Q

Mx of angina stable

A
  1. Aspirin + statin
  2. GTN spray
  3. Beta blocker or ca2+ blocker
    Ca ch blocker: verapamil or diltiazem-> rate limiting
    Use amlodipine or mr mifedipine if using bb (dihydropyridine )
  4. Long acting nitrate/ivabradine/nicorandil/ranolatine if pt monotx cannot tolerate addition of ca ch blocker/ beta blocker

Don’t use bb and verapamil or diltiazem together as it increases risk of heart block

A

<48hrs: if rate/rhythmn + heparinised electrical DC

If > 48 hours/ uncertain: rate and anticoagulation for minimum of 3 weeks

27
Q

A

Esp if patient in HF

28
Q

Scores used in AFib

A

CHA1DSC2 VASC RISK FACTOR
HASBLED

ORBIT

29
Q

HASBLED SCORE

A

bleeding risk of DOAC in AFIB

HTN
Abnormal renal/liver function
Stroke
Bleeding hx
Labile INR
Elderly >65
Drugs/ alcohol

0-0-1 low risk
2 intermediate
>3 high risk

30
Q

ORBIT SCORE

A

Bleeding risk DoAC in AFib

Older age >74
Reduced haemoglobin or anaemia
Bleeding hx
Insufficient kidney function
Tx with anti-plt

0-2 low risk
3 intermediate
>4 high risk

31
Q

Which criteria used for infective endocarditis

A

Dukes criteria: 2 major or 1 major + 3 minor or 5 minor

BE TIMER

Blood culture positive >2 times 12 hours apart
Echocardiogram evidence of IE

Temp >38
Immunological phenomena: oslernode, Roth spots
Microbiological evidence + BC not meeting criteria
Embolic phenomenon- arterial embolism, septic embolism, conjunctival haemorrhage, painless skin lesion-Janeway
Risk factors: congenital heart condition or iv drug use

32
Q

Which valve most affected by IE

A

Mitral valve

Tricuspid in iv drug users

33
Q

Most common pathogen for IE, prosthetic valve

A

Staph aureus
Used to be strep Viridans

Prosthetic: coagulate negative strep epidermidis

34
Q

Stages of HTN

A

Stage 1 : >140/90 or ABPM >135/85
Stage 2 : >160/100 or 150/95
Stage 3 or severe: SBP 180 OR DBP >120

35
Q

When to expect rupture of papillary muscle due to MI

A

Severe complication of MI 3-5 days post

HoTN, pulmonary oedema
Early-mid systolic murmur

36
Q

PCI timing in MI

A

PCI:

STEMI sx within 12 hours and PCI can be offered within 120min- aspirin + clopidogrel

If sx within 12 hours but primary PCI x offered within 120min then start fibrinolysis (fondaprinux)
Repeat ECG with ST elevation not resolving needs rescue PCI

37
Q

DOAC & anti-latest post MI

A

If post ACS/ PCI with Bg AFib
DAPT and 1 DoAC for 1-6months then 1 anti platelet and 1 anticoagulant

If stable CVD with indication for DoAC eg. AFib then anticoagulant monotx without anti platelet

38
Q

Secondary prevention after ACS

A

Statin, beta blocker, ACEi

39
Q

Pericarditis Ix esp ECG Findings

A

ECG: global widespread ST changes elevation (saddle shaped) with PR Depression

TTE: check pericardial effusion

Labs: high trip, high inflammatory markers, high ESR

40
Q

Mx pericarditis

A

NSAIDS + Colchicine 1st line for idiopathic/ viral cause
+/- corticosteroid

41
Q

Cardiac tamponade sx, whiat happens to SBP & ECG

A

Becks triad: HoTN, elevated JVP, muffled heart sound

Tachycardia
Oculus’s paradoxes deacrease in SBP >10mmHg during inspiration

ECG small QRS complexes
Electric alternates - QRS complexes different height

42
Q

A

Wells criteria- likely PE calculation
PESI- PE severity index

ORBIT score for bleeding risk

43
Q

PE Ix esp ECg

A

CTPA> V/Q scan

When to use VQ scan: alternative dx of PE, renal impairment. Mismatch V/Q: old PE, AV malformation/ vasculitis/ COPD

D-dimer- use age adjusted d-dimer

ECG S1Q3T3, RBBB, RT AXIS DEVIATION

44
Q

Duration of DOAC IN PE

Unprovoked use for 6months and review using ORBIT
Provoked for 3months

45
Q

Diastolic murmur

A

Aortic and pulmonary regurgitation
Mitral and tricuspid stenosis

46
Q

Which gives continuous murmur

A

Patent ductus arterosus

47
Q

When to consider surgical mx for aortic valve stenosis

A

When valve gradient >40mmHg and features of LV systolic dysfunction

48
Q

Biological vs prosthetic valve replacement

A

Biological: for older patient >65 as risk of calcification over time. Long term anticoagulant not usually needed

Mechanical increased risk of thrombosis- long term anticoagulant needed. Warfarin used in preference to DOAC

49
Q

Aortic dissection classification

A

Stanford and DeBakey

Stanford:
A- asc aorta , 2/3 of cases
B- describe aortal distal left subclavian 1/3 cases

DeBakey
Type I: asc aorta to at least aortic arch and possibly beyond dismally
Type II: asc aorta only
Type III: descending aorta

50
Q

Aortic dissection Ix

A

CXR: widened mediastinum
CT-Angio: stable pt , able to mx surgically
TOE: unstable pt risky to take to CT scanner

51
Q

Mx Aortic dissection

A

Type A: surgical mx, control SBP 100-120mmHg

52
Q

Inheritance of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

A

AD
Most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young pts

53
Q

Mx of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

A

ABCDE

amiodarone, beatable/ verapamil, cardioverter Defib
