Dr. Seva's NYCC Visceral Pathology 1st Exam Clinical Features
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are risk factors for cardiac hypertrophy? | HTN and stenosis of valves |
What condition gives dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis? | Left ventricular failure. |
If left atrial pressure and pulmonary venous pressure are increased, the lung is congested and HLM's are present what happened? | Left ventricular failure. |
What happened if right atrial pressure and systemic venous pressure are increased? | Right ventricular failure. |
What gives clinical features of neck vein distention, elevated JVP, hepatomegaly & tender liver, spleenomegaly, hepato-abdomino-jugular reflex, ascities, peripheral pitting edema? | Right ventricular failure. |
What pathology gives clinical features of fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, palpitation d/t arrhythmia, repeated LRI in childhood, pansystolic murmur? | VSD |
Clinical features present: fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, palpitation d/t arrhythmia, repeated LRI in childhood, PHTN, Rt. ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, paradoxical emboli, bacterial endocarditis, ejection systolic murmur. | ASD |
Clinical features present: premature infant, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure, decreased CO, PHTN, continuous machinery murmur. | PDA |
Clinical features present: HTN in upper limb (dizziness, HAs and nosebleeds), hypotension in lower limb (weakness, pallor and claudication), radiofemoral delay, vascular bruit. | Coarctation of the Aorta |
Clinical features present: Angina, syncope, left heart failure, soft S2. | Aortic stenosis (type depends on age of patient: 40-50 is congenital, 60-70 is senile, if associated w/ mitral valve stenosis is rheumatic) |
Clincal features present: angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, chronic congestive heart failure, sudden death. | Ischemic heart syndrome |
