Pt h/o hemorrhagic Stroke(thalamus) 3wk back, c/o chest pain with bp 70/shock. Diagnosis and management.
ECG Left axis deviation with LVH and strain. Thalamic hemorrhage itself can be responsible for this shock and sepsis might be another reason. First send for cardiac enzymes. History of anti hypertensive medication needs to be taken into account. Please correct hypovolumia if any and after correction add inotropes if BP is low. Please monitor urine output. Unlikely to be a case of cardiogenic shock.
sorry, saw this notification just today is the patient stable now? his ecgslows a probable LVH strain pattern and what about history any angina on exertion earlier? or DOE? anything favourable to suggest ACS ? when did the CVA occur? had he been walking? or in prolonged supine posture ? in such a situation PE should also be ruled out apart from ACS with cardiogenic shock and even i cardiac tamponade to be ruled out other causes like LV dysfunction due to sepsis and hypovolemia to be ruled out if clinically relevant .repeat Ecg, echocardiogram and cardiac injury enzymes with CBC would be helpful
Oedema of the brain stem can cause vasomotor instability. No ST elevation is seen in any lead so Cardiogenic shock is a remote possibility. Cardiac enzymes elevation in this case can be a clue to subendocardial injury and does not qualify for thrombolysis and thrombolysis is contraindicated in this. Please let us know the results of the investigations.
It's lvh with strain with re bleed into basal ganglia again same side with mass effect. Thank u all.
Sinus tachycardia lbbb as pt hypotensive with stroke admit DNS 2 decho tropi & t MRI brain
Cardiac enzymes positive
recent studies have shown that pts. in cardiogenic shock with mi are more benefited with urgent ptca in comparison with pt. who are initially medically stabilised and delayed ptca is done
Plz elaborate ecg finding? Whether stemi or nstemi?
pt. is in acute cardiogenic shock probably due to anterior wall mi (in ECG)..pt. to be started on dopamine infusion (if needed start ADR infusion) and then plan for urgent coronary intervention

Dyspnea It is normal with all of us when we exert excessively.. But Dyspnea that is greater than expected with the degree of exertion... is a symptom of disease. Most cases of dyspnea result from asthma, heart failure and myocardial ischemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, or psychogenic disorders.. Below mentioned are the pathological causes of Dyspnea by Organ System…. CARDIO-VASCULAR… Pulmonary edema Acute valvular disease Myocardial infarction Cardiac tamponade Heart failure Angina Constrictive pericarditis RESPIRATORY… Acute exacerbations or persistent chronic asthma Acute exacerbation or persistent chronic obstructive lung disease Pulmonary embolism Pneumothorax Pneumonia ARDS Anaphylaxis COPD Asthma Interstitial lung diseases Pulmonary hypertension Malignancy (tumor related obstructive lesions and lymphangitic spread) Pleural effusions Sleep apnea Foreign body aspiration GASTROINTESTINAL/HEPATIC Acute liver failure and its consequences Abdominal distention of various causes Ascites Portopulmonary hypertension Hepatopulmonary syndrome RENAL CAUSE Acute or chronic renal failure and its consequences HEMATOLOGICAL… Hemorrhage Anemia NEUROMUSCULAR High cervical cord lesions Trauma to phrenic nerves Central apneas Myasthenia gravis Myopathies Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ENT cause Vocal Cord Dysfunction Laryngeo-tracheal obstruction PSYCHOGENIC BREATHLESSNESS I hope this list of causes will be HELPFUL to diagnose the aetiology of DYSPNEA…

Cause of BREATHLESSNESS 1.Acute a)Cardiovascular -Acute Pulmonary Oedema b)Respiratory -Acute Severe Asthma -acute exacerbation of COPD -Pneumothorax -Pulmonary Embolism -ARDS -Pneumonia -Inhaled foreign body -Lobar collapse -Laryngeal oedema( eg Anaphylaxis) C)Other -Metabolic Acidosis(DKA,Lactic acidosis,Salicylate poisoning,Renal failure- acute or chronic, ethylene glycol poisoning,Massive rhabdomyolysis,Toluene & paraldehyde toxicity)in all anion gap will be increased except AK failure . in CKD , it can be either increased or normal. -Psychogenic hyperventilation( anxiety or panic related) 2)CHRONIC DOE a)Cardiovascular -Chronic Heart Failure -Myocardial ischaemia( angina equivalent) B)Respiratory -COPD -Chronic asthma -Bronchial carcinoma -ILD(sarcoidosis, Fibrosing alveolitis,Extrinsic allergic alveolitis,Pneumoconiosis ) -Chronic Pulmonary Embolism -Lymphatic carcinomatosis -Large Pleural effusion C) other -Severe anaemia -Obesity
