Question
Answer
irregular rhythm, no Ps, variable ventricular rate   A fib  
🗑
regular (or regularly irregular) rhythm, >300bpm   A flutter  
🗑
2 important results of AFFIRM   rate > rhythm & anticoagulation  
🗑
mitral stenosis   2 points  
🗑
CVA   2 points  
🗑
HTN   1 point  
🗑
DM   1 point  
🗑
age >75   1 point  
🗑
CHF   1 point  
🗑
LV systolic dysfunction   1 point  
🗑
CHADS2 0-1 treatment   ASA 325 mg/day  
🗑
CHADS2 2 treatment   favor ASA unless had CVA, then use warfarin  
🗑
CHADS2 3-6 treatment   warfarin unless contraindicated  
🗑
regular ventricular rhythm   PVST  
🗑
palpitations, dizziness, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, syncope   PVST sx  
🗑
vagal maneuvers, adensosine, verapamil/diltiazem, beta blockers, ablation   treatment for PVST  
🗑
disorder of impulse formation w/3 different P waves, >100bpm   MAT  
🗑
associated with MAT   COPD  
🗑
disorder of impulse formation w/3 different P waves, <100bpm   wandering atrial pacemaker  
🗑
self-sustaining electrical circuit that repeated depolarizes a region of cardiac tissue   reentry rhythm  
🗑
short PR and delta waves due to AV bypass tract   WPW  
🗑
palpitations, syncope, SCD   WPW sx  
🗑
not treated w/AV blocking agents   WPW  
🗑
treatment of choice for WPW   ablation  
🗑
drug of choice for WPW   procainamide  
🗑
premature contraction, no P wave, wide QRS complex w/compensatory pause and ST opposite QRS   PVC  
🗑
ventricular stimulus causes premature depolarization of cells that have not been completely repolarized   R on T phenomenon  
🗑
reentry rhythm due to structurally abnormal heart or triggered activity   VF/VT  
🗑
electrical wavefront travels thru zone of slow conduction (usually damaged muscle protected by scar), allowing the rest of the circuit time to repolarize. The wavefront breaks out of the scar, activates the ventricle, and reenters the slow conduction zone   reentry - structurally abnormal  
🗑
most commonly involved sites are the RV outflow tract, LV outflow tract, LV septum, and the aortic root   abnormal automaticity (triggered activity)  
🗑
CAD, severe electrolyte derangements (alcoholics), structurally abnormal heart (MI), brugada syndrome   commonly associated w/VF/VT  
🗑
kind of VT treated w/amiodarone and/or lidocaine   >30 s but stable  
🗑
kind of VT treated with defibrillation   unstable, pulseless  
🗑
type of VT w/polymorphic QRSs   torsades de pointes  
🗑
hypoK+, hyperMg++, malnourishment, some antipsychotics, tricyclic, erythromycin, long QT   can cause torsades de pointes  
🗑
IV Mg++ and K+, and stop offending drugs   treatment for stable torsades  
🗑
isoproteronol and/or cardiac pacing   treatment for acute torsades  
🗑
used to control a fib/flutter rate   verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin, metoprolol  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
