TBL Mashup Flashcards
Sensitivity
proportion of people with disease who test positive (a/a+c)
specificity
proportion of people w/o disease who test negative (d/b+d)
PPV
proportion of pts who test positive who have the disease (a/a+b)
NPV
proportion of pts who test negative who don’t have the disease (d/c+d)
lead-time bias
earlier detection w/o change in life expectancy
length-time bias
pick up slowly progressive tumors which have a better prognosis no matter what
CHADS2 score
- A-fib anti-coagulation
- C = CHF (1)
- H = HTN (1)
- A = Age > 75 (1)
- D = Diabetes (1)
- S = past Stroke or TIA (2)
- score 0 = nothing or ASA
- score 1 = ASA or warfarin
- score 2 = warfarin (INR 2-3)
first line therapy for A-Fib
- -Beta-blockers
- -Verapamil or diltiazem (nondihydropyradine CCB)
- -Dronedarone
NYHA Classifications for LV function
- Class 1 (mild)= asymptomatic LV dysfunct –> b-blocker
- Class 2 (mild)= symptoms with normal physical activity –> b-blocker
- Class 3 (mod)= symp with minimal activity –> b-blocker + spironolactone
- Class 4 (sev)= symptoms at rest –> b-blocker + spironolactone
irregular rhythms
- Sinus tach w/ PACs (premature atrial contractions)
- A-Fib
- A-Flutter with variable block
- Multifocal atrial tachy (MAT)
regular rhythms
- Sinus Tach
- A-Flutter
- WPW = wolf-parkinson-white
- SVT = super ventricular tachy
- AVNRT = AV nodal re-entrant tachy
- Ventricular Tach (wide complex)
PR interval
0.12- 0.20
QRS complex
less than 0.12
Left atrial enlargement on EKG
- P mitrale=
- P wave > 0.12 sec;
- P have has 2 humps Lead II
Right atrial enlargement on EKG
- p-pulmonale =
- P wave > 2.5mm high and looks like it’d hurt to sit on V1
Right ventricular enlargment on EKG
larger R wave in V1 or V2
Left ventricular enlargement on EKG
Tallest R in V5 or V6
Deepest S in V1 or V2
A-fib features on EKG
irregularly irregular rhythm NO P-waves
EKG rate counting on EKG
300 - 150 - 100 - 75 - 60 - 50
CURB -65 criteria (predicts mortality in pneumonia)
- C = confusion
- U = BUN > 7
- R = RR > 30
- B = BP less than 90/60
- 65 = age > 65
- meets 2 criteria –> admit to hospital
- meets 3 criteria –> ICU admit
