CV Disease Pt 2 Flashcards
“Pulseless Disease”- inflammation/thickening of aortic arch and/or proximal great vessels, causing weak pulse
Takayasu arteritis
Symptoms of Takayasu arteritis
Upper extremity claudication, angina, CHF, absent pulses, arterial bruits, BP difference b/w 2 arms
Symptoms d/t ischemia of vessels in the carotid artery region including unilateral headache, visual disturbance (impairment of ophthalmic artery) and jaw claudication
Temporal arteritis
Tx for temporal arteritis
Start steroids IMMEDIATELY to prevent blindness
Inflammation of small & medium sized arteries. Smoker’s dz. Foot claudication, leg pain, ulceration, skin necrosis
Buerger’s Disease “Thromboangiitis Obliterans”
Triad of upper & lower airway disease and renal disease (glomerulonephritis). Sx: Sinusitis & hematuria
Wegener’s granulomatosis
Dx and Tx for Wegener’s granulomatosis
Dx: ANCA (antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies);
Tx: Cyclophosphamide, steroid and/or methotrexate
Involves medium-sized arteries in kidneys, gut, & skin.
S/Sx: fever, weight loss, malaise, abd pain, Melina, HA, myalgia, HTN, & cutaneous eruption.
Microaneurysms on angiography.
Tx: cyclophosphamide, steroid
Polyarteritis nodosa
Acute, self-limiting necrotizing vasculitis in infants & children. (Asian population)
Fever, conjunctivitis, changes in lips/oral mucosa “strawberry tongue”, lymphadenitis, desqumative rash.
Kawasaki disease
Tx for Kawasaki disease
Aspirin, immunoglobulins
Bad sign that shows global ischemia
Third heart sound
EKG is gold standard in first \_\_\_\_ Myoglobin \_\_\_\_\_ CK-MB test of choice in first \_\_\_\_ post MI Troponin-I \_\_\_\_ LDH1 is elevated \_\_\_\_\_ post MI
EKG= 6hrs; Myoglobin= < 2hrs CK-MB = 24hrs Troponin-I = 4hrs to 7-10 days LDH1 = 2-7 days
Angina pectoris = CAD narrowing > ___
75%
Most ominous sign of CAD
Unstable angina- pain that occurs at rest or w/out a provoking cause
CP occurring more and more frequently with less and less exertion
Crescendo angina
EKG with unstable angina
ST depression or T wave inversion (must distinguish from non-Q wave MI)
Angina at rest a/w ST elevation (hallmark) secondary to coronary artery spasm.
Prinzmetal’s angina
Tx for Prinzmetal’s angina
Nitrates and CCB to tx vasospasm
How do nitrates relive angina
Venodilation which decreases cardiac wall tension
How do CCB relieve angina?
Most potent to least potent?
By decreasing afterload, HR, and contractility;
Verapamil > Diltiazem > Nifedipine
Avoid ____ in bronchial spasm, CHF, or bradycardia
beta blockers
MCC of acute MI
Chronic coronary atherosclerosis
Acute MI most often occurs in which arteries greatest to least?
LAD > RCA > circ
What does persistent elevation of CK-MB indicate?
Post infarct ischemia- do cath, give heparin and nitro
Acute management of MI
BOOMAR
Bed rest, Oxygen, Opiate, Monitoring, Anticoagulation, Reduce clot size
Post infarct ischemia is most common after what type of MI?
Non-Q wave MI
Poor prognostic signs a/w pump failure post MI:
Pulmonary edema (crackles) & HR increase to maintain CO
Interventricular septum (L -> R) 4-10 days post MI -> SHOCK and cardiac tamponade
Rupture of ventricular free wall
