Cardio Flashcards
pulsus paradoxus
decrease SBP w/ inspiration pericardial tamponade COPD tension pneumo foreign body
pulsus alternans
weak-then strong - poor prognosis
cardiac tamponade
pulsus parvus et tardus
weak + delayed
aortic stenosis
kussmal sign
increased JVP w/ inspiration
cardiac tamponade
tricuspid regurg
constricitive pericarditis
tx brady or symptomatic mobtiz 1
atropine
causes of mobitz 1
Digoxine
BB, CCB

MCC:
systolic HF?
diastolic HF?
systolic = CAD diastolic = HTN
tx CHF
BB/ACEI/ARB - prevent remodeling + decrease mortality
spironolactone for types 3-4 decrease mortality
BB for CHF
bisoprolol
carvedilol
metoprolol
what tx is not usefule in diastolic HF
digoxin #1 - diuretics
PE in HOCM
sustained apical impulse
S4
tx: BB
restrictive cardiomyopathy
decreased elasticity
bx = fibrosis/infiltrates
typically see LBBB, low voltage w/ amyloidosis
what meds show mortality benefit for tx angina
BB
ASA
tx unstable angina
same as stable angina
add clopidogrel, heparin, or enoxaparin
