Shit - Cardio UWorld Flashcards
Epi vs. NE receptors
Epi b > a
NE a1 > a2 > b1
Beta blocker selectivity
A-M olol = b1
N-Z olol = b1 and b2
ilol/alol = a and b
*nebivolol = b1 block and b3 stimulate (activate NOS)
*sotalol = K+ and b blocker
Most common hear defect in turners
Bicuspid aortic valve (early systolic high-pitched click)
Effects of dobutamine:
Use:
1) Inotropic (increased contractility is most useful effect)
2) slight chronotropy (increases O2 consumption with inotropic, so bad, can cause ischemia)
3) increases conduction velocity (bad; arrythmyas)
Used for heart failure with decreased contractility i.e. MI cardiogenic shock
Front of heart =
Back of heart (against esophagus) =
front = right ventricle
back = left atrium
diastolic rumble with an opening snap
Mitral stenosis
Which vessel in the body has the lowest O2?
Coronary sinus (heart extracts 80-90% of the O2)
Rheumatic heart disease timeline post-strep throat
1-8 months
bounding pulses =
weak pulses =
(valve defects)
bounding = AR = Corrigan’s/water-hammer
Weak = AS = pulsus parvus et tardus
most important aspect of nitrates
decreased preload
MI collagen 1 w vs few months
1w = type III
months = type I
MCC NVBE and MV valve
MVP, mitral valve
Maintenance dose =
Cp x CL x dosage interval
DI i.e. ever 6 hours = 60min/hr x 6hrs
pulsus paradoxus: sign and mechanism and causes
> 10mmHg fall in SBP upon inspiration.
Mechanism: increase in RVP during inspiration (VR and pulmonary retrigrade flow) causes RVP>LVP → IVS pushed into LV decreasing filling → decreased CO and thus SBP
Causes: cardiac tamponade, asthma, OSA, pericaditis, croup
Hepatic Angiosarcoma
Vinyl chloride, arsenic, thorotrast
Daptomycin AE
Rhabdo and myopathy
Fates of embryonic veins:
Cardinal
Vitelline
Umbilical
Cardinal = systemic venous system
Vitellin = portal venous system
Umbilical = degenerate
highest oral bioavailable nitrate
isosorbide mononitrate
Biventricular pacemakers: path of LV lead
SVC, RA, coronary sinus (in A-V groove in post heart), LV
Blood supply to diaphragmatic part of the heart
posterior interventricular branch (85% of people via RCA)
AA creating NO
Arginine
Aortic arch baro-receptors to NTS via what nerve?
X (vagus)
carotid sinus baro-receptors to NTS via what nerve?
IX (glossopharyngeal)
[actually branch called hering’s nerve]
Sign of pulsus paradoxus
Lose pulse sounds with BP cuff during inspiration
Irreversible change associated with wide fixed splitting of S2
Pulmonary hypertension (via ASD)
Stable angina vessel profile
AS plaque obstructing >75% of lumen, no thombus
Decrease platelet aggregation AND vasodilate arteries: drug names and condition they treat
Cilostazole and dipyridamole. Intermittent claudication (PVD), angina, prevent stroke/TIA
CCB toxicity
flush, edema, AV block, constipation (verapamil)
Orthopnea specific for:
LHF (dyspnia while supine relieved by sitting up)
Could also be mitral stenosis
2 major regulators of coronary flow, and the vessel size they work best on
Adenosine = arterioles
NO = large arteries and pre-arteriolar
Dilated coronary sinus indicates:
Increased RAP i.e. RHF or pulmonary hypertension
Thiazide AE
Hyper GLUC (glycemia, lipidemia, uricemia, calcemia)
Cardiac structures anterior and posterior to esophagus
anterior = LA
posterior = descending aorta
phenoxybenzamine vs phentolamine
phenoxybenzamine = irreversible a-antag, for pheo
Phentolamine = reversible a-antag, for MAO pts with cheese reaction
effects of increased vs decreased baro-R firing:
Increased (i.e. HTN, valsalva, carotid massage) = slowed AV node by increasing refractory perior
Decreased (i.e. low BP or BV) = increase HR, BP, contractility, vasocontriction
Chronic pericarditis causes + key features
Causes: TB, radiation, cardiac surgery
Pericardial Knock: just after S2 (confused with MS opening snap), from chronic pericarditis
Sharp y-descent, depper/steeper with inspiration
What does b2 vs glucagon do to alter myocardial contractility
BOTH INCREASE cAMP!
(just have different receptors)
cause of janeway lesions
Septic emboli to cutaneous vessels
mutations in genetic DCM vs HCM
DCM = mitochondrial enzymes for ox phos and cardiac cytoskeletal element
HCM = beta myosin heavy chains
holosystolic murmur =
MR
TR
VSD
anti-hyperlipidemia drug causing flushing, warmth, and itching. What is drug and what mediates this AE?
Niacin (B3)
Prostaglandins (reduce with asprin)
Fenoldopam MOA
selective D1-agonist, causes arteriolar dilation and naturesis
Leads II, III and AvF
Specific s/s
RCA (inferior heart; inf wal of LV)
Bradycardia (RCA supplies SA and AV nodes)
Familial hyperchylomicronemia (type I hyperlipoproteinemia):
- Dx
- complications
LPLase deficiency, milky plasma on standing via chylomicrons
Hypertriglyceridemia, recurrent acute pancreatitis, lipidema retinalis, erruptive xanthomas
Nitroprusside action
VS BOTH arterioles and veins, so decreases preload AND afterload, maintaining SV
Diastolic HF: LVP, LVV, LVEF
LVP increased
LVV normal (increase pressure ot achieve normal volume)
LVEF normal
polymorphic QRS complexes (varying amplitude and cycle length) with prolonged QT =
causes =
torsades des pointes V tach
causes = class Ia + III (not amiodarone) antiarythmics + TCAs
