Q

s3

A 
CHF! or heart failure
occurs during "early diastole" 
aka" ventricular gallop"
alway abnormal if >35yo
normal in young children and athletes if no other s/s

In older individuals it indicates the presence of congestive heart failure. The third heart sound is caused by a sudden deceleration of blood flow into the left ventricle from the left atrium.

Q

s4

A

LVH
stiff left ventricle
The fourth heart sound (S4), when audible, is caused by vibration of the ventricular wall during atrial contraction. This sound is usually associated with a stiffened ventricle (low ventricular compliance), and therefore is heard in patients with ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia, or in older adults.

aka “atrial gallop” or “atrial kick”

increase risk for rhabdo:

grapefruit juice
fibrates ( except fenofibrate)
antifungals! (intraconazole, ketonazole)
macrolide
amiodarone
CCB (dilt, amloidipine, verapamil)
42
Q

tx plan for high cholesterol

A

lifestyle (weight loss, exercise most days, smoking cession ), dash (low salt, low sat fat)
soluble fiber (inulin, guar gum, fruit, veges)
beneficial stanols and sterols (benecol, smart balance margarine)

smoking
BMI>30
microalbuminuria
CAD, PVD
44
Q

albuminuria values

A

ln a single urine specimen, a level of more than 30 mg of albumin per gram of creatinine is considered positive.

For a 24-hour urine collection, 30 to 300 mg of albumin means albuminuria.

CA: >1:30

45

alternate: bile acide séquestrants

high trig- avoid junk food
low HDL- exercise

46
Q

rhabo labs

A

> CK: 10,000-25,000
proteinuria in up to 45% LFT
pain, weakness, dark urine

47
Q

advice if low HDL

A

aerobics
niacin OTC
or tx niacin (niaspan) or fibrates
