Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea?
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) Pulmo vol 2 page 1667
Causes of pulsus purvus ( weak pulse) ?
Decrease LV stroke volume A narrow pulse pressure Inc peripheral vascular resistance
Causes of hypokinetic pulse?
Hypovolemia LV failure Restrictive pericardial disease MV stenosis
Cause of pulsus tardus?
AV stenosis
Causes of hyperkinetic pulse?
Increase LV stroke volume Decrease in peripheral vascular resistance Complete heart block Anemia Exercise Fever PDA Peripheral AV fistula MR, VSD, AR
Causes of dicrotic pulse?
Very low stroke volume e.g. dilated cardiomyopathy
Causes of pulsus alterans?
Paroxysmal tachycardia Severe LV dysfunction
Cause of pulsus bigeminus?
PVCs
Causes of pulsus paradoxus ( > 10 mmHg dec in SBP with inspiration)?
Pericardial tamponade Airway obstruction SVC obstruction
Component of a JVP wave forms?
Wave forms A wave – venous distention due to right atrial contraction C wave – inc venous pressure due to bulging tricuspid valve ( during IVCD) + impact of the carotid artery to the internal jug vein X descent – atrial relaxation V wave – increasing blood volume in the right atrium Y wave – when tricuspid opens up
Causes of large a waves (cannon A waves)?
Tricuspid stenosis Pulmonary hypertension Pulmonic stenosis Junctional rhythm AV dissociation
Cause of an absent a wave?
Atrial fibrillation
Cause of an increase in delay between the a wave and carotid pulse?
First degree AV block
Whats the normal JVP?
8 cm blood ( from the sternal angle)
Whats a positive abdominojugular reflux?
Increase in JVP during a10 sec firm abdominal compression
Whats a kausmauls sign?
Increase rather than a decrease in CVP during inspiration A sign of severe right sided failure
Cause of lateral downward displacement of the apical pulse?
LVH
Cause of double systolic apical pulse?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Cause of sustained systolic lift?
RVH
Cause of right parasternal lift?
MR
Cause of a thrill in the cardiac apex?
MR
Thrill from the precordium to the RIGHT side of the neck?
AS
Thrill from the precordium to the LEFT side of the neck?
PS
Etiology of the heart sounds?
S1 – closure of the AV valve S2 – closure semilunar valves S3 – rapid filling of the ventricle ( first 2/3 of diastole) S4 – contraction of the atrium against a non compliant ventricle ( last 1/3 of diastole)
Murmurs which increases during inspiration ( a maneuver which increases systemic venous return)?
Right sided murmurs TR TS PS PR
Effect of valsalva maneuver on murmurs ( decrease R and L Vent filling)?
Decreases all murmurs except for HOCM and MVP
Effect of standing on murmurs ( decrease L Vent filling)?
Decreases all murmurs except for HOCM and MVP
Effect of hand grip exercise in murmurs ( increases systemic arterial pressure and HR)?
Increases MR VSD AR Decreases MS PS HCOM
