Cardiovascular Buzzwords 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, kerby B lines, cardiomegaly, dilated prominant upper lobe vessels, pleural effusion
pulmonary oedema
raised JVP/hepatojugular
right sided heart failure
sense of impending doom
MI
saddle shape St elevation
pericarditis
broad complex tachycardia
ventricular problem
mid-diasotlic murmur with tapping, undisplaced apex
mitral stenosis
broad QRS with slurred upstroke on R wave (delta wave)
wolff-parkinson-white syndrome
tall, tented T waves
hyperkalaemia (and wide QRS complex)
patient gets pericarditis 4-6 weeks post MI
Dressler’s syndrome
‘blurred yellowing vision headache’
digoxin toxicity
janeway lesions/osler’s nodes
subacute bacterial endocarditis
continuous machine like heart murmur
patent ductus arteriosus
rib notching on CXR
coarction of the aorta
cresendo-descendo murmur
aortic stenosis
diminished absent lower limb pulses
coarction of the aorta
MRS ASS
mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis - systolic murmurs
side effect of ACEI
dry cough , contraindicated in renal artery stenosis
radial-radial delay
aortic dissection (tear in wall of aorta)/ coarction of the aorta
slow rising pulse
aortic stenosis
splinter haemorrhage
infective endocarditis
infective endocarditis organisms?
staph aureus - main cause (prosthetic valves or IV drug users) strep viridans (alpha haemolytic) - present in mouth after dental surgery
atrial myxoma
a noncancerous tumour in the upper left or right side of the heart; most often grows on the wall that separates the two sides of the heart
cardiac tamponade
collection of blood/fluid/pus/clots/gas around the heart/pericardial space that prevents contractions. It is a medical emergency
treatment of pericarditis?
pain relief, NSAIDs
What is tetralogy of fallot?
congenita heart disease with the main features of: a large ventricular septal defect (equal ventricle pressure), overriding aorta, right ventricular outflow obstruction (causing pulmonary stenosis) and right ventricular hypertrophy
wide spread pulse?
aortic regurgitation aortic dissection, complete heart block, thyrotoxicosis, persistent doctor arterioles
what are the reversible causes of cardiac arrest?
Hypovolaemia Hypothermia Hyperkalaemia/hypokalaemia Hypoxia Tamponade Tension Pneumothorax Thromboembolism Toxin
Acute Limb Ischaemia?
Pallor Pain Pulseless Pale Parasthesia Perishingly cold
What is the treatment for different types of shock?
Volume replacement - Hypovalaemic Inotropes - Cardiogenic Chest drain - obstructive Vasopressor - Septic Adrenaline - anaphylaxis
