Valve calcification
Dystrophic calcification
Or
Metastatic calcification
Dystrophic calcification-hallmark of cellular injury and death occurring in all types of necrosis in normal calcium level (Psammoma bodies)
metastatic calcification-normal tissue in the setting of hypercalcemia
In exercise, Exercising muscle can receive up to 85% of the total cardiac output. There is only a small increase and mean blood pressure as vasodilation with an active Skeletal muscle significantly decrease the total systemic vascular resistance
First aid
Cardiac Tamponade
Beck triad?
Pulsus paradoxus?
Becks triad:
Hypotension
jugular venous distention
Diminish heart sound-muffled
Pulses paradoxus: Abnormally large inspiratory decrease in systolic blood pressure >10 MMHG
Acute pericarditis
Most common form
Most classic sign
Constrictive pericarditis
Acute onset mid-chest pleuritic chest pain that decreases on sitting up and leaning forward
Most current form: fibrinous or Serofibrinous Pericarditis
Most classic sign: pericardial friction rub
Constrictive Pericarditis(takes years to develop) kussmual sign, pulsus paradoxus, Precardial knock
Cardiac tamponade: Pulsus paradoxus
