40
Q

A 45-year-old woman has had worsening shortness of breath for 3 years. She now has to sleep sitting up on two pillows. She has had difficulty swallowing for the past year. She has no history of chest pain. A month ago, she had a “stroke” with resultant inability to move her left leg and difficulty moving her left arm. She is afebrile. A chest radiograph reveals a near-normal left ventricular size with a prominent left atrial border. ``

A

mitral valve stenosis (possibly from past rheumatic fever)

41
Q

A 16-year-old healthy adolescent is involved in a schoolyard gang fight and stabbed in the chest with a knife in the left midclavicular line. He is taken to the emergency department and on arrival his blood pressure is barely obtainable. His lungs are clear to auscultation. His heart sounds are barely audible. Which of the following is the most likely acute condition that may preclude his survival?

A Myocardial contusion

B Aortic laceration

C Pericardial tamponade

D Endocarditis

E Acute infarction

A

C

42
Q

A 49-year-old woman had atrial fibrillation that was poorly controlled, even with amiodarone therapy. She suffered a “stroke” and died. At autopsy, her 600 gm heart is noted to have a mitral valve with partial fusion of the leaflets along with thickening and shortening of the chordae tendineae. There is an enlarged left atrium filled with mural thrombus. `

A

Rheumatic fever with mitral stenosis

43
Q

A 23-year-old woman has had worsening malaise along with a malar skin rash persisting for 3 weeks. On physical examination, she has an audible friction rub on auscultation of the chest, along with a faint systolic murmur. An echocardiogram reveals small vegetations on the mitral valve and adjacent ventricular endocardium. Laboratory studies show a positive antinuclear antibody test, with a titer of 1:2048.

What is the most likely cause of her fibrinous pericarditis?

A

uremia from renal failure (failure to remove damage inducing agent)

44
Q

A 27-year-old G2 P1 woman has a screening ultrasound performed at 18 weeks gestation. The fetus is appropriate in size for 18 weeks. The fetal kidneys, liver, head, and extremities appear normal. However, the fetus has a heart with a membranous ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, and marked pulmonic atresia. If the baby were to be liveborn, which of the following characteristics on physical examination would most likely result from these cardiac defects?

WHat is the cause?

A

tetrology of fallot causing cyanosis

The features are those of tetralogy of Fallot, which producces a right-to left shunt with cyanosis from mixing of right heart blood with left heart blood.

45
Q

hyperplastic arteriosclerosis vs atherosclerosis

A

malignant HTN vs lipid deposition

46
Q

A 20-year-old primigravida delivers a term baby girl following an uncomplicated pregnancy. No anomalies are noted at the time of birth. Five weeks later, the mother brings the baby to the clinic because she has difficulty breathing and occasionally turns pale. On physical examination a pansystolic murmur is audible. Which of the following congenital cardiac anomalies is most likely to be present in this infant?

A Hypertrophic subaortic stenosis

B Hypoplastic left heart syndrome

C Coarctation of the aorta

D Ventricular septal defect

E Bicuspid aortic valve

A

(D) CORRECT. The most common cardiac defect is a VSD. The baby may first become symptomatic when the pulmonary arteries dilate after the first month of life and the shunting from left-to-right increases.

47
Q

When does a VSD typically present with cyanosis?

A

The baby may first become symptomatic when the pulmonary arteries dilate after the first month of life and the shunting from left-to-right increases.

48
Q

A 60-year-old man had chest pain and was hospitalized. On the first day of admission, his CK-MB fraction was 9.8% of a total CK of 423 U/L. A coronary angiogram revealed 75% stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. Four days later he suddenly becomes worse, with marked hypotension. A pericardiocentesis is performed and returns 150 cc of bloody fluid. Despite aggressive resuscitative measures, he expires.

A

He has had an acute myocardial infarction complicated by rupture.

This is a typical complication about 3 to 5 days following the onset. 75% arterial narrowing is the point at which coronary occlusion becomes very serious.

49
Q

A 74-year-old man has had increasingly severe headaches for 2 months, centered on the right. He sees his physician, who records vital signs of T 36.9 C, P 82/minute, RR 15/minute, and BP 130/85 mm Hg. There is a palpable tender cord-like area over his right temple. His heart rate is regular with no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. Pulses are equal and full in all extremities. A biopsy of this lesion is obtained, and microscopic examination reveals a muscular artery with luminal narrowing and medial inflammation with lymphocytes, macrophages, and occasional giant cells. He improves with a course of high-dose corticosteroid therapy.

Dx
Lab finding
Tx

A

These are classic findings for temporal arteritis, the most typical involvement with giant cell arteritis.

Corticosteroid therapy typically produces a diminution in the symptoms.

The elevation of the sed rate is way out of proportion to the extent and amount of inflammation in this one arterial segment.

50
Q

myofiber disarray

A

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

drop dead with exercise

51
Q

A 58-year-old man has had an enlarging abdomen for 5 months. He has experienced no abdominal or chest pain. On physical examination he has a non-tender abdomen with no masses palpable, but there is a fluid wave. An abdominal CT scan shows a large abdominal fluid collection with a small cirrhotic liver. A chest radiograph shows a globally enlarged heart. He has vital signs showing T 37.1 C, P 78/minute, RR 16/minute, and BP 115/75 mm Hg.

A

dilated cardiomyopathy
