Heart murmurs Flashcards
Machinery like murmur
Patent ductus arteriosus, PDA
Early diastolic with High pitched quality,
Louder when pt is sitting and leaning forward (at the Base of the heart)
Aortic regurg
Base of heart, what murmurs would be heard?
Aortic
Pulmonic
Tx for Dilated Cardiomyopathy
ACE-I and B blocker
Person w hx of Cocaine use, coming in with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
found unconscious
50% of DCM recover spontaneously, and someone w hx of cocaine use should NOT be given B-blocker
wean off oxygen
4 main types of shock
Cardiogenic
Hypovolemic
Distributive
Obstructive
Ventricular Septal Defect
-blood flowing between ventricles thru the septum
Normal life expec
but inc risk of bacterial endocarditis
Unique trait a/w VSD- ventricular septal defect
The smaller the defect, the LOUDER the murmur (bc the greater the gradient from L to R ventricle)
What do you use to Close PDA-patent ductus arteriosus
Indomethacin
ASD- atrial septal defect
Definitive tx: Close defect surgically
Large shunt or Heart failure: diuretic, digoxin, ACE-I before surgery
HCTZ (thiazide diuretic) to tx HTN is a/w
Hypokalemia
(low K)
muscle weakness, cramping, heart arrhythmia, kidney abn, glucose int
IVDU Endocarditis
Tricuspid valve
Tx w Vancomycin
after trauma, SOB and Muffled heart sounds
think Pericardial Tamponade
Aortic regurg
Wide pulse pressure
Tachycardia
High pitched murmur, loudest at Left sternal border
Loude`r when leaning forward
Which type of Cardiomyopathy is a/w Radiation
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, RCM
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy is referred to as
Radiation Cardiomyopathy
more common in pts w hx of Breast or Lung CA that have underwent Radiation to thoracic area
