Q

What is the minimum time s/p cardioversion should someone with A.fib be anticoagulated for

A

at least 4wks

(may be lifelong depending on CHADVASC score)

17
Q

what is the most specific finding for myocardial ischemia during exercise stress test

A

2 mm downsloping ST-segment depression

18
Q

pericardial knock

A

pericarditis

19
Q

in patients with a myocardial infarction, which four drugs have been shown to decrease mortality?

A

ASA

BB

ACE

Statin

20
Q

tx for endocarditis in an IV drug abuser w/ native valve

A

vanco + Ceftriaxone or cefepime

21
Q

What 2 conditions LOWER BNP

A

Obesity

pericardial constriction

22
Q

What is commonly hypertrophied in mitral stenosis

A

Right ventricular hypertrophy

(b/c MS causes “pressure backup” into pulmonary circulation and ultimately back to the right ventricle–> R vent hypertrophy +/- R HF)

(long standing MS can lead for L atrial dilation–> A.fib)

23
Q

decrescendo diastolic blowing murmur at left sternal border w/ WIDE PULSE PRESSURE

water hammer pulse

A

AORTIC REGURG

24
Q

medical tx for STABLE pts w/ WPW that have antidromic (widecomplex) tachycardia

A

procainamide

25
Q

medical tx for STABLE pts w/ WPW that have orthodromic (narrow complex) tachycardia

A

adenosine

26
Q

MC causative organism of endocarditis:

Tricuspid (IVDU) vs mitral valve

A

Tricuspid (IVDU)= S. aureus

Mitral= Strep viridans, S. aureus

27
Q

what is a serious complication of Kawasaki disease

A

coronary artery aneurysm

28
Q

Those with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot, with right ventricular pressure > ____ mm Hg or cardiomegaly, should not participate in rigorous or contact sports

A

> 50

(if RV pressure <50, no restrictions recommended)

29

A) Amiodarone

B) Dofetilide

C) Dronedarone

D) Flecainide

A

D) Flecainide

(increased risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia)

30
Q

B) Beta blocker

C) Aspirin

D) Nitroglycerin

A

ASA

31
