Q

chronic mitral regurg

A

compsetaory LA enlargement allows the LA to recieve regurgitant volume at lower filling pressure, preventing pulmonary edema. volume overload also causes the LV to undergo eccentric hypertrophy which is good at first but eventually causes dysfunction of contractiliy

Q

severity of mitral stenosis

A

determined by (s2) a2-to-opening snap time

as things get worse and more stenotic, the left atrial pressure rises, this causes increased forceful filling of the left ventrile and a soon snap

Q

what causes endocarditis on damaged valves?

A

damaged valves (eg MVP or rheumatic fever) cause turbulent flow.

This causes a sterile fibrin-platelet nidus to develop.

usually happens on the atrial surface of AV valves or ventricular surface on semilunar valves

bactermia of any cause can seed nidus

staph aureus can adhere to damaged or non damaged valves

vegetations become macroscopic

Q

thoughts on diastolic dysfunction

A

you have decreased co in both systolic and decrease, i think BB was trying to say its just the worse component in diastolic is the increased LVEDP and volume.

Remember PV loop cv physiology.

So the heart cant fill, lower preload, lower stroke volume, even though the heart contractility is normal.

I think these mechanics are true for restrictive cardiomyopathies, contrctive pericarditis (uworld q gave me all this thinking), and tamponade

Q

pathogenesis of atheroscleoris

A

fatty streak to fibrofatty atheroma

begins with endothelial dysfunction from various causes (next card)

leads to increased permeability and monocyte/lymphocyte adhession and migration into intima. endothelial denudation allows for platelets to adhere

growth factors from monocytes and platelets stimulated SMC migration and proliferation into th eintima

increased permeability allows LDL to come in and be phagocytosed by macs and smcs to become foam cells

chronic infallmatory state of macs/lymphocytes with cytokine release maintains things

foam cells die, release their lipid contents (inlcuding oxdized ldld) into extracellular matrix.

Q

a man has a stemi with II, III, and avf elevations. he has clear lungs on ascultation and has persistent hypotension and JVD … whats going on?

A

Key to spot this. II, III, avf with clear lungs and persistent hypotension

This man as a LV inferior wall myocardial infarction that is complicated by RV infarcation (can occur with inferior infarction).

Lungs are usually clear unless major LV dysfxn too (more common with LAD)

Even though the heart has plenty of contractility, RV dysfxn has caused decreased LV preoload. Also RV dilation and increased RV diastolic pressures cause bulge of the interventricular septum, further imparing output.

Swan ganz would show decreased PCWP and increased CWP accompanied by decreased CO.

I think an inferior infarcation without RV infarction would have similar swan ganz as LAD infarcation but not as severe because inferior doesnt cause severe LV dysfxn usually.

LV anterior wall infarct (LAD) -

much more liekly to causes LV systolic dyfxn than inferior infarct.

Causes decrease CO, elevated left sided filling pressures (PCWP increased), and pulmonary edema (crackles on ascultation).

initially the central venous pressure may be normal, but persistenly elevated left sided pressures may lead to right sided heart failure and causes elevated central venous pressures.

Q

coronary steal phenomenon

A

i think its collateral microvessels forming between major major epicardial vessels (eg lad and rca).

Say lad is occluded, well it gains collaterals and the arterioles are already maximally dilated.

if you use a vasodilator the arterioles of the rca would become dilated and “steal” blood flow away.

Caused by “coronary arteriolar vasodilation.

Q

more info about atherslcerosis

A

endothelial cell injury casues VCAM to be upregulated.

this allows monocytes and t lymphocytes to adhere to endothelium and infiltrate the intima.

endothelium platelets and leukocytes release factors like PDGF and FGF that recruit the medial smooth muscle cells

macs make metalloproteinases that degrade extracelluar matrix, causeing a large soft lipid rich core with thinning of the fribrous cap -> propensity to rupture.

