Cardio Flashcards
Clinical manifestation of aortic stenosis
Parvus tardus carotid pulse
Opening snap and late dyastolic mumur at apex
Mitral stenosis
Prominent capillary pulsations at fingertips
Aortic regurgitation
Pulsus paradoxus (>10 mmHg decreased systolic BP with inspiration)
Tamponade
Asthma
COPD
Exertional syncope
Aortic stenosis
Progressive peripheral edema
Ascitis
Hepatomegaly
Elevated jugular venous pressure (Kussmaul sign, hepatojugular reflux)
Constrictive pericarditis
Cause of renin elevation
Renal artery stenosis
Definition of isolated systolic hypertension
Systolic >140
Dyastolic <90
Tx of atrial fibrillation stable
Betablockers, diltiazem, digoxin
Initial test for atypical angina
Exercise ECG
Features of ventricular aneurysm
Occurs 5 to 3 months after MI
Persistent ST elevation
Deep Q waves
Signs of CHF and left ventricular disfunction
Dyspnea
S3
Elevated BNP
S4
Just prior to S1
Correlates to LV hypertrophy from long standing hypertension or restrictive cardiomyopathy
Atrial contraction/blood striking the stiff LV
ECG finding of variant (Printzmetal) angina
Transient ST elevation
Systolic murmur disappears when squatting
Mitral valve prolapse
Tx PSVT
Vagal maneuvers
Adenosine
Tricuspid regurgitation mumur characteristics
Systolic, increases with inspiration
Dofetilide risk of
Torsades de pointes
Amiodarone side effect
Hypothyroidism
Hydralazine side effects
Salt and fluid retention, edema, palpitations, lupus-like
Verapamil side effect
Worsening arrythmias
Nitroprussiate toxicity
Altered mental status, seizures, coma
Nitroprussiate toxicity
Altered mental status, seizures, coma
