most common cause is (doxorubicin) -- 1 in 3 cases of heart failure are caused
____. Others? by dilated cardiomyopathy
What PE and EKG changes PE: S3, JVD, crackles - possible
are seen with dilated mitral regurg EKG: nonspecific
cardiomyopathy? ST and T wave changes, LBBB
Hypertrophic cardiac septum; S4
cardiomyopathy: is due
to hypertrophy of the
_. PE reveals mitral
regurgitation, a heart
sound, and
prominent left ventricular
impulse. EKG reveals LVH
Restrictive cardiomyopathy: --infiltrative process - amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and
often caused by a hemochromatosis -- changes in myocardium
process, or post-radiation --most common first symptom is exertion intolerance and fluid
retention, signs of
or post right heart failure
open-heart surgery. What is
the most
common first symptom?
Atrial fibrillation - 1. rate control w BB, CCB, or digoxin
regularly irregular - the 2. Anticoagulation w heparin & warfarin
most common sustained 3. rhythm control w amiodarone or cardioversion
arrhythmia in
adults - what three treatments
are used?
1. cardioversion if no contraindications
Atrial flutter - sawtooth
pattern in II, III, aVF 2. acute rate control tx w BB, CCB - amiodarone, sotalol,
,- what three treatments are quinidine, or procainamide
used? 3. If site of reentrant is known, catheter ablation
, Multifocal atrial CCB
tachycardia - noted in
patients with COPD or
severe systemic illness -
EKG shows multiple
shaped P waves and
differing PR intervals__
are
agents of choice?
BLOCKS First degree; Wenckebach Mobitz type I; Mobitz type II, Third
1____ =prolonged PR interval degree block
2___ =progressive increase in
PR until
Pwave is blocked.
3____ =sudden block in P wave w
no change
in PR
4____ =atrial and ventricular
rhythm are
independent of each other.
A_ may develop after acute Bundle branch block
MI, PE, aortic
stenosis and is due to a
conduction delay in the
right or left bundles.
Paroxysmal vagal maneuvers or antianxiety medication
supraventricular
tachycardia is a reentry
tachycardia, commonly
noted in elderly patients
with underlying heart
disease. What treatment
