Q

Restrictive is systolic or diastolic

A

Diastolic- ventricles are smaller they can not expand or relax. they are unable to bring as much volume into the ventricle and output is decreased

Q

Hyertrophic is systolic or diastolic

A

Diastolic- septum is hypertrophic and blocks blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and decreased CO

Q 
What cardiomyopathy has this patho- dysfunciton in contractile ability of myoctes leading to 
decrease outflow
compensatory dilation of ventricles 
increase volume filling 
atria dilate 
decrease outflow and back up

Q 
What cardiomyopathy has this patho- bad myoctes proteins that cause 
decrease contractiosn of the myocetes
compensatory hypertophy
smaller ventricles
decreased filling

Q

Why is Hyertrophic - HOCM so dangerous- what is happening in the heart to make it dangerous?

A

two main problems

  1. walls are thick and cause a filling problem that leads to intermittent outflow obstruction
  2. this will lead to and increased HR that is dangerous

Treatment for Restrictive

A 
Low sodium diet
diuretics 
ACE-I 
BBlocker or CCB 
pacemaker 
Transplant
28
Q

What other imagaing/tests besides ECHO is good to obtain with Dilated Cardiomyopathy

A
  1. Angiogram to rule out ischemia

2. Bx of heart muscle

29
Q

What other imagaing/tests besides ECHO is good to obtain with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

A
  1. Angiogram - can look like pericarditis
  2. BX = fibrosis and finlitration
  3. MRI- Gadoliniumhypernhancement
  4. cardica cath- high diastolic pressure mildly reduced left ventricle function
30

Treatment for Myocarditits

A

Treat like HF

  1. BBlocker
  2. ACE-I
  3. ARB
  4. Limit acitivty for 6 months
48
Q

what medication do you need to avoid in Myocarditits

it will increase mortality !

A

NSAIDS - thats why you need to be sure its not pericarditis your treating

49
