Cardio2 Flashcards
A drug used in post-MI to reduce morbidity/mortality and recurrence?
Aspirin/ADP(p2y12) receptor blocker like clopidogrel (dual antiplatelet therapy) -ACEI and ARB -Beta-blocker -HMG reeducates inhibitor -Aldosterone antagonist in a patient with HF symptom with ejection fraction <40 % and DM patients
Long-acting nitrates are only used acutely for the management of symptoms.
-
When we need oral anticoagulant treatment for patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
Valvular heart disease (MS) CHAD score > or = 2
Component of CHAD Score?
Congestive Heart Failure HTN >140/90 Age >75 Diabetes mellitus Stroke TIA Thromboembolism
If chad score is 1
-Antithrombotic
If chad score is 0
—No Antithrombotic or antiplatelet needed
Major S/E of Amidadrone?
Sinus bradycardia, QT prolongation, and heart block Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism Chronic interstitial pneumonia, ARDS, Acute lung hemorrhage, Lung solitary mass ad pulmonary nodule Peripheral neuropathy Blue-green skin discoloration Corneal deposit and optic neuropathy Hepatitis and elevated liver function test
Chronic interstitial pneumonia symptom and dx?
Cough, SOB, fever, and inspiratory crackles CXR-Ground glass opacity Decrease diffusion capacity of CO
Cluse to etiology of syncope?
Vasovagal—during defecation, urination and cough, emotional distress, and prolonged standing o Pathophysiology—Cardio inhibition by high PSNS activation and vasodepressor by decrease SNS activation o D/T symptom—Prodromal symptom(nausea, sweating, and light deadness) Carotid hypersensitivity due to stimulation Autonomic dysfunction—Orthostasis, DM, Parkinson,agibg… Hypervolemia—Orthostatic and fluid loss LVOO—Syncope during exercise and murmur Ventricular arrhythmia—Previous history of CMPATHY or ischemic heart disease and no warning symptom Conduction abnormality—preceding lightheadedness and fatigue with RCG abnormality
Orthostatic hypotension—
Drop-in systolic B/P by >=20 and diastolic by >=10 during standing Caused by volume depletion, drug side effect, and diseases like Parkinson and DM
The common cause of outside hospital SCA?
ViTac secondary to MI/Ischemic heart disease
Survival percent
>1/3 restabilization of circulation and 10 % discharge with improvement?
What determine survival?
Elapsed time to effective resuscitation
What is effective resuscitation?
Able to analyses type of arrhythmia and do Defibrillation in shakable waves and epinephrine in non-shokable ones.
What advantage did ViTac to asystole and pulseless electrical activity?
They form a shakable wave.
