Miscellaneous Flashcards
Explain S3
-it occurs due to rapid filling of the dilated ventricle creating tuburlent
What is the cause of S3
dilated LV;
-systolic
-dilated cardiomyopathy
-young athlete
Explain S4
-rigidity of the ventricle causing less ventricular filling thus causing marked atrial contraction
What is the cause of S4
LV hypertrophy
-diastolic HF
-aortic stenosis
-hypertension
Murmur appears at the tricuspid area, holosystolic, this condition is
-tricuspid area
Eccentric hypertrophy is mainly caused by ______ overload
-volume
Concentric hypertrophy is mainly caused by ______ overload
-pressure
The most characteristic of Loffler’s endocarditis
-hypereosinophilic syndrom
-thus histologically, it shows eosinophilic infiltration in myocardium
Enlargement of liver with nut meg appearance
-congestive hepatopathy secondary to cardiac cause
Patient heart sound presents best at tricuspid area with holosytolic murmur
VSD
What are the drugs that reduce both preload and afterload
-ACEI and ARBs
What is dobutamine
It is a beta 1 agonist which will increase the heart rate
Beck Triads
-Hypotension
-JVP
-distant heart sound
