Q

How soon after cardiac stenting can you resume sexual activity?

A

In the period immediately following an acute MI, the myocardium may be vulnerable to increases in demand. Nonetheless, MI patients who have undergone successful revascularization or have no evidence of ischemia on exercise testing can be considered low-risk. They may safely resume sexual intercourse soon after the MI, within 3-4 weeks (Princeton guidelines) and possibly as early as 1 week (American Heart Association guidelines).

Dressler Syndrome VS Acute Pericarditis?
Dressler syndrome (post cardiac injury syndrome) is an immune-mediated pericarditis that can occur several **weeks** following MI. VS Acute Pericarditis/Peri-infarction pericarditis (PIP), which can occur due to localized inflammation typically **\<4 days** following acute myocardial infarction (MI). Delayed coronary reperfusion following ST-elevation MI (eg, \>3 hours from symptom onset) increases the risk of developing PIP. Patients with PIP typically have pleuritic chest pain that worsens with deep inspiration and improves with sitting up. The pain is usually located retrosternally and often radiates posteriorly to the bilateral trapezius ridges (lower portion of the scapulae). Low-grade fever may be present. Cardiac auscultation should reveal a pericardial friction rub that is classically triphasic (heard in atrial systole, ventricular systole, and early ventricular diastole). ECG characteristically shows diffuse PR depression and ST elevation, but these findings are not always present and may be masked by ECG changes from recent MI.
97
Treatment of Pericarditis \<4days from time of MI? why?ASA
ASA! Naproxen in combination with colchicine is the treatment of choice for most patients with idiopathic or viral acute pericarditis. However, it is recommended that **NSAIDs other than aspirin be avoided for treatment of PIP as they may impair myocardial healing and increase the risk of ventricular septal or free wall rupture**. For the same reason, glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) should be avoided as well.
98
Criteria for biventricular pacemaker?
\*dilated heart = wide QRS = unsync contractions. Requires 3/3 criteria for pacemaker: 1. LV EF \<35% 2. NYHA class 2+ w/sx 3. LBBB w/QRS\>150
