ventricular septal area
Term
What heart sound is a late systolic crescendo murmer with a midsystolic click, that is loudest at S2, it's usually benign but can predispose to IE...
Definition
mitral prolapse
Term
This murmer is an immediate high pitched "blowing" diastolic murmer, can present with head bobbing and bounding pulses...
Definition
aortic regurgitation
Term
This murmer follows an OS in diastole, and is a rumbling murmer that can result in LA dilation...
Definition
mitral stenosis
Term
What specific channels are responsible for automaticity?
Definition

If channels

 

Term
What should one treat atrial fibrillation with?
Definition
Ca or beta blockers and then warfarin as prophylaxis for thromboembolism
Term
What should one do to treat atrial flutter?
Definition
class IA, IC or III anti-arrhythmics
Term
Which Mobitz heart block is more likely to be pathologic?
Definition
Mobitz type II (non-wenckebach), can progress to 3rd degree
Term
In a third degree heart block, do the atria or the ventricles beat faster?
Definition
the atria do
Term
What is a change in MAP detected by?
Definition
the medullary vasomotor center (changes symp activity) and the kidneys (JGA leads to change in RAAS)
Term
What hormone is responsible for the escape from aldosterone?
Definition
ANP --> released from atria in response to increased pressure, constricts efferent arteriole and dilates afferent arteriole increasing diuresis
Term
The aortic arch baroreceptors transmit via the ________ while the carotid sinus baroreceptors transmit via the __________
Definition
vagus nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve
Term
What does the aortic arch respond to? The carotid sinus?
Definition
increases in BP only; increases or decreases in BP
Term
In what organ does hypoxia cause vasoconstriction?
Definition
the lungs
Term
What is tricuspid atresia and what does it require for survival of the baby/
Definition
absence of a tricuspid (R-->L shunt), needs an ASD and VSD for survival
Term
What are the causes of L to R shunt?
Definition
VSD, ASD, PDA
Term
What are the 4 characterstics of tetralogy of fallot?
Definition
pulmonary stenosis, RVH, overriding aorta, and VSD
Term
What do patients with tetralogy of fallot learn to do and why?
Definition
squat to improve symptoms --> compresses femoral veins increasing venous return, decreasing R-->L shunt
Term
What does d-transposition of the great vessels result from?
Definition
failure of the aorticopulmonary septum to spiral
Term
While infantile coarctation of the aorta is located ____________, adult is located ___________
Definition
proximal to the ductus arteriosus, distal to the ligamentum arteriosum
Term
What can you give a patient with transposition of the great vessels to keep their PDA open (and therefore keep them alive)?
Definition
prostaglandins (indomethacin would close the PDA)
Term
What pathognomic feature is seen in arteriolosclerosis in malignant hypertension?
Definition
hyperplastic "onion skinning"
Term
What is CK-MB useful for in MI?
Definition
diagnosing reinfarction on top of acute MI
Term
What is more specific for MI than other protein markers?
Definition
troponin
Term
While transmural infarcts have ________ on ECG, subendocardial infarcts have _____________
Definition
st elevation, st depression
Term
What leads will have Q waves in an inferior wall infarction?
Definition
II, III and aVF
Term
If a patient returns with chest pain 3-5 days after an MI and you hear a friction rub...
Definition
the have postinfarction pericarditis - ok
Term
What are the symptoms of hypoparathyroidism?
Definition
hypocalcemia, tetany (Chvostek's sign and Trousseau's sign are both assoc)
Term
What syndrome results in pseudohypoparathyroidism?
Definition
Albright's - kidney doesn't respond to PTH, shortened 4th/5th digits, short stature, autosomal dominant

Term
When is increased GH seen normally?
Definition
stress, exercise and hypoglycemia
Term
How can one detect acromegaly for sure?
Definition
failure to decrease serum GH after an oral glucose tolerance test
Term
How can one test for diabetes insipidus?
Definition
do a water deprivation test - urine osmolality should increase, if it doesn't --> DI
Term
What drugs can be used to treat nephrogenic DI?
Definition
hydrochlorothiazide, indomethacin, and amiloride
Term
What is the effect of diabetes on potassium levels?
Definition
causes hyperkalemia, but decreased intracellular potassium due to decreased insulin-induced shift
Term
A patient shows up with recurrent diarrhea, cutaneous flushing, asthmatic wheezing, and R sided valvular disease. You take a urine sample and find increased 5-HIAA... what do they have?
Definition
carcinoid syndrome - multiple carcinoid tumors that secrete serotonin
Term
What are the tumors in carcinoid syndrome derived from? What is the treatment?
Definition
neuroendocrine cells of the GI tract, octreotide
Term

Definition
MEN 1 - Zollinger Ellison Syndrome is the dx
Term
What does insulin result in at it's target organs?
Definition
increases glucose uptake and productino of glycogen in the liver and muscle, production of fat in the lipose tissue, also increases protein production and K uptake in the muscle
