Cardiology Flashcards
Fixed split 2nd heart sound.
ASD
Pt with fever, weight loss, and fatigue for several months. Diastolic sound with a soft rumble or pulp at the apex
Atrial myxoma
Murmurs that increase with inspiration
tricuspid stenosis
A murmur of aortic stenosis is best heard on
expiration
HOCM vs. AS. which increases with Valsalva
HOCM
16yo boy comes for a routine check-up. Murmur radiating throughout the precordium. No change with Valsalva and EKG shows mild LVH
VSD
most common murmur in adult hood on the left sternal border
VSD
pt wants to know how to decrease his risk of CAD. he’s a smoker and LDL is 80
Same pt but LDL is much higher
Stop smoking
statin
60yo women with CP on exsertion who can exercise and has no EKG changes
get Exercise EKG
Male 40 yo or over with CP. w.t.d
Stress test
Women 60 yo or over with CP
Stress test
Male < 39 yo with CP on exertion or relieving factors
stress test
Female >50 with CP on exertion or relieving factors
Stress test
Pt needs a stress test. Can exercise and ekg shows ST-T changes or LVH. what test
Exercise echo
Pt needs a stress test. Can exercise and EKG shows LBBB or V-pacing. what test
Vasodilator MPI or SPECT/PET
Pt needs a stress test. Cant exercise, and a wheeze is heard on the exam
Dobutamine
Pt needs a stress test. Cant exercise and a wheeze is NOT heard on the exam
Dobutamine or any vasodilator (adenosine)
Pt needs a stress test. Cant exercise, and a wheeze is NOT heard on the exam and EKG shows LBBB or V-pacing
MPI
50 yo Male. can exercise and has LVH on his EKG
stress Echo
60 yo male. cant exercise and has normal ekg. hx of COPD and wheeze is heard on the exam
Dobutamine stress test
65 yo woman with exertional dyspnea and occasional chest pain. EKG showed LBBB. what test
Adenosine or Dobutamine PET
btw RBBB, LBBB, and pacemaker. WHich one can undergo exercise EKG
RBBB
Where is the lesion?
ST depressions in I, aVL, V4-V6
Left circumflex artery stenosis
Where is the lesion?
ST depression in II, III, aVF
RCA
When NOT to do a stress test
Unstable angina or/and aortic stenosis with symptoms
An obese female who undergoes an exercise stress test but only can achieve a 50% increase in HR before having to stop. w.t.d
Repeat test but use pharmacological stress test
A pt with chronic angina now comes in with increased frequency. already on ASA and nitrate.
pt still has chest pain. HR 80
pt still has chest pain but HR is now 55
Add beta blocker
Increase the dose of beta-blocker
Angiogram with possible PCI
pt has increased angina but is refractory to beta-blockers, CCB and PCI shows nothing that can be stented w.t.d
Ranolazine.
Keep in mind this doesn’t improve mortality
45yo male presents with CP while shoveling snow. trops negative, EKG negative. PMHx is clean. w.t.d
Admit to hospital and get a stress test
65 yo male wakes up with severe retrosternal chest pain lasting 40mins that was accompanied by sweating and diaphoresis. in the ED–>EKG shows ST depression and T wave inversion.
Pt is started on ASA, IV nitrates, and LMWH and loaded with Plavix.
Pain gets better, but the ST depression persists.
What is this called, and how to diagnose it
Silent ischemia
Coronary angiogram
42 yo woman with retrosternal chest pain for 2 hours. no PMHx. runs 2 miles x 3 days/ week. EKG shows non-specific T wave changes and trops are elevated. w.t.d
Coronary angiogram
65 yo female has exertional SOB during exercise and relieved at rest.
MR during exercise which goes away post exercise
S4 +
The echo shows mild hypokinesia, and EF is 60%.
what’s the etiology of the chest pain
Ischemia
What is Wellens syndrome on EKG
Only deep T-wave inversions in leads V1-V4
pt comes to you without chest pain but states they had CP earlier.
EKG shows deep T wave inversions in leads V1 through V4.
w.t.d
Angiogram right away.
don’t need to wait for the stress test
pt presents with CP and EKG is negative.
A nuclear scan shows reversible ischemia.
an angiogram is negative.
What is going on and how do you treat it
Microvascular angina or syndrome X
Treat with CCB or Beta-blocker with nitrates
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG shows ST-T wave changes. w.t.d
Angiogram
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG shows ST-T wave changes and the angiogram is negative. w.t.d
Ambulatory EKG
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG shows ST-T wave changes and the angiogram is negative.
you do an Ambulatory EKG that is positive.
what is the diagnosis
Vasoplastic angina
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG and stress test is negative. w.t.d
Ambulatory EKG
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG and stress test is negative.
You do an amb EKG that is positive. w.t.d
angiogram
pt with CP at night 5-15min at rest.
EKG and stress test is negative.
You do an amb EKG that is positive but the angiogram is negative.
what is the diagnosis
Vasoplastic angina
An elderly man with hx of syncope. EKG is normal. He started he starts to feel dizzy after dinner. At that time his EKG shows ST depression in II, III, and aVF. 15 min later, the EKG is normal.
What’s the diagnosis and what’s the treatment
Postprandial ischemia
Cardiac cath and have him eat small frequent meals
