Cardiology Flashcards
Patient has fever and pleuritic chest pain that is relieved by sitting up and leaning forward
Pericarditis
Irregularly irregular pulse
Atrial Fibrillation
ECG - saw tooth baseline + 150bpm
Atrial Flutter
Alveolar bat’s wings, Kerley B lines, cardiomegaly, dilated prominent upper libe vessels pleural effusion
Pulmonary oedema
Raised JVP/ hepatojugular
Right sided heart failure
Sense of impending doom
MI
Saddle shaped ST elevation
Pericarditics
Broad complex tachycardia
Ventricular problme
Mid-diastolic murmur with a tapping, undisplayed apex
Mitral stenosis
Broad QRS with slurred upstroke on R wave (delta wave)
Wolff-Parkinson-white syndrome
Tall tented T waves
Hyperkalaemia
Patient gets pericarditis 4-6 weeks post MI
Dressler’s sndrome
Blurred yellowing vision headache
Digoxin Toxicity
January Lesions/ Osler’s Nodes
Subacute bacterial endocarditis
Continuous Machine like heart murmur
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Rib notching on CXR
Coarctation of the aorta
Crescendo decrescendo murmur
Aortic stenosis
Diminished absent lower limb pulses
Coarctation of the aorta
MRS ASS
Mitral regurgitations systolic, aortic stenosis systolic
Different sized kidneys
renal artery stenosis
Elevated catecholamines
Phaeochromocytoma
Loud S1 and plopping sound in early diastole
Left atrial myxoma
Muffled heart sounds
fluid in pericardial sac
Cardiac tamponade
Management of cardiac tamponade
Pericardiocentesis
Breast tenderness (males)
spironolactone
Raised cardiac enzymes and flu
Myocarditis
Opening snap and rumbling diastolic murmur, diastolic thrill over apex
Mitral stenosis
Verrucous vegetations. Anti-phospholipid antibody positive
Libman-Sacks endocarditis
Thiamine deficiency and poor near exam
Beri beri
Unexplained tachycardias, bradycardia with ventricular pacing
Pacemaker syndrome
Low K+ and low Mg+ with QT prolongation
Torsade de pointes
AG after heavy alcohol intake
Holiday heart
Large JVP v wave
Tricuspid regurgitation
Grey slate rash
Amiodarone
Reversal of internal organs, chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis
Kartagener’s syndrome
Aching muscles
Simvastatin
Ejection systolic murmur decreased by squatting
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Increased cardiac dullness, difficult to palpate apex, low BP and pulse pressure
Pericardial effusion
Visible capillary pulsation in fingers.
Head bobbing, early diastolic murmur
Arotic regurgitation
Reintal haemorrahges
Roth’s spots
Alternate flushing, blanching of finger nail
Quince’s sign
Painful pulp of fingers or toes caused by bacterial endocarditis
Osler’s nodes
X and y descent in JVP
Constrictive pericarditis
Right ventricular hypertrophy pulmonary stenosis overriding aorta and ventricular septal defect all occur in
Fallon’s tetralogy
Treatment for symptomatic mitral stenosis
Balloon valvulopasty
Abrupt distension and collapse of carotid arteries
Carrigan’s sign caused by aortic regurgtation
Turner’s syndrome and coartciation of aorta are closely associated
Rheumatic fever and mitral stenosis are common
Delta wave in V1
WPW
ST depression and tall R waves in V1, V2
Posterior MI
Systolic murmur and weak or unequal pulses
cortication of the aorta
Moon face, purple striae on abdomen
Cushing syndrome
Prominent jaw and brow. Glycosuria.
Sweating and headache
Acromegaly
Rheumatic fever coincides with
Mitral stenosis
