Cardio Flashcards
Jones criteria
carditis, arthritis erythema marginatum chorea subcutaneous nodules arthralgia
Tetralogy of Fallot consists of
right ventricular outflow obstruction-pulmonary stenosis
VSD
dextroposition of the aorta (over VSD)
right ventricular hypertrophy
fixed split-second heart sound
ASD
progressive evidence of heart failure if the flow across the ASD is large enough
constant, machine-like murmur
PDA
asymptomatic subcutaneous edema
edema in the gastrointestinal tract
Hereditary angioedema
harsh or blowing holosystolic murmur best heard along the left lower sternum
VSD
mid-diastolic rumble at the lower left sternal border;
tricuspid regurgitation
What does it mean to have a cardiac gallop
S3 or S4 are present
Congestive heart failure from any cause can result in mild _________
cyanosis
characterized by
rapid heart rate
little rate variability
consistent P wave for each QRS complex
Supraventricular tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia first line treatment
stimulate the vagus nerve–> carotid massage, immersion of the face in cold water, or voluntary
straining
Rapid IV adenosine if the maneuvers are not successful.
Transthoracic pacing is typically useful in ______________
bradyarrhythmias.
A precordial thump might help individuals with
an acute arrest from _____________
ventricular fibrillation
downward displacement of the tricuspid valve
Ebstein anomaly
The presence of right atrial hypertrophy and right
ventricular conduction defects confirms the diagnosis.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome ecg
aberrant AV conduction pathway –> early ventricular depolarization
ECG–> shortened PR interval
The initial slow ventricular depolarization wave= delta wave.
spindle-shaped swelling of finger joints
associated with spiking high fevers and diffuse rash
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
either polyarthritis/ pauciarticular or systemic
disease
Patients with tricuspid atresia typically have a hypoplastic RV, and therefore the ECG shows ____________
left-axis deviation and left ventricular hypertrophy
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
all four pulmonary veins are malpositioned and make anomalous connections to the systemic venous circulation
apical murmur is noted late in systole, which can
be preceded by a click.
Mitral valve prolapse
___________ will help keep the ductus patent until a surgical procedure can be performed.
Prostaglandin E1
