Q

GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors - clinical use / pt

A

acute coronary sundromes (only unstable angina and non-stemi) in those who are to undergo angioplasty and stenting
they lead to reduction in mortality on those with ST depression, esp with high enzymes who then develop muocardial infraction requiring PCI with stenting

Q

AR - valve replacement

A
  • EF less than 55 or LVESD greater than 55

- Repairing the valve means tightening the ends of the valve with sutures

30
medium size vasculitis - epidimiology and treatments
Buerger disease --> male smoker under 40 --> stop smoking Kawasaki --> asian under 4 --> IV immunogl + aspirin Pol nodosa --> young adults (HBV in 30%) --> corticosteroids + cyclophosp
31
initial management of GERD
- fewer than 2 episodes of symptoms per week: lifestyle changes and antihistamines as needed - patients with more frequent or severe symptoms, evidence of erosive esophagitis, or laryngopharyngeal involvement should be managed with an 8-week course of a PPI
32
β-blockers intoxication - treatment
- IV fluids and atropine are the first line options | - if profound or refractory hypotension --> glucagon
33
hypertensive emergencies - target (if fast decreasing?)
target: lowering 10-20% in the first hour and by another 5-15% in the next 23 hours excessive drop can cause cerebral iscemia (mental status + seizures)
34
HOCM - ECG
LV hypertrofy: tall R in aVL + Depp S in V3 (Cornell criteria) 2. Repolarization changes in anterolateral leads (I, aVL, V4, V5, V6)
35
Approximate decrease in BP with life style modification
1. Weight loss: 5-20 per 10 kg loss 2. Diet with fruit + vegetables + low fat: 8-14 3. Exercise: 30 min / d 5 days per week: 4-8 4. Less than 3 g sodium /day: 2-8 Less than 2 drinks in men and 1 in women : 2-4
36
Medication withhold prior to cardiac stress
Hold for 2 days: b-blockers, CCB, nitrates Hold 2 days prior to vasodilatory test: dypirodamole Hold 12 h prior to vasodilatory test: caffeine Continue: ACEi, digoxin, diuretics,statins
37
HyperTG - management
- evaluation of 2ry causes - if less 150-500: lifestyle modification (and statin in cardiovascular risk) - if more than 1000: pancreatitis prevention (fibrates, fish oil, no alcohol) --> if drop more than 500 -> lifestyle modif
38
Guidelines for lipid-lowering therapy (general)
1. LDL more than 190 2. Clinically significant atherosc disease (ASC, angina, mi, stoke, TIA, PAD: if younger than 75: high intenisity, moderate for older than 75 3. age 40-75 with DM 40-75 4. estimated 10 years ASCVD risk 7.5% or more: moderate to high
