Q fever is a flu like sickness caused by the germ coxiella burnetti. Goats, sheep, cows and other animals carry it

It is inside cell

Animals spread the germ when they give birth. People who help animals give birth such as farmers and vets have higher chance of getting Q fever

Wind can carry barnyard dust mixed with Q fever germs for miles. You may get sick when breath it in even if not near animals

Obstructive jaundice-effect of bile salts on SAN

Sliding hiatal hernia

Valsava maneuver-lifting heavy objects, straining bowels

Disease of the atrium or SAN-CAD(inflammation, neoplasm, cardiomyopathy, muscular dystrophy, amyloidosis)

Drugs and electrolytes(digitalis, quinidine, hyperkalemia, drugs used for HTN mech is to inhibit sympathetic tone like clonidine, methyldopa, reserpine. Also beta blockers propranolol metoprolol

Causes of bradycardia

A

Sinus bradycardia

Non conducted atrial bigeminy

Sino atrial block

AV block-incompete or complete

  • sinus rhythm with 2:1
  • sinus tach with 3:1
  • sinus rhythm or tach with complete block
  • a flutter with complete block
  • a fib with complete block

Sinus arrhythmia-SAN forms impulses irregularly

  • waxes/wanes with phases of respiration
  • HR increase with inspiration
  • HR decrease with expiration

EKG of sinus bradycardia

A

P wave represents formation of sinus impulses, each atrial impulse is followed by a ventricular beat

  • rate <60 min
  • p wave of sinus origin (Norma axis)
  • constraint and normal PR interval (.12-.2
  • constant P wave confirugation in each lead
  • regular or slightly irregular PP cycle or RR Yale

Q

Treat sinus bradycardia

A

Depends on clinical setting and cause
-may not need to be treated

Depends on hemodynamics/impaired

Depends on circulation

  • maybe no or a few symptoms-no RX
  • if hemodynamically compromised may get combination of-low BP
  • low CO, SV, renal perfusion-oliguria
  • SOB, decreased cerebral profusion-confusion
  • CP, cool, clammy, diaphoresis
  • syncope, dizziness
  • fatigue

Commonly see SB in acute inferior MI-espicially in the 1st few hours. This is related to SN ischemica or to a vagal reflex initiated int he ischemic area
RX is HR <45-50 with hemodynamic compromise/unstable acute situations

Transient

267
Q

Digitalis toxicity

Ischemic events (MI inferior)

Myocarditis

268
Q

2nd degree AV block -mobitz

A

May be seen with inferior AMI

Level of block is at level of AV node

Narrow QRS complex

269
Q

Etiology 2nd degree AV block-mobitz type II

A

Ischemic heart disease

May be seen with acute anterior myocardial infarction

Degeneration of conduction system

270
Q

2nd degree AV block, mobitz type II mobitz

A 
PR interval uniform 
Dropped beat (QRS)
-P wave fails to conduct

  • bundle of HIS
  • both bundle branches
  • fasciculus branches

Progressive/irreversible

*may be seen with anterior AMI bc block is distal to AV; worse prognosis

271
Q

Features of high AV block

  • third AV block-independent
277
Q

R

A

As impulse travels toward the electrode +

278
Q

S

A

As impulse travels away from the electrode - deflection

279
Q

In normal ventricular conduction, what is the origin of a small q wave in V5 and V6

A

Q wave is first downward deflection after the p wave and the first element in the QRS complex.

Negative deflection of QRS complex

It is the net direction of early ventricular depolarization projects toward the negative pole of the lead axis in question

280
Q

The septum is activated from _ to _

A

L to R

L septal surface activated .1 s before R septal surface

281
Q

Why normal ventricular muscle activated L to R

A

Right wall is thinner than L wall, therefore the impulse activates the epicardium of the RV before the LV

The LV pericardial surface is activated from apex to base

282
Q

Intrinsic deflection

A

Time lapse from beginning of the QRS to the peak of the R wave

The time that lapses from the beginning to the QRS complex to the peak of the R wave is measured horizontally

Measure time when impulse reaches the pericardial surface of ventricle

283
Q

What is intrinsic deflection for V1 and V2

A

V1 .02 s

V2 .04 s

284
Q

What does it mean if it takes longer for the ID to start downward,

A

The impulse is late in reaching the pericardial surface

Late ID in: a. BBB b. Hypertrophy/dilated

285
Q

Common features of BBB

A

Wide QRS complex (.12 s or greater)

ST segment -T waves slope off in opposite direction to QRS

286
Q

Which side of the septum is activated first in RBBB

287
Q

In RBBB is there an S wave in V6?

288
Q

Sequence of ventricular activation in RBBB

A

After septal activation, then activation begins in LV free wall

289
Q

RsR’ variants in V1-V2

A

Normal

Pertussis or straight back

RV diastolic volume overload

WPW syndrome

RVH

Du henna dystrophy

290
Q

In lead V1 why is there a small r wave morphology in RBBB

291
Q

Sequence of ventricular activation in LBBB

A

Septum activated from R side, nearly same time as RV is activated

Strong septal forces, therefore neg. deflection in V1 (QS)

Positive deflection V6-monophonic R

292
Q

LBB more apt to occur with

A

HTN
Ischemia
Aortic stenosis
Cardiomyopathy

293
