AHN 572 Cardiology I Test graded A

eruptive xanthomas red-yellow papules on butt when triglycerides > 1000 lipidema retinalis white vessels seen with opthalmoscope when triglycerides > 2000 Hemoglobin A1c _____ is closely tied with elevated triglycerides (normal is < 5.7, goal is < 7) a. < 200 b. < 150 c. < 100 d. > 40 desired values are: a.

HDL < ___ for men and < ____for women D. BP > _____ E. BG > ____ Myocardial ischemia ______ _______ is a frequent cause of cardiac chest pain and is usually described as dull, aching, or as a sensation of "pressure," "tightness," "squeezing," or "gas," rather than as sharp or spasmodic.

physical finding during angina can include a ____ rhythm and an _____ _____ murmur due to transient mitral regurgitation from papillary muscle dysfunction- present during pain only. horizontal or downsloping ST-segment depression During anginal episodes, as well as during asymptomatic ischemia, the characteristic ECG change is ______ or _____ ST-segment ______. that reverses after the ischemia disappears. STEMI Physical finding findings with a ______ include: anxiety and sometimes profuse sweating, heart rate may range from marked bradycardia (most commonly in inferior infarction) to tachycardia, low cardiac output, or arrhythmia. LV during a STEMI, Atrial gallops (S4) are significant for ____ dysfunction. prolonged HyperK: P wave is _____ Widened HyperK: QRS is _____ tall HyperK: T wave is ____

AV

HyperK: Decreased vent. depolarization and Slow ___ conduction U wave HypoK: ___ wave is present PVCs, A flutter, bradycardia HypoK: arrhythmias? Bradycardia HypoK: what rate issue? AV block HypoK: ___ Block digitalis toxicity HypoK: Potentiated effects of ____ ____ (med) Bradycardia- related to increased myocardial contractility HyperCa: Common arrhythmia?

T wave HypoMg: ____ wave is flat SVT Torsades V. arrhythmia HypoMg: common arrhythmia include ____, ____ & _____ Hypomagnesemia Disturbance of what electorate can cause coronary and systemic vasospasm? summation gallop _____ _____ is the presence of all heart sounds (S1, S2, S3,S4). Always a pathologic finding highly suggestive of a MI. Aortic Regurgitation and Pulmonic Regurgitation Early diastolic murmurs are caused from incompetently closed semilunar valves and involve which two murmurs? Aortic Regurg _____ murmur:

  • early diastolic
  • Decrescendo quality (diminishes in intensity) -high pitch -sound intensifies when pt sits forward Mitral Stenosis _______ murmur: -Diastolic rumbling murmurs
  • low pitched
  • Decrescendo-cresendo
  • heard best at apex; L later position -associated with rheumatic heart disease, myxomas, congenital malformation Pulmonic Regurg _____ murmur:
  • early diastolic -Decrescendo quality (diminishes in intensity) -low- medium pitch Tricuspid Stenosis _______ murmur:
  • Diastolic rumbling murmurs
  • mid- diastolic -->heard louder with inspirations
  • low pitched- use bell
  • Decrescendo-crescendo
  • heard best at L sternal boarder
  • Holosystolic high pitch blowing sound
  • heard best at the apex --> radiates to left axilla -Lateral position intensifies sounds
  • associated with endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, rupture of the papillary muscles after acute MI Tricuspid Regurgitation _______ murmur:
  • soft systolic blowing sound
  • heard best at L lower sternal boarder
  • intensifies during inspiration Aortic Regurgitation - remember if it occurs after S2 then it's a diastolic murmur. (Lub-dub-murmur). During diastole the aortic valve should be closed, but if you hear a murmur there then it is due to the backward flow of blood into the left ventricle causing a murmur. _______ _____ murmur is heard best in the 2nd ICS right sternal border after S2 is C. Mitral Stenosis- the apex clues you in that this involves the mitral valve, and the fact that the thrill is felt during DIASTOLE you know that it must be mitral stenosis. During palpation of the pericardium you feel a thrill in the apex area late in diastole, you know that this finding is consistent with which murmur? A. Aortic Stenosis B. Pulmonic Stenosis C. Mitral Stenosis D. Mitral Regurgitation B. Aortic Stenosis

You hear a growling and harsh murmur in the 2nd ICS right sternal border after S1. You know this murmur is _____. A. Aortic Regurgitation B. Aortic Stenosis C. Pulmonic Regurgitation D. Pulmonic Stenosis D. Pulmonic Stenosis ______ murmur is medium-pitch and is auscultated in the 2nd ICS left sternal border after S1. A. Aortic Regurgitation B. Aortic Stenosis C. Pulmonic Regurgitation D. Pulmonic Stenosis mitral regurgitation; ruptured papillary muscles A patient is recovering from an acute MI. You discover a new holosystolic murmur heard loudest at the left 5th ICS midclavicular line that radiates to the left axillae. You identify this murmur as _________ and suspect ________? PVD Swelling and tenderness over muscles, engorged superficial veins, and brown discoloration of the lower extremities is suggestive of ____? a. no b. >.

3rd degree block: a. Dropped beat (yes or no?) b. PR interval is ____ c. R- R is ____ (equal or unequal) V1 & V RBBB R-R' Seen in what Leads? V5 & V LBBB R-R' Seen in what Leads? Hypertension _________ in African Americans has earlier onset and greater prevalence, is harder to control, and is associated with far more end-organ damage African American and Hispanic Financial barriers are also much more likely in _____ & _____ cardiac patients and are strongly associated with persistent angina and rehospitalization 30 min; 90 min MI or new BBB treat within: ED door to fibrolytics _____ ED door to angioplasy _____

Unstable Angina Lasts > 30 minutes, may occur at rest or with activity, pattern usually progresses with increased frequency, duration, intensity, may radiate, EKG may show ST depression, Nitrates usually insufficient to relieve pain. Stable Angina Intermittent, usually induced by exercise, exertion, stress, usually lasts 1-5 min. (max of 10-20 min), may radiate, EKG may show ST depress. (ischemia), relieved with rest or Nitro or both. Prinzmetals Variant Coronary artery spasm, up to 30min, at rest, EKG usually shows ST ELEVATION CCB treat Prinzmetals Variant with? Manage with ACS protocol treat Unstable Angina with? controlled with lifestyle changes, nitrates, B Blockers, or CCB treat Stable Angina with?

______ ______ cause unknown; probably obesity, ETOH, smoking, NSAIDs Secondary HTN _____ _____ - causes include Estrogen (contraceptives/HRT), renal disease, pregnancy, sleep disorders, endocrine disorders (pheochromocytoma), or isolated with aging (SBP more important over age 50) Thiazide diuretics 1st line treatment of HTN ACEI and ARBS what two classes of BP lowering meds cannot be taken concurrently? ACEI or ARBs 1st line HTN treatment in patient with DM or CHF? PAD Risk factors for this disorder include DM, smoking, and CAD? pain (intermittent claudication to calf/thigh/buttock) pallor, pulse (absent/diminished) paresthesia paralysis poikilothermia
