🫀 CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM — COMPLETE SUMMARY NOTES

(Ref: Merck Manual 20th Ed, Section 7)

TOPIC 1 — CARDIOVASCULAR TESTS & PROCEDURES

(Ch. 75)

⚡ ECG (Electrocardiography)

Records heart's electrical activity
P wave = atrial depolarization | QRS = ventricular depolarization | T wave = ventricular repolarization

ECG Finding	Think of...
ST elevation	STEMI / Pericarditis
ST depression	NSTEMI / Ischemia
PR depression	Pericarditis
Wide QRS	Bundle branch block
Electrical alternans	Cardiac Tamponade
Delta wave	WPW syndrome
Deep Q waves (lateral)	HCM (pseudo-infarct)

🔊 Echocardiography

Ultrasound of heart - shows structure + function
TTE (transthoracic) = standard bedside
TEE (transesophageal) = better image; used for valves, aorta, thrombus
Tells you: EF, wall motion, valve function, pericardial effusion

Normal EF = 55-70% | EF <40% = HFrEF

🔬 Cardiac Catheterization

Catheter inserted via femoral/radial artery → guided to heart
Left heart cath = coronary angiography (finds blockages)
Right heart cath (Swan-Ganz) = measures pulmonary pressures, cardiac output
Used pre-CABG, valve disease workup, chest pain evaluation

🏃 Stress Testing

Heart stressed via treadmill exercise or pharmacologic (dobutamine / adenosine)
Positive test = ST depression ≥1mm during exercise → ischemia
Nuclear stress test = adds perfusion imaging (better sensitivity)

💉 PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)

Balloon angioplasty + stent in blocked coronary artery
First-line for STEMI ("primary PCI within 90 min")

🔪 CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting)

Surgical bypass using saphenous vein or internal mammary artery
For: multi-vessel disease, left main stenosis, failed PCI, diabetics

☢️ Radionuclide Imaging

Radioactive tracer (Tc-99m or Thallium) shows myocardial perfusion
Cold spot on stress only = reversible ischemia
Cold spot at rest + stress = fixed infarct (scar)

🔄 Tilt Table Test

Patient tilted 60-80° upright; BP and HR monitored
Used for: unexplained recurrent syncope (reproduces vasovagal episodes)

TOPIC 2 — ARTERIOSCLEROSIS

(Ch. 77)

Arteriosclerosis = umbrella term for "hardening of arteries"

Four Types:

Type	Vessel	Key Feature
Atherosclerosis	Large/medium arteries	Plaque (lipid core + fibrous cap)
Arteriolosclerosis	Arterioles	Hyaline or hyperplastic thickening; linked to HTN/DM
Mönckeberg's Sclerosis	Medium muscular arteries	Calcification in media; lumen NOT affected
Fibromuscular Hyperplasia	Medium arteries	Intimal SMC proliferation; post-injury or stents

Atherosclerosis — Pathogenesis

Endothelial injury → inflammation → plaque → rupture → thrombosis

Endothelial injury (HTN, smoking, DM, high LDL)
LDL enters intima → gets oxidized
Monocytes → macrophages → engulf ox-LDL → foam cells
Foam cells accumulate → fatty streak (earliest lesion; reversible)
SMCs migrate from media → fibrous cap forms
Atheromatous plaque = lipid core + fibrous cap
Plaque rupture → thrombus → MI / stroke / sudden death

Atherosclerosis plaque showing fibrous cap over necrotic lipid core

A = vascular response to injury (SMC recruitment) | B = atheromatous plaque anatomy

Risk factors:

Modifiable: HTN, smoking, dyslipidemia, DM, obesity, sedentary lifestyle
Non-modifiable: Age, male sex, family history

Complications:

Stenosis → Stable angina
Plaque rupture → ACS (UA / NSTEMI / STEMI)
Carotid plaque → Stroke
Weakened media → Aneurysm

Mönckeberg's Sclerosis (Non-Atheromatous)

Calcification of tunica media of muscular arteries
Lumen NOT affected → usually clinically silent
Seen in diabetics, >50 yrs
X-ray: "pipe-stem" arteries | Mammogram: "railroad track" calcification

