Trial
This trial studied effects of clopidogrel in addition to aspirin in patients with ACS without STEMI.
Cure trial
Regadenoson is an agonist for these specific receptors
- A2A receptor
This condition is often associated with Noonan's syndrome, Large 'a' wave in JVP, RV heave, Ejection click and murmur, soft and late P2
- Pulmonary Stenosis
Contraction and dilation of pupil
-Landolfi's sign
Cardio selective B1 receptor blocker with rapid onset and a very short duration of action and no significant intrinsic sympa-thomimetic activity -
Esmolol
This trial showed that addition of clopidogrel to aspirin, but not early use of metoprolol, improved overall outcomes in Acute Myocardial infarction.
Commit trial
This sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor binds to amyloid fibrils and can lead to potential toxicity even at normal drug levels in amyloid heart patients
- Digoxin
Indication for Pulmonary stenosis balloon valvulotomy
-Symptomatic
Mean gradient >30/Peak gradient > 50mmHg
Asymptomatic
Mean gradient >40/Peak gradient >60mm Hg, in association with less than moderate PR
Paradoxical rise in jugular venous pressure with inspiration
-Kussmal’s sign
Combination of ECMO and impella for cardiogenic shock
-ECpella
Ezetimibe added to Statin therapy after ACS improved cardiovascular outcomes
– IMPROVE-IT trial
The mechanism of action of Eptifibatide
- Glycoprotein IIb/Illa inhibitor
Most common cardiovascular condition during long term follow up of coarctation is
-Hypertension
Drop in Diastolic blood pressure >15mm Hg after raising arm above head
-Mayne's sign
Acc/AHA guideline recommends this LV systolic function for TEER in MR from LV dysfunction
-> 20%
In Primary PCI with multi vessel disease, index admission complete revascularization lowered rate of MACE at 12 months compared with treating only infarct related artery
CvLPRIT trial
Effect of amiodarone and Class Ic agents on defibrillation threshold
-Increase defibrillation threshold
Indication for phlebotomy in Cyanotic congenital heart disease is -
Hb > 20, Hct >65. Always replace fluid first
Pulsatile flushing of forehead
- Lighthouse sign
This is when aortic pressure exceeds LV pressure during LVAD support and the aortic valve remains closed
LV – aortic pressure uncoupling
Programming of ICD therapies for tachyarrhythmias of 200 bpm or with a prolonged delay in therapy at 170 bpm or higher, as compared with conventional programming associated with reductions inappropriate therapy and all-cause mortality through long-term follow-up
MADIT RIT Trial
Treatment of choice for Belhassen's VT
-Verapamil
Atrial switch procedures for surgical treatment of transposition
-Mustard and Senning
An auscultatory finding in aortic stenosis where the harsh, low‑frequency systolic murmur at the right upper sternal border becomes a high‑pitched, musical murmur at the apex, mimicking mitral regurgitation.
Gallavardin phenomenon
This the improved LV size and function in response to drug and device therapies for HFrEF
