    Study Notes

    Internal Disease Study Notes

    • Acute Heart Failure Sign: Fainting
    • Pericarditis Pain Relief: Sitting slightly forward reduces pain.
    • "Dance Karotid" Note: Aortic insufficiency.

    • Myocardial Infarction Pain Relief: Necrotic Analgesics
    • Heart Asthma Position: Horizontal position during sleep
    • Intermittent Claudication Cause: Damage to lower extremity arteries.
    • Edema Localization: Feet
    • Cyanosis in Cardiovascular System: Acrocyanosis
    • Mitral Facies: Stagnant hyperemia of the chest.
    • "Dance of Karotid" Cause: Pulsation of carotid artery due to high pulse pressure
    • Position for Pericarditis: Sitting and leaning forward

    • Right Border of Relative Cardiac Dullness location: 4th intercoastal space, 1-2cm outwards from right edge of sternum.
    • First Heart sound Location: 2nd and 3rd point
    • Loudness of First Heart Sound: determined by valve apparatus integrity,
    • Erg's Point: 3rd intercoastal space, left edge of sternum
