CV Flashcards
Central cyanosis
Hypoxia lung disease
RL shunt- CHD/ eisenmenger
Methaemoglobinaemia- drugs/ toxins
Irregularly irregular pulse
AVCV A fib Ventricular ectopic beats Complete heart block Variable ventricular escape
Causes of a fib
IHD Rheumatic heart disease Thyrotoxicosis Pneumonia PE Alcohol
Absent radial pulse
Congenital- bilateral Arterial emboli (a fib) Subclavian atheroma Previous arterial line Previous coronary angiography Cervical rib Coarctation of aorta
A fib vs VEBS
Exercise abolishes VEB, a fib stays
Collapsing pulse
Aortic regurgitation
Radio-radial, radio-femoral delay
Cervical rib- r r
AD
Coarcation
Embolism
CACE
Pulsus paradoxus
Cardiac tamponade
Constrictive pericarditis
RCM
Severe COPD
Malar flush
Mitral stenosis
Corrigans sign
Exaggerated pulsation of carotid
Bisiferiens pulse
Mixed AS/AR
Elevated JVP
RHF
Volume overload
PE
Constrictive pericarditis
Elevated JVP decreased bp
Tension pneumothorax
Cardiac tamponade
Massive PE
Elevated JVP and fixed
SVC obstruction
Canon A waves
Complete heart block
VEBS
VT
GIANT V waves
TR
- ear wiggling
- pulsatile HM
Features of JVP
MOPHAIR Multi wave form, double flicker Occludable Postural changes HJR Above filling Impalpable Respiratory changes
Kussmaul sign
Increase JVP on inspiration due to impaired RV filling
Tamponade
Constrictive pericarditis
RCM
