Hypotension, muffled heart tones, elevated JVP

Characterized by dilation and impaired contraction of 1 or both ventricles

Medication classes that are first line treatment for hypertension

Painless erythematous macules on palms and soles

Imaging modality that allows for assessment of cardiac function, valves, wall motion and volume status

Aspirin and colchicine

A peptide released by the ventricles in response to stretch

Lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 25% over 24-48 hours using oral agents

Vancomycin, gentamicin and rifampin

Invasive imaging done under fluoroscopy that is both diagnostic and therapeutic

Scarring and loss of elasticity of the pericardial sac

Medication class that is the mainstay of acute decompensated heart failure

Blood pressure ≥180/≥120 and evidence of end organ damage

Median survival time for a patient with aortic stenosis who develops heart failure

More sensitive than a transthoracic echo at evaluating left atrial appendage thrombus

Electrical alternans and sinus tachycardia

Two of the medication classes in heart failure that have been proven to reduce mortality

First line antihypertensive in diabetics without kidney disease

Valve durability of 15 years

Evaluates heart function and assess perfusion using radioactive tracers

Associated with pulsus paradoxus and reflects impaired filling of the heart

At risk for sudden cardiac death

Depends on comorbidities

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction

Agitated saline is injected into a peripheral vein
