pulm 2 Flashcards
*** sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, hemochromatosis
causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy with preserved ejection HF
*** neuropathy, easy bruising, enlarged tongue, proteinuria, early satiety, edema, subcutaneous nodules
amyloidosis
*** what is reflected during inspiratory hold?
pulmonary compliance
*** what is reflected during expiratory hold?
PEEP
4 types of lung cancer
adenocarcinoma
squamous cell
small cell
large cell
two peripherally located lung cancers
adenocarcinoma
large cell carcinoma
*** gynecomastia and galactorrhea in lung cancer
large cell carcinoma
diastolic murmur, left sternal border, loudest with sitting up, leaning forward and expiration
AR
*** healthy woman found to have diastolic murmur, should she get a workup?
YES - diastolic murmurs likely pathologic, fo/u with echo
*** what post-MI complications can occur with RCA occlusion
RV failure
papillary muscle rupture (new murmur)
interventricular septum rupture (new murmur)
*** post-MI complications with LAD occlusion
interventricular septum rupture
free wall rupture
left ventricular aneurysm
pt has new holosystolic murmur after MI and echo reveals new MR - what vessel was occluded?
RCA
pleural plaques
asbestosis
3 most common causes of cough
asthma, GERD, post-nasal drip
rx that increases natriuresis, decreases serum angio II concentration, and decreases aldo production
direct renin inhibitor (aliskiren)
*** first line tx of aortic dissection
IV BB to reduce HR, SBP, and LV contractility
can vasodilators hydralazine and nitroprusside result in reflex sympathetic stimulation with consequent rise in HR, LV contractility, and aorta wall stress?
YES - why we don’t use them in aortic dissection management
*** common causes of cor pulmonale (R HF due to lung disease)
COPD
ILD
pulmonary vascular disease
OSA
elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure, hepatomegaly, chronic COPD, elevated JVD, ascites, pleural effusion, edema
Cor Pulmonale
tx of prinzmetal/vasospastic angina
CCB for prevention, nitroglycerin for abortive
AD disorder, aortic regurgitation, aortic dissection, pneumothorax, eye abnormalities
marfan syndrome
*** how is uremic cause of pericarditis different than others?
does not typically cause diffuse ST elevation
4 tx for COPD exacerbation
Oxygen
Inhaled bronchodilators
Systemic glucocorticoids
Antibiotics
EKG finding indicative of LVH
increased QRS complex voltage
use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
when you suspect elevated BP based on clinical findings/symptoms (end organ damage - retionopathy, LVH, AMS) but normal BP in office
when holter monitor
patients with palpitations, syncope, prescynope
vision changes but no neurological symptoms - focal weakness, facial droop, visual field defects
more likely 2/2 HTN, rather than brain ischmia
cardiac manifestation of lyme disease
AV block
cough, large-volume mucopurulent sputum production, hemoptysis, dyspnea
bronchiectasis
diagnostic test for bronchiestasis
high-resolution CT
*** young pt with back pain, worst at night, elevated ESR, improvement with NSAID
ankylosing spondylitis
can someone with AS have restrictive pattern on PFTs due to limited chest expansion and spinal mobility
YES
what anticoagulants to avoid in someone with impaired kidney function?
LMWH (enoxaparin)
Fondaparinux (injection Xa inhibitor)
Rivaroxaban (xa inhibitor)
*** what IS safe for anti-coagulation in kidney disease?
UNfractionated heparin = UN-tainted and safe for kidneys
can you monitor anti-coagulation with unfractionated heparin?
YES, with aPTT (therapeutic = 1.5-2 times normal)
*** what estimated GFR indicates severe renal insufficiency?
< 30
of the obstructive diseases, which have low DLCO?
emphysema
can PEs cause pleural effusions?
yes - typically small, exudative and bloody