Mönckeberg sclerosis histology - calcified media with intact lumen

TOPIC 3 — ENDOCARDITIS, MYOCARDITIS & PERICARDIAL DISEASES

(Ch. 82 & 86)

🦠 Infective Endocarditis (IE)

Common organisms:

Organism	Context
Strep viridans	Dental procedures, Sub-acute IE
Staph aureus	IV drug users, prosthetic valves, Acute IE
Enterococcus	GI/GU procedures
Strep bovis	Colon cancer (screen the gut!)
HACEK organisms	Culture-negative IE

Clinical features:

Fever + new regurgitation murmur
Osler's nodes = painful nodules on fingers/toes
Janeway lesions = painless macules on palms/soles
Roth spots = retinal hemorrhages with pale center
Splinter hemorrhages under nails
Splenomegaly, embolic events (stroke, renal infarcts)

📌 Memory: "From Jane's Roth Spot, Osler Splints"

Diagnosis: Blood cultures ×3 + Echocardiography (TEE preferred) Treatment: IV antibiotics 4-6 weeks; surgery if valve destruction or refractory

🚫 Non-Infective Endocarditis

Type	Feature	Association
Libman-Sacks	Sterile vegetations on both sides of mitral valve	SLE
NBTE (Marantic)	Small thrombus on valve leaflets	Malignancy, chronic illness
Rheumatic	Aschoff bodies; later mitral stenosis	Group A Strep pharyngitis

❤️‍🔥 Myocarditis

Inflammation of the myocardium
Causes: Viral (Coxsackievirus B = most common in USA), autoimmune, drugs (doxorubicin), Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi)
Features: Chest pain, fever, dyspnea, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death
Diagnosis: Echo (wall motion abnormalities), cardiac MRI (gold standard), biopsy (Dallas criteria)
Risk: Can evolve into dilated cardiomyopathy

ECG in Myocarditis/Perimyocarditis:

ECG showing myocarditis with diffuse ST elevation across multiple leads

Diffuse ST elevation + tachycardia — seen in perimyocarditis

🫀 Pericardial Diseases

Acute Pericarditis

Causes: Viral (most common), TB, post-MI (Dressler's), uremia, autoimmune
Pain: Sharp, pleuritic — worse lying flat, better leaning forward
Friction rub on auscultation (scratchy sound)

ECG — 4 Stages:

Stage	ECG change
1	Diffuse concave (saddle-shaped) ST elevation + PR depression
2	ST returns to baseline
3	T-wave inversion
4	Normalization

🔑 Pericarditis vs STEMI: Pericarditis = diffuse + concave ST | STEMI = localized + convex ST

Treatment: NSAIDs + colchicine (first-line); steroids only if refractory

Pericardial Effusion

Fluid in pericardial sac (normally <50 mL)
Slowly accumulating → can reach 2L (pericardium stretches)
Rapidly accumulating → tamponade with even 200-300 mL

Cardiac Tamponade

Fluid compresses heart → obstructive shock
Beck's Triad: Hypotension + Muffled heart sounds + JVD
ECG: Electrical alternans (QRS height alternates beat to beat)
Treatment: Pericardiocentesis (emergency needle drainage)

Constrictive Pericarditis

Fibrous scarring → rigid shell around heart → diastolic restriction
Causes: TB (most common globally), radiation, post-cardiac surgery
Features: JVD, Kussmaul's sign (JVP increases on inspiration), ascites, edema
Treatment: Pericardiectomy (surgical stripping)

TOPIC 4 — CARDIOMYOPATHY

(Ch. 79)

Three types of cardiomyopathy compared to normal heart

Dilated = big floppy | Hypertrophic = thick septum | Restrictive = stiff but normal size

Comparison Table:

Feature	Dilated	Hypertrophic	Restrictive
Problem	Systolic (can't squeeze)	Diastolic (can't relax)	Diastolic (can't fill)
Wall thickness	Thin	Thick (asymmetric septum)	Normal or mildly thick
Chamber size	All 4 dilated	Normal/reduced LV cavity	Normal
EF	↓	Normal or ↑	Normal
Most common cause	Alcohol / viral / genetic	Autosomal dominant (sarcomere mutation)	Amyloid / sarcoid
Classic patient	Middle-aged alcoholic	Young athlete with syncope	Elderly with HF + low voltage ECG

1. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) — Most Common (90%)

All 4 chambers dilate → thin walls → systolic dysfunction
Causes (ABC):
- Alcohol (most common toxin)
- Babies (peripartum cardiomyopathy)
- Coxsackie (post-myocarditis)
- Drugs (doxorubicin, cocaine)
- Encoded (genetic - titin mutations; AD in 50% of familial cases)
Signs: S3 gallop, pulmonary edema, mitral/tricuspid regurgitation (annular dilation)
Treatment: ACEi + beta-blocker + diuretics + ICD if EF <35%; heart transplant

2. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

Asymmetric septal hypertrophy → LVOTO (outflow obstruction)
Genetics: Autosomal dominant; beta-myosin heavy chain mutation (most common)
Classic: Young athlete + syncope on exertion / sudden cardiac death

Murmur trick:

Increases with: Valsalva / standing (↓ preload → worse obstruction)
Decreases with: Squatting / leg raise (↑ preload → less obstruction)
(Opposite of most murmurs!)

ECG: LVH + deep narrow Q waves (lateral leads) — looks like MI but isn't

Treatment: Beta-blockers / verapamil; avoid nitrates + digoxin; ICD for high-risk; septal myomectomy or alcohol ablation

3. Restrictive Cardiomyopathy — Least Common

Stiff, non-compliant myocardium → can't fill → elevated filling pressures
Causes: Amyloidosis (apple-green birefringence on Congo red), sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, radiation
ECG: Low voltage + conduction defects (amyloid deposits disrupt conduction)
Signs of both left and right HF; Kussmaul's sign may be present
Treatment: Treat underlying cause; supportive HF therapy

TOPIC 5 — SHOCK, DISEASES OF THE AORTA & ITS BRANCHES

(Ch. 74, 81; Sec. 6, Ch. 71, 72)

😵 Syncope

Transient LOC from cerebral hypoperfusion → self-limiting, full recovery

Type	Mechanism	Clue
Vasovagal	Vagal surge → bradycardia + vasodilation	Pain/emotion/prolonged standing trigger
Orthostatic	BP drops on standing	Elderly, dehydration, antihypertensives
Cardiac	Arrhythmia / structural	Exertional syncope, sudden onset
Carotid sinus	Sinus hypersensitivity	Tight collar / head turning

⚠️ Syncope during exertion = CARDIAC until proven otherwise (think AS, HCM, arrhythmia)

Workup: ECG, Holter, Echo, Tilt table test, Carotid sinus massage

⚡ Shock

= Inadequate tissue perfusion → cellular hypoxia → organ failure

Type	Cause	CO	SVR	CVP/PCWP
Hypovolemic	Hemorrhage, dehydration	↓	↑	↓
Cardiogenic	MI, severe HF, tamponade	↓	↑	↑
Distributive (Septic)	Sepsis, anaphylaxis	↑ (early)	↓	↓

All shock: Hypotension + tachycardia + altered consciousness

Hypovolemic/cardiogenic: cold, clammy skin
Distributive (early septic): warm, flushed skin

Treatment:

Hypovolemic → IV fluids / blood
Cardiogenic → Dobutamine, norepinephrine, IABP, revascularize
Septic → Fluids + broad-spectrum antibiotics within 1 hour + norepinephrine

🔵 Aortic Aneurysm

AAA (Abdominal): Dilation >3 cm, below renal arteries
- Risk: Males >65, smokers, HTN, atherosclerosis
- Screening: Abdominal USS in males >65 who ever smoked
- Repair: >5.5 cm, or rapid growth >1 cm/yr, or symptomatic
TAA (Thoracic): Associated with Marfan's, bicuspid aortic valve, syphilis

🔥 Aortic Dissection

Intimal tear → blood enters media → false lumen
Pain: Sudden, severe, tearing chest-to-back pain — max intensity at onset
Signs: Unequal BP in both arms, pulse deficit, aortic regurgitation murmur

Stanford Classification:

Type	Where	Treatment
Type A	Ascending aorta (±arch)	Emergency surgery
Type B	Descending aorta only	Medical (IV beta-blockers, BP control); TEVAR if complications

