HEART Flashcards
VALVE AREA > 1.5CM2 AND < 25 mmHg is defined as (mild/moderate/severe) grade aortic stenosis
mild- no restriction Suggest annual physical and echo
VALVE AREA 1.0CM2-1.5CM2 AND aoritc pressure 25-40 mmHg is defined as (mild/moderate/severe) grade aortic stenosis
moderate- low intesnity sports as long as does no abnormal heart rhythms, BP, ST changes.
VALVE AREA < 1cm2 >40mmHg is defined as (low/moderate/severe) grade aortic stenosis
severe- cannot play * Moderate with symtpoms also cannot play

EF < ___% with exercse is considered substantial risk factor for athletes with CAD
50%
Anybody with MI should refrain from vigorous physical activity for at least __ week
4
How can one try to differeiante Athletic heart vs HCM
Athletic heart- Increased wall thickness and increased cardiac chamber volume HCM- increased wall thickness and decreased cardiac chamber volume
When should you screen someone for LV function ?
asymptomatic patient with diabetes starting a vigorous exercise program. or men >45 and woman >55 previously sedimentary starting rigours exercise program
Athlete with 145/90 during screening physical allowed to play?
Stage 1 or 2 htn, no restriction as long as no end organ damage. May not participate until BP well controlled if has end organ damage
What is the recomended study for pediatric athletes with HTN
renal ultrasound
What is recomended for children >95% or 90-94% with DM or renal disease?
echocardiogram
BP meds recomended for athletes?
ARBS, ACE, and CCB
Most common arrhythmia in athletes
A-fib
Can athletes with a-fib play competative sport?
as long as no structural heart disease
How doese exercise relate to A-fib
vigorous exercise proportional to prevalence
One lab to order with AFib?
TSH
Medication managment for athletes with A-fib?
Beta blocker Avoid collision sports if starting on Blood thinners
RTP after A-fib ablation
4-6 weeks
After diagnosis of Myocarditis should refrain from strenuous activity for _____
6 months
Commotio Cordis as result of what kind of irregular heart rhyth
v-Fib , right before T wave
Presentation of Anomalous CA
SCD, exertional CP, syncope, and pre syncope
Workup for Anomalous CA
Coronary artery angiography
Anomalous CA can RTP how long after correct surgery?
None until 3 months after surgery
What are EKG signs for ARVD
T wave inversion V1-V3 followed by flat or downsloping ST segement
ARVD pathology
mutations in desmosomal proteins that replace muscle fibers with fibrofatty replacement usually in RV
Harsh crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur R 2nd intercostal
Aortic Stenosis ( Squatting - increases preload) and will make it louder
decrescendo blowing diastolic murmur heard best at the left lower sternal border.
Aortic Regurgitation
Diastolic is the leafy valve letting blood back in the left ventricle
An innocent murmur can be any murmur excluding (diastolic/systolic)
diasystolic
Diastolic murmur lower left sternal border
Tricuspid stenosis
Systolic murmur upper left sternal border
Pulmonary stenosis
Diastolic murmur heard at apex w/ opening stap
Mitral stenosis
Snap is heard as LV trying to fill. after systole
Systolic injection murmur in a football physical. What could you do exacerbate the murmur if you are concerned for HCM?
Valsalva - decrease venous return/increases arterial resistance
Sitting to standing- decrease venous return
What is the name of this wave and what heart condition is it specific for?

epsilon wave
ARVD
Genetic link for HCM
Auto Dominent
Describe EKG findings in HCM
Inferiolateral Leads
V4-V6, 1, 2, AVF, AVL
Deep T wave inversion
Dagger like Q WAVES
V5, V6, II, AVF
