Question
Answer

🗑
What are some secondary causes of dilated cardiomyopathy   Drugs and toxins, Chemotherapy, Preganancy, Metabolic Disorders  
🗑
What are some metabolic Disorders associated with dilated cardiomyopathy   Hyperthyroid, Hypothyroidism, Thiamine deficiency  
🗑
how do people with dilated cardiomyopathy present   dyspnea and fatigue: pulmonary congestion, palpitations, S4 gallop, S3  
🗑
What is Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy   Left ventricular hypertrophy and often RV hypertrophy increases muscle mass resulting in a hypercontractile heart  
🗑
What are the two main types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies   Asymmetrical and Symmetrical  
🗑
Where does the thickening in asymmetrical cardiomyopathy occur most often   The basal portion of the ventricular septum  
🗑
How is symmetrical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy different from asymmetric   symmetric is concentric hypertrophy of both venricles with NO LV OUTFLOW OBSTRUCTION  
🗑
Sudden death is common in children and young men with familial forms of this cardiomyopathy   hypertrophic  
🗑
Where do you see endomyocardial fibrosis   in subtropical areas especially equatorial Aftica usually in children and young adults  
🗑
what are the cardiomyopathies classified as the cytoskeletalopathies   Dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, cariocutaneous syndromes  
🗑
what are the cardiomyopathies classified as sarcomyopathy   hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopahties  
🗑
what are the cardiomyopathies classified as the channelopathies   long and short QT syndromes, Brugada syndrome, Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT  
🗑
what is Myocarditis   inflammation of the myocardium in which the inflammatory process is not the primary cause of the myocardial injury  
🗑
what is primary myocarditis   when the myocardium is the principle target of the inflammatory process usually infectious  
🗑
what is secondary myocarditis   myocardial inflammation occurs as part of a systemic inflammatory process usually autoimmune or allergic  
🗑
what is the most common pathogenesis of myocarditis   infectious agens are most common (viral most common)  
🗑
what are some viruses that can cause myocarditis   enteroviruses Coxsackie A&B, polio, ECHO, Influenza, CMV, HIV

🗑
what is primary pericarditis   inflammation involving the pericardium alone (rare) most pericarditis is secondary  
🗑
what is the most common type of pericarditis   fibrinous (bread and butter appearance)  
🗑
When you see Caseous necrosis within the pericardial sac you should think ? until proven otherwise   Tuberculosis  
🗑
