A

MI or GI

33
Q

Is diaphoresis a good indicator of MI?

A

YES! if they are diaphoretic, you should be diaphoretic.

49
Q

3 ACS exam findings

A

*S3 or S4 (S4 never normal)

50
Q

Likelihood ratio:
LR >1
LR<1

A

Likelihood of correlation
LR>1 result assoc w/dz
LR<1 result assoc w/absence of dz

51
Q

> ? LR is highly significant (Jaynstein says __)

A

10, 5

52
Q
