Sudhaya Kumar Dept of Cardiology Professor of Cardiology Southern Railway Headquarters Hospital Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences Chennai Kochi v FOREWORD It gives us great pride in organizing the Clinical Cardiology Update 2010 at the Madras Medical Mission. The Madras Medical Mission has been in the forefront of teaching, training and therapeutics in cardiology over the last 25 years. This Cardiology Update has been an effort by the cardiology group at the Madras Medical Mission to provide candidates in training in cardiology an opportunity to interact with best of teachers and updating their skills in clinical cardiology. I thank the entire faculty and wish all delegates a useful and interactive update. This would be an annual programme at the Madras Medical Mission. Dr. Mullasari Ajit S. Course Director vii Preface Cardiology is the fastest developing superspeciality in medicine due to introduction of high gadget investigative tools along with advanced interventional and surgical treatment. However clinical cardiology is losing its charm and importance in the examination of a cardiac patient. To improve clinical skills in cardiology, we at the Madras Medical Mission decided to hold a Clinical Cardiology Update for the benefit of cardiology postgraduates across the country. We are also coming out with a course book, which will primarily focus on improving clinical cardiology skills and strengthening your preparation for the clinical cardiology examinations. I am thankful to my Director of Cardiology at the Madras Medial Mission, Dr.Ajit Mullasari for giving me the responsibility of organizing this conference. I am also thankful to Dr. R. Suresh Kumar, Head of Pediatric Cardiology Department for his guidance and support. I will be failing in my responsibilities if I do not thank my colleagues, Dr.Latchumanadhas and Dr. Ulhas Pandurangi and all other faculty members, residents and secretaries for their immense support. I appreciate the enthusiasm and cooperation of all the postgraduates who attended and made the 2009 Update a grand success. We are confident that at the end of the update you will be more confident than before to face the challenge of clinical cardiology examination. We also welcome suggestions from you to improve the course book and the update sessions for the future. Dr. J. Ezhilan Organising Secretary ix Acknowledgements: We thank all Registrars and Ms. Sujatha K. for their assistance in successfully bringing out this book. GENERAL EXAMINATION OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Dr. J. Ezhilan Physical signs are objective indications of disease whose significance is enhanced when they confirm a disease already suggested by the patients history. At times the physical sign may be the only evidence for the disease. The physical examination should be performed methodically and thoroughly also taking into consideration the patients comfort and modesty. The examination must extend from head to foot in an objective search for abnormalities. Skill in physical diagnosis is acquired with experience and knowledge, for the eye sees only what the brain knows. A good history taking, detailed symptom analysis and thorough general examination is half way through to the diagnosis of a cardiovascular disorder. However a meticulous general examination in a cardiovascular case is inadequately utilized. A common pitfall in cardiovascular medicine is the failure by the cardiologist to recognize that a patient’s heart disease is part of a systemic illness and failure of the noncardiologist to recognize the presence of a cardiac disorder accompanying the systemic illness. Hence it is imperative to do detailed general examination of a cardiovascular patient Cardiovascular Disorders With Findings In General Examination Cardiovascular disorders with findings in general examination can be broadly classified as follows 1) Chromosomal abnormalities 2) Heritable conditions 3) Connective tissue disorders 4) Inborn errors of metabolism 5) Sporadic disorders 6) Teratogenic disorders 7) Endocrine disorders 1) Chromosomal Abnormalities Chromosomal abnormalities and mutation of single genes accounts for less than 10% of cardiac malformations. The common chromosomal abnormalities are a) Trisomy (Additional chromosome) b) Monosomy (Missing chromosome) c) Triploidy (1 additional set of chromosome) d) Tetraploidy (2 additional set of chromosomes). Of the above abnormalities Trisomy is the commonest abnormality. Trisomy occurs for all chromosomes but only trisomy 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosome are compatible with survival to term.

