U World 3 Flashcards
Takayasu Arteritis
large vessel vasculitis
s/s fever, arthralgia, weight loss
Vitals: BP discrepancies/ arterio-occlusive symptoms
rx: steroids
Hemodynamics of hypovolemic shock
↑ SVR
↓ CVP, Pulm wedge, CO
Thromboangiitis obliterans
burger disease
heavy smokers, superficial thrombophlebitis/ ischemia–> gangrenous digits
Cardiogenic shock hemodynamics
↑ PCWP and SVR
↓ CO, BP
*LV dysfunction –> ↑ PCWP and ↓ CO
Elevated levels of _________ ar seen in androgen producing tumors
dehydroepiandrosterone
Most common valve involved with infective endocarditis in non drug user
Mitral regurg
Most common valve involved in drug user infective endocarditis
tricuspid
Reasons for renal salt wasting
diuretics
hyperaldosteronism
RTA
Most common form of paroxysmal SVT
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia
vagal maneuvers help by slowing AV node conduction and increasing refractory period
A fixed upper airway obstruction flow volume loop
Decreased airflow on inspiration and expiration, flat pancake shape
Only this form of COPD has complete reversal with bronchodilators
Asthma
Asthma flow volume loop
scooped out, shifted left
Why do nitrates help in MIs
decreased myocardial oxygen demand
↓ LV volume/ wall stress
Restrictive lung disease flow volume loop
Shifts right
tiny size
Vitiligo is caused by?
destruction of melanocytes
Exudative effusion from empyema characterized by
Low glucose
low pH (<7.2)
High Protein
Transudative effusions
Low protein (under three) Glucose and pH normal
Empyema vs uncomplicated parapneumonic effusion
empyema will not get better with abx