Q

heart failure principles

A

redcued CO leads to a temporary drop in BP with compensatory neurohumoral stimualtion (eg raas, sympathetics, adh)

good for cardiac response initially, meaintains BP for tissue perfusion, increased preload, chronitropy and inotropy. venous and arterial constriction.

bad in the long run though.

increased afterload impedes CO
RAAS casues fluid retention with peripheral and pulmonary edema (congestive heart failure)

deletreious cardiac remodeling due to hemodynamic (increased preload and afterload) and neurohormal stimulation (ang II, aldosterone, and catecholamine exposure)

Q

what determines LV end diastolic pressure?

A

the amount of blood in the chamber and the compliance

73
Q

features of diastolic heart failure

A

uworld certainly acts like LV end diastolic volume would be normal, but i would think it would be decreased at least a bit leading to the decreased stroke volume and CO -> leads to all the activation of sympathetics and adh and raas

74
Q

causes of edema in both types of heart failure

80
Q

features of an aging heart

A

decreased ventricular size bcause decreased length. decreased length causes heart to take a sigmoid shaped with the basilar portion bulging into the LVOT. there is increased interstitial connective tissue (collagen), often with amyloid deposition. inside cardiac cells there is lipofuscin.

88
Q

epigastric pain and vomiting coffee ground emesis

A

peptic ulcer disease

89
Q

person in hypovolemic shock physiology

A

increase in sympathetics and RAAS

increased contractilty and HR
contrstriction or arteriolar beds maintain end organ beds and causes cool extremities
constriction of veins helps maintain preload
increased Na and h20 resorption heps maintain volume

90
Q

point of IV infusion in hypovolemic shock?

A

increase preload -> increase sarcomere end diastolic length -> stroke volume via frank starling

91
Q

signs in hypotension

A

hypotension and tachycardia

92
Q

other effects of IV saline ifusion in shock

A

no decrease hr, decrease renin levels, decrease tpr, decrease contractin velocity of heart (also because decreased sympathetics)

93
Q

greatest difference between o2 in aorta and ??

A

coronary sinus

94
Q

coronary circulation 3 special features copraed to other circulations

A
  1. perfused in diastole because the strong contraction (worst at subendocardium) contracts coronary vessels
  2. myocardial o2 extraction is very high
  3. therfore the only way to increase o2 because increased demand is through increased flow
95
Q

a child has no mumur at birth but that you can hear it two weeks later. harsh holosystolic heard best at mid to lower sternal border

A

VSD (most common defect)

small vsds have murmur, takes time to show because the PVR has not increased yet. most close by themselves

large VSDs cause HF and failure to thrive and diaphoresis with feeding. usually have no murmur. can lead to eisenmenger syndrome

96
Q

2 possible causes of systolic HF

A

ischemic heart disease or dilated cardiomyopathy

both lead to dilation is 1 or both ventricles

97
Q

man has signs of HF dies, shows dilated heart, causes of problem?

A

systolic dysfunctin from either dilated cardiomyoapthy or ishmicc heart diseae

the point is you are supposed to be able to differentiate from hypertensive heart disease,, or HCM which would be diastolic problems

98
Q

cor pulmonale findings

A

thickening of right heart with eventually dilation as the heart begins to fail

99
Q

a man has a DVT and gets repurfused, he has a rise in creative kinase, why?

A

because of reperfusion injusry dmaging the cell membranes

100
Q

cycle between RAAS and CHF

A

cant pump blood to kidneys to RAAS increased -> increased TPR and less blood flow to kdineys. Viscious cycle

also increases water retention increasing preload and worsening CHF

remember sympathetics are going too

101
Q

both left and right HF ultimately lead to

A

decreased CO

102
Q

a man is describe as having aortic stenosis, a month later he comes back and has bad hypotension and pulmonary edema, what happenes??

