CV: Ischemic, Myocardia, Pericardial, and Valvular Heart Dz Flashcards
Management of stable angina?
EKG
- if nml, do stress test and then cath (if stress test is positive)
- if ST/T abn = unstable angina (no need for stress test)
A positive stress test =
chest pain, ST depression, hypotension, or significant arrhythmias
Coronary steal during stress test:
dipyridamole causes blood flow redistribution to nondiseased veins in stress test
Management of angina:
- Mild angina (1 vein)
- Moderate (2 veins)
- Severe (3 veins)
- mild (1 vx) → Tx β-blocker + aspirin + nitrates
- moderate (2 vx) → Tx (above) vs. PTCA/CABG
- severe (3 vx) → Tx CABG
Unstable angina + biomarkers =
treatment?
NSTEMI
medical management
NSTEMI + EKG changes =
treatment?
STEMI
cath lab for PTCA or CABG
Tx of Acute coronary syndrome?
*Which reduce mortality?
- Morphine (analgesia)
- O2
- Nitrates (analgesia)
- Aspirin* ± clopidogrel
- β-blockers*
- ACE inhibitor* (remodeling)
- Statins
- Heparin vs. enoxaparin
EKG leads: Lateral = Inferior = Anterior = Posterior =
Lateral: I, aVL
Inferior: II, III, aVF
Anterior: V1-V4
Posterior: V1-V2
Prinzmetal (variant) angina:
dx?
inducible by?
EKG (ST-elevation during episode)
inducible by IV ergonovine
Defn and Management of CHF:
Class I?
Class II/III?
Class IV?
- class I sx only w/ vigorous activity → Tx loop diuretic + ACE inhibitor
- class II-III (II= sx with mod activity and III sx w/ ADLs)→ add β-blocker
- class IV (sx at rest) → add digoxin
Adenosine toxicity sx:
Nitrate toxicity:
Digoxin toxicity:
Adenosine toxicity: HA, flushing, nausea, SOB, chest pressure
Nitrate toxicity: headache, orthostatic hypotension, tolerance, syncope
Digoxin toxicity: atrial tachycardia w/ AV block
What enhances the murmur in HCM?
Symptoms?
Management?
Etiology?
↓preload (e.g. handgrip, Valsalva)
exertional dyspnea, angina,
syncope, sudden death in young athlete
dx with ECHO; if symptomatic, B blockers vs myomectomy vs pacemaker
Autosomal dominant, few are sporadic
How soes dialted cardiomyopathy presnet?
Dx o?
Tx?
Etiology?
presents as decr contractility with CHF symptoms
Dx: echo+CXR
Tx for CHF + heart txp (MC indication)
MI (MCC), infx, alcohol, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), etc.
Presentation of restrictive cardiomyopathy?
Dx
Tx?
Etiology?
presents as infiltration of myocardium → ↓compliance → CHF sx
Dx echo + endomyocardial bx to find cause
Tx underlying cause
Etiology: CASHES – carcinoid syndrome, amyloid, sarcoid, hemochromatosis, endocardial fibroelastosis (kids), scleroderma
Presentation of mycarditis?
dx?
etiology?
usually asx, can present w/ fever, chest pain, pericarditis
Dx ↑cardiac enzymes, ↑ESR
Etiology: coxsackie B virus (MCC)
*tx underlying cause
