Cardiology Flashcards
Adolescent routine physical exam, apical midsystolic non-ejection click, and late systolic murmur; the murmur is louder when goes from a supine to a standing position, and the murmur becomes softer when squatting
Mitral valve prolapse
The most common cardiac lesion associated with Noonan syndrome
Pulmonary stenosis and HOCM
A 2-week-old boy develops congestive heart failure, severe metabolic acidosis, and poor perfusion of the lower extremities
Coarctation of the aorta
The most common cardiac lesion associated with trisomy 18
Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
Newborn presents with shock; the echocardiogram shows coarctation of the aorta. What is the drug of choice?
Prostaglandin E1
What are some common side effects of indomethacin?
Thrombocytopenia GI bleeding Necrotizing enterocolitis Renal failure
A 1-day-old newborn presents with cyanosis, single first and second heart sounds, chest radiograph, shows decreased lung markings, and electrocardiogram shows left axis deviation
Tricuspid atresia with pulmonary atresia
Newborn presents with intense cyanosis and respiratory distress, chest radiograph shows a “snowman” shaped heart
Supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return
A 5-year-old, heart rate is 230 beats/min, chest discomfort; the heart rate decreases to 80 beats/ min after ice is applied to the face
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
A 4-year-old boy with physical examination significant for widely split and fixed S2 and crescendo-decrescendo systolic ejection murmur heard in the second intercostal space at the upper left sternal border. EKG shows a RSR1 pattern in V1. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Atrial septal defect
Newborn infant presents with a soft, harsh systolic ejection murmur, best heard at the axillae, and precordium and no symptoms
Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (PPS)
While having her hair brushed, a 15-year-old girl develops cold sweats, pallor, and palpitations and loses consciousness for 10 s
Vasovagal syncope
Child presents with chest pain, fever, friction rub; EKG shows diffuse ST-segment elevation, had upper respiratory infection 10 days before
Pericarditis
A 1-day-old infant with a history of maternal diabetes, cyanosis, and tachypnea, poor response to supplemental oxygen, loud single second heart sound, no murmur, chest radiograph shows narrow mediastinum with small heart tipped on side, increased pulmonary vascularity
Transposition of great vessels
A late complication of an untreated ASD or VSD that results in desaturation
Eisenmenger syndrome—shunt becomes a right to left shunt
Late diastolic rumbling murmur with an opening snap heard at the apex
Mitral valve stenosis
What is the reason that left to right shunt lesions may not present until 1 month of age?
The pulmonary vascular resistance drops to normal levels at that time
Child presents with a history of intermittent tachycardia; EKG shows a short PR interval, slurred and slow rise of the initial upstroke of QRS (delta wave), widened QRS complex
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW)
EKG in a 12-day-old shows negative T wave in V6
Left ventricular hypertrophy
The most common valvular lesion associated with acute rheumatic fever
Mitral regurgitation
A mildly desaturated child with tetralogy of Fallot going in for dental work; is SBE prophylaxis indicated?
Antibiotic prophylaxis
The most common cardiac lesion associated with cri du chat syndrome
VSD
An athlete presents with dyspnea while playing; systolic ejection crescendo- decrescendo murmur best heard at the apex and left sternal border, and radiates to the suprasternal notch; the murmur is louder while standing and with Valsalva maneuver
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
The most common cardiac lesion associated with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
Endocardial cushion defect
What is the most likely etiology of an early highpitched diastolic murmur associated with bounding pulses in a patient with Marfan syndrome?
Aortic regurgitation
A 6-year-old with a continuous murmur, lowpitched sound, best heard in the infraclavicular region, disappears when supine and with gentle pressure on the jugular vein
Venous hum
The most common cardiac lesion associated with DiGeorge syndrome
Tetralogy of Fallot
EKG shows sinus tachycardia, widened QRS complex with an interval greater than 100 ms, in a child who presents with altered mental status after accidentally ingesting grandmother’s medication
Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) toxicity
The most common cardiac lesion associated with Williams syndrome
Supravalvar aortic stenosis
The most common cardiac lesion associated with Alagille syndrome
Branch pulmonary stenosis
Child with a previous history of endocarditis; is SBE prophylaxis indicated?
Antibiotic prophylaxis
The most common cardiac lesion associated with lithium teratogen
Ebstein anomaly
Newborn presents with cyanosis in the lower extremities, tachycardia, respiratory distress, and loud single S2 sound
Persistent pulmonary hypertension (R→L shunting across the PDA)
The most common cardiac lesion associated with tuberous sclerosis
Cardiac rhabdomyoma
