Study Notes
Cardiac Pain
- Typical locations for cardiac pain to radiate: neck, jaw, left anterior chest (radiating laterally), upper or lower arms
- Unusual location for cardiac pain to radiate: none of the above
NYHA Functional Classification
- Number of classes: 4
- Class IV: symptoms present at rest
Chest Pain
- Condition characterized by chest pain that varies with the phase of respiration: musculoskeletal pain
- Most common cause of chest pain that persists after exercise: musculoskeletal pain
- Chest pain that is least likely to be associated with myocardial infarction: sharp, stabbing chest pain
Diagnostic Tests
- Test not typically used for evaluating stable angina: coronary angiography
- Test used to evaluate cardiac pain: resting ECG, exercise ECG, lipid profile
Acute Coronary Syndromes
- Symptom commonly associated with acute coronary syndromes: prolonged, severe chest pain
- Typical onset pattern of chest pain from myocardial infarction: sudden without preceding symptoms
Other Conditions
- Condition associated with a 'tearing' chest pain: aortic dissection
- Condition often presenting with cyanosis and clubbing: complex cyanotic congenital heart disease
- Presence of splinter hemorrhages suggests: infective endocarditis
- Tendon xanthomas are an indication of: familial hyperlipidaemia
- A 'frothy pink sputum' is a symptom most closely associated with: acute left heart failure
- Pain from pericarditis is described as: sharp and catching during inspiration
NYHA Functional Classification
- Class III: marked limitation of normal activities
- Class IV: symptoms present at rest
Cardiac Conditions
- Symptom of orthopnoea: chronic heart failure
- Crepitations in the lungs are most likely to be heard in: chronic heart failure
- Echocardiogram is not primarily used to diagnose: bronchospasm
- Cheyne–Stokes respiration is associated with: acute myocardial infarction
