40
Q

A

Axilla

41
Q

Hoarseness is a sx of what valvular disorder?

A

Mitral Stenosis: RA enlargement pushes on L recurrent laryngeal nerve

42
Q

43
Q

44
Q

A

Rubella

45
Q

PDA: what vessel?

A

Persistence of the vessel joining pulmonary artery and aorta

46
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot vs ASD: shunting/cyanosis?

A

ASD: Acyanotic, L to R shunt

Tetralogy of Fallot: cyanotic, R to L in VSD

47
Q

ASD: which way is the shunting? ASD is associated with increase in the pressure of the _______

A

L to R shunt. (typically high to low flow from L to R side of the heart during diastole). Associated with increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries causing Pulmonary HTN.

48
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta

A

narrowing of the aorta, typically found just after the vessels are given off to the left arm

49
Q

Response of the kidneys in Coarctation of the Aorta

A

Kidneys release more renin in attempt to increase pressure and flow to the kidneys which was decreased because of narrowing of the aorta. This causes HTN, especially in the arms, with LOW BP in the legs. pulses in the legs may be decreased in intensity or delayed compared with the arms.

50
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta occasionally co-exists with what other congenital heart disease?

A

Aortic valve abnormality

51
Q

Ductus Arteriosus

A

A normal fetal structure that allows blood to bypass circulation to the lungs (shunts blood from the L pulmonary artery to the aorta)

52
Q

What causes the ductus arteriosus to close after birth?

A

High levels of oxygen (in a normal baby- typically closes in 24 hours)

53
Q

What type of intervention required with PDA?

A

Typically corrects itself within several months of birth but may require infusion of chemicals, placement of “plugs” via catheters or surgical closure. Also may be treated with high flow O2 and Indomethacin.

54
Q

What EKG findings associated with pericarditis?

A

ST elevation in all leads

55
Q

IVDU with infective endocarditis what bacteria and what valve?

A

Staph aureus, Tricuspid

56
Q

Non IVDU with endocarditis what bacteria and what valve

A

Strep viridans, mitral

57
Q

In 80% of these patients (new onset) they have A. Fib and typical diastolic opening snap accentuated S1

A

Mitral stenosis

58
Q

What valve most commonly affected by rheumatic fever?

A

Mitral

59
Q

Most common heart abnormality in children?

A

VSD

60
Q

What class of drugs is contraindicated in pts with 1st degree AV block?

A

61
Q

Which coronary artery is associated with a LATERAL MI?

A

A

LAD

63
Q

Which coronary artery is associated with INFERIOR MI

A

RCA

64
Q

Why do ACEI not work well in the black male population?

A

Tend to have lower levels of Renin. Can use ARBs instead.

65
Q

What antihypertensives work well in pts with osteoporosis?

A

Thiazides (low dose, may prevent fractures)

66
Q

Lipid lowering agent of choice in pts with liver disease

A

Bile acid sequestrants

67
Q

Pt with Von Willebrands will affect the PT or PTT?

68
Q

Heparin will affect the PT or PTT?

A

PTT

69
Q

ASA will affect PT or PTT?

A

PT

70
Q

1st and 2nd line treatment of pericarditis?

A

Typically viral:

1st: Indomethacin
2nd: Steroids (unless it is bacterial in which case treat with antibiotics)

71
Q

Rheumatic heart disease commonly affects what 3 valves (in order)

A

Mitral
Aortic
Tricuspid

72
Q

General rule regarding where murmurs are heard?

A

Sound radiates in the direction of blood flow

73
Q

Murmur of Aortic Stenosis vs Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy relationship to squatting

A

AS Murmur increases with squatting, improves standing

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy increases standing and decreases with squatting

74
Q

Why is the murmur of AS better heard when pt sits up and exhales?

A

It decreases the after load and the murmur can blow without resistance

75

A

WPW

76
Q

New L BBB concerned about what?

BBblocker stable angina

CCB Prinzmetal’s (coronary vasospasm)

Difference between unstable angina and NSTEMI/STEMI

A

Enzymes elevated in NSTEM/STEMI

79
Q

AAA tx

A

80
Q

Aortic Dissection tx

A

Type A= ascending aorta= surgery

81
Q

RX for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

Verapamil

82
Q

Physical exam finding of LVH

A

S4 gallops, apical lift or heave. LVH is compensatory response to systemic HTN or aortic valve stenosis and can cause diastolic heart failure as the L ventricle becomes stiff.f

A

LVH

84
Q

What is anginal equivalent

A

Is dyspnea without anginal discomfort caused by ischemia.

85
