Cardiac Pharm
This drug is used in the treatment of intraoperative hypotension with sub-aortic stenosis (IHSS).
What is phyenylephrine/neosynephrine?
A rumbling mid-diastolic murmur heard at the apex of the heart is characteristic of this condition.
What is mitral stenosis?
A rhythm that is characterized by an asynchronous rhythm between the p waves and the QRS complexes.
What is 3rd degree AV block? (Or complete heart block)
The formula for cardiac output.
What is HR x SV?
A law that pertains to cardiac muscle fiber length and stretch.
What is Starling's Law?
The drug to administer to a patient with mitral regurgitation who develops ST depression during your case.
What is nitroglycerine?
An ejection systolic murmur heard at the 2nd intercostal space is typical for this valvular lesion.
What is aortic stenosis?
A classic EKG change that is indicative of an occurring myocardial infarction, potassium issue, or digitalis effect.
What is ST Depression?
EDV - ESV equals this.
What is stroke volume?
In a resting 70kg male, the normal left ventricle ejects this amount of blood with one beat.
What is 70mL/cc?
This drug is administered to act in phase 0 of the cardiac cycle as an anti-dysrhythmic.
What is lidocaine? (lidocaine slows the rise of the cardiac action potential during phase 0, thereby increasing the effective threshold potential)
Maintain adequate preload, keep a fast normal heart rate, and maintain decreased to normal SVR are the three goals for this valvular condition?
What is aortic regurgitation/insufficiency?
The hemodynamic goals in a patient with AI include maintaining an elevated heart rate, adequate preload and contractility, and decreased afterload. Bradycardia must be avoided
An excess of K+ ion presence causes this disturbance in the cardiac rhythm.
What are/is peaked T-waves?
1/3 (SBP) + 2/3 (DBP) equals this.
What is MAP?
One of three vessel branches arising directly from the aorta.
What is left common carotid, left subclavian, or innominate artery?
A muscle relaxant often used with fentanyl for induction of a patient with aortic stenosis.
What is rocuronium, norcuron, or nimbex?
A valvular condition with an early diastolic murmur in which Nipride (sodium nitroprusside) would be MOST beneficial to increase cardiac output.
What is aortic regurgitation?
An inferior wall MI would be seen in these leads.
What are leads II, III, aVF?
The formula for cardiac index.
What is CO/BSA?
In a normal patient, about 15%.
What percent of the normal cardiac output goes to cerebral blood flow?
A short acting drug used for hypertension that is considered cardio-selective.
What is esmolol?
A valvular condition in which a murmur with a "snap" on the initial phase of diastole can be heard.
What is mitral stenosis?
The p-waves represents this electrophysiologic phenomenon on the EKG.
What is depolarization?
The formula for ejection fraction.
What is SV/EDV x 100%?
The neurologic status of a transplanted heart and a rationale for using chemical/pharmacologic drugs during a heart transplant.
What is denervation? (Also the transplanted heart has a loss of direct sympathetic input via the stellate ganglion and parasympathetic input via the vagus nerve.)
