54
Q

Normal ankle- brachial index

A

> 0.90

55
Q

WPW syndrome

A

Genetic conduction abnormality, in which abnormal conduction pathway exist, that allows re-and Trent tachycardia pathway to bypass a normal AV node conduction pathway, resulting in superventricular tachycardia, 

56
Q

EKG changes with WPW

A

Short PR interval, presence of delta wave

57
Q

Do not give what medications with WPW

A

Adenine, digoxin, or calcium channel blockers- enhance conduction through abnormal pathway by increasing refractory. And AV node resulting in ventricular fibrillation.