Imaging: CT angiography (best); urgent MRI or TEE if CT unavailable Initial Rx: IV labetalol/esmolol → target systolic BP <120, HR <60

🌊 Takayasu's Arteritis (Aortic Arch Syndrome)

Granulomatous vasculitis of the aorta and major branches
Who: Young women <40; Asian populations
Nickname: "Pulseless disease"

Two phases:

Inflammatory: Fever, fatigue, myalgia, ↑ESR/CRP
Fibrotic/Occlusive: Absent radial pulses, BP difference between arms, bruits, limb claudication, renovascular HTN

Diagnosis: MR angiography; biopsy if accessible vessel Treatment: Corticosteroids first line; methotrexate / tocilizumab for refractory; angioplasty / bypass for occlusion

🩸 Abdominal Aortic Branch Occlusion

Vessel	Syndrome	Features
Renal arteries	Renovascular HTN	Resistant HTN, elevated creatinine, flank bruit
SMA / Celiac	Intestinal ischemia	Postprandial pain + weight loss ("mesenteric angina")
Aortic bifurcation (Iliac)	Leriche Syndrome	Buttock claudication + erectile dysfunction + absent femoral pulses

TOPIC 6 — PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISORDERS

(Ch. 87)

🦵 Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Atherosclerosis of limb arteries (mostly lower limb)

Stages of severity:

Stage	Symptom
Asymptomatic	No symptoms
Intermittent claudication	Calf pain on walking → relief with rest
Rest pain	Foot pain at night; relieved by dangling leg
Critical limb ischemia	Ulcers / gangrene

Signs: Cool pale limb, absent pulses, hair loss on legs, non-healing ulcers at toes

Key Diagnostic Test — ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index):

ABI Value	Interpretation
>0.9	Normal
0.7-0.9	Mild PAD
0.4-0.7	Moderate PAD
<0.4	Severe / Critical ischemia
>1.3	Non-compressible vessels (calcification)

Ankle-Brachial Index test method for diagnosing PAD

ABI = ankle systolic BP ÷ arm systolic BP

Treatment:

Stop smoking (most important)
Antiplatelet: aspirin or clopidogrel
Statins (stabilize plaque)
Cilostazol (improves claudication)
Revascularization: Angioplasty / bypass for critical ischemia

❄️ Raynaud's Syndrome

Episodic digital vasospasm from cold or stress
Color sequence: White → Blue → Red
- White = ischemia (vasospasm)
- Blue = cyanosis (stagnant blood)
- Red = reactive hyperemia (reperfusion)

Type	Feature
Primary (Raynaud's disease)	Young women; no underlying disease; benign
Secondary (Raynaud's phenomenon)	Associated with scleroderma (most common), SLE, drugs (beta-blockers)

Treatment: Avoid cold; calcium channel blockers (nifedipine); sympathectomy if severe

🔥 Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger's Disease)

Segmental inflammatory thrombosis of small/medium arteries AND veins
Classic patient: Young male, heavy smoker
Affects fingers, toes, hands, feet → ulcers, gangrene
No atherosclerosis but strongly linked to tobacco
Hallmark: Migratory superficial thrombophlebitis
Only effective treatment: Absolute smoking cessation
Other: Prostaglandins (iloprost), amputation if needed

💜 Acrocyanosis

Persistent, painless, bluish discoloration of hands and feet
Benign vasospasm of cutaneous arterioles
Worsens with cold; improves with warmth
No tissue ischemia, no ulcers, no episodic attacks
Distinguished from Raynaud: persistent (not episodic) + painless

🔴 Erythromelalgia

Opposite of Raynaud: Burning, red, hot extremities
Triggered by warmth; relieved by cold water immersion
Associated with polycythemia vera and myeloproliferative disorders
Treatment: Aspirin (especially if polycythemia vera); avoid heat

🩸 Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD)

Non-inflammatory, non-atherosclerotic disease of medium arteries
Affects: Renal arteries → renovascular HTN | Carotid arteries → stroke/TIA in young women
Angiography: Classic "string of beads" appearance
Treatment: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)

