Chewable aspirin before investigation, will not kill pt. & will benefit + O2. Relief pain: morphine & antiemetic. & start tridine infusion to relief pain, vasodilation. antithrombolytic therapy if no contraindication. *review the contraindication from textbook*
After stabilized: Before discharge: 1- Echocardiogram for: (why do we do echo?) * Valvular heart disease. * Ejection fraction abnormality < 50 low. It should be around 50 normal. * Wall motion abnormality hypokinesia: Heart not contract at site of infarction, generalized in cardiomyopathy. 2- (Before not nowadays) submaximal stress ECG. This is to do exercise for 10 minute= submaximal (maximal test is 30 minutes) to see if complications develop: 1- arrhythmia 2-hypotension This was done before to decide if argent angiogram will done or delayed 4-5 weeks. But now all patients i.e. MI. should have angiogram angioplasty dilation or bypass surgery…. The earlier, the better the prognosis.

Heart Failure (HF) Dr. Nabeel
Eight Causes are preferable to be Heard by any Students when Dr. Nabeel Al-a3ma asks about the causes of HF? 1- Ischemic Heart disease (IHD) which is the commonest. 2- HTN or Hypertensive Heart disease with end Organ damage. 3- Valvular Heart disease…and the commonest cause is Rheumatic heart disease. 4- Cardiomyopathy. 5- Congenital heart disease. 6- Core-pulmonale. 7- Constrictive pericarditis. 8- Heart failure with high cardiac Output... Like in Thyrotoxicosis, anemia….
Also He loves to ask this Question: Patient is known having HF... What are the causes that push him to a failure and to the ER… i.e.: what are the precipitating factors for HF? 1- Infection (pneumonia). 2- P.embolism esp. if he's bedridden. 3- Ongoing Ischemic heart disease…MI. 4- No compliance with medications. 5- Arrhythmia. 6- Taking NSAID. Which cause salt and water retention. 7- Taking ca channel blocker…Negative inotropic agent. 8- High salt intake. 9- Uncontrolled HTN. 10- Hyperdynamic circulation.. Like in anemia... Thyrotoxicosis.

IHD. Hyperdynamic circulation anemia, Thyrotoxicosis. Valvular heart disease. HTN. Arrhythmias. Increased salt intake. No com liance to dru s.
History in ER: No History suggestive of IHD. Known case of HF. No History of palpitation. Pt was compliant to his medications. No change in diet. That is important to mention in History,
Examination: Same of MI. Look for evidence of – heart failure - arrhythmia - infection -underlying cause.
Investigation: like MI

Management: On admission: 1- Start loop diuretic fursemide 40 mg TID. 2- Start spironolactone 25 mg take 3 days to work in HF, nephrotic $, liver failure low kidney perfusion activate renineangiotensin system. Spironolactone will block it so no Na/H2O retention & not used as K sparing. + 4 drugs: (1) Aspirin. (2) B-blocker. (3) ACEI. (4) Statin. Note: moderate/sever HF do not give B-blocker. If echo show ejection fraction below 25% you have to give anticoagulant.

Treatment - Bed rest - High dose aspirin. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen has also been studied. It is effective and may be easier to use than aspirin.
- Penicillin then long term to patient with persistent cardiac damage - Heart failure may require digitalis - Haloperidol may be helpful in controlling chorea.

Management of AF: 1- Treat the cause. 2- How to Control Ventricular rate ( VR)? 3- How to convert to sinus rhythm? 4- How to maintain sinus rhythm? 5- When and How to use anticoagulant and antiplatlets?
Types of AF: 1- Isolated one “single". 2- Paroxysmal don't give digoxin. 3- Sustained one chronic.
So the Management: If the Patient is not stable Do DC cardioversion. If stable follow that previously mentioned points. So, 1- Treat the cause.

2- Control Ventricular rate By A-V node blocking Drugs:
A- Digoxin: - Loading dose: 0.25 - 0.5 mg/30mints IV. - Maintenance: 0.125 - 0.25 mg/6h. - Contraindication of Digoxin: 1- HOCM. 2- WPW so in here use procainamide. 3- Narrow QRS atrial tachycardia. - Digoxin dose: in Normal Patient: 0.25 mg, and in renal disease: 0.06 0.125 mg. B- B-Blocker: Usually given with Ca channel blocker because more rapid control. But digoxin is more preferable in the setting of LVF or HF. So, propranolol 0.5 mg IV followed by IV bolus 1 mg every 5 mints till …??? The contraindication of B-blocker is: Asthma, Dm and HF. C- Ca Channel blocker: Verampil 5 – 10 mg bolus / 10 mints. If you want to give verampil + digoxin decrease digoxin dose.

