35
Q

A

Mitral regurgitation

38
Q

What sound radiates to the back?

39
Q

Boot-shape on x-ray?

40
Q

Banana-shape on x-ray?

A

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

41
Q

Egg-shape on x-ray?

A

Transposition of the great arteries

42
Q

Snowman-shape on x-ray?

A

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return

43
Q

What disease has a “3” shape on x-ray?

A

Coarctation of the aorta

44
Q

What is the Osler-Weber-Rendu?

A

AVM (Atrial-Venous Malformation)
in lung, GI, CNS
the AVM sequesters platelets and causes acquired Telangiectasia’s

45
Q

What is Von Hippel-Lindau?

A

Predisposes individuals to benign and malignant tumors
AVM in the head and retina
hemangioblastomas, pheochromocytomas, bilateral renal cell carcinoma
AD inheritance in Chromosome 3

46
Q

What CA risk does Von Hippel Lindau have?

A

Renal Cell Carcinoma

47
Q

When do valves make noise under normal physiology?

A

When the valves close

48
Q

What valves make noise at the end of diastole?

A

Mitral and Tricuspid

49
Q

What murmurs occur during systole?

A

Holosystolic or pansystolic

50
Q

What are the Holosystolic murmurs?

A

Tricuspid Regurg
Mitral Regurg
VSD

51
Q

What are the Systolic Ejection Murmurs?

A

Aortic Stenosis, Pulmonic Stenosis, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

52
Q

What valves make noise at the end of systole?

A

Aortic and Pulmonic

53
Q

What are the sounds made from diastolic murmurs?

A

Blowing (whooshing) and rumbling

54
Q

What are the Diastolic Blowing (whooshing) murmurs?

A

Aortic regurgitation, pulmonic regurgitation

55
Q

What are the diastolic rumbling murmurs?

A

Tricuspid Stenosis

Mitral Stenosis

56
Q

What are the continuous Murmurs?

A

PDA or AVM’s

57
Q

What has a friction rub while breathing?

58
Q

What has a friction rub while holding breath?

A

Pericarditis

59
Q

What does a mid-systolic click tell you?

A

MVP- Mitral valve prolapse

60
Q

What does an ejection click tell you?

A

Aortic or Pulmonic Stenosis

61
Q

What does an opening snap tell you?

A

Mitral or Tricuspid Stenosis

62
Q

What does S-2 splitting tell you?

A

Normal on inspiration

Pulmonic valve closing later

63
Q

What does a wide S-2 split tell you?

A

Increases Oxygen
Increased right ventricular volume
Delayed pulmonic vlave opening

64
Q

What does fixed wide S-2 splitting tell you?

65
Q

What does a paradoxical S-2 split tell you?

A

Aortic Stenosis or LBBB

66
Q

What is cor-pulmonale?

A

Pulmonary HTN leads to Right ventricular failure

67
Q

What is Eisenmenger’s Syndrome?

A

Physiological shunt from left to right now changes right to left

68
Q

What is transposition of the great arteries?

A

Aorticopulmonary septum did not spiral, most common congenital cyanotic heart disease in the first month of life (Neural crest cell migration problem)

69
Q

What is Tetralogy of Fallot?

A

Overriding aorta: Aorta sits on intraventricular Septum giving rise to a VSD, this in turn causes Pulmonary Stenosis and ultimately right heart failure (boot shape x-ray)

70
Q

What is Total Anomalous Pulmonary return?

A

All pulmonary veins enter into the right atrium (Snowman x-ray)

71
Q

What is Truncus arteriosus?

A

Spiral membrane did not develop
there is one Aortic Pulmonary trunk -> mixed blood
needs PDA

72
Q

What is Ebstein’s anomaly?

A

Small right ventricle and very large right atrium (in fetus due to mom taking Lithium during pregnancy)

73
Q

What Kidney complications can Lithium cause to the person taking the drug?

A

Destroy the collecting ducts V2 aquaporin receptors, causing Nephrogenic DI

74
Q

Cardiac tamponade ECG findings?

A

electrical alternans

75
Q

What structure does NSTEMI effect?

A

subendocardium

76
Q

MOA of Magnesium Sulfate in Torsades?

A

decrease calcium influx resulting in decreased early afterdepolarizations

77
Q

What is the purpose of a carotid massage?

A

Carotid massage slows down the heart enough to reveal sawtooth pattern in atrial flutter

78
Q

What does left ventricular hypertrophy show on ECG?

A

Increased R-wave amplitude
