Cardiology Flashcards
Major criteria for rheumatic fever
polyarthritis carditis subcutaneous nodules erythema marginatum syndenham chorea
Wolff Parkinson White triad
Wide QRS complex
Short PR interval
Delta wave: slurring of the initial part of the QRS complex
Triad of chronic renal failure in ECG
Peaked T waves (hyperK)
Long QT due to ST segment lengthening (hypocalcemia)
LVH (Systemic hypertension)
Beck’s triad of cardiac tamponade
Hypotension
Muffled heart sounds
distended neck veins
Major determinants of myocardial oxygen demand
Heart rate
Myocardial contractility
Myocardial wall tension

Claudication of affected extremity
Raynaud’s phenomenon
Migratory superficial vein thrombophlebitis
Clinical syndrome of hematochromatosis
Cirrhosis
Diabetes
Hypogonadism
Duroziez sign
to and fro murmur over femoral artery
Broadbent’s sign
apical pulse reduced and may retract in systole
Traube’s sign
“pistol shot” sound over the femoral arteries
corrigan’s pulse
rapidly rising water hammer pulse
Stokes adams syndrome
AV block that causes fainting due to initially suppressed state of myocardial fibers
Bainbridge reflex
increase in venous return increased heart rate
Beta blockers shown to improve life expectancy following acute MI
