25
wide complex tachycardia
AV dissociation? Fusiin/ ca[ture beats - YES: VT --> if stable give amiodarone, if unstable (hypotension, resp distress, alterend mental) --> synch cardioversion - NO --> SVT with abbereancy --> stable make maneuvers, unstable the same as VT
26
essential diagnostic sign for sustained monomorphic VT
fusion beats
27
chronic stable angina treatment
1. beta blockers 2. CCBs nondihydro 3. Dihydr CCB 4. Nitrates 5. Ranolazine
28
pericardiocentesis is indicated in
Pleural effusion and UNSTABLE
29
indications for synchronized cardioversions
hemodynamic instability deu to narrow or wide QRS complex tachyarrhytmia (AF, atrial flatter, VT with pulse)
30
drug that enlarge QRS if fast HR
class IC
31
malignant HTN?
more than 180.120 + retinal hemorrhage, exudatesor papilledema
32
hypertensice emergency?
Severe HTN with end organ complications
33
CHA2DS2-VASc score
``` IN NONVALVULAR: CHF (1) HTN (1) Age more than 74 (2) DM (1) Stroke/TIA/Thromboemb (2) Vasc disease (prior I. PAD, aortic plaque) (1) Age 65-74 (1) Sex: female (1) if 0 --> low risk, no antithromb therapy, 1 --> interm risk --> none or aspirin or antithromb 2 or more --> oral anticoagulatns ```
34
Aortic fibrilation - aware of pounding
left lateral decubitus --> brings the enlarged LV closer to the chest wall and causes pounding sensation and increased awareness of heartbeat
35
ascending vs descenting aneurysms are due to
asc: cystic medial necrosis desc: atheroscl
36
constrictive pericarditis - etiology
1. idioathic or viral pericarditis 2. cardiac surgery or radiation therapy 3. TB pericarditis (in endemic
37
constrictive pericarditis - diagnostic findings
1. ECG: nonspecific 2. Image: pericardial thickening and calcification 3. prominent x & y
38
adult tachycardia algorithm (with pulse)
assess appropriateness for clinical condition (HR more than 150) --> identify + treat underlying cause (maintain airway, assists breathing, O2, cardiac monitor) --> unstable (hypotension, mental, shock, ischemic, acute HF)??? YES --> sync cardioversion NO --> QRS more than 0.12 - if yes --> adenosine, antiarrhythmic infusion - no --> vagal, adenosine (if regular), beta block, CCB
39
prinzmental angina - treatment
preventive: CCB abortive: sublingual NO
40
labs evidence of poor prognostic Systolic HF

ECG evidence of poor prognosis in Systolic HF
long WRS | LBBB
42
Reversible causes of asystole/PEA

- evaluation of 2ry causes - if less 150-500: lifestyle modification (and statin in cardiovascular risk) - if more than 1000: pancreatitis prevention (fibrates, fish oil, no alcohol) --> if drop more than 500 -> lifestyle modif
49
The most specific ecg finding in pericarditis
PR segment depression
50
Constrictive pericarditis - clinical signal
1. Kussmaul sign 2. Knock: extra heart sound in diastole from ventricular filling (the heart fioos to its maximum --> it hits the rigid pericaridum)

triad of erectile dysfunction, buttock + hip pain, absent femoral pulse
52
Vasovagal syncope - prodrome symptoms
nausea, pallor, diaphoresis
53
Guidelines for lipid-lowering therapy (general)
1. LDL more than 190 2. Clinically significant atherosc disease (ASC, angina, mi, stoke, TIA, PAD: if younger than 75: high intenisity, moderate for older than 75 3. age 40-75 with DM 40-75 4. estimated 10 years ASCVD risk 7.5% or more: moderate to high
54
LDL more than 190 - statin?
high-intensity statin
55
Statin in Clinically significant atherosc disease
ASC, angina, mi, stoke, TIA, PAD: - 75 or younger: high intenisity - older than 75: moderate
56
DM - statin?
if age 40-75: - 10 years ASCVD risk 7.5% or more: high intensity - 10 years ASCVD risk less than 7.5%: moderate
57
exertional heat stroke- clinical manifestation
core Q more than 40 immediately after collapse AND - CNS dysfunction - additional organ or tissue damage (Renal/hepatic failure/ DIC, ARDS)
58
exertional heat stroke - management
1. rapid cooling (ice immersion preferred) 2. fluids 3. electrolyte correction 4. management of end organ complications 5. NO ROLE FOR ANTIPYRETICS
59
AS - early vs late peaking of pulse
in moderate: early | in severe: late
60
murmur in severe AS
mid to late peaking
61
Sclerodermal renal crisis
- acute renal failure (without kidney disease) and malignant hypertension (eg. headache, blurry vision, nausea) (HIGH RENIN) - urinalysis: mild proteinuria - peripheral: microangiopathic hemolytic anemia + schistocytes and thrombocytopenia)
62
types of arrhythmia at 1st hour after MI
1. - immediate or phase 1a ventricular arrhythmias in first 10 mins 2. - delayed or phase 1b arrhythmias in 10-60 mins (reetrant arrhythmias)
63
anticoagulation in pericarditis
never --> hemorrhagic pericardial effusion
64
ventricula aneurysm - what else beside ST elevations
Q waves in the same leads
65
doctor - gifts form 3rd person?
only small gifts that benefits patients are acceptable
66
adult with meningitis wants to leave -->
hospitlize him and isolate
