16
Q

Best position for HCM murmur

A

Standing; better than lying or sitting

17
Q

In squatting LV becomes

A

BIG

18
Q

Brockenborough Braunwauld sign is

A

Post extrasystolic drop in PULSE PRESSURE
So weak pulse after a VPC

Systolic BP falls . Diastolic doesn’t change much

19
Q

If ECG is s/o HCM and Echo is normal what to do

A

MRI

20
Q

Association of WPW and HCM

A

33% had WPW in one study

21
Q

Q in HCM is —-shaped

A

Dagger; just means narrow unlike W of MI

22
Q

Indications for invasive septal reduction therapy in HOCM

A

Gradient (rest or provocable) 50 or more

AND Refractory Symptoms

23
Q

CW profile in HCM

A

Dagger shaped. Due to the late systolic peak

In contrast fixed obstruction has a smoother contour and earlier peak

24
Q

Predictors of higher risk of SCD in HCM in Holter

A

NSVT-prolonged or repetitive episodes

But primary prevention of SCD in HCM is not well defined

Others include Thickness >30mm, Hypotensive BP response in TMT, Syncope, Family h/o SCD

25
Q

3 types of Amyloidosis that affects heart

A
  1. AL Amyloidosis - Plasma cell dyscrasias- cardiac involvement seen in 50% of AL Amyloidosis
  2. AA Amyloidosis- In chronic inflammation- card involved only in 5%
  3. TTR Amyloidosis ( Transthyretin)- Wild Type causes Senile systemic Amyloidosis- causes infiltrative CMP looks like HCM
