mock 5 Flashcards
how long after stemi can PCI be performed and what is the treatment after that if PCI can’t be done within time frame
PCI is first line treatment for STEMI if it can be performed within 2 hours of onset, otherwise it is
fibrinolysis with IV Tenecteplase
atrial flutter ecg
Sawtooth flutter waves= seen in atrial flutter
A.Fib ecg
- Absent P waves
- narrow QRS
- irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm are all ECG changes
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome ecg
delta waves
acute pericarditis ecg
Saddle-shaped ST segment elevation
diabetes ketoacidosis ecg
what condition is this linked to
- ST depression
- prolongation of the QT interval
- abnormalities of the T wave
- prominent U waves
types of cardiomyopathy
- dilated
- restrictive
- hypertrophic
Normal lying to standing BP response
increase
Narrow pulse pressure
120/110 seen in aortic stenosis
where your pulse pressure is one-fourth or less of your systolic pressure
Postural hypotension
blood pressure drop
Wide pulse pressure
seen in aortic regurgitation
hypertension stages
A bounding pulse is a strong throbbing felt over one of the arteries in the body
bounding pulse shock type
septic shock
reduced airway shock type
anaphylactic shock
bradycardia shock type
cardiogenic shock
causes of addisons
autoimmune disorder + TB
carcinoid syndrome triad
palpitations
diarrhoea
flushing
low dose dexamethasone test function
The low-dose test can help tell whether your body is producing too much ACTH
cushings
synacthen test
A synacthen test uses a special chemical (synacthen) to test how well the adrenal glands make cortisol.
addisons
Somatostatin produces predominantly neuroendocrine inhibitory effects across multiple systems.
