Step 3 7 Flashcards
valvular disease workup
echo
left heart cath
EKG
CXR
AS management
Diuretics
Consult cardiology for valve replacement
dilated cardiomyopathy management
ACEi/ARB
Betablocker
if HR > 70 still, add ivabradine
spironolactone
HOCM management
Betablocker
Diuretics
kussmaul sign
increase in JVP on inhalation
tamponade presentation
SOB + hypotension + JVD + clear lungs
what echo will show with tamponade
diastolic collapse of RA and RV
long-term therapy for pericardial tamponade
pericardial window placement
treatment of constrictive pericarditis
surgically remove pericardium
thoracic dissection management
EKG CXR CT angiography/MRA/TEE ICU transfer Consult surgery Betablocker then nitroprusside to control BP
PAD management
Aspirin Cilostazol Vorapaxar BP control with ACEi Statins to target LDL < 100 Exercise as tolerated IF signs of gangrene OR pain at rest → surgical bypass Consider: Pentoxifylline (marginally effective)
hemodynamic instability on CCS
SBP less than 90, CHF, AMS, chest pain
rate control meds in AFib
BB (metoprolol, carvedilol) or Non-DHP CCB (diltiazem) or digoxin
reversal drug for dabigatran
idarucizumab
VASc in CHADS-VASc
Vascular disease
Age 65-74
Female sex
NOACs
Xa inhibitors (rivaroxiban, edoxaban, apixaban) Direct thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran)
CHADS
CHF HTN Age over 75 DM Stroke/TIA
treatment of bleeding for patient on warfarin
FFP
reversal drug for Xa inhibitors
andexanet
benefit of NOACs over warfarin
NOACs prevent more strokes, cause less intracranial bleeding, and decrease mortality more, and treat DVT/PE
drug selection in rate control for AF
if hyperthyroid/ischemic heart disease/migraines/Graves/pheochromocytoma → BB
if comorbid COPD/asthma → CCB
if borderline hypotension → Digoxin
MAT management
FIRST: Oxygen
Diltiazem
Palliative care consult
gamma gap meaning and definition
difference between total serum protein and serum albumin.
4 g/dL.
gamma gap differential
blood cell dyscrasias or viral infections, e.g., multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, or acute HIV infection
antiarrhythmics for VT
amiodarone, lidocaine, procainamide, magnesium
syncope orders
Chem 7 Telemetry Oximeter CBC EKG CT head If ventricular dysrhythmia diagnosed, consult cardiology for ICD If chest pain → CK-MB/troponin If murmur on exam → TTE If focal deficits on neuro exam OR seizure described → EEG
second set of workup for syncope if first negative
holter
repeat CK-MB and troponin
Urine and blood tox