Convert to Sinus Rhythm:
Indicated when VR is more than 140 B/m. The drugs used in here: - Class 1a: Quinidine - procainamide. - Class 1c: Flecainide - propafenone - Class 3: Amiodarone
So the preparation: 1- Start Quinidine at least 24 h before to help maintain NSR once it's achieved. 2- Hold Digoxin and check its serum level. 3- Anticoagulant 3 weeks before and after if there's thrombus shown in echo. Indications for anticoagulation: Clinically and ECG: Clinically: 1- Previous MI or Stroke. 2- HTM +/- Dm. 3- Previous MI. 4- Thyrotoxicosis in here, decrease the Warfarin dose because of increased clearance of vitamin K in Hyperthyroidism.

EchoCardioGraphically: 1- Large Left atrium or Left atrium dysfunction. 2- Large Left Ventricle. 3- Left Ventricle aneurysm. 4- Intracardiac Thrombus.
Risk of Systemic Embolization with AF is divided to: - High: when Mitral valve disease seen: previous Mi or stroke. - Intermediate: age more than 65 or RF. - Low risk: age less than 65.
Complications of cardioversion: 1- Ventricular fibrillation. 2- Thromboembolism. 3- MI damage due to the Current. 4- Erythema on the chest wall.

When a patient presents with hepatic symptoms, 1 st search for acute causes of illness then ask about chronic.
ETIOLOGY:
(1)
infection:
- hepatitis B sexually C blood transfusion / vertical from mother to child - Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) - Hydatid cyst by compression, not hepatocellular. - TB most common in KSA. - HIV usually acute, but chronic if patient lives long enough.
REMEMBER! These infections are causes of acute, not chronic liver disease: -

Hepatic Encephalopathy:
50 years old lady admitted through ER, who is known case of CLD secondary to HCV. C/O: altered level of conciseness (complaint & HPI)
Hepatic encephalopathy How do you manage? (1) Take History of what ppt. of a patient to have an encephalopathy:
History of precipitating factor: - Infection: SBP: spontaneous bacterial peritonitis Sore throat, respiratory, UTI, leg ulcer…etc. - Constipation. - Hemorrhage (bleeding): Upper/Lower GI bleeding globulin high urea. - High protein diet high urea. - Drugs: analgesics, sedatives & tranquilizers. - Causes of electrolytes imbalance: Overuse of diuretics. Gastroenteritis vomiting & diarrhea. - Dehydration: vomiting, diarrhea, burn. - Excess alcohol. - Heart failure. - Hepatoma (hcc).
(2) Examination of pt who already has CLD & came with hepatic encephalopathy:
1- Glasgow coma scale (1st) consciousness. 2- Vital signs: -Temp infection. -Blood Pressure look for postural hypotension (Ascites). -Pulse tachycardia due to infection or loss of fluid. MKSfor um .net

Treatment of chronic hepatitis: A. Interferon (INF ) : But not in Saudi patients since they fulfill the criteria for ttt with INF. 1. It's effective in treatment if the infection is recent (not more than 2 years), but most Saudi patients have established the infection since childhood (more than 30 years). 2. INF is effective only if the liver enzymes are elevated twice the normal, which does not apply to Saudi patients. (They have high liver enzymes but not as twice). 3. Most of the viruses here in Saudi Arabia are pre-coremutant viruses which are resistant to INF so, once you stop the ttt viremia it will rise again. 4. It should not be given to a patient with an autoimmune disease such as SLE, RA. 5. Also it should not be prescribed to patients with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia (CBC). Fibrosis Moderate to severe necroinflammation

How to diagnose HCV? 1. ELISA : detect HCV Abs Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3 - If ELISA is (positive) that means the patient has the Abs has the infection for at least 6 months. - If liver enzymes > 1000 it means the infection is acute. - Incubation period for HCV ( 30 – 90 days ) - After 1 month the patient starts to have an increase in liver enzymes either clinical Or subclinical 2. PCR (positive): only after 2 weeks of the infection. 3. RIBA: Recombinant Immuno Blotting Assay = detects Abs earlier than ELISA.
Q: PCR (+) increase in liver enzymes, what is to be done? We cannot start the treatment for any patient with HCV unless: 1. Decompensate CLD e.g. reaching the stage of Ascites – varices 2. Alpha IF or Rebavirine is contraindicated for a reason or the other.

