Q

Pulsus Paradoxicus

A

upon INSPIRATION, SBP drop by 10+ mmHG
seen in cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, severe asthma/COPD
reason? bc if expansion of heart is impaired or prevented, inspiration which causes increase in R atrial/ vent filling will cause bowing of septum, decreased LV vol and decreased SV

Q

coronary steal syndrome

A

in response to ischemia, local vasodilators cause coronary arteries supplying ischemic regions to preferentially dilate.
giving this patient a synthetic coronary artery dilator like adenosine or dipyramidole can shunt blood AWAY from ischemic areas making ischemia worse. this is bc a’s to ischemic areas are already max dilated, now these drugs are dilating other coronary a’s too

Q

varicose veins? what causes it? what does it cause?

A

dilated tortuous superficial veins of LE, due to incompetent valves/loss of wall strength
can cause skin ulcers, edema, stasis dermatitis, poor wound healing (note: major thrombotic events are rare bc its superficial veins.)

34
Q

what is most susceptible to atherosclerosis

A

Lower abdominal aorta

coronary As

35
Q

which arteritis’s involve granulomatous formation

A

GCA, takayasu

36
Q

carcinoid heart disease

A

carcinoid syndrome( a neuroendocrine tumor producing excess 5HT, histamine, and VIP) can cause cardiac symptoms. the extra serotonin stimulates fibroblast growth, and fibrous plaque causing TR, pulmonic valvulopathy, and RHF

37
Q

holosystolic murmur that increases in intensity upon inspiration

A

TR

38
Q

Origin of middle meningeal A

A

ECA-> maxillary A->MM

39
Q

what prevents edema in moderate elevations of central venous pressure?

A

increased lymph drainage. even though CVP is increasing, therefore capillary hydrostatic P is increasing, causing more fluid to be filtered into interstitial space, this is offset by increased lymph clearance

40
Q

Osler- Weber- Rendu syndrome

A

autosomal dominant condition of hereditary hemorrhagic telengectasias
common presentation: nosebleeds+ pale pink spider like lesions

41
Q

occlusion of RCA causes what kind of HF

A

RHF bc while yes, RCA supplies inferior LV via PDA it is not the only source of LV blood supply. Meanwhile, the RV is mainly only supplied by the RCA so RV failure is seen first. ( double check xray findings, and if lungs are clear you know this is only the RHF)

42
Q

how to decrease LVOT HOCM murmur

A

increase the preload or afterload.

- ex: squat/passive leg raise and handgrip

43
Q

hyperplastic arteriosclerosis vs hyaline arteriosclerosis?
describe each
what is each associated with

A

hyperplastic- onion skin like concentric thickening–> hypertensive crisis
hyaline- homogenous acellular thickening–> lower levels of hypertension

44
Q

murmur at RSB (w/ radiation to carotids) cresecendo decrescendo

A

AS

45
Q

where is angiotensinogen made

A

liver

46
Q

where is ACE found

A

pulmonary endothelial cells

47
Q

how does squatting help in a tet spell

A

it increases SVR, making the blood want to flow through stenotic pulmonary circulation instead of going into systemic

48
Q

after how long of ischemia do the cardiac myocytes stop contracting

A

1 minute due to ATP depletion and cellular toxins

49
Q

till how long after ischemia is injury reversible for the cardiac myocytes

A

30 minutes- until the adenosine is depleted

50
Q

what is normal LA max pressure

A

10 mmhg

51
Q

increase in LA max pressure and peaked, early, tall “v” waves in pressure tracing of LA is

A

mitral regurg

52
Q

severe MR can be indicated by what heart sound

A

S3- S3 is an indicator of LV dilation or increased blood flow into LV

53
Q

irregularly irregular rhythm

A

a-fib

54
Q

AAA pathogenesis

A

chronic transmural inflammation leads to weakening and progressive expansion of aortic wall due to MMPs released by inflamm cells

55
Q

Concentric hypertrophy of LV

A
  • caused by chronic increase in afterload – like aortic stenosis and chronic HTT
56
Q

liofuscin

A

yellow brown perinuclear pigment seen in aging/cachetic pts due to lipid peroxidation and free radical buildup

57
Q

why is it advisable to give aspirin before Niacin t(x) for hyperlipidemia

A

niacin (aka nicotinic acid) decreases LDL and TGs and increases HDL. However it also releases prostaglandins which causes the unwanted side-effect of flushing and itching. Aspirin which ihibits PGE production can help

58
Q

DIFFERENTIAL clubbing/cyanosis of LE only, without any discrepency in pulse or BP is what disease?

A

large PDA that has reversed from L->r flow to r–>L flow (eisenmenger)

59
Q

Rheumatic heart disease causes what patholologically

A

chronic inflamm and scarring of valve

60
Q

Infective endocarditis pathology

A

disruption of endocardial surface–> sterile platelet and fibrin attaches (nidus)–> after bacterial infection, bacteria colonize nidus

61
Q

enterrococcus endocarditis is usually preceded by what procedures

A
  • GU related or GI related

cystoscopy, obstetrics, colonoscopy

62
Q

isoproterenol

A

non selective B agonist. B1- increased contractility; B2- decreased TPR

63
Q

claudication caused by

A

atherosclerosis

64
Q

loss of what can make systolic HF significantly worse??

A

loss of atrial kick

65
Q

what is INR

A

patient’s PT/ control PT
- we are measuring PT bc Warfarin inhibits carboxylation of vit K dependent coag factors like Factor VII and remember factor VII is in extrinsic pathway (measured by PT)

66
Q

myxomatous changes in media are found in

A

“cystic medial degeneration” aka aortic aneurysm (often seen in Marfan’s)

67
Q

what jvp waveform is missing in an a-fib pt

A

“a” wave, first wave, has to do with atrial contraction

68
Q

adenosine side effects

A

flsuhing, chest burning, hypotension, high grade AV block

69
Q

most serious complication of kawasaki

A

coronary artery aneurysm

70
Q

where is cardiac action potential speed the fastest

A

purkinje cells

71
Q

where is cardiac action potential speed the slowest

A

AV node

72
Q

from fastest to slowed name the cardiac action potential cells

A

park at venture ave

purkinje, atrial, ventricular, AV node

73
Q

how does a cardiac myocyte relax after excitation and contraction

A

well it has to get the Ca2+ out of the cytoplasm in one of two ways

(1) Na+/Ca2+ exchanger
(2) SERCA- Ca2+ ATPase - this one brings Ca2+ back into SR

74
Q

how do you best listen to S3/S4?

A
  • use bell at apex

- lateral decubitus & end expiration to bring heart closer to chest

75
Q

nitrates work by

primarily venodilation

causes decreased preload, so reduces myocardial work and therefore myocardial oxygen demand
