28
Q

5-10 weeks following MI. pleuritic CP

A

Dressler’s syndrome - thought to be autoimmune, treat with NSAIDs or aspirin

29
Q

CP, murmur, vague history of viral illness

A

myocarditis

30
Q

*** CP at rest, worse at night, also migraine HA and EKG shows transient ST elevation with episodes

A

Prinzmetal angina, dx with ergonovine stim tests

31
Q

*** pt is diagnosed with Prinzmetal angina following ergonovine stim test, what is tx?

A

CCB or nitrates

32
Q

progressive prolongation of PR interval followed by dropped beat

A

Mobitz type 1

33
Q

regular p-p and r-r intervals but no pattern between p and qrs

A

3rd degree heart block - would see cannon-a wave

34
Q

multifocal atrial tachycardia

A

rapid, irregular atrial rhythm arising from multiple foci in atria; severely sick pt with lung/heart path; poor prognosis

35
Q

normal QRS

A

< 0.12 sec = 3 small squares

36
Q

normal PR

A

< 0.2 sec = typically 3-5 small squares

37
Q

vtach tx

A

unstable = shock; stable = medical tx (lidocaine, amiodarone)

38
Q

delta wave

A

gradual up-sloping of QRS complex

39
Q

*** QRS > 120 ms with slurred initial deflection representing early ventricular activation via the bundle of Kent

A

WPW; tx with procainamide

40
Q

*** rx CI in WPW

A

anything that slows the AV node - bb, digoxin, verapamil, diltiazem

41
Q

regular rhythm with ventricular rate 125-150 and atrial rate 250-300

A

atrial flutter

42
Q

*** OD of ___ or ____ can lead to torsades

A

Lithium or TCA

43
Q

girl in her 20s with sudden palpitations found to have EKG with regular rhythm and rate 200, what is it and what to do?

A

SVT, tx is NON-rx first -> carotid massage or face in ice

44
Q

causes of hyperkalemia

A

burn victim, renal failure, crush injury

45
Q

EKG with undulating baseline, low-voltage; pt has pulsus paradoxus, hypotension, distant heart sounds, JVD

A

electrical alternans in cardiac tamponade

46
Q

why low voltage with EKG of tamponade

A

blood buffering voltage

47
Q

first line of afib tx

A

rate control

48
Q

causes of AS

A

age with calcific degeneration, congenital anomaly (bicuspid like Turners)

49
Q

*** systolic cresc/decresc murmur that is louder with squatting + parvus et tardus on palpation of pulse

A

AS

50
Q

*** late systolic murmur with click that is louder with valsalva and handgrip

A

MV prolapse

51
Q

*** holo-systolic murmur loudest at apex and radiates to axilla

A

MR

52
Q

continuous machine like murmur

A

PDA

53
Q

wide fixed split S2

A

ASD

54
Q

rumbling diastolic murmur with an opening snap

A

MS

55
Q

*** blowing diastolic murmur with widened pulse pressure

A

AR

56
Q

two diastolic murmurs especially important in the aging population

A

MS + AR

57
Q

how does squatting, inspiration, and handgrip affect blood flow?

A

INCREASES blood flow return to the heart

58
Q

how does standing and valsalva affect blood flow?

A

DECREASES blood flow return to the heart

59
Q

what maneuvers can you do to increase preload?

A

squatting, handgrip, inspiration

60
Q

what maneuvers decrease preload?

A

valsalva

61
Q

*** which murmurs are worsened by increased preload?

A

stenotic and regurgitant valves - AS, MS, AR, MR

62
Q

*** these two murmurs are made LOUDER by DECREASED preload

A

HCOM and MV prolapse

63
Q

why is HCOM worse with valsalva (decreased preload)

A

without blood to push thing open, the hypertrophied septum covers the aortic opening

64
Q

D\does less preload mean LOUDER floppy valves of MV prolapse?

A

YES

65
Q

what to do for pt with SOB + murmur + hx of CHF

A

get an echo

66
Q

acute pulmonary edema tx

A

nitrates, lasix, morphine

67
Q

young pt who has sx of CHF and recent hx of viral illness

A

myocarditis, most likely coxsackie

68
Q

*** what test can help you differentiate CHF from pulmonary HTN?

A

right heart cath
