Q

What CVD manifestation are you most worried about in your DM pt? What is the pathology behind this problem?

A

MI/atypical ischemia
DMs have large CAD burden –> more risk of MI
More post-MI complications

Q

A pt presents with HTN, CAD, atherosclerosis, and CHF. He is extremely obese (BMI = 45). What is the pathology behind his CVD? What treatment would most effective for this pt?

A

Large blood volume –> increased CO –> increased V filling pressure (heart is over-burdened)
Weight reduction!!! Reduce BV, CO, HTN, hypertrophy

Q

What is the pathology behind advanced atherosclerosis that is common in SLE mediated CVD?

A

Autoimmune attack –> chronic inflammation –> oxidative damage to arteries
Chronic steroid use

17
Q

A pt presents w/ pancarditis, mitral stenosis, endocarditis, arrhythmias, fever, arthralgia, scarlet tongue, a mitral murmur, and a pericardial friction rub. A few years ago the pt remembers having a really bad sore throat but he never got treated for it. What do you suspect?

A

CVD d/t Rheumatic Fever

18
Q

A pt presents with mitral valve disease and a mitral murmur. She has a fever, arthralgia, and a scarlet, maculopapular rash on her trunk. What diagnostic test should you do? How would you treat if the tests are positive?

A

Throat swab/rapid strep test
ASO or ADB tiger
Treat for strep

19
Q

A pt presents with pancarditis, endocarditis, fever, arthralgia, chest pain, and an aortic murmur. ECG shows an increased PR interval, and A-fib. Last month he was treated for strep throat, but appears to have failed therapy. What Tx might you recommend?

A

CVD d/t Rheumatic Fever
Treat GAS or long-term Benzathine PCN
Valve repaired/replacement if Tx fails
Tx HTN, HF, etc.
