mm) vegetations overlying these foci plus along lines of closure: Verrucae

Certain maneuvers like Valsalva maneuver and carotid massage could be helpful in diagnosing with arrhythmia?

A

Supraventricular arrhythmia

46
Q

Sudden Cardiac Death
Definition
Cause
Management

A

Definition: sudden death due to fatal arrhythmia
Cause: Most important = acute coronary syndrome; younger patients = non-atherosclerotic conditions
Management: pacemaker or automatic cardioverter defibrillator

47
Q

Sinus bradycardia

A

Rate < 60/min

48
Q

Sinus tachycardia

A

Rate >100/min

49
Q

First-degree atrioventricular block
EKG findings
Cause

A

a. ECG:prolongedPRinterval>0.2sec(200ms).
b. Causes: excess vagal tone, aging, ischemia, cardiomyopathy

If R is far for P then you have first degree

50
Q

Second-degree block - TypeI(MobitzI/Wenckebach) - atrioventricular block
EKG findings
Cause

A

i. ECG: progressive prolongation of the PR interval until a beat is dropped
ii. Block is above the bundle of His
iii. Causes: myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, excess vagal
tone etc.

Longer, longer, longer drop! then you have wenkebach

51
Q

Second degree - (MobitzII) block atrioventricular block
EKG findings
Cause

A

i. ECG: sudden occurrence of blocked beat without progressive prolongation of PR interval.
ii. Block is below the bundle of His
iii. Causes: myocardial infarction, degeneration of His-Purkinjee system
iv. Can present with sudden asystole or ventricular tachycardia or
fibrillation that causes circulatory arrest (Adam-Stoke
syndrome)

52
Q

Third-degree block atrioventricular block
EKG findings
Cause

A

a. ECG: all p waves are blocked and ventricles driven by an ectopic focus. No correlation between P waves and QRS complex
b. Causes: degenerative changes, infarction, any infectious of inflammatory processes, digitalis toxicity
c. Common to seeAdam-Stokesyndrome

53
Q

ECG: regular rhythm with usually a 2:1 block i.e. atrial beats at around 250/min and ventricles beats at 125/min. so every 3rd P wave gets conducted. The classic description is for the flutter waves is ‘saw-tooth appearance’.
Causes: alcohol, COPD, thyrotoxicosis, pulmonary embolism etc.

A

Atrial Flutter

A

54
Q

ECG will show wide, bizarre QRS complexes and the rate is usually >120/min.

A

VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA - Monomorphic type

55
Q

EKG shows aternating and undulating rotations of the QRS complexes around the baseline

A

VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA - Polymorphic / Torsade de Pointes type

56
Q

ECG: Rapid ventricular rate > 200/min, irregularly irregular (QRS) fibrillation waves.
Clinical Presentation: Sudden Cardiac Death, Asystole
Causes: Ischemic Heart disease (Post-MI), Valvular Heart disease, Myocarditis and also other arrhythmias may transform/evolve into VF

A