  • Pdf Maximiliano Rubín and the Context of Galdos's Medical Knowledge
    97 MAXIMILIANO RUBÍN AND THE CONTEXT OF GALDÓS’S MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE Michael W. Stannard The Medical Context Galdós’s interest in doctors, medicine and abnormal mental states is well known and has been the subject of many studies.1 More than 50 doctors populate the pages of his fiction prompting Granjel to refer to a “colegio médico galdosiano” (167). Almost invariably these physicians are portrayed in a favorable light (García Lisbona, 105, note 3), epitomized particularly in the combination of scientific outlook and humane concern of Galdosian characters such as Augusto Miquis, Teodoro Golfín and Moreno Rubio. References to medications abound in the novels 2 while the medical sciences appear in a significant sample of Galdós’s journalistic articles more often than any other science.3 It is somewhat surprising, therefore, that Galdós’s knowledge of the medical sciences of his time should remain incompletely explored. It is the purpose of this paper to draw attention to the depth of Galdós’s understanding of the medical advances of his day, which still remains under-appreciated. Galdós wrote at a time of revolutionary changes in medicine. Gradually replacing the older vitalistic and humoral conceptions of disease, positivist medicine emanating especially from France identified anatomical abnormalities associated with many diseases (Laín Entralgo 273-308). Microscopical studies by Virchow and others from the 1840s onwards identified the cellular basis of disease. From the 1860s Pasteur and Koch showed the role of bacteria in infection while Lister found practical applications in his antiseptic, and later, aseptic techniques that revolutionized the scope and safety of surgery.

  • Towards a History of Infective Endocarditis
    Medical History, 1996, 40: 25-54 Towards a History of Infective Endocarditis ALAIN CONTREPOIS* Infective endocarditis is a serious heart disease which is sometimes very difficult to diagnose and treat despite the progress made over the last few decades. The complex nature of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in this disease is reflected in the countless number of scientific studies still being done on it.1 At the end of the eighteenth century and during the first half of the nineteenth century, the anatomo-clinical method facilitated the gradual establishment of correlations between a lesion discerned during autopsy and symptoms observed in the live patient. It then became a question of bringing together what were, until then, separate individual observations. The very term "endocarditis", referring to an individual tissue and an inflammatory process, goes back to early-nineteenth-century clinicians such as Broussais and Bouillaud, before the germ theory and the birth of bacteriology. However, it was very difficult for doctors of that period to define endocarditis in a simple, unequivocal manner. There was not always a clear relationship between the ideas which late historians have supposed fed each other; the arguments were confusing, tortuous, circular, and dead-end. In his discussion of syphilis, Ludwik Fleck correctly pointed out that disease is a constructed, ever-changing phenomenon which constantly integrates new information and concepts.2 Thus, the term "endocarditis" continued to be used for a disease which underwent endless development throughout the nineteenth century. There was also modification of the aetiological links between anatomical abnormalities, clinical symptoms and observations during autopsy.

Objectives • In pediatric and adult patients: – To provide a general approach to cardiac auscultation – To review the most common pathologic and innocent heart murmurs • To emphasize the importance of a thorough history and physical exam (in addition to murmur description) in determining underlying etiology for heart problems Outline • A little bit of physiology and hemodynamics (we promise not too much) • Interactive pediatric and adult cases – https://pollev.com/michaelgratt679 – Get your listening ears ready! • Systolic murmurs (pathologic and innocent) • Diastolic murmurs • Continuous murmurs • Some other stuff Normal Heart Sounds Normal First & Second Sounds Splitting of 2nd heart sound Physiological : • Venous return to right is increased in inspiration – causes delayed closure of the pulmonary valve. • Simultaneously, return to left heart is reduced - premature closure of the aortic valve. • Heart sounds are unsplit when the patient holds breath at end expiration. Fixed: • No alteration in splitting with respiration. • In a patient with ASD – In expiration there is reduced pressure in the right atrium and increased pressure in the left atrium. • Blood is shunted to the right and this delays closure of the pulmonary valve in the same way as would occur in inspiration.

Honchar AUSCULTATION OF THE HEART To understand the underlying mechanisms contributing to the cardiac tones formation, it is necessary to remember the sequence of myocardial and valvular action during the cardiac cycle. During ventricular systole: 1. Asynchronous contraction, when separate areas of myocardial wall start to contract and intraventricular pressure rises. 2. Isometric contraction, when the main part of the ventricular myocardium contracts, atrioventricular valves close, and intraventricular pressure significantly increases. 3. The ejection phase, when the intraventricular pressure reaches the pressure in the main vessels, and the semilunar valves open. During diastole (ventricular relaxation): 1. Closure of semilunar valves. 2. Isometric relaxation – initial relaxation of ventricular myocardium, with atrioventricular and semilunar valves closed, until the pressure in the ventricles becomes lower than in the atria. 3. Phases of fast and slow ventricular filling - atrioventricular valves open and blood flows from the atria to the ventricles. 4. Atrial systole, after which cardiac cycle repeats again. The noise produced By a working heart is called heart sounds. In auscultation two sounds can be well heard in healthy subjects: the first sound (S1), which is produced during systole, and the second sound (S2), which occurs during diastole.
