Family Medicine EOR Exam Flashcards
Stable Angina
Relieved by rest and/or NTG
Unstable Angina
Stable angina that increasingly occurs at rest and is more frequent
Prinzmetal angina
Coronary artery vasospasm causing transient ST-elevations
No clot
Narrow QRS complex with absent or inverted P wave
PJC - Premature Junctional Contraction
Narrow complex tachycardia with no discernable P waves
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Sawtooth pattern with narrow QRS
Atrial flutter
Arrhythmia in which bradycardia alternates with tachycardia
Brady-tachy sick sinus syndrome
Sinus arrest
Absence of sinus activity for 3+ seconds
NSTEMI
St segment depression , t wave inversion, or both
Cardiac markers elevated!
STEMI
Elevated Cardiac biomarkers WITH ST segment elevation
Chest pain releived by sitting and leaning forward
Pericarditis
Severe tearing, ripping, knife like pain radiating to the back
