Cardiology_UW_Pretest Flashcards
TCA overdose should be treated with
Sodium bicarbonate
Turner syndrome is a/w karyotype?
XO karyotype
Marfan syndrome mutation?
15a21.1
Incidence of congenital heart disease in population is ? If one child has CHD, risk for second child? If 2 children have CHD, risk for third is?
1%; 2-6%; 20-30%
Kawasaki presentation
Prolonged fever, polymorphous rash, extremity changes (swelling in early period, peeling in later), non-purulent conjunctivitis, lymphadenopathy, oral mucosal changes.
How do you diagnose infective endocarditis
Serial positive blood cultures and echo findings of vegetations and mycoardial abscesses
Tx for infective endocarditis
Appropriate antibiotic for 4-8 weeks; surgical intervention is reserved for patients with valvular obstruction, CHF or abscess.
Organisms that cause IE?
Strep, Staph, coag neg strep pneumo, HACEK organisms (haemophilis, actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, eikenella corrodens, kingella)
SVT is characterized by what heart rate
Above 250bpm
Adenosine is used to treat?
SVT if maneuvers don’t work. It’s a vasodilator
First line tx for SVT
Maneuvers like carotid massage, face immersion in cold water, voluntary straining
Ebstein anomaly murmur
Tricuspid regurg murmur, mid-diastolic murmur (due to tricuspid stenosis), quadruple rhythm (s3 and s4)
Presentation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis?
1) Polyarthritis (five or more joints, systemic sx not so severe or persistent) 2) pauciarticular (4 or fewer joints, LE joints, extra-articular disease) or 3) systemic disease (severe constitutional disease, systemic sx prior to arthritis, rheumatoid rash, high spiking fevers, also known as still’s disease).
What kind of swelling can JIA cause?
Spinle shaped swelling of finger joints
LVH, L v impulse with left axis deviation and left ventricular hypertrophy due to a congenital heart disease, makes you think of?
Tricuspid atresia. In tricuspid atresia, there’s hypoplastic RV => no right axis deviation => left axis deviation
Neonatal lupus can cause what heart condition?
Congenital heart block. Rare manifestation of transferred maternal IgG autoantibodies. Infants can have thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, rash and liver dysfunction.
Turner syndrome phenotype
Webbed neck, widely spaced nipples, narrow high arched palate, low set ears, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of the aorta, horse shoe kidneys, streak ovaries, amenorrhea, infertility
Common cardiac abnormalities with turner syndrome
Do echo to check for 1) bicuspid aortic valve 2) coarctation of aorta and 3) aortic root dilation
VSDs are a/w mostly with?
Aneuploidys. 13, 18 and 21.
MVP is a/w patients with what?
Connective tissue disorders (marfan, ehlers danlos, OI)
Most common congenial heart disease in neonatal period
Transposition of the great arteries
PE and Xray findings for TGA
Loud single S2, VSD murmur may or may not be present depending on whether there is a VSD; egg on a string heart (narrow mediastinum)
Tx for TGA?
Start prostaglandins immediately to keep PDA open till septostomy of surgical repair can be done.
Most common congenital heart disease after neonatal period
Tetralogy of Fallot
What are the precordial leads
V1-V3
