42
Q

A patient comes in with chest pain that feels better with leaning forward and reports having recently gotten over cold-like symptoms. What does this person have? What should be done? How should she be treated?

A

Viral pericarditis…ECG should be done to confirm and CXR should be done to check for effusion…if there is an effusion it should be drained, otherwise NSAIDs for symptoms…consider colchicine to prevent recurrence

43
Q

A person had a positive mantoux and decided to start treatment for it. Some time later he comes in pleuritic chest pain that is better with leaning forward. What does this person have and what caused it? What is likely to be found on exam? What is likely to be found on ECG?

A

Isoniazid induced pericarditis

Friction rub can be heard with patient leaning forward
Pulsus paradoxus (10+mmHg drop in BP with inspiration)

Diffuse ST elevations and PR depression

44
Q

Besides a virus and isoniazid, what else can cause pericarditis?

A 
TB
SLE, uremia
Neoplasm
Hydralazine
Dressler syndrome
Radiation
Recent heart surgery
45
Q

A pericardiocentesis is done after an effusion is seen on CXR of a patient with pericarditis. The effusion is checked and found to have a specific gravity >1.020. What kind of effusion is this? What needs to be checked as the etiology of the pericarditis in this patient?

A

This is an EXUDATE (lots of proteins)

Neoplasm
Fribrotic
TB

46
Q

What can happen if pericarditis secondary to radiation or heart surgery is not treated?

A

Chronic constrictive pericarditis

47
Q

What causes the ‘constrictive’ part of chronic constrictive pericarditis?

A

Thickened pericardium (with possible calcification) decreases diastolic filling and CO

48
Q

What are s/s of chronic constrictive pericarditis?

A 
CHF symptoms (JVD [increased with inspiration = Kussmaul's sign], DoE, orthopnea, peripheral edema)
A fib is common
49
Q

A patient comes in for follow up to heart surgery after starting to have HF symptoms again. A cardiac catheterization is done that shows equal pressure in all chambers. What is likely to be seen on echo, CT, or MRI? What are the treatment options for this person?

A

Pericardial thickening and possibly calcifications…because this person has chronic constrictive pericarditis

NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids
Surgical excision of pericardium…high mortality

50
Q

A patient comes in with hypotension, distant heart sounds, and distended neck veins. What should be done? What would be seen on ECG?

A

This is Beck triad (cardiac tamponade) do a pericardiocentesis NOW

low voltage and sinus tach

51
Q

A person in one of the other Americas presents with signs of achalasia and HF. What is the likely etiology? What is a kinda weird thing that could be found on chest auscultation?

A

Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas disease) induced myocarditis

Diastolic murmur

52
Q

Besides Chagas disease, what else can cause myocarditis?

A

Infection: viral (Coxsackie most common), bacterial, rickettsiae, fungal, parasitic
Drug toxicity (cancer drugs, penicillins, sulfonamides, cocaine, radiation)
Toxins
Endocrine abnormalities

53
Q

A patient comes in that just looks awful: hot swollen joints…was this joint, now it’s that joint; fever; nodules on extensor surfaces; involuntary movements (Sydenham chorea); a painless rash (erythema marginatum). What does this patient have? How should this be treated?

A

This is acute rheumatoid fever…give NSAIDs for the joints, corticosteroids for severe carditis (pericarditis, myocarditis, valvulitis), and beta-lactam for infection

54
Q

How is acute rheumatic disease diagnosed?

A

Jones criteria: recent strep + 2 major OR 1 major and 2 minor (JONES PEACE)

E- Elevated temperature

Predisposing heart condition or IV drug use
Fever
Vascular phenomenon (arterial emboli, septic pulmonary infarcts, mycotic aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, Janeway lesions)
Immunologic phenomenon (glomerulonephritis, Osler nodes, Roth spots, positive rheumatoid factor)
Positive cultures not meeting requirements for major criteria, or serologic evidence of infection w/o positive culture

61
Q

Which bugs typically cause acute infective endocarditis?

A

Staph a
Strep pneumo
Strep pyo
N. gono

62

64
Q

Patient comes in with symptoms that seem like endocarditis, but don’t quite meet criteria; and there is a history of SLE. What is the possible diagnosis?

A

Libman-Sacks Endocarditis

65
Q

How is infective endocarditis treated?
