MTB and important from FA 2 Flashcards
cardiac sound S3 in normal in
children and pregnant
auscultation of the heart - Aortic area (what we hear)
systolic murmur (aortic stenosis, flow murmur eg. physiologic murmur, aortic valve sclerosis)
auscultation of the heart - left sternal border (what we hear)
- diastolic murmur: aortic regurgitation, pulmonic regurgitation
- systolic murmur hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
auscultation of the heart - Pulmonic area (what we hear)
systolic ejection murmur: pulmonic stenosis, flow murmur (eg physiologic murmur)
auscultation of the heart - mitral valve (what we hear)
- holosystolic murmur: mitral regurgitation
2. diastolic murmur: mitral stenosis
auscultation of the heart - tricuspid valve (what we hear)
- holosystolic murmur: tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular septal defect
- diastolic murmur: tricuspid stenosis, ASD
ASD auscultation
ASD commonly present with a pulmonary flow murmur (increased flow through pulmonary valve) and a diastolic rumble (increased flow across tricuspid). Blood flow across the actual ASD does not cause murmur (no significant P gradient). The murmur later progress to a louder diastolic murmur of pulmonic regurgitation from dilaton of the pulmonary arterey
auscultation of the heart - aortic regurgitation mumur
high-pitched early long diastolic decrescendo murmur.
auscultation of the heart - mitral stenosis mumur
follows opening snap. Delayed rumbling diastolic murmur
auscultation of the heart - aortic stenosis mumur
crescendo - decrescendo systolic ejection murmur
ejection click MAY be present
aortic stenosis pulse
pulsus parvus et tardus: weak with delayed peak
aortic stenosis is often related to
- age related calcification
- early onset calcification of bicuspid aortic valve
- rarely - Rheumatic heart disease (mitral valve is also involved)
MVP murmur
late systolic crescendo murmur with midsystolic click.
acute pericarditis - presentation
sharp chest pain, aggravated by inspiration and lying supine, relieved by sitting up and leaning forward
acute pericarditis - ECG
- ST-segmented
and/or - PR depression
cardiac tamponade - clinical examination
- Beck’s triad (hypotension, distended neck veins, distant heart sounds)
- increased HR
- pulsus paradoxus
most frequent primary cardiac tumor in children
Rhabdomyomas
kussmual sign - definition / may be seen in
- increasing in JVP on inspiration instead of normal decreasing
1. constrictive pericarditis
2. restrictive cardiomyopathy
3. right atrial or ventricular tumors
4. severe right ventricular failure
BNP blood test
- used for diagnosis of heart failure
2. very good negative predictive value
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - clinical examination findings
- S4
- Systolic murmur (left sternal border) (loudest with valsava, standing up)
- maybe mitral regurgitation due to impaired mitral valve closure
- paradoxical splitting
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - treatment
- cessation of high intensity athletics
- non-didydropyridines Ca2+ channel blockers
- β-blockers
- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) if patient is high risk
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - pulse
quick rise arterial pulse
restrictive/infiltrative cardiomyopathy - major causes
- sarcoidosis
- amyloidosis
- postradiation fibrosis
- endocardial fibroelastosis
- Loeffler syndrome
- hemochromatosis
- scleroderma
Loeffler syndrome
endomyocardial fibrosis with prominent eosinophilic infiltrate
endocardial fibroelastosis
thick fibroelastic tissue in endocardium of young children
restrictive cardiomyopathy - type of dysfunction
diastolic
hyperlipidemia signs
- xanthomas
- tendinous xanthoma
- corneal arcus
lipid-lowering agents groups
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins)
- Bile acid resins
- Ezetimibe
- Fibrates
- Niacin
statins side effect
hepatotoxicity (increased LFTs)
myopathy (especially when used with fibrates or niacin)
bile acid resins drugs
cholestyramine
colestipol
colesevelam
bile acid resins mechanism of action
prevent intestinal reabsorption of bile acids SO the liver must use cholesterol to make more
bile acid resins side effects
- GI upset
2. decreased reabsorption of other drugs and fat-soluble vitamins
Ezetimibe mechanism of action
prevent cholesterol absorption at small intestine brush border
