Week 3: HF & Cardiomyopathy Flashcards
What type of cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved systolic function and impaired relaxation?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
What type of cardiomyopathy is characterized by increased LV chamber size and systolic dysfunction?
Dilated cardiomyopathy
What is the most common cause of congestive heart failure?
Cardiac Muscle Dysfunction
(CMD)
In hypertension, increased arterial pressure leads to?
left ventricular
hypertrophy
What medication should be taken with a pulmonary embolism?
Rapidly acting fibrinolytic agent (heparin)
What values would indicate Pulmonary hypertension?
Abnormal if >25 mm Hg or in patients
with COPD if >20 mm Hg
A murmur heard in Mitral area in systole would indicate which valve disease?
Mitral regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation would be considered what type of murmur?
Systolic murmur / Holosystolic murmur
Tricuspid regurgitation would be considered what type of murmur?
Systolic murmur / Holosystolic murmur
Mitral/Tricuspid stenosis would be considered what type of murmur?
Snap diastolic murmur
Mitral/Tricuspid regurgitation can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S1 and S2
Mitral/Tricuspid stenosis can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S2 and S1
Aortic valve regurgitation can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S2 and S1
Signs and symptoms of aortic valve regurgitation?
- High systolic pressure with lower diastolic pressure
means wider pulse pressure - Bounding Pulse
Aortic valve regurgitation can best be heard where?
ERBS area
Aortic Valve Stenosis can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S1 and S2
Pulmonary Valve Regurgitation can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S2 and S1
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis can be heard during which phase of the cardiac cycle?
Between S1 and S2
A mid to late systolic murmur heard at Pulmonic area and a split S2 is characteristic of?
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Early diastolic decrescendo murmur heard in ERBS area during inspiration is characteristic of?
Pulmonary Valve Regurgitation
