Cardio Flashcards
S3
“Kentucky”
Rapid ventricular filling - MR, CHF
Normal in kids and preggers
S4
“Tennessee/atrial kick”
High atrial pressure d/t VH
Normal S2 splitting
Inspiration –> Pulmonic closes after aortic
Wide S2 splitting
Pulmonic stenosis & RBBB –> Delay in RV emptying
Fixed S2 splitting
ASD –> L-R shunt delays pulmonic closure
- secundum = #1
- primum = DOWN SYNDROME
- paradoxical emboli
Paradoxical S2 splitting
Aortic stenosis & LBBB —> delays LV emptying
Hand grip
Inc MR, VSD
Valsalva
Most DEC
Inc MVP, hypertrophic
Squatting
Dec MVP, hypertrophic
Mitral/Tricuspid regurg
Holosystolic, high pitched “blowing”
Rheumatic fever
Radiates to axilla
MR
- Complication of MVP, LV dilation, endocarditis, Rheumatic, papillary muscle rupture
Ejection click –> Crescendo-decrescendo
Aortic stenosis - Radiates to carotids - Pulsus et tardus - weak pulses - Wear and tear, bicuspid valve, or chronic RF -
Angine, syncope w/ exercise, radiates to carotids
Aortic stenosis
- “Fish mouth” commisure
- -> LVH, anemia
Weak pulses compared to heart sounds
Pulsus et tardus - Aortic stenosis
Holosystolic, harsh murmur at left sternal border
VSD
- Most common
- FETAL ALCOHOL
Mid-systolic click with late systolic crescendo
MVP
- Can predispose to endocarditis
- Caused by RF, chordae rupture, Marfan, ED syndrome
High-pitched, blowing diastolic murmur
AR
- Widened pulse pressure, bounding pulses, head bobbing
- Heard over LEFT sternal border (pulmonic area)
- INC when leaning forward w/ held expiration
Widened pulse pressure, bounding pulses, head bobbing, pistol shot bruit over femoral pulsating uvula
AR
- aortic root dilation - syphiltic aneurysm, dissection, endocarditis
- LV dilation w/ ECCENTRIC hypertrophy
Opening snap with diastolic rumble in LLD position
Mitral stenosis (same as tricuspid)
- D/T RF…endocarditis, SLE, amyloid, carcinoid
- -> LA dilation –> pul congestion/HTN –> RHF
- -> A-fib –> mural thrombi
Continuous machine-like murmur
PDA
- RUBELLA
- Prematurity
- LE cyanosis
- Tx = indomethacin
Pressure formula
P = flow x resistance
Resistance formula
R = 8(viscosity) x length / pi(radius)^4
Inc viscosity –> inc TPR –> inc work
MAP
MAP = 2/3 DBP x 1/3SBP
High-pitched, blowing, holosystolic murmur at the apex
MR
Rupture of papillary muscle –> flash pulmonary edema
Day 1-4 post-MI complication
Fatal arrhythmia, pericardial friction rub
Day 5-10 or 4-7 post-MI complication
Rupture of papillary muscle, IV septum, Ventricular free wall
Months to years post-MI complication
Ventricular aneurysm
Peaked T-waves
HyperK –> Torsades –> asystole
Tx = calcium gluconate
Causes of hyperK
Burns, tumor lysis, rhabdo BBs, ACEs, ARBs, Digitalis, K+ sparing Renal failure Acidosis Low insulin
U-waves
HypOK+
Opening snap with high-pitched diastolic rumble, inc with inspiration
Tricuspid stenosis
Mitral is the same but inc w/ Expiration
4-24 hours post-MI
Hypereosinophilia
No nuclei
1-3d post-MI
Lots of neutrophils –> coagulative necrosis
Pericardial friction rub
New murmur 1 week post-MI
IV septum rupture
