a 48-year-old male with type I diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease currently on hemodialysis with dyspnea, cough, and chest pain. He describes the pain as worse during inspiration and when he is lying on his back. The patient reports significant relief of his chest pain by sitting up or leaning forward.
pericarditis
PE findings for pericarditis
-often leads to??
often will lead to pericardial effusion *****
MCC of percarditis
MC=idiopathic
-SLE
-Uremia
-viral infection—– coxsackie MC
-TB
-RA
-neoplasms
-drugs
POST MI PERICARDITIS 2-5 days post op= DRESSLER
how to diagnose percarditis
need two of the following
type of breathing pattern seen with pt in restrictive percarditis
kussmauls sign ——-obstruction to R ventric outflow—— elevating jugular venous and right atrial pressures with inspiration
tx pericarditis
ID cause— tx it
bacterial invovled in endocarditis
acute=staph A
IVDU=staph A
subacute=S. viridans
prosthetic= staph epidermidis
dukes criteria vs jones criteria
DUKE is for endocarditis
JONES for rheumatic fever
tx for Candida endocarditis
Amphotericin B
MCC overall of endocarditis
Strep viridans
**late complication of valve replacement
PE findings for endocarditis
neuro findings— CVA—visual loss, motor weakness, aphasia
diagnosis for endocarditis
-GS?
blood cultres— 3 sets 1 hour apart
EKG
LABS— CBC, ESR, RF
transesophageal echocardiogram is GOLD STANDARD
MODIFIED DUKES CRITERIA
MAJOR CRITERIA
MINOR
who should get AP before dental work
tx for IE
IVDU= ampicillin 500 mg/h + nafcillin 2 g IV q 4 hr + gentamicin 1 mg/kf
PROSTHETIC= vanco 15 mg/kg + gentamicin 1 mg/kg + rifampin 300 PO
valve affected in IVDU and non IVDU
IVDU= tricuspid non= mitral
def diag for stable angina
most sensitive clinical signs to diagnose
tx for stable angina
angiography =GS—- useed only for severe cases bc costly
-stress test= most useful and cost effective
horizontal or downslopping ST-segment depression on ECG during attack
stable angina
-BB + nitro
SEVERE= angioplasty and bypass
what is considered a + stress test
st seg depression of 1 mm
unstable angina vs NSTEMI vs STEMI
unstable= ischemic changes, NO ELEV in troponins, with or without EKG changes for ischemia
NSTEMI= same manifestations as unstable angina, but with elevated troponins—— subendocardial —–ekg changes include ST seg depressions, T wave inversion or BOTH. NO ST ELEVATIONS
SSTEMI= same manifestations as those in unstable angina but with elevations in troponins and EKG Changes—– TRANSMURUAL (full thickness of myocardium)— ST ELEVS
diagnosis of unstable angina
-GS??
ANGIO to diagnose CAD— done if PCI or CABG being considered
tx for unstable angina
number 1 RF for printzmetal angina
smoking
second is cocacine
how to diagnose printzmetal angina
GS to diagnose vasospastic angina
angio with IV provoactive agents like ergonovine into coronary artery
prophylaxtic tx for prinztmetal angina
-what is contraindicated
CCB– tx the vasopsasms like amlodipine + long acting nitrates
CONTRA= use of BB like propranlol
