Q87: Respiratory failure due to acute decompensated heart failure, and we add more pressure as management with a noninvasive positive pressure ventilation? why not to use Dobutamine? unless that, the efforts here are really clear and really appreciated 🤗 Thank you so much

[@WhyNot-si4pj]

1:04:05 Q 116 Persistent fetal circulation - OR persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) - results in a low pulse ox in BOTH upper & lower limbs as the pulmonary perfusion is reduced & the oxygen tension in the systemic arterial circulation will subsequently be reduced . Anatomically wise ; DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS (DA) connects the PULMONARY TRUNK to the ARCH OF AORTA distal to the origins of the CAROTID & SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES of the right side , so in case of pulmonary hypertension the flow of venous blood through the ductus arteriosus (DA) will technically deliver low oxygen tension blood to the lower half of the body . Persistent fetal circulation might also involve a PATENT FORAMEN OVALE with a subsequent right to left shift & a low pulse ox in BOTH upper & lower limbs .

[@ralaxingmusic6556]

Noticed one thing at 1-32-13 : left sided murmur gets louder with expiration, right sided -with inspiration Thank you for your great work!

[@AJmonics]

Hey! Not sure what you are referring to.. didn't I say that in the video?

[@ralaxingmusic6556]

Question 119 you are saying left sided murmurs louder with expiration and right with inspiration, but picture shows opposite time is 1-05-51

[@marie.s9995]

Thank you! Great review!🎉

[@AJmonics]

So happy to hear I helped Marie!

[@faaj414]

Thank you for your excellent videos. In slide 119 I think right side and left side would be changed. Expiration makes left side murmurs louder.

[@AJmonics]

Yes, I should have added that to my correction video. Thank you!

[@ennavas6726]

Wonderful work! Please, please keep going and complete all systems review ASAP 😅

Definitely Xfactor! I planned on doing that. People seem to like these complete reviews

[@zazu1212s]

Hello AJmonics I have one question from your video! For Cardiac Tamponade why is the LV preload decreased but then PCWP is increased? I thought PCWP is the same thing is L sided preload. Thank you so much and thank you for everything you do- this is the best Cardio review I have seen!!!

[@AJmonics]

I just JUST JUST made a video on this two days ago!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWokIuBdtqIjck Please watch it!!! I don't take such pride in my videos, but I worked pretty hard on this one to explain these factors CLEARLY. The basic idea is: imagine ENTIRELY squeezing your pet mouse - now he can't drink or pee because everything is squished up. Same thing is true with tamponade. EVERYTHING is squished up.

[@AJmonics]

PCWP is increased because that measures PRESSURE. PRESSURE is increased. Since pressure is increased, VOLUME is decreased. That's what LV preload is - VOLUME. Please let me know if this makes sense to you.

[@zazu1212s]

hey Aj, you have fabulous content, butQ166 talks about AAA and the picture shows thoracic aorta dissection, I know you know that already, but just in case. and yes, I can't thank you enough for your work i am absolutely a fan

[@AngryAmygdala]

I’m curious, for Q105, couldn’t it be a Turner Syndrome pt that developed aortic stenosis as a result of congenital bicuspid aortic valve? Or does her age rule that out?

[@AJmonics]

You are making an amazing point - I didn't think that was as common though.. need to look into this

[@kaffu-v3e]

the murmur of aortic stenosis is heard along the 2nd intcs at right sternal border

Thanks a dozen for the wonderful review . In Q 89, Is there an explanation why restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by amyloidosis was ruled out as a cause of right sided heart failure?

[@AJmonics]

You are actually totally a hundred percent correct! Restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by amyloid would have a similar presentation!! I meant to add "pericardial calcifications" to the question - which is seen in constrictive pericarditis, but not in restrictive cardiomyopathy. (I hope viewers see this post, to avoid the confusion!) Thank you May!!!

[@hadeelkhader2140]

Love your videos, AJ

[@AJmonics]

I am so sorry for not responding!!!!!!!!! Thank you for watching. What gave it away was the location - for aortic stenosis they'd say it was in the aortic area, not the left sternal border See image: step1.medbullets.com/cardiovascular/108013/heart-murmurs

Q3 @3:39 - answers correct but, threshold for abnormal troponin T should be like 0.01ng/mL no? I’m just an M2 idk 😅

q121 would it be valid to rule out a MI based on troponins if only 1 hour has passed? (since it elevates 4hrs later)

I think so - but remember that you have to go over lots of practice questions too - because they ask questions is such sneaky ways.

[@ahmedesmat2199]

Q49 why not carotid massage in AF and hemodynamiclly stable pt ?

[@AJmonics]

Carotid massage can induce afib. Better for stimulating the vagus nervous for parasympathetics, not rate control. (Sorry for delay in my response, I have been very busy and traveling)

[@amalmaxamed1461]

Thanks bro your effort but why the options become only two

[@AJmonics]

Because when students do questions, they always are stuck on two choices, all the others are silly answers. So I make it easier for you.

Q67 is confusing! When pt is hemodynamically unstable, sonography is the option. CT abdomen/pelvis is when pt is stable. You said slight improvement in BP…doesn’t provide a lot to work with! Detail is important.