A

Afid happened, these patients need the atrial quick because of their concentric hypertrophy. without it in afib they get pulmonary edema and hypotension (acute onset HF)

need cardioversion

103
Q

explain why the RVOT is most important in determining the severity of tetraology of fallot

A

its because the increased resistance to flow pushes deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left ventricle

tet spells are caused by the same thing, but are a sudden increase in RVOT

104
Q

a man with COPD has some right venricle dysfxn and increase in CV but not peripheral edema, why not

causes of non inflammatory edema

A
  1. elevated cappillary hydrostatic pressure (CCB, venous thrombosis, right sided HF)
  2. Decreased ocotic pressure - nephrotic syndrome, sever liver disease, malnutrion
  3. Na and water retention - increases hydrostatic pressure and decreased oncotic pressure. occurs in acute and chronic kidney problems, congestive HF
  4. Lyphmatic obstruction - filriasis, invasive malignancies, iatrogenic etiologies (lymph node dissection)
106
Q

a man dies and heart has intracytoplasmic granules that are tinged yelloweish brown

A

lipofuscin is the product of free radical injury and lipid perodidation.

107
Q

frequency of atherosclerosis

A

abdominal aorta > coronary arteries > popliteal arteries > internal carotids > circle of willis

108
Q

a woman had fatigue, malaise, low grade fevers and devlops sudden onset right side weakness and pseech difficulty

A

embolic stroke from sub acute endocarditis

remember major cause is MVP with regurge in US and rheumatic fever is still important cause in devloping nations

109
Q

an afib what determines rate of ventricular response?

A

av node refractory period

110
Q

libman sachs endocarditis (verrucous endocarditis)

A

to me same thing, just means larger sterile platelete thrombus.

most often associated with SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome i think

is a subtype of NBTE (marantic endocarditis)

111
Q

NBTE

A

associated with malignancy (mucinous), autoimmune (sle, antiphospholipid), and sepsis (dic)

paltelet rich thrombi with strands of fibrin, immune complexes, monouclaear cells (whit thrombus). no nacteria

more likely to embolize and cause infarction

112
Q

a woman has a feeling of heaviness in her veins when standing still for long periods. works as a cashier for 20 years

A

varicose veins and she is at increased risk of skin ulcerations

risks include standing, age gretare than 50, and mulptiple pregancies

increased venous pressure causes lose of vein tensile strength and dilation -> incompetent valve -> further dilation -> vicious cycle

superficial venous thrmobosis that do not embolize but are painful, stasis dermatitis, skin ulcerations, poor wound healing, and superficial infections are all complications

stress uclers are venous stasis ulcers and occur over the medial malleolus

113
Q

a man has multiple episodes of syncope and unle who died suddenly

A

passing out from the ventricular tachycarida and possible v fib, right?

uworld said torsdades can cause syncope, seizures, sudden cardiac death

114
Q

congenital qt vs wolf

A

i remember something like wolf rarely causes vfib and death and congenital qt often does. do i remember this right?

115
Q

typical cases of qt prolongation

A

family history of sudden death
young patient with reccurent “seizures” actually passing out from torsades

uworld said syncopes, seizures, sudden cardiac death

116
Q

motor vechiles accident with blunt chest trauma causes?

A

cardiac tamponade

117
Q

lupus thing

A

serositis: pleurisy, pericarditis, peritonitis

118
Q

viral myocarditis vs pericarditis

A

both have ekg changes, one has pleuritic chest pain, i think the other has probably more heart attack like pain, myocarditis has elevated enzymes,

dilated cardiomyopathy is a late phase complication of viral myocarditis

tamponade is a complication of acute pericarditis, but ihave never heard of myocarditis causing that (u world agreed with me)

also can get either following an upper URI

119
Q

feature of tamponade

A

tachycardia along with the hypotension, clear lungs

120
Q

isolated systlic hypertension caused by?

A

increased arterial stiffening (aka decreased compliance) of the aorta and major vessels. seen in people over 60

ISH can also be seen in AR, anemia, and hyperthyroidism

121
Q

a woman who has an MI with st elevations in v2-v5 dies on the 5th day…. what was the causes?

A

profound hypotension due to rupture of the free wall of the anterior ventricle (this is where it usually occurs) leading to hempericardium -> cardiac tamponase -> profound hypotension and shock

122
Q

what would an inhibitor of the metalloproteinase neprilysin do?

