28
Q

aortic stenosis

A

ejection systolic murmur with crescendo-decrescendo quality, heard loudest over the aortic valve radiating to the carotid arteries

29
Q

aortic regurgitation

A

early diastolic murmur heard loudest at the left sternal edge

30
Q

mitral regurgitation

A

pansystolic murmur heard loudest over the mitral area which radiates to the axilla (tricuspid regurgitation is louder on inspiration)

what determines speed of referral for heart failure

37
Q

heart failure treatment

1)ACEi and BB
2)spironolactone
3)specialist

38

-chronic alcohol
-smoking

41

-amiodarone
-allopurinol
–azoles
-SSRIs
-valproate

42
Q

what should you never do with metformin

A

give contrast because there can be lactic acidosis

43
Q

MI then widespread systolic murmur, hypotension and pulmonary oedema

A

rupture of papillary muscle causing acute mitral regurgitation

44
Q

patient from Africa already takes a CCB, needs more HTN treatment

A

ARB rather than ACEi

45
Q

low sodium

46

what drug precipitates digoxin toxicity

A

indapamide (thiazide diuretics)

47
Q

what drugs trigger haemolysis in G6PD deficiency

A

sulph drugs eg suplonamides, sulphasalazine and sulfonylureas

48
Q

proximal saphenous vein thrombophlebitis investigation

A

straight to venous US of leg to rule out DVT without doing D dimer as this can be raised in both diseases

49
Q

angina med situation

A
  • aspirin and statin with GTN
  • BB or CCB
  • if CCB alone, use verapamil or diltiazem
  • if with BB then use amlodipine or mod-release nifedipine
