MTB 1 Flashcards
What makes the S4 gallop
Atrial systole as blood is ejected from atrium into a stiff ventricle
- seen in ischemia w noncompliant LV
What is Kussmaul sign?
Ass’d with?
Increase in JVP w inhalation
Constrictive pericarditis or Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
What condition do we see with displaced PMI
LVH
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
When do we see triphasic scratchy sound on auscultation
Pericardial Friction Rub
Leads in Anterior Wall MI
Leads V2-V4
Leads in Inferior wall MI
II, III, aVF
PR interval > 200 msec?
First-degree AV block
ST depression in Leads V1 and V2
Posterior wall MI
Pt w substernal chest pain arrives at ED. EKG shows ST elevation in V2, V4. Next best step?
Admin ASA
Angioplasty
How long is ST elevation present on EKG
1-6 weeks
Pt w new episode of pain a few days after first cardiac event - next step?
- EKG for new ST changes
2. Check CK-MB
MCC death first few days after MI
Ventricular Arrhythmia
- V tach, V fib
When do we use thrombolytics in NSTEMI
Never
Complications of PCI
- Rupture of coronary artery on balloon inflation
- Restenosis of vessel after angioplasty
- Hematoma at site of entry
Important in reducing recurrent stenosis after PCI
Drug-eluting stents inhibit T cell response
Which thrombolytic cannot be given repeatedly and why
Streptokinase causes allergenic response
Which thrombolytics are given as IV infusion
Streptokinase
Alteplase
Which thrombolytics are given as rapid bolus injection
Retaplase
Tenecteplase
Absolute CI to thrombolytics
CNS bleed Major bleeding into bowel Recent surgery - past 2 weeks Active peptic ulcer - bleeding Severe HTN, >180/110 Nonhemorrhagic stroke past 6 months Hemorrhagic stroke
Pt presents to ED with chest pain for past 1 hour, crushing, non-positional. EKG shows ST depression in V2, V4. ASA is given. Next best step?
LMW Heparin can prevent a clot from forming in coronary arteries
Which pts do GIIb/IIIa inhibitors reduce mortality
Pts with ST depression
Best for non-STEMI, PCI and stenting
