Term
Most common cardiac disease in dogs
Definition
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Term
Most common cardiac disease in cats
Definition
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Term
most common cardiac disease in large breed dogs
Definition
DCM
Term
most common cardiac disease in smaller breed dogs
Definition
valvular endocardiosis
Term
getting the perfect chest xray
Definition
low mas, high kvp, right lateral and DVP
Term
measuring heart size on x ray
Definition

1. vertebral heart score, measure and then put agains the spine on lateral and count the number of vertebral units it occupies. (8.5-10.5), cats <8. on DV should be less than2/3 of width of thorax

2. Intercostal space on lat view- dogs 2.5-3.5, cats less than 2, same for height 2/3. 

Term
microcardia
Definition
decrease heart size due to hypovolaemia and hypoadrenocorticisms
Term
cardiomegaly
Definition
increased heart size- pericardial effusion, pericardial hernia thing, Dilated cardiomyopathy
Term
aorta bulge on clock
Definition
12-1

pulmonary artery bulge on clock
Definition
1-2
Term
left auricular bulge on clock
Definition
2-3
Term
left ventricular bulge on clock
Definition
3-6
Term
right ventricular bulge on clock
Definition
6-9
Term
right atrial bulge on clock
Definition
9-11
Term
p wave
Definition
depolarization of atria in response to SA node triggering
Term
p-Q interval
Definition
delay of Av node to allow for filling of ventricles
Term
QRS complex
Definition
depolarization of ventricles
Term
T wave
Definition
repolarization of ventricles
Term
escape rhythm
Definition
when Av node takes over SA node
Term
ECG lead configuration
Definition

Red- right forelimb

yellow- left forelimb

green- left hindlimb

black-right hindlimb

Term
av block
Definition
p without QRS
Term
Looking at on ECG?
Definition

1. heart rate

2. rythm

3. p for every QRS, QRS for every P?

4. are they related

5. are all the complexes the same? ex. supraventricular, ventricular ( narrow, wide)

6. p complexes?
7. P and QRS within normal limits?  

Term
wide p
Definition
left atrial enlargement
Term
tall p
Definition
right atrial enlargement
Term
wide QRS
Definition
left ventricular enlargement
Term
tall R
Definition
left ventricular enlargement
Term
small R
Definition
pericardial pleural effusion
Term
Bradyarrythmias
Definition

sinus arrest and sinus block

sick sinus syndrome

sinus bradycardia

atrial standstill 

av block

bundle branch blocks

Term
sinus arrest and sinus block
Definition

sinus arrest- period of no evidence of atrial activity for a period in excess of two preceding R-R intervals

- high vagal tone- brachycephalic dogs

- might see ventricular escape beat

- abolished with atropine

Term
sinus sick syndrome
Definition

shnauzers

periods of arrest without escape beats

usually present with syncope

Term
atrial standstill
Definition

no p waves

QRS wide and bizarre

Term
Av block
Definition

1. slow conduction, increased vagal tone, P-Q prolonged

2. some of p waves not conducted into QRS

3. no conduction, p waves not assoc with QRS. slow QRS, escape beats, pacemaker

Term
Tachyarrythmias
Definition

1. supraventricular

2. ventricular

Term
Supraventricular tacchyarrythmias
Definition

1. premature complex

2. tachycardia

3. atrial fibrillation

4. atria supraventricular 

Term
ventricular arrythmias
Definition

1. premature complexes

2. tachycardia

3. escape beats

 

Term
treatment of bradyarrythmias
Definition

vagolytic drugs-atropine

sympathomimetic- terbutaline

pacemaker

Term
treatment for tachycardia
Definition

SVT- calcium channel blockers, beta blockers

a fib- dogs-digoxin cats-beta blockers, calcium channel blockers

ventricular- dogs-lignocaine

cats- beta blockers
