Cardiology3 Usmle Step 2

Front 1

Dressler syndrome

Back 1

post CABG post cardioectomy pericarditis
Worse lying down better sitting up, rub

Front 2

left ventricular dysfunction and hypertension

Back 2

concentric hypertrophy
dyspnea on exertion
treat with b blocker to improve relaxation allow better filling

Front 3

equivalent right atrium, right ventricle and pulm wedge pressure
low blood pressure
tachycardia

Back 3

cardiac tamponade

Front 4

SVT

Back 4

180-300 bpm
tolerated well in kids
suggest underlying anomoly
Epstein and WPW
revert by dunking head in cold water

Front 5

infant with no murmor,
precordial hyperactivity
loud second heart sound
grey or cyanotic

Back 5

hypoplastic left heart
underdevelopmentof left cardiac chamber
atresia or stenosis of aortic or mitral orifices
hypoplasia of aorta
left atrium and ventricle endocardial fibroelastosis.
patent foramen ovale
dilated hypertropic right ventricle

Front 6

right ventricular infarct
vs cardiac tamponade

Back 6

hypotension
tachycardia
clear lungs
absence of pulsus paradoxus in Right vent infact

Front 7

lupus, contraceptive use
headache
upper extremity weakness
CT with infact of anterior and posterior frontal lobes
parietyal lobes extending to white matter

Back 7

dural sinus thrombosis
superior sagitall sinus
test for aniphospholipid antibody
get cerebral venography

Front 8

apical heave
thrill at second left intercostal space
loud systolic diastolic rasping murmur left sternal boarder
hyerdynamic left ventricle abn flow
prominence of pulmonary artery
increased pumonary vascular markings
wide pulse pressure
bounding arterial pulses
apical heave

Back 8

patent ductus arteriosus
failure of closure of the ductus arteriosis postnatally.

Front 9

pulsus paradoxus,
hypotension
electrical alternans in pt with breast cancer
pericardial effusion
right ventricular collapse

Back 9

tamponade
treat pericardiocentesis

Front 10

purpura, cytopenia, hemolytic anemia, neurologic signs, renal insufficiency, fever

Back 10

TTP
