What valve would you expect to see vegetation in in IVDU endocarditis?
A
Tricuspid valve
2
Q
What other condition would cause you to here the aortic stenosis quieter?
A
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction will result in a decreased flow-rate across the aortic valve and hence a quieter murmur.

8
Q
What is the triad for cardiac tamponade?
A
hypotension, muffled heart sounds, raised JVP
9
