Objectives But first…

• Review specific high-yield EKG patterns • Frame your mind • Ischemia • Most frequent questions • Ischemia mimics • Treatment of • Electrolytes • Work-up for • Review Cardiac/CV meds • Most common… • Exceptions to the rule • Assorted other entities • • Endocarditis Hard triggers to pull • Tumors • Peer carefully • Hypertensive emergency • What’s trending • Repeat ?’s • At risk populations

And second … Ischemia EKG’s

20’s y.o. s/p syncope Irregularly irregular wide • A. adenosine complex tachycardia differential • B. amiodarone • Afib with aberrancy • C. Bicarb drip • Still limited by AVN • D. Cardioversion • QRS appearance consistent • Polymorphic Vtach • More likely to be older pt with heart disease • Some have a wandering baseline • Afib with WPW • Not limited by AVN • Varying QRS but fairly constant voltage • some with delta waved beats • Often in young otherwise healthy pts

Cardiac Meds

• Epi • 1/1,000 • 1/10,000 • Adenosine • Atropine • Beta Blocker – dissection, thyroid storm • Aminophylline

Thrombolytics for PE Aortic stenosis

• Fixed outflow obstruction reliant on preload • Massive • Vasodilation during exercise leads to syncope • Sustained hypotension • LV hypertrophy • Pulselessness • Can lead to angina • Persistent profound brady • Submassive • RV dysfunction by BNP or echo • Myocardial necrosis

37 38

Mitral valve Endocarditis

• Acute regurg • Aortic valve most common • Usually 1-2 days post MI • Was previously mitral • Overt cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema • S. aureus most common cause • Afterload reduction • Nitrates/nipride/cardene • Risk factors – 50% occur with previously normal valves • Prolapse • Congen/rheumatic heart disease • Palpitations, chest pain, orthopnea, fatigue • IVDA • Beta blockers, diuretics • Hemodialysis • HIV/immunosuppression

Endocarditis diagnosis Endocarditis treatment

• TTE 60% sensitive, TEE 95% • Minor criteria • Community acquired and native • Surgery sensitive • Predisposing heart condition or valves • Failing antibiotics • Duke Criteria IVDA • PCN + Gent • Abscess enlargement or • Fever over 100.4 development • One major + 3 minor • Hospital acquired or non-native • Vascular phenomena • Recurrent emboli • 5 minor valve or PCN allergy or suspect • Hemodynamic instability • Immunologic phenomena community acquired MRSA • Staph, Q fever, fungal cause • Major Criteria • Microbiologic evidence • Vanco + Gent • Positive blood cultres • Echo findings short of major • Positive echo • New valvular regurg

43 44

Cardiac tumors Hypertensive emergency

• SYMPTOMATIC blood pressure > 180/120 • Generally lower 10-20% over first hour • Know stroke numbers • 220/120 if not TPA • 185/110 if TPA • Aggressive management of dissection • And fairly aggressive of SAH

45 46

Take-homes

• STEMI mimics are commonly tested on boards • Consider the K on any weird bradycardia • Know inclusions/exclusions for lytics • R-E-L-A-X
