Day 7 - cardio Flashcards
cancer –> ascites what type?
Exudative (has cancer in the fluid)
portal HTN –> ascites, what type?
Transudative (fluid pushing out)
Serum-Ascites gradient is? tells?
Serum Albumin - Ascites Albumin = tells if exudative or transudative
exudative - >1
transudative
“onion skinning” bile duct on u/s = think?
Primary sclerosing cholangitis
“beads on a string” bile duct on U/S = think?
Primary sclerosing cholangitis
bloody diarrhea = infx cause diff dx (7)?
“Bloody SSEECCY”
- Shigella
- Salmonella
- E.coli
- Entomeoba
- Campylobactor (infx anywhere small or large bowel)
- CMV (HIV, immuncompromised)
- Yersenia entercolitica (inflames RLQ [cecum])
Pyloric stenosis workup?
1) Fix electrolyte imbalance
2) U/S
3) Myotemy
distal duodenum or jejunal ulcer think?
GASTRINOMA! (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome)
liver disease + hyper pigmentation = think?
Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis heart complication?
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (bc Iron depositing in wall of heart)
Workup hemochromatosis?
Dx:
1) Genetic testing (initial)
2) Liver biopsy (gold standard/confirm dx)
Tx:
mild - Phlebotomy
severe - Chelation therapy w/ defuroxamine
What do you use for chelation for hemochromatosis?
Defuroxamine
hazy aortic know w/ a large medastinal width = think?
aortic dissection
Initial treatment for aortic dissection?
Beta Blocker
Workup of aortic dissection?
1) beta blocker!!!
2) stable - spiral CT WITH contrast or X-ray
unstable - transesophageal echo
Cardiac Tamponade triad of symptoms?
- hypotension
- muffled heart sound
- JVD
costochondritis treat?
NSAIDs and rest
Pain at chostochondral junction = think?
costochondritis
workup of non-emergent chest pain?
nL EKG and can exercise –> Exercise treadmill test
nL EKG, but canNOT exercise –> pharm stress test
abnl EKG, but CAN exercise --> Exercise stress echo --> Exercise thallium (nuc med) abnl EKG, but canNOT exercise --> pharm stress echo (dobutomine, adenosine, dyperimadole) --> thallium stress test (nuc med)
Stress echo’s don’t utilize EKGs so you use them instead when EKG is abnl
HTN + prostate problem = what drug use?
alpha 1 blocker!
- zosin
-zosin = think?
alpha 1 blocker
Multiple coronary vessels effected in coronary issues –> treat?
Coronary artery bypass (CABG)
1 vessel effected in coronary issues –> treat?
Angioplasty and stenting
Indications for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)?
- 3 coronary vessels effected
- 2 vessels + risk factors/comorbidities (esp DM)
- Left main coronary artery effected
Indications for angioplasty and stenting (rather than CABG)?
limited vessels effected
- 1 vessel
- 2 vessels w/o risk factors/comorbidities
How to determine coronary vessels are “effected”/bad?
70% or more occlusion
In CABG what vessels are best to replace bad vessels w/?
ARTERIES! so do a coronary artery bypass w/ ARTERIES!
malignant HTN tell and treatment?
- IV nitro (1stline)
- IV labetalol (2nd)
Tell by doubling shock value (ie 90/60 x2) - equal to or higher in 1 or both values is malignant
LV dysfunction - most likely cause?
HTN
carotid massage helps w/ SVTs by?
slowing the heart down by increasing AV conduction delay
narrow complex tachycardia - think?
supraventricular tachycardia
supraventricular tachycardia
mild - vagal maneuvar (ie carotid massage)
mod - adenosine
severe - shock
Acute MI discharge which would provide greatest mortality benefit?
Beta Blockers
severe aortic stenosis treatment?
valvular replacement
mild aortic stenosis treatment?
ACE inhibitors
crescendo-decresendo systolic murmur heard at 2nd R intercostal space radiating to the carotids - think?
Aortic Stenosis
Asymmetric hypertrophy of the the ventricular septum w/o left ventricular dilation = think?
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCUM)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pts die from?
arrythmia
Treatment of Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCUM)?
beta blockers
best way to dx hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Dec preload (ie valsalva) --> inc murmur intensity Inc afterload (squeeze fist) --> dec murmur intensity
this is bc less blood in ventricle –> more the valve is covered –> inc murmur
and vice versa
Treatment of DVT?
admit pt
start LMWH –> bridge to warfarin w/ INR of 2-3
Goal INR of DVT treatment?
2-3
handgrip maneuver causes what?
Inc AFTERLOAD –> more blood in LV
Which murmurs inc w/ inc afterload?
Inc afterload –> more blood in LV
- Mitral regurg
- Aortic regurg
- VSD
Which murmurs dec w/ inc afterload (handrip maneuver)?
Inc afterload –> more blood in LV
- Aortic stenosis
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Rapid squatting causes what?
inc SVR and Preload
Rapid squatting causes wht in HOCUM and AS?
HOCUM DEC in intensity
AS INC intensity
