Cardiology Flashcards
heart if low K
increased heart irritiability
heart if high K
decreased automatcity/condution
heart if low Ca
decreased contractility/increased irritability
heart if high Ca
increased contractility
purpose of magnesium
stabilizes the cell membrane
heart if low Mg
decreased conduction
heart if high Mg
increased myocardial irritability
RCA
supplies right ventricle and 90% of population’s SA node
supplies the Right ventricle and SA node
RCA
blocked RCA
inferior MI
inferior MI
right coronary artery blocked & SA Node
bradycardia due to SA node involvement
type of MI with bradycardia
inferior MI b/c SA node so bradycardia
“widowmaker”
LCA block. basicically the entire left side of heart is blocked
LCA block
widowmaker
occludes both LAD & LCX so basically the entire left side of heart
what does LAD block MI’s
anterior
septal
anteroseptal MI
MI when left circumflex (LCX) is blxed
lateral & posterior MI
definition of STEMI via EKG
ST elevation in 2 contiguous leads over 2mm
nonSTEMP
positive troponin
ST depression in 2 contiguous leads
troponin initial rise
4hrs
troponin peak
14-25 hrs
troponin return to baseline
3-5 days
CK-MB initial rise in MI
3-6hrs
CK-MB peak in MI
12-24hrs
CK-MB duration in MI
2-3 days
myoglobin initial rise and peak
initial rise in 2hrs
peak 6-9hrs
return to baseline in 1 day
normal troponin =
under 0.04
troponin of probable MI
over 0.4
when do you need a right sied EKG
inferior MI
II, III, aVF
inferior MI
leads in inferior MI
II, III, aVF
avoid if inferior MI
BB & nitro
when don’t you give nitro if MI
NEVER if inferior MI b/c SA node is blocked so bradycardia
complications of inferior MI
bradycardia & AV blocks
needed if inferior MI
pacing, fluid challwnge
NO nitro or BB
blocked in anterior MI
LAD
type of MI where the LAD is blocked
anterior MI
V2, V3, V4
anterior MI = LAD
lead changes if the LAD is blocked
= anterior MI
V2, V3, V4
worst prognosis MI
anterior MI b/c large area of left ventricle is blocked
V2, V3, V4
what part of the 12 lead EKG is abnormal if anterior MI
worst prognosis
LAD blocked
bottom 2 of 3rd column = V2, V3
top on 4th column = V4
V1, V2, V3, V4
anteroseptal MI
anteroseptal MI
V1, V2, V3, V4
difference between anterior and anteroseptal MI
anterior MI = V2-V4
anteriorseptal = V1-V4
what is affected in anteriorseptal MI
left ventricel
septum
papillary muscle dysfunction = cardiogenic shock
I, aVL, V5, V6
Lateral MI (LCX)
Lateral MI
LCX
I, aVL, V5, V6
posterior MI
V1-V3
dominant R wave in V2
dominant R wave in V2
posterior MI
V1, V2, V3
posterior MI
needed if pt has CP w/o apparent MI
15 lead to look at the posterior segment
MI that is teh execption to MONA-B
inferior MI
5 types of MI
posterior = V1-V4. LCX anterior= V12-V4. LAD inferior= II, III, aVF. RCA lateral= I, aVL, V5, V6. LCX septal = V1, V2. LAD
septal MI
V1, V2
LAD
V1, V2
septal MI
LAD
axis shifts
axis shifts towards hypertrophy
away from infarctions
axis shift in hypertrophy
axis shift towards hypertorphy
axis shift in infarction
axis shift away from hypertrophy
BBB
STEMI mimic
widened QRS over 0.12. or rabbits ear
look at V1 for changes
rabbit ears
where do you look for BBB
V1. widened QRS over 0.12 like rabbit ears
right versus left BBB
V1
widened QRS over 0.12 seconds
turn right, flip turn signal up so upright V1
turn left, flip turn signal down so downward V1
RBBB
V1
widened QRS over 0,12 seconds
turn right, flip turn signal upright so upright V1
rabbit ears
BBB
