Aortic Stenosis symptoms

Thanks Jamie Moore:

"My patient HAS Aortic Stenosis" The HAS also stands for the 3 classic symptoms that we should recognize: Heart Failure(sometimes presenting simply as dyspnea), Angina, and Syncope.

Thromboxan A2

Tightens the vessels like the chords around a Boxan ring. It is a platlet Activator 2.

Protein C

Protein C (activated by Thrombomodulin) makes Va and VIIIa Cease to funciton.

prostacyclin

keeps the blood cyclin
This is an endothilial secretion that inhibits platelet aggregation through increasing cAMP.
It also keeps blood cyclin through vasodilatation.

ST elevation v non-ST Eleveatoin

in ST elevation the vessel is Shut Totally
in non ST elevation MI the vessel is Not Shut Totally.

Wenckebach

When-ke-Back up the P wave a little more each time until you drop a beat. Mobitz 1

Mobitz 2 may have 2p waves for every qrs.

Anterior v Posterior Hemiblock

That girl has a R.A.D. Posterior .

Roth spots

Roth spots are Red Rings on the Retina. A result of infective endocarditis.

Libman-Sacks Endocarditis

Might(mitral) be better to call it Sacks-Libman Endocarditis as it is associated with of SLE.
Unlike Marantic it is non embolic.

Malignancies lead to Marantic that Marches to other parts of the body through eMbolism.

Leplace

What can cause Tension? (T)
Pressing(P) on rebar(R) for over(/) two(2) hours(H).

T=Pr/2h

P=Pressure
r=radius
h=thickness

Titan

Sorry this is a boring one.

The Cardiac form is less stretchy so so they could only give it three random symbols but the skeletal form is more stretchy so it got four.

Cardiac titan- N2B
Skeletal- N2BA

Cardiac muscle works in a smaller ranges of lengths and has a tighter length tension curve.

Phases of ventricular APS

0- in the direction of 0mv
1- the top is #1
2- is Plateau (pla-two)
3- free fall (threefall)
4- is the floor

If it is a pacemaker cell or a cell getting digoxin. The floor is like the floor of my old appartment.

Reynold's Number

Reynold hit Nick on the head with at DVD.

Re= dvD/n


Re= Reynolds number
D= diameter
v= velocity
n= viscosity

Nick could not get out of the way in time because he is viscous.

Resistance

R= ΔP/F
ΔP= MAP-RAP

I am resistant(R) to looking over your MAP of Colorado(CO).
R=MAP/CO (this is ignoring RAP so only applies to systemic and not pulmonary)

Poiseville

Nick(n) was late(l*8) so he did not(/) get our four(r^4) Pies(π).

R= nl8 / r^4π

R=resistance
n=viscosity
l=length
r=radius

Why was nick late?

Because he is viscous.
