hyperlipidemia –> xanthelasomas

24
Q

what is the charcot triad assoc with acute cholangitis?

reynolds pentad?

A

fever, jaundice, RUQ
+
hypotension, AMS

25
Q

rotors syndrome shows bilirubin on urinalysis because it has a build up of _________ which is _________

A

CONJUGATED bili which is WATER SOLUBLE

26
Q

d-xylose test

A

NOT broken down by pancreatic enzymes = normal absorpotion in pancreatic insuf

ABSORBED by intestinal brush –> abnormal test in celiac disease

27
Q

how do vagal manuevers help in AVNRT

A

they trigger parasympathetic tone which slows conduction at AV node an increase in AV node refractory period to restore rythm

cold water (dive reflex), valsalva, carotid massage

28
Q

with super high BP you generally want to decrease slowly except for in……..

A

dissection! Decrease rapidly within 20 minutes. IV labetalol

29
Q

first line for torsades

A

IV mag

30
Q

first line for symptomatic brady or heart block

A

atropine

31
Q

causes of pericarditis

A 
Infx= most common
iatrogenic
connective tissue= RA, SLE
Uremic = BUN>60 usu
cardiac= dressler
malignant= hodgkin, lung, breast, RADIATION
32
Q

first line aortic dissection for BP

A

IV beta blocker, ie labetolol, to decrease BP as well as Hr and contractility

**hydral can cause reflex tachy

33
Q

Hyponatermia in CHF?

A

independent predictor of poor prog

mech: low CO –> inc renin, ADH, norepi –> all lead to increased water retention –> hyponatremia

34
Q

reversible causes of complete heart block

A

myocardial ischemia
inc vagal tone –> pain, sleep
metabolic –> hyperK
AV nodal blocking agents –> bb, ccb

35
Q

cause of aortic dissection before 40? after 60?

A

<40= marfans

> 60= HTN

36
Q

becks triad

A

hypotension
distended neck veins
muffled heart sounds

37
Q

medications to withhold before exercise stress test

A

beta blockers
CCB
nitrates

***anything that is antianginal

38
Q

norepinephrine induced vasospasm

A

norepi has alpha 1 agonist properties –> vasoconstriction –> can see dusky cool fingers and toes in someone on pressors

39
Q

how do you respond to PEA

A

pressors and CPR

40
Q

how do you treat SIADH?

what is gold standard for cor pulmonale diagnosis? And what is the def?

A

right heart cath showing RVH and PH

A

squamos cell and small cell of lung

-can cause parasthesias of 4th, 5ht, medial arm, forearm

43
Q

secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in someone with COPD

A

bleb rupture –> bleb is cause by chornic destruction of alveolar sacs –> creates “bleb” –> can rupture and allow air to flow into intrapleural space

44
Q

digital clubbing with sudden onset joint arthropathy in wrists in smoker

A

COPD –> hypertrophic osteoarthropathy

upper resp, lower resp, heme, renal, skin

A

UR: chronic sinusitis, saddle nose deformitry –> tracheal ulceration
LR: cavitation, nodules
heme: anemia of chronic dz
renal: RPGN
skin: livedo reticularis, nonhealing ulcers

47
Q

lights criteria

A

fluid prot/serum prot >0.5
fluid LDH/serum LDH >0.6
fluid LDH >2/3 ULN

48

A

low TV

high PEEP, FiO2

56
Q

epigastric pain that radiates to interscapular region, relieved by CCB or sublingual nitroglycerin

A

diffuse esophageal spasm

dx with manometry –> intermittment peristalsis with simultaneous contractions –>”corkscrew”