🔵 Peripheral Arterial Aneurysms

Popliteal artery = most common peripheral aneurysm
Complications: Thrombosis / embolism → acute limb ischemia
Repair when >2 cm or symptomatic

TOPIC 7 — PERIPHERAL VENOUS & LYMPHATIC DISORDERS

(Ch. 88)

🩸 Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)

Virchow's Triad (risk factors):

Factor	Examples
Stasis	Immobility, long flights, pregnancy, post-op
Hypercoagulability	OCP, malignancy, Factor V Leiden, antiphospholipid syndrome
Endothelial injury	Surgery, trauma, IV cannula

Symptoms: Unilateral leg swelling + pain + warmth + redness

Diagnosis:

D-dimer → highly sensitive; negative D-dimer rules OUT DVT
Compression ultrasound → gold standard; non-compressible vein = DVT

DVT ultrasound showing non-compressible common femoral vein

Left: Vein does NOT compress (DVT present) | Right: Normal vein collapses with probe pressure

Complication — Pulmonary Embolism (PE):

Clot travels to pulmonary artery → dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, hypoxia, tachycardia
Massive PE → obstructive shock + RV strain on ECG (S1Q3T3)
Treatment: Systemic thrombolysis (tPA) for massive PE; anticoagulation for submassive/non-massive

DVT Treatment:

DOACs (rivaroxaban, apixaban) = first line
LMWH in cancer-associated DVT
Warfarin (INR 2-3) if DOACs unavailable
Duration: 3-6 months provoked; ≥12 months or lifelong unprovoked/recurrent
IVC filter if anticoagulation is contraindicated

🔴 Superficial Venous Thrombosis (SVT)

Clot in superficial veins; visible, tender, cord-like
Usually in varicose veins or around IV cannulas
Less dangerous than DVT; can extend to DVT especially near saphenofemoral junction
Treatment: NSAIDs, compression; fondaparinux if high risk of DVT extension

🌀 Varicose Veins

Dilated, tortuous superficial veins from incompetent venous valves
More common: Women, pregnancy, prolonged standing
Symptoms: Aching, heaviness, visible bulging, ankle swelling
Complications: Lipodermatosclerosis, venous eczema, venous ulcers (medial ankle)
Treatment: Compression stockings; sclerotherapy; laser/radiofrequency ablation; vein stripping

🦵 Chronic Venous Insufficiency & Post-Phlebitic Syndrome

Long-term venous hypertension + valve damage (often after DVT)
Features: Edema, hemosiderin pigmentation (brown skin), lipodermatosclerosis, venous ulcers

Venous Ulcer vs Arterial Ulcer — Key Differences:

Feature	Venous Ulcer	Arterial Ulcer
Location	Medial ankle (gaiter area)	Toes / pressure points
Appearance	Shallow, irregular, wet	Deep, punched-out, dry
Pain	Relatively painless	Very painful
Pulses	Present	Absent
Surrounding skin	Pigmented, indurated	Pale, atrophic, hairless
ABI	>0.9	<0.9

💧 Lymphedema

Impaired lymphatic drainage → protein-rich fluid accumulates → non-pitting edema

Type	Cause
Primary	Congenital (Milroy's disease) or idiopathic
Secondary	Breast cancer surgery/radiation (most common in developed world), filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti - globally)

Features:

Starts pitting → becomes non-pitting over time
Skin thickens (peau d'orange texture)
Stemmer's sign = cannot pinch skin at base of 2nd toe
Complications: Recurrent cellulitis, lymphangiosarcoma (Stewart-Treves syndrome)

Treatment: Complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDT) + compression garments + pneumatic compression (no cure)

🔵 Idiopathic Telangiectasia (Spider Veins)

Dilated superficial capillaries/venules
Usually cosmetic; may be hereditary (HHT = Osler-Weber-Rendu)
HHT features: Epistaxis + GI bleeding + pulmonary AVM
Treatment of spider veins: Sclerotherapy or laser

🔁 Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF)

Abnormal connection between artery and vein (bypasses capillary bed)
Congenital or acquired (trauma; dialysis access is deliberately created)
Features: Continuous machine-like murmur over site; distal ischemia ("steal"); high-output cardiac failure if large
Treatment: Surgical ligation or endovascular embolization (except dialysis AVF)
