and SCD across a wide range of patients with HFrEF.1-3 Patients at risk for renal dysfunction or
hyperkalemia require close monitoring, and eGFR ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m2 or serum potassium
≥5.0 mEq/L are contraindications to MRA initiation
African american specific stage C or D recommendations - correct answer +
hydralazine+isosorbide
infective endocarditis pathogens - correct answer staph aureus, strep pyogenes, s. pneumonia,
n. gonorrhea . S. aureus Is most common
valves most commonly affected in endocarditis - correct answer mitral valve and aortic valve.
Often due to prior damage
presentation infective endocarditis - correct answer fever, chills, poor appetite, wt loss,
murmurs!, embolic complications (neurological findings--szr, meningitis, arteritis, etc)
Roth spots (retinal spots taht are swollen, red and exudative)
petichiae and splenomegaly may be present, janeway/osler nodes
muscle pain, joint pain
, Janeway lesions - correct answer nontender hemorrhagic lesions - fingers, toes, nose, earlobes -
associated with endocarditis
osler nodes - correct answer painful erythematous nodules on the pads of the fingers and toes
diagnostics of infectious endocarditis - correct answer 3 sets of blood cultures from different
sites before anitbicrobial therapy started. Try to isolate the microorganizm.
CBC-- white cound normal, may be a left shift (leukocytosis)
CRP/ESR--may be elevated, NONSPECIFIC
continuous EKG
TTE to assess vegetations, heart function
TEE if TTE is nondiagnostics (this is also preferred if there is an artificial valve)
myocarditis presentation - correct answer usually infective or from toxins
Fever, atypical chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, transietn EKG changes, arrhythmia
left ventricular disfunction (dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal
dyspnea)
rt ventricular dysfunction: swelling, bloating, loss of appetite (due to bowel edema)
pleuritic chest pain if pericardium is involved.
Resting tachycardia worsening with exertion is expected.
May have 3rd or 4th heart sounds or murmur
pericardial friction rub
