Cardiology Flashcards
Beta Blockers
slow AV conduction, increase PR interval
decrease cAMP, Ca currents
Esmolol
very short acting
Metoprolol side effect
dyslipidemia
Nitroglycerin - molecular mechanism
NO –> increase cGMP –> decrease Ca/MLCK –> dephosphorylation –> SM relaxation (vasodilate!)
Nitrates - sympomatic relief by
decrease cardiac preload/LV volume
NO/Nitrates primarily work on
VEINS
Nitrate with highest bioavailability
isosorbide mononitrate
Beta Blockers affect preload/afterload
afterload
Ca Channel blocker mechanisms
block L type channels
reduce muscle contractility
(slow diastolic depolarization)
Digoxin side effects
N/V, blurry vision
ECG changes
hyperkalemia
autoregulation of coronary blood flow
NO
Causes of Pulsus Paradoxus
acute cardiac tamponade
constrictive pericarditis
restrictive cardiomyopathy
severe obstructive lung dz
milrinone
vasodilation
maintenace dose
Cpss x CL / bioavailability fraction
cause of tetralogy of fallot
abnormal neural crest cell migration
trauma affects
aortic arch rupture
CO =
SV x HR
MAP
CO x TPR
preload
ventricular EDV
Preload increases with
exercise
increased BV
sympathetics
Afterload
mean arterial pressure
venodilators
nitroglycerin
decrease preload
vasodilators
hydralazine
decrease afterload
EF =
SV / EDV
increase handgrip, murmur at LSB
VSD
Bicuspid Aortic Valve
aortic stenosis
Severe Aortic Stenosis
LV hypertrophy, reduced LV compliance
decrease in LV preload
Mitral Stenosis Severity
S2 to opening snap interval
Ventricular Action Potential
Phase O - Na 1 - K influx 2 - Ca 3 - K efflux (close Ca channels) 4 - K permeability
Pacemaker Action Potential
0 - VG Ca channels open
3 - inactivate Ca channels, increase K efflux
4 - slow diastolic depolarization, inward Ca
heart rate determined by
slope of phase 4 in SA node
U wave
hypokalemia, bradycardia
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome
congenital long QT syndrome
defects in cardiac sodium or potassium channels
congenital sensorineural deafness
ANP
released in response to increase BV and atrial pressure
causes relaxation, decreased Na reabsorption
constricts efferent renal arterioles
dilates afferent renal arterioles
“escape from aldosterone”
PCWP
apprxoimation of LAP
LAD
anterior wall
V1-4
LCX
lateral wall
I, avL
RCA
inferior wall
II, III, aVF
Causes of Dialted Cardiomyopathy
Alcohol, wet Beriberi, Coxsackie B, Cocaine, Chagas, Doxorubicin
hemochromatosis, peripartum
Causes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
AD/B myosin heavy chain mutation
Friedreich’s ataxia
Restricture Cardiomyopathy causes
sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, radiation, hemochromatosis,
endocardial fibroelastosis
Loffler’s syndrome
Loffler’s syndrome
eosinophilic infiltrate
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy treatment
B blocker
Non -DHP Ca Channel Blocker
CHF - systolic
decrease in contractility
CHF - diastolic
inability of heart to relax to accomodate incoming blood during diastole
CHF ultimately causes
decrease CO
inadequate O2 tissue delivery
Cellular Responses to CHF
increase RAS
increase Sympathetic output
increase RAS
Na retention Aldosterone Vasoconstriction (increase afterload)
cardiac cath
advance right to left
A fib ventricular rate determined by
AV node refractory period
Chronic AV fistula
increase CO
decrease TPR
V Wave
Mitral regurg
Biventricular pacemaker
RA, RV, LV
LV – soronary sinus/AV groove
fibrinous pericarditis
dressler’s syndrome
uremia
radiation
serous pericarditis
viral
non infections – RA, SLE
purlent/suppurative pericarditis
bactieral infections (Pneumococcus, Streptocccus)
Cardiac Tamponade
increased JVD
distant heart sounds
pulsus paradoxus
scattered cells within a mucopolysacchride strome
myxoma
polyarteritis nodosa association
Hep B
Kawaski dz treatment
IV immunoglobulin and aspirin

Time after MI: 12-24 hrs
coag nec
marginal contraction band necrosis
Time after MI: 1-5 d
