Q

Direct thrombin inhibitor

Factor Xa inhibitors

What are the two types of PSVTs

A

Dabigatran- binds/inhibits thrombin

Edo/Apix/Riva-roxaban

AVNRT- two paths w/in AV node (MC type)
AVRT- two paths outside of AV node

17
Q

How is stable, Narrow PSVT Tx

How is stable, Wide PSVT Tx

Define MAT/WAP

A

Vagal, Adenosine then CCB/BB/Digoxin

Amiodarone, Procainamide

MAT: >100 in COPD Pt (Tx: Verapamil/BB if LV preserved)

18
Q

Pathophysiology behind WPW

What are the 3 EKG components of this condition

How is Wide Complex WPW Tx and what is avoided

A

Accessory pathway through Bundle of Kent connect atria to ventricles, bypassing AV node= D-wave

Wave-delta PR-short Wide-QRS

Procainamide > Amiodarone; Avoid Adenosine, BB, CCB, Digoxin

19
Q

EKG finding for AV junctional rhythms
