Cardio Flashcards
First line tx for CAD
decreases mortality
reduces myocardial O2 requirements during stress/exercise
Beta blockers
Increases vasodilation
prevents ischemia induced by coronary vasospasm
*decreases contractility
*decreases HR
*decreases afterload
CCB
PCI or CABG:
1 or 2 vessel disease NOT involving main left coronary artery PLUS normal or near normal LV function
PCI
*plavix and aspirin after procedure
PCI or CABG:
Left main coronary artery disease
Symptomatic 3 vessels disease
EF < 40%
CABG
MC cause of MI
atherosclerosis
appears at 4-8 hours
peaks at 12-24 hours
troponins
how long until troponins return to baseline?
7-10 days
*most sensitive and specific
Goal time window for PCI?
90 mins
- abdominal obesity
- triglycerides > 150
- HDL < 40 for males, <50 for females
- fasting glucose >110
- HTN
metabolic syndrome (if 3 or more)
*RF for CAD
horizontal or downsloping ST depression
*but, 25% will be normal
=ECG for..?
Angina
Which drug class will prolong life in CAD
Beta blockers
“post MI syndrome”
pericarditis
fever
leukocytosis
pericardial or pleural effusion
Dressler Syndrome
*usually 1-2 weeks post MI
ST elevation >1mm in 2 contiguous leads
Peaked T waves –> ST elevation –> Q waves –> T wave inversion
STEMI ECG changes
ST elevation in:
II, III, aVF
*where is the MI?
Inferior
ST elevation in:
V1, V2
*where is the MI?
Posterior or anteroseptal
ST elevation in:
v1, v2, v3
*where is the MI?
Anterior
ST elevation in
v4, v5, v6
MI?
Anterolateral
DOC for cocaine induced MIs or Prinzmetals?
CCBs
DO NOT USE BETA BLOCKERS
Timeline for…
- PCI?
- Thrombolytics?
PCI= 90 mins
Thrombolytics= 3 hours
Decreased EF
S3 gallop
*MC type of HF
Systolic HF
Normal EF
S4 gallop
Diastolic HF
Dyspnea, orthopnea, PND
Pulmonary congestion, rales, rhonci
Cheyne stokes
what side HF?
Left sided
Deeper, faster breathing with gradual decrease and periods of apnea
Cheyne Stokes
Peripheral edema
JVD
GI/hepatic congestion (hepatojugular reflex)
what side HF?
Right sided HF
