Q

how do you find water-hammer pulse?

A
  • Palpate radial pulse while the patient lies on the exam table, applying pressure until pulse is obscured. Raise arm straight over patient’s head, perpendicular to the table, and palpate pulse for a sudden rise and collapse of radial pulse that feels “jumpy”

Q

In the left lateral decubitus position,

  • a diffuse PMI with a diameter < 3cm signals ____________;
  • a diameter of >4 cm makes __________ almost 5x more likely.
A
  • left ventricular enlargement
  • left ventricular overload
17
Q

what can cause a hypekinetic high-amplitude impulse?

A
    1. hyperthyroidism
    1. severe anemia
    1. pressure overload of LV d/t HTN or aortic stenosis
    1. Volume overload of LV due to aortic regugr
18
Q

what increases chances of hearting aortic regurg

A

sitt and lean forward

19
Q

what increases chances of hearing mitral regurg

A

straining/valsalva

20
Q

what increases chances of hearing mitral stenosis and extra heart sounds

A

left lateral recumabt

21
Q

A hypovolemic or septic patient may have to________ before you see the neck veins.

In contrast, when there is volume overload, you may need to ______________________to locate the oscillation point.

A
  • lie flat
  • elevate the patient’s head to 60° or even 90°
22
Q

elevated JVP is correlated with what?

A
  • 1. acute and chronic HF
  • 2. Triscupid stenosis
  • 3. Chronic pulmary HTN
  • 4. SVC
  • 5. Cardiac tapon and constrictive pericaridits
23
Q

In patients with obstructive lung disease, JVP can appear __________ on expiration, but the veins _________ on inspiration.

This finding does/does not indicate heart failure.

A

JVP: elevated on expiration

Veins: collapse on inspiration

does not

24
Q

An elevated JVP is 95% specific for an _______________________, although its role as a predictor of hospitalization and death from heart failure is less clear.

A
  1. increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure
  2. low left ventricular EF
