Cardiology Flashcards
Stable angina
-Predictable CP that occurs during exercise
-goes away with rest
-lasts less than 15 minutes
Describe unstable angina
-unpredicted CP that occurs at rest
-does not go away with rest
Management for stable angina
-low pretest likelihood: stress test
-high pretest likelihood: cath
-risk modification
-NTG
Management for unstable angina
NTG
Aspirin
Anticoag
Types of HF
-Systolic: Reduced EF (less than 40)
-Diastolic: Preserved EF (over 50)
symptoms of left sided HF
-DOE
-PND
-orthopnea
-crackles
symptoms of right sided HF
-JVD
-ascites
-peripheral edema
NYHA classifications (functional and structural)
1: no limitation of physical activity (asymptomatic)
2: slight limitation (symptoms with ordinary activity)
3: moderate limitation (asymptomatic only at rest)
4: symptoms at rest
Dx of HF
-CXR
-echo
Dx studies for acute decompensated HF
elevated BNP
chest XR: Kerley B lines, effusions
Echo is most helpful diagnostic tool
Tx for HF
-diuretics
-SGLT2 (flozins)
-ACE/ARB/ARNI
-BB
In HF, if EF is less than 35% what would you use
defibrillator
Management for acute decompensated HF
BiPAP: inc oxygenation, inc work of breathing, dec. preload/afterload
NTG: decrease preload/afterload
Furosemide: diuresis
Hypotension w/o signs of shock: dobutamine (may worsen hypotension)
Severe hypotension with signs of shock: norepinephrine (inc systemic vascular resistance, inc HR, inc BP, inc myocardial oxygen demand)
acute HF s/s
PICS
-Pink frothy sputum
-Inspiratory rales
-Cyanosis
-Severe dyspnea
management of acute HF
-oxygen
-IV loop diuretics
-NTG
CAD workup
EKG
STEMI management
-NTG and ASA
-cath
-PCI + plavix
-Tpa + UFH if PCI not available
etiology of endocarditis
-oral procedures
-IVDU
MC organisms for endocarditis
IVDU: staph aureus
Native valve: streptococci, S. aureus (mitral valve)
MC valve for IVDU endocarditis
tricuspid
s/s of endocarditis
from jane
-fever, chills
-SOB
-murmur
-petechiae
-splinter hemorrhages
-janeway lesions
-osler nodes
-roth spots
PE for endocarditis
(FROM JANE)
MC: Fever
Roth spots
Osler nodes
Murmur
Janeway lesions
Anemia
Nail bed hemorrhages
Emboli
janeway lesions vs osler nodes
-janeway: painless patches on palms or soles
-osler: painful nodules on pads of fingers
(osler, OW!!)
diagnostic criteria of endocarditis
-positive blood culture
-evidence on echo
-symptoms present
management of endocarditis
IVDU
prosthetic valve
native valve
-native valve: gent +pen g (UTD: Vanc+Ceftriaxone)
-IVDU: gent+ vanc+ nafcillin
-prosthetic valve: gent + vanc+ rifampin
endocarditis prophylaxis
amoxicillin prior to dental or respiratory tract procedures
treatment for sinus arrhythmia
none
treatment for sinus bradycardia
pacemaker
What is sick sinus syndrome also known as?
tachy-brady syndrome
Tx for sick sinus syndrome
pacemaker
Tx for sinus tach
BB
treatment for 1st degree AV block or 2nd type 1
none
Tx for 1st degree AV block or 2nd type 1
none
treatment for 2nd degree type 2 or 3rd degree
pacemaker
tx of PAC
BB or CCB
Describe a PVC. + What is it most commonly caused by?
Early, wide, “bizarre” QRS, no P wave seen
Most commonly caused by SA node dysfunction (rosh)
Tx of PVC
Pacemaker and medication for rate control (BB)
Tx of PSVT
HR 120-200 beats per minute
Vagal maneuvers
adenosine
cardioversion if hemodynamically unstable
Tx of ectopic atrial arrhythmias
BB or CCB