A

increases natruetric peptides -> cauing diuretic, natriuetic, and vasodilatory effects

improves outcomes in HF

123
Q

what does mitral regurgitation show on cathertization (wiggers)

A

V wave

124
Q

what provides a major proliferative stimuli for the cellular components of an atheroma?

A

platelets, they adhere to the enothelium when it becomes dysfunctional.

the platelets release PDGF (also released by macs and endothelial cells) is chemotactic for smc

plaeteles also release tgf b that causes smcs to migrates and to make collagen

125
Q

a man who has an MI dies one the way to the hospital, cause?

A

ventricular fibrillation

SCD can be caused by sustained VF/VT most often VF resulting in hemodynamic collapse.

Most common cause of death from SCD in the first 48 hrs following mi

126

ecg changes in MI

A

peaked T waves occur first (localized hyperkalemia), st segment elevation follows in minutes to hours, within hours to days can see q waves

127

lowers BP
limits NA resorption in the PCT and inner medullary collecting duct

restricts aldosterone secrtion

134
Q

aniamals have mexomatoud degeneration with pooling of proteoglycans in the media layer what are they at risk for?

A

aortic aneuryms or dissection. describing cystic medial degerneation where you get fragmentation of the elastic tissue in the media

135
Q

factors that increase renin

A

dieuretics (volume depletion -> low flow), acei, arbs

136
Q

a man buttons his shirt and has an episode of lightheadness, whats the problem?

A

he has carotid sinus hypersensitivity and has stimulated the glossopharyngeal nerve

137
Q

a man who is 23 has sudden onset of palpitations that started at his desk. what is going on and how to treat

A

he has paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, AVNRT, treat with vagal maneuver (eg carotid sinus massage) to increased AV nodal refractory period

138
Q

features of atrioventricular canal defect

A

failure of fushion of the endocardial cushionions causes ostium premum and vsd and a single av valve.

lots of left to right shunting, av regurgitaiotion leads to HF

139
Q

small pulmonary emboli cause what kind of infarction?

A

small wedge shaped and hemmorahgic

140
Q

a 23 yearold old man notes reccurent sever nosebleeds and is found to have spider like lesions on his oral and nasal mucosa, face, and arms what does he have?

A

osler weber syndrome (heriditary hemmorach talgatasia) autosomal dominant.

get telangistasia in the skin as well as the mcous membranes of the lips, orophrayxn, respiratory tract, and gi tract, and urinary tract

rupture can lead to epistaxis, gi bleeds, or hematuria

141
Q

what should decrease when you exercise?

A

tpr (not systolic pulmonary pressure)

142
Q

ecg in a 32 year old woman reveals a dilated coronary sinus, whats going on?

A

anything that increases right atrial pressure can dilates the sinus.

most common cause is pulmonary htn

143
Q

a man has infective endofcarditis of the aortic valve and later gets aortic regurg but has no symptoms, why?

A

because its chronic sever aoritc regurg where there was long term increase in backflow and preload causing eccentric hypertophy which allowed for an INCREASE IN STROKE VOLUME.

pts with acute AR have a small ventricular cavity that cannot significantly increase forward stroke volume to accomadate for the regurg. leads to decline is CO and acute pulmonary edema

144
Q

a man has HF, what would be higher in the pulmonary vein than in the pulmonary artery?

A

ATII

145
Q

acetylcholine infusion during cardiac stress testing causes?

A

a reaction with arginine

146
Q

cardiac manefestations in lupus

A

acclerated atherslcerosis and MI

small arteries (arteroiles ) and arterioles can also show vasculits with fibrinoid necrosis

libman sacks endocarditis

147
Q

a man has left sided heart failure, why is there an increase in pulmonary htn

A

and vasoconstriction due to pulmonary venous constriction

fluid back up causes HTN and damage to the edothelium, get less NO and more endothelium, leads to increased vascular tone with increased smooth muscle proliferation (medial hypetrophy) and collagen and elastase deposition (intimal thickening and fibrosis)

148
Q

diastoli heart failure values for lvedp, lvedv, lv ejection fraction

A

increased, normal, normal

said that the heart would have near normal CO and stroke volume with increased LVEDP -> gets transmitted back and causes symptoms

149
Q

ishemic consequences in the myocaridum

A

when flow is occluded,

you get glycolysis and buildup of waste products (lactate)

the depletion of atp and build up of toxins (lactate) result in loss of contractility in about 60 seconds

within 30 minutes loss of contractile fxn is irreversible

if blood is returned before 30 minutes contractility will return but not immediately (myocardial stunning)

150
Q

a 35 year old man has progressive signs of heart failure over the last two weeks. he had an episode of fever, runny nose, and myalgias recently. what would you find on echo?

