What is meant my Pulsus Paradoxus ?
A one-stop pathophysiology thread you’d ever need 🧵

#MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #MedEd #FOAMed #CardioEd #USMLE #ICU #EMTwitter Image
To understand Pulsus Paradoxus in detail,

It is essential to realise for a fact that, 1. Pleural pressure, 2. Abdominal pressure, 3. Heart chamber pressures & 4. Lung pressures, are all interconnected, interact & react among each other.
As we inspire —> the diaphragm moves down, creating a more negative intra-pleural pressure & a more positive abdominal pressure —> this adds up to ⬆️ venous return to right atrium —> excess blood enters RV & ⬆️ right ventricular end diastolic pressure (RVED)

Management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) with Rapid Ventricular Response (RVR) - KEY POINTS

➡️ Patients with atrial fibrillation who are unstable due to an RVR should be treated with synchronized cardioversion.

2/

➡️ Medications commonly used to control heart rate in atrial fibrillation include :

👉Calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
👉Beta-adrenergic blockers
👉Digoxin
👉Amiodarone.

#cardioed #CardioTwitter
3/

➡️ Calcium Channel Blockers or Beta Blockers are the first-line medications for most patients with Afib with an RVR.

➡️ All AV node–blocking medications are contraindicated for rate control of Afib in the setting of WPW, where conduction occurs through the accessory pathway.

Joint British Society consensus recommendations for magnetic resonance imaging for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

1. Recommendations for MRI workflows in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

2. Workflow for provision of MRI to patients with MR Conditional cardiac implantable electronic devices.

3. Suggested additional steps required prior to performing MRI for patients with CIEDs that are MR Unlabelled or do not fulfil MR conditions.

4. Suggested consent statement for implanting cardiologists when potentially implanting an MR Unlabelled device, or revising/upgrading a device that may then become MR Unlabelled.

🧵 1/7 Ever wondered why the Osborn wave looks the way it does? Stay with me during my newest #tweetorial. A thread 🧵1/7
#cardiotwitter #EPeeps #CardioEd #MedTwitter @TRassafMD @YoungDgk @DGK_org @YoungDZHK @AaronGoodman33 @Steph_Achenbach @fuzzymittens @AvrahamCooperMD Image
2/7 History
First described in 1953 by Osborn (camel-hump sign) upon #hypothermia in dogs. Upon systemic analysis similar #ECG patterns have been described in
➡️ hypercalcemia
➡️ brain injury
➡️ SAB
➡️ vasospastic angina / ischemia
3/7 Emslie-Smith et al showed that Osborn waves manifested more in epicardial than endocardial leads. Others finally showed that 4-aminopyridine sensitive transient outward current (Ito) is responsible and predominantly located in epicardium. ⬇️ heart rate led to ⬆️ Ito current

El intervalo QT…¿cómo se valora? 😵‍💫

📚El QT va desde el inicio de la Q al final de la onda T y representa el conjunto de despolarizacion y repolarización miocárdica #CardioEd

One of the best examples I’ve seen of Kussmaul’s sign: inspiratory increase in JVP.

Why does this happen?

My first #tweetorial 🧵, a la @AvrahamCooperMD @tony_breu @AndreMansoor

#meded #cardioed #cardiotwitter @CooperCVFellows @CooperIMRes @BrighamMedRes @PennCVFellows

1/
2/ Normally, with inspiration, the negative intrathoracic pressure is transmitted to the heart chambers (❤️ is in the thorax, after all), which makes JVP decrease. Here is an example of normal: neck veins collapsing with inspiration, then filling again with expiration.
3/ Inspiration also causes increased RV filling, but it is easily accommodated by the RV. RA pressure doesn’t change much from the increased filling itself; more predominant is drop in thoracic pressure. Very satisfyingly seen with invasive CVP/RAP measurement, as shown.

Ecografía pulmonar 🫁. Guía fácil y práctica de como utilizarla. ABRO HILO
#POCUS #CardioEd #echofirst #ENARM #medicaleducation #ultrasound #MedEd #Cardiology Image
Es curioso porque clásicamente se decía que la ecografía pulmonar no era posible. Harrison afirmaba que " los ultrasonidos (US) se disipan rápidamente en el aire por lo que carecen de utilidad en la evaluación del parénquima pulmonar" ¿Qué ha cambiado? Image
Daniel Lichtenstein, un intensivista francés, redescubrió la ecografía pulmonar. Es cierto que los US no se transmiten bien por el aire, pero Lichtensein descubrió que pequeñas alteraciones en la relación aire-agua a nivel pulmonar formaban artefactos ecográficos característicos. Image

💠 Pearls in Syncope ECG Interpretation.

➡️ In the patient with syncope, the ECG should be scrutinized for signs of Ischemia, Bradydysrhythmias, Tachydysrhythmias, and Conduction delays.

➡️ Additional critical diagnoses to consider that can be detected with ECG:

👉Ventricular Preexcitation (WPW)
👉Brugada syndrome
👉Long or short QT syndromes
👉Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
👉Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
👉Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT
3/

➡️ Ventricular Preexcitation (WPW)

👉 PR segment < 120 ms
👉 QRS complex > 110 ms
👉 Slurred upstroke of the initial part of the R wave (delta wave)
➖ Type A: delta wave in all precordial leads, R > S in lead V1
➖ Type B: negative delta waves in leads V1 and V2

💠 Beyond Diuresis – Treatment Adjuncts in Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema.

➡️ Diuretics have traditionally been a mainstay of therapy for cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

manualofmedicine.com/topics/cardiol…

#meded #foamed #medtwitter #cardiotwitter #cardioed
2/

➡️ Diuretics may not be the preferred initial therapy for those patients with vascular failure, who are often euvolemic, or those with cardiogenic shock, who are often hypovolemic.
3/

➡️ In these patients, the emergency provider should first optimize preload and afterload reduction with the use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), nitrates, or inotropes as indicated.

1/24 This month’s #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial focuses on percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion.

Is #LAAO the exact solution for preventing stroke & embolism in #AF pts who can’t tolerate #OAC?
Or, a new problem while seeking a solution?

#CardioEd
2/24
🎯 The rationale of #LAAO
🔸 In non-valvular #AF patients, 90% of thrombus is located in the #LAA
🔸 These thrombi embolise to the 🧠 & cause #stroke
🎯 Don't miss the ‘#EHRA_ESC #EAPCI expert consensus document on catheter-based #LAAO –an update’ doi.org/10.1093/europa…

#LAA closure devices should be safe, efficent and easy to deploy.

📌 Currently available catheter-based devices for #LAAO have different principles.

A- Plug ➡️ Watchman
B- Pacifier ➡️ Amplatzer Amulet
C- Ligation ➡️ Lariat
