Cardiology Flashcards
Physiologic S2 split
A2 then P2 on inspiration
Paradoxical S2 split
AS
HTN
LBBB
Early diastolic S3 sound (aka pericardial knock)
Constrictive pericarditis
Pulsus alternans
Severe heart failure
Pulsus paradoxus
Cardiac Tamponade
SVC obstruction
Pulmonary obstruction
Sustained left parasternal lift (heave)
RVH
MS, pHTN, PS
Sustained apex lift/impulse
LVH
Bifid or trifid apical impulse with HOCM
Holosystolic murmur
MR
TR
VSD
pHTN
Mid-systolic murmur
Crescendo-decrescendo
AS (more severe with late peak)
pS
ASD
Late systolic murmur with mid-systolic click
Crescendo

AS
Most common murmur in LLSB
VSD
Strongest modifiable risk factor for MI
Dyslipidemia
Cardiac stress test with baseline ST-T abnormalities or LVH on EKG
Exerciser ECHO
Cardiac stress test with LBBB or V-pacing on EKG
Vasodilator MPI
SPECT/PET (PET > SPECT if obese or female)
Cardiac stress test is patient unable to exercise and has wheezing
Dobutamine stress test
Cardiac stress test if patient unable to exercise and no wheezing
Vasodilator or Dobutamine stress test
Indication for MUGA scan
Determine LVEF and wall motion abnormalities
Management for chronic angina on ASA and nitrates with increasing frequency
Add beta blocker
Decrease frequency if anginal episodes and improved exercise tolerance
Ranolazine
Not shown to decrease mortality
Deep T waves in V1 to V4
Myocardial ischemia
Wellens syndrome/LAD T-wave inversion syndrome
Chest pain
EKG normal
Stress test with reversible with reversible ischemia
Coronary arteriography negative
Management
Microvascular angina/Syndrome X
CCB/Beta blockers and nitrates
Chest pain
Positive ambulatory EKG
Negative angiogram
Vasospastic angina
Syncope. Dizzy after dinner
EKG with ST depression in II, III, aVF
Postprandial ischemia
Lightheaded after meals + syncope
Management
Postprandial hypotension
Small frequent meals
Ticagrelor vs Prasugrel vs Clopidogrel
PCI: T and P > C
CABG: C
Indications for thrombolysis
CP typical for infarct > 30min w/ LBBB
ST elevation 1mm in 2 cont leads
< 12 hrs post MI
> 2 hrs from PCI center. Not in shock
Absolute contraindications to thrombolytic therapy
Previous hemorrhagic stroke
Other CVA events < 1 year
Intracranial neoplasm
Active internal bleed
Relative contraindications to thrombolytic therapy
CVA > 1 year Recent internal bleed or major trauma < 2-4 weeks BP > 180/110 Pregnancy Active PUD
Indications for PCI
Active STEMI ST elevation with CP > 12 hrs MI w/ shock and < 2 hr from PCI center and < 75 yo tPA contraindicated Unstable angina
