mainly associations/buzz words some questions (169 cards)
what disease favors the base of the heart and commonly involves the conduction system?
cardiac sarcoidosis
acutely, how much fluid can the pericardium accommodate without clinically significant increase in pressure
up to 200 ml >200 will rapidly increase pressure
head bobbing with each pulse (de Musset sign)
aortic regurgitation
in the early subacute phase of an un-reperfused MI, put the infiltrating cells in temporal order
lymphocytes (day 2) macrophages (day 3) fibroblasts (day 4)
acute childhood disease of medium arteries (commonly coronary)
Kawasaki disease
hyperdynamic bounding, but rapidly collapsing pulse (Corrigan pulse)
aortic regurgitation
palpable purpura
vasculitis
prototype restrictive cardiomyopathy
amyloidosis
is infective endocarditis destructive?
yes can cause perforation of a valve, abscesses, fibrotic scarring or calcification
blindness seen in?
temporal (giant cell) arteritis
where are cardiac myxoma typically located?
90% in the atria (72% in LA)
concentric LVH
hypertensive heart disease
connective tissue disorders (Marfans, Ehrlos Danlos) associated with?
MVP
aneurysms
aortic dissection (Marfan)
Acute HF Profile A: warm and dry, associated with?
transient myocardial ischemia or HF from lung disease
systemic lupus erythematosus
Libman-Sacks endocarditis
Roth spots
IE
mutation in ryanodine receptor (RyR)
familial catecholeminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
most common cause of sudden death in young athletes (< 35)
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
hibernating myocytes
chronic myocardial ischemia
constrictive pericarditis seen with? what type of pericarditis?
bacterial infections (typically staph aureus, strep pneumonia)
fibrinous (fibrinous and fibrous adhesions and organization with fibroblasts)
what is the major determinant of aortic aneurysm rupture?
diameter of aorta
this disease is 100% associated with smoking
Buerger disease (thromboangiitis obliterans)
normal LA pressure?
8 mmHg
vegetations on both sides of valve seen in?
Libman-Sacks endocarditis