Jaundice Hematemesis Asterixis Lower limb edema Epistaxis Bleeding gum Abdominal pain & distention
α-IF ( S.C ) + Ribavirine ( tablets ) = ttt of HCV + CLD
Could be used with any patient with compensated CLD and has no contraindication to medication. Decompensation (Ascites - Encephalopathy- varices)
Investigations: 1. Baseline CBC because α -IF cause leukopenia ( neutropenia ) Thrombocytopenia - So we need to know his baseline. - If the patient is already leukopenic, he is not a good candidate for α-IF. 2. Left synthetic function ( PT – PTT – Albumin ) Excretory function (bilirubin)
α-IF should not be given to any autoimmune pt. e.g. SLE , RA.
Because it will worse the condition. α-IF can cause thyroid dysfunction hypo ( common ) & hyperthyroidism & this S/E is the only S/E of a-IF which is not reversible. That's why we need to do TFT ( T3 – TSH ).

Rebavirine should not be given to a pregnant patient can't control her because it is teratogenic. Rebavirine could cause hemolysis so it shouldn’t ever be given to patient with hemolytic anemia. Rebavirine until now doesn’t have an exact defined dose. So, a follow-up is need. Rebavirine could cause impaired renal function. So, a baseline should be done on RFT. 1st time the HCV was discovered was in 1989 α-IF for 6 months response 6 % After 1994 extended monotherapy for 1y 15 % In 1998 α-IF + Rebavirin response 41 %

SLE patient takes an anti-Malarial drug like HydroxyChloroQuine? The function of this medication is to suppress the high level of ANA and RF. Side effect: Increased skin pigmentation and deposit in retina and all these seen only in high dose. A patient came to Dr. Fat'h Al-deen, with symptoms similar to RA (joint pain), she was diagnosed in Harvard as RA because she has High ANA and High sky RF. So the doctor said “I don't trust Harvard University... I only trust in my knowledge and trust excellent doctors" & told his patient that she doesn't have RA & gave her anti-Malaria drug (hyrdoxyChloroQunine) because it suppresses for High ANA and RF which then the symptoms subsides. Then she was diagnosed to have parvovirus infection which causes symptoms similar to RA & SLE.
How to differentiate that psychosis in SLE pt, whether it's a side effect of cortisone or due to SLE it self? By test of Anti-Ribosomal B Abs If positive so it is due to SLE.
So in both situations we've to decrease steroid because of psychosis that's worsening.

50/50 fixed test for Lupus Anticoagulant: Antiphospholipid pt. has prolonged PTT. So, we take patient serum (50%) & mix it with serum from a normal person (50%). If the result was corrected (PTT not prolonged), then the cause of prolongation is a deficit in the blood itself (factor deficiency), not APLS. Because the defected blood earned factors from the healthy blood. If Prolongation of PTT is still the same not corrected Ag/Abs reaction (autoimmune). *In summary: PTT: -If corrected factor deficiency. -If not corrected Ag/Abs.

If there is midline shift give manitol to decrease ICP If no midline shift then decrease BP very slow, not below 180/100 because it will causes decreased perfusion Dextamethasone: would not work Observe the patient: either: 1- Hemorrhage resolves on its own & patient improves 2- Bore hole & remove the hemorrhage if it is MASSIVE but usually not needed (2) If the cause of hemorrhagic stroke not known: then it is AV malformation / ruptured berry aneurysm - call neurosurgeon to clip the aneurysm because it will re-bleed in 10 days - Angiogram to be available before calling neurosurgeon to confirm which artery
[2] Infarction type: Treat according to the cause: - In arrhythmias, VHD, AF anticoagulation - If not any of these just put patient on aspirin & plavix (Usually patient is DM, HTN, hyperlipidemia, smoker treat the comorbiditiy) in hemorrhagic stroke : high mortality, but if survives less morbidity than ischemic in ischemic stroke: less mortality but high morbidity compared to hemorrhagic stroke

- Dehydration due to any reason: (fever, diarrhea) - Polycythemia - SCA (sickling crisis)
2- Abnormal constituents - Thrombophilia: is the deficiency of protein C & S, antithrombin III, factor V (recurrent & positive FH) - Nephrotic Syndrome loss of antithrombin III - CLD (chronic liver disease) prot. C & S, Anti-Thrombin III deficiency Never say "nephrotic syndrome & CLD are causes of DVT" but "they are causes of protein "
- Polycythemia - SCA - Hypercoagulopathy - OCP = oral contraceptive pills - Antiphospholipid antibodies in APLS (in females ask about recurrent abortion) - Any malignancies: (prostatic, pancreatic, lymphomatic , leukemic ) The most common malignancies causing hypercoagulable state are: - Prostate carcinoma - Lung carcinoma - Pancreas carcinoma
