physical diagnosis-16-landeen Flashcards
group of people who may not feel any discomfort from MI
diABETIES
Most important factor in assessing ;ossible MI
History!
Chest discomfort during MI versus angina
MI pain lacks any clear physical clinical cause like angina does
most specific clinical manifestion indicating MI
Pain radiating to neck and arms
1st sign of HF/ elevated venous pressure
non productive cough
ass features of acute MI
unrelieved by nitro, duration symptoms grerater 30 min
ass. features aortic stenosis
systolic murmor
Ass. features pericarditis
relieved by sitting up and leaning forwards, pericardial frictio rub, sharp quality, and lasts hours to days
Aortic dissection
abrupt onset terribble pain, knife like burning, location is ant chest radiating to back, ass with hypertension, marfan syndrome
Spontaneous phnemothorax
smoking!
esophogeal spasm
can be confused for angina
patient sleeps with 6 pillows and preferes to sleep in a recliner, whats going on?
orthopnea, strongly suggests pul edema HF
hepato pulmonary syndrome
common sign is platypnea, dyspnea is alleviated when laying down, worse while sdtanding
syncope in medicated elderly
elderly exp syncope commonly especially when on many bp meds, make them hypotensive and pass out, alweays measure orthostatic vitals or can miss it.
disorders in which hemoptysis is a common sign
PE, pulmonary edema, mitral stenosis, malignancies
one of the common fiordt signs of HF/ increasedvenous pressure
non productive cough
dry cough
common with PE, can produce a frothy pink sputum
First thing to do when seeing patient for cardiac distress
ABC, airway brerathing circulation, then bp in both arms 1 leg
pulsating uvula
aortic stenosis
most comming sign in fundoscopic exam for peeps with diabetes, endocarditis, hypertension
roth spots
Best art to measure jugular venous pressure (JVP)
inner carotid, cononected to right heart direct, outer ok not as good
JVD def
engorgement of the IJ more than 5 cm above the sternal angle at 45 degrees
how to measure JVP
Measured by adding 5 cm to the height of the observed jugular venous distention above the sternal angle of Louis at 45 degrees