A

dilated ventricles with abnormal systolic ventricular fxn

he has dilated cardiomyopathy in the setting of viral myocarditis

151
Q

a man has a 2 month history of HF signs, you hear an s3, where best and what does it represent?

A

left lateral decubitis in the apex and represents increased left venrticular end systolic volume which occurs in left ventricular systolic failure

152
Q

VERAMPMIL WOULD slow what in pacemaker cells?

A

the T type ca channels slowing spontaneous depolarization

would also block L type channels and in the cardiac myocytes this would cause decreased excitation contraction coupling

153
Q

2 3 avf means?

A

most likely infarct in the inferior wall of the left ventricle

154
Q

a man exercises, what is the critical thing limiting coronary perfusion?

A

the shortening of diastole

155
Q

a man presents with flan discomfort and red urine. he recently had an iscehmic stroke. he has elevated ldh. urine microscopy shows many red cells. whats going on?

A

a fib

ldh represents cell necrosis

156
Q

when does SCD happen in HCM?

A

while exercising

157
Q

action of nitropreusside

A

balanced arterolar and venous dilator

so decreases lvedp (preload) and mean systolic intraventricular pressure (afterload)

because both of these happen stroke volume is maintained

158
Q

a 22 yo female compains of worsening dyspnea and low grade fevers. SOB is worse when laying down. she has a low pitched mid diastolic rumble at the cardiac apex. ecg shows a large pedunculated mass. what would histoogy show?

A

scatterd cells within a mucopolysachharid stroma

can get CVS or embolic symptoms

159
Q

a woman has mitral stenosis, what would indicate the aortic valve was involved too?

A

increased left ventricular diastolic pressure, which is normally normal or decreased in MS.

rhematic fevef involvement of aortic valve typically causes combined stenoiss and regurge both of which cause an increase in LV diastolic pressure

mitral stenosis by itself causes increased PCWP, pulmonary HTN, decreased pulmonary vascular complicance, right ventricular dilation, and functional tricuspid regurge.

dilated left atrium and or afib can promote thrombus formatino

160
Q

cardiac amyloidosis

A

could be AL amyloidosis, mutated transthyretin (familial ATTR amyloidosis), wild type transerythtin (senile systemic amyloidosis)

histology would show amorphous and acellular pink material around normal myocardium

congo red stain clssicicaly shows apple green birefriengrence under plane polarize light

161
Q

aortic stenosis in a 54 year old man caused by?

A

bicuspid aortic valve

162
Q

a man has third degree heart block, what is causing the ventricle to fire

A

AV node

the SA node is causing the atria to contract

163
Q

a boy who had a sore throat three months ago develops rapid irregular jerking movements in his face arms and legs, what is he at risk for devloping?

A

he has syndenham chorea (cross reaction with basal ganglia)

he is at risk for VALVULAR DISEASE

164
Q

some features of kawasaki disease

A
  1. bilatersl non edudative conjuctival injection (erythema) (conunctival injection with no exudates)
  2. cerival lymphadenopathy
  3. fissured erythemaotus lips, strawberry tongue
  4. extremity changes: edema of the hands and feet, erythema of the palms and soles, deaquamtion of the fingertips
  5. rash: on extremities and spreads to trunk (centripitellay)
165
Q

a man has a rupture of an atheroma and an MI, what enzyme would be active to have caused this?

A

increased in metalloproteinases secreted by MACs cause large necrotic core and small thin fibrous cap.

plaque stability most important factor is strenght of fibrous cap, not size
