hyperacute T waves
what EKG change will be seen with hypokalemia
U waves, T wave flattening,
HOCM
- DOE is MC presenting symptom
- crescendo/decrescendo systolic murmur that increases with valsalva, decreases with squatting
- tx with BB or CCB

cor pulmonale
- will show signs of right sided HF
- HTN + RVH
- MCC is chronic bronchitis
- can cause PE

Add blood flow
Oxygenated blood from left to right
How to TX WPW
vagal first then adenosine
