Q: Indications for biventricular pacemakerdefibrillator placement include NYHA class
III or IV heart failure, a QRS width greater
than 120 msec, and an ejection fraction
less than or equal to this percent.

Cardiac Numbers - 200

In asymptomatic patients, repair is

indicated for abdominal aortic aneurysms

with this transverse diameter or larger, or
those demonstrating an expansion rate of
more than 0.5 cm/year.

Cardiac Numbers - 300

Thrombolytic therapy has not shown a

clear benefit for patients presenting more

than this many hours from symptom
onset.

Exercise stress testing is only diagnostic

at an adequate workload, defined as

achieving this percent of the maximum
predicted heart rate.

Dont Go Failing My Heart - 100

A set of major and minor findings used to

charaterize the clinical syndrome of heart

failure, named after a landmark
cardiologic study

Dont Go Failing My Heart - 200

While this class of medications has been

shown to decrease mortality in Class III

and IV heart failure patients, they were
shown in a recent study to improve
mortality even in patients with class I or II
NYHA heart failure

Grade 2 diastolic heart failure is often

referred to on echo reports as this

Dont Go Failing My Heart - 400

This electrocardiographic finding

automatically disqualifies a patient for

cardiac resynchronization therapy

Physical examination features of this

disease includes a mid- to late-peaking

systolic murmur, an S4, a single S2 and
delayed timing and decreased amplitude
in the carotid pulses (pulsus parvus et
tardus)

The echocardiographic appearance of the

cardiac sequelae of this "hot" disease is

one of commissural fusion, leaflet
thickening, calcification, and restricted
leaflet motion.

This procedure, used to establish

coronary perfusion and afterload

reduction, is contraindicated in patients
with aortic valve regurgitation

In discussion of this syndrome, which is a

constellation of nonspecific symptoms

including palpitations, atypical chest pain,
dyspnea, fatigue, orthostatic symptoms,
and neuropsychiatric complaints,
something usually clicks

Acute Coronary Syndromes - 100

This process, thought to be responsible

for most cases of in-stent restenosis, is

the target for the drugs eluted by drug
eluting stents

Acute Coronary Syndromes - 200

Sometimes mistaken for ischemic ST

elevation in the anteroseptal leads, this

syndrome is a relatively rare but significant
cause of sudden cardiac death,
particularly in males of Southeast Asian
descent

Acute Coronary Syndromes - 300

This constellation of findings includes

biphasic t waves in the anteroseptal leads

transitioning to inverted t waves in the
anterolateral leads and often denotes an
acute proximal LAD occlusion

Acute Coronary Syndromes - 400

A 67 year old male whose parents have no

cardiac history; with a personal history of

hypertension and current smoking who
takes no medications and presents with
severe intermittent crushing chest pain for
the last two days, no ST changes, and an
troponin of .6 has this TIMI risk score
