Randa Medicine Flashcards
Mid-systolic murmur on right second intercostal space radiating to carotid is
aortic stenosis
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is also a ___ murmur.
systolic ejection
Continuous murmur/machinery murmur/Gibson murmur which decreases with sitting is
PDA
Ascendo-decrescendo systolic murmur radiating to carotid
Aortic stenosis
Blowing early diastolic murmur (Decrescendo murmur) best heard at left sternal border + Traubeβs sign
Aortic regurgitation
mid diastolic murmur, just after opening snap
Mitral stenosis
Severe mitral stenosis has valve area
<1
mild mitral stenosis has valve area
> 1.5
Pansystolic murmur
Mitral/tricuspid regurgitation
____ is a mid-diastolic murmur best heart at apex
Austin flint murmur
Mid diastolic murmur which is worsened by Valsalva or standing.
Mitral valve prolapse:
SVT if patient is stable start with :
with vagal maneuvers then IV adenosine then CCB (verapamil/Diltazem) or Beta blockers.
On ECG, a high peaked T wave is,
hyperkalemia
A flat wave T wave in a vomiting patient is
hypokalemia.
Adenosine cannot be given with _____.
theophylline
In Early diastole
Aortic and pulmonary regurgitation.
In Mid/late-diastole
Mitral and tricuspid stenosis.
LDL goal in normal diabetic is
<100
LDL in diabetic with CAD is
<70
HTN how much is reduced by weight reduction:
5-20mmhg/10kg
Flask shaped heart indicated
pleural effusion
In severe (symptomatic) aortic stenosis avoid
nitrates, ACE and do surgery.
Hard signs of vascular injury are
bruit, absent pulses, expandable hematoma, ischemia, or active hemorrhage other signs are soft.
Initial therapy of CHF with low EF is
loop diuretic with an ACE or ARB
