FInal Flashcards
When do you hear systolic vs diastolic murmurs
Systolic btw S1 and 2; diastolic btw S2 and 1
What is S4
Forceful atrial contraction against stiffened low compliant ventricle; atrial Gallop (S3 is ventricular gallop)
What kind of murmur could an atrial myxoma cause
Diastolic
What is the murmur heard with MR
Systolic - radiates to left axilla, decreased S1
What is ortner syndrome
Hoarseness seen with mitral stenosis
What sx does mitral stenosis cause
Malar flush, increased S1, opening snap after S2, diastolic murmur use bell
What do you see on PE of aortic stenosis
Narrow pulse pressure, decreased SV and systolic pressure; delayed pulses (parvis and tardus), harsh 2nd ICS RSB radiates into Suprasternal notch; gallavardin phenomenon (murmur radiates to apex)
What are causes of chronic aortic regurgitation
Syphilis and ankylosing spondylitis
What do you see with aortic regurgitation
Wide pulse pressure, de mussel, corigans, quinces, traubes, durozreys, hills, bisferious, diastolic
What is tricuspid regurgitation associated with
Pulm HTN, inferior MI - see prominent V wave in JVP; blowing systolic murmur
What do you see with tricupsid stenosis
Prominent A wave in JVP, hepatomegaly
What causes most cases of pulmonic regurgitation
Pulm HTN; graham steel murmur
What kind of murmur is heard with pulm stenosis
Radiates toward left shoulder
what is the difference between EMR and EHR
EHR can be shared with other health care providers; contain all info from all caretakers
What are the stages of meaningful use
1: data capture and sharing
2: advance clinical process
3: improved outcomes
What is meaningful use
Use of EHR to improve health care quality and efficiency; goals: Bring about care that is patient centered, prevention oriented, evidence based, effficient and equitable
What is MIPS
Merit based incentive payment system
What must medical students have/do when charting for their preceptor
- have their own username/password
- contribute meaningful data with inclusion of student note; enter rationale for entering;
- notes must be reviewed and signed by supervising physician
What kids do you perform a full cardiac exam on
Kids with heart murmurs, any child who has historical features suggestive of cardiac dz (feeding intolerance, sweating, head bobbing, failure to thrive, resp sx, cyanosis in infants; chest pain, syncope, exercise intolerance, family hx of sudden death in older children)
What is included in a full cardiac exam
Vitals, pulses, cap refill, precordial inspection and palaption, auscultation, murmurs - grade, timing, location, character, changes with position, radiation
Which murmurs have a thrill
IV and up
What is fixed split S2 indicative of
ASD; only normal when split with inspiration
What can cause S1 to be inaudible
VSD, AV regurgitation, patent ductus arteriosus, severe pulm stenosis
What do you use to listen to diastolic murmurs
Bell; lower pitched with rumbling character; NEVER normal on its own
When should venous hums disappear
When pressure placed on jugular vein, when child’s head is turned, when child is lying supine, *only sound in diastole that doesn’t warrant a referral to cardiology
Which pathologic murmurs change with position
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: systolic murmur at apex and LSB that increases in intensity when patient stands and with valsalva maneuver *one of the leading causes of death in young athletes - also called IHSS (idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis)
What are the features of innocent murmurs
Sensitive (changes with position), short duration, single, small, soft, sweet, systolic
When do you refer a child to a cardiologist
Grade 4 murmur or up, diastolic murmur, increased intensity when patient stands, if sx, Heart sounds obscured, fem pulses weak, clicks, hyperactive precordium, hx of sudden death, ab or extra heart sounds (except S3), conditions predisposing to heart lesions
