Contraindication for cilostazole
Heart failure
When to do CT angiography for cardiac chest pain evaluation
Chest pain resolved; low to intermediate probability of CAD; and equivocal Trop
Rhythm control strategy is preferred within — year of A.fib diagnosis

RA tumor
Cardiac angiosarcoma
High risk features warranting Rx of asymptomatic PVC
Syncope
Structural heart Dx
Family h/o SCD
DDx for granulomatous lesions
TB CSF V
Tuberculosis
Bartonella
Coxiella
Sarcoidosis
Fungal
Vasculitis - GPA and EGPA
How do you approach NSTEMI? What is the first thing to determine and what are the two Rx pathways that lead from it?
- Calculate TIMI score
- TIMI <2 —> start medical Rx with heparin, aspirin, and plavix. stress testing before discharge —> if evidence of ischemia —> cath.
- TIMI >2 —> medical Rx and urgent cath
Three post pregnancy heart issues tested
- Peripartum CMP —> HF
- SCAD —> ACS
- Micro vascular dysfunction —> anginal Sx
Most common SVT
AVNRT
Indications for PDA closure
Left chamber hypertrophy as long as pulm pressure is <50% of the systemic BP
You have high suspicion for LE clarification but ABI is >0.9. Next step?
Exercise ABI
Which patients should be considered for staged PCI
HD stable patients if non culprit vessel was not addressed in primary PCI
Indications for AAA repair
- > 5.5 cm
- > 5 cm with family history or progression >0.5 cm/year
- > 4.5 cm with other surgical procedures
Define recurrent pericarditis
Recurrent after Sx free interval of 4-6 weeks
Surgically resectable AAA is identified. What is the next step? Survey or imaging?
