Q

Change in murmur with HOCM

A

valsalva increases murmur (decreases preload)

squatting decreases murmur (dilates aorta)

Q

3rd degree

A

can occur with either anterior or inferior mi
if inferior- qrs are more likely to be narrow-better prognosis

Q

make sure you tx depending on ventricular rate

A

ex- if patient has 2nd degree type 1 with HR of 90 and BP of 80. You don’t give atropine because rate is fine. Fluids or other cause but don’t treat rhythm.

27
Q

afterload reducer

A

ace inhibitor
high dose nitroglycerine
nitroprusside

28
Q

tx for htn EMERGENCY

A

24 hr rule
decrease bp by 25% in few hours
then gradual decrease in rest of 24 hours
iv drip meds

exception is aortic dissection - get bp normal as fast as possible

nitroprusside- old school tx

36
Q

metabolic syndrome

A
need 3

austin flint
early diastolic decrescendo murmur
look for:
wide pulse pressure. bounding pulse

murmur radiates to carotids
thready carotid pulse

42
Q

mitral regurgitation

A

soft s1 blowing early sustained murmur with split s2
h/o heart attack or current

murmur radiates to axilla

43
Q

tricuspid regurgication

A

right sided heart failure

cor pulmonale

44
Q

A

systolic murmur with constant split s1

45
Q

PDA

A
