⩥ Arrhythmias. Answer: Risk Factors: Heart disease, thyroid disorders,
electrolyte imbalances. Investigations:
Gold Standard: Electrophysiology study. First-Line: ECG, Holter
monitor. Treatment:
Antiarrhythmics (e.g., amiodarone), anticoagulation (e.g., apixaban for
AF), catheter
ablation.


⩥ Chest Pain. Answer: Risk Factors: CAD, GERD, anxiety, pulmonary
disease. Investigations: Gold Stan-
dard: Depends on cause (e.g., angiography for CAD). First-Line: ECG,
troponins, chest
X-ray. Treatment: Cause-specific (e.g., nitroglycerin for angina, PPI for
GERD).


⩥ Congestive heart Failure. Answer: Risk Factors: Hypertension, CAD,
diabetes, obesity. Investigations: Gold Standard:
Echocardiogram. First-Line: BNP, ECG, chest X-ray. Treatment:
Furosemide (symp-

,toms), ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril), beta-blockers, spironolactone
(advanced).


⩥ Coronary Artery Disease. Answer: Risk Factors: Smoking,
hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia. Investigations: Gold
Standard: Coronary angiography. First-Line: Stress test, ECG.
Treatment: Statins,
aspirin, beta-blockers, PCI or CABG if severe.


⩥ Endocarditis. Answer: Risk Factors: IV drug use, valve disease,
prosthetic valves. Investigations: Gold
Standard: Transesophageal echocardiogram. First-Line: Blood cultures,
transthoracic
echo. Treatment: IV antibiotics (e.g., vancomycin), surgery for
complications.
