Emma H review Flashcards
*** scary new ekg changes that say STEMI
2mm ST elevation or new LBBB
wide flat QRS
LBBB
anterior infarct
LAD; V1-V4
lateral infarct
Circumflex; I, avL, V4-V6
Inferior infarct
RCA; II, III and aVF
R ventricular infarct
RCA; V4 on right sided ekg is 100% specific
*** V1-V4 lead changes
Anterior and LAD
*** II, III and avF changes
Inferior, RCA
thrombolytic window
6 hrs
CI to thrombolytics
active bleed, anticoagulated, recent ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, recent closed head trauma
hypotension, tachycardia, JVD but lungs are clear
R ventricular infarct - Don’t give nitro b/c risk of hypotension, give fluid with NS bolus!
patient with chest pain but normal EKG, what next?
cardiac enzymes, at least 3 sets q8hr
*** when does troponin rise and when normal by
rise 3-5 hrs, nl by 7-10 days
labs for repeat infarct
CKMB or myoglobin*
MI cocktail
morphine, oxygen, nitrates, aspirin/clopidogrel, bb
you find a lesion on coronary angiography, what to do?
PCI or CABG
when to CABG?
L main disease 3 vessel disease or 2 vessel disease PLUS DM >70% occlusion pain despite maximal medical tx post-infarction angina
*** medication after MI
aspirin + clopidogrel if stent bb ACEi in CHF of LV dysfunction Statin SA nitrates
*** pt with chest pain but normal EKG and cardiac enzymes, what to do?
stress test for suspect angina
*** when can’t you do a stress test
abnormal baseline EKG (LBB or baseline ST elevation)
on digoxin
findings of a + stress test
chest pain reproduced, ST depression, hypotension
Cause of death post-MI
arrhythmias, namely V-fib
New systolic murmur 5-7 days following MI
papillary muscle rupture with MR
acute severe hypotension following MI
ventricular free wall rupture
“step up” in O2 concentration from RA to RV following MI
ventricular septal rupture
*** persistent ST elevation ~ 1 mo later + systolic MR murmur post MI
ventricular wall aneurysm
cannon-A waves
bounding pulsations of jugular vein - AV dissociation, either v-fib or 3rd degree heart block (AV node ischemia)
