Bisoprolol (b1 specific)
Carveidolol (nonspecific with alpha antagonist properties)
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
- Mechanism of Protection
- Long Term Benefits (3)
- Use in high risk patients, esp allergic to ____
- Mechanism: increase eicosonoid production = decrease platelets/increase vasodilation
- 3 Longterm Benefits: decrease stroke, non-fatal MI and arrhythmias
- Good for people allergic to fish
Management for Descending Aortic Dissection:
- Rx (2)
- When to Operate?
Rx:
- Beta Blocker IV
- Nitroprusside: always give BB first b/c this will cause reflex SNS activity which will increase LV output and shear stress on aorta
Operate:
- If ascending component
- If major branches are involved
Recommendations for AAA Screening
All males between 65-75 who have ever smoked. One time screening is recommended unless pathology is found.
LDL Goal for Diabetics

- Venous Hum: 2/2 fluttering open/close of jugular veins; best heard when UPRIGHT (vs. Still’s) and on INSPIRATION (b/c venous)
NON-BENIGN FEATURES

Management of Stable Angina (2)
- Beta Blocker
2. ASA
Indications for thrombolytic therapy in AMI? (2)

3 CIs to using Beta Blockers in CHF?
- Bradycardia
- Heart Block
- Severe Asthma
Pre-Op Cardiac Risk

- Classification
1. HIGH RISK: anything vascular / emergency
2. INT RISK: head/neck, thoracic/abdominal, prostate
3. LOW RISK: Breast, Cataract, Endoscopic
Marelgia Paresthetica
Compression of LFCN –> sensory loss of ant/lat thigh without motor deficits
