Q

What is the MC type of AAA?

A

Fusiform

17
Q

What is the MC cause of IE in valve replacement pts?

A

S. Aureus if w/in 2 months

Coagulase (-) if after 2 months (s. Epidermidis)

18
Q

What meds are CONTRAINDICATED in peds pts w/SVT?

Why??

A

CCB in less than 1 y/o

Causes irreversible HoTN

19
Q

What heart complications can Paget’s disease of bone cause?

A

AV fistulas in new bone —> lead to high output HF

20
Q

Pt with septal rupture post MI, what is the treatment?

A

Afterload reduction —> use vasodilator

21
Q

Pt with COPD and tachycardia (maybe d/t SVT), VSS who is taking theophylline, what is the immediate treatment?

A

Esmolol

Adenosine does not work bc theophylline is a potent adenosine receptor antagonist

22
Q

Pt with acute-onset HA with tinnitus, right sided Horner’s syndrome most likely has what?

Tx?

A

Carotid artery dissection

Anti-thrombotic therapy

23
Q

What is the MC location for AAA to rupture into?

Most fatal?

A

Retroperitoneum

Intraperitoneum

24
Q

Infant less than 1 week old presents w/lethargy and poor PO intake. VSS: HR 200, RR 50, O2 sat 70%, systolic murmur, pt has what?

Do What?

A

Coarctation of aorta

give PGE to maintain PDA

25
Q

What classes of meds prolong QT?

A

Phenothiazines - compazine, phenergan
5HT3 antagonists - Zofran
Macrolides

26
Q

Pt that has Cardiac tamponade, what is the best initial step in management?

Why?

A

NS IV bolus

Preload dependent to maintain RV pressure

27
Q

What cardiac medicine is contraindicated in pts < 1 year?

Why?

A

CCBs

Cause irreversible HoTN

28
Q

Pt that you are sure has inferior MI, what must you always check for?

If + this means what?

A

Check leads V5, V6

Left-dominant heart therefore LCX Artery

29
Q

What physiologic effects does BiPAP have?

A

Decreases venous return (preload) by increasing intrathoracic pressure

30
Q

What can Paget Disease cause in the heart?

A

Arteriovenous connections in the new bone leading to high output Heart Failure

31
Q

HTN and systolic murmur in a young child (6 yo) think of what?

See what on PE?

A

Coarctation

Brachial-femoral delay

32
Q

What is Anomalous origin of the Left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA)?

Presents when?

A

Blood flows from LCA into PA known as coronary steal

Young infant (4-8 weeks) with sob, paleness that is worse w/feeds
