aortic aneurysm on CXR
widened mediastinum
batwing pattern on CXR
pulmonary oedema
what is cryptogenic stroke
stroke of no apparent origin
cause of pyrexia unknown origin heart (2)
can be endocarditis
myxoma
In which patients would echo be no good
high BMI/COPD
how long to wait to see if LV ftn returned after MI
4-6 weeks - stunning
what imaging in high BMI/COPD
trans-oesophageal echo
what can you see on CTCA
plaques as well as flow
what medium angiography
x-rays
what mode shows pressure differentials across arterial narrowings
CT-FFR
what prep for CTCA
beta blocker
breath hold
what is coronary bypass acronym
CABG
what imaging to distinguish different cardiomyopathies
MRI
what contrast for MRI
gadolinium
what is MINOCA
like TIA of heart - brief occlusion
when is gadolinium contraindicated
low eGFR
what imaging shows flow differential under stress
MPS
what drug before MPS
adenosine - transient AV block
when is family history relevant in CVD
under 55 first degree relative
V5, V6 inverted T waves
LV strain
big wide QRS complexes
LVH
when is first heart sound on ECG
QRS complex
when is 2nd heart sound on ECG
end of T wave
pedunculated mass seen on heart Echo
myxoma
mode of inheritance HOCM
auto dominant
asymmetric septal hypertrophy
HOCM
what has the problem in HOCM
gene encoding β-myosin heavy chain protein or myosin-binding protein C
small or inverted T waves are a sign of
hypokalemia
