Maternal cardioversion: fetal effect Price: $1.00 Quantity: DC cardioversion or atrial overdrive pacing via a permanent pacemaker or transesophageal pacing can be used to treat dysrhythmias while avoiding the side effects of anti-arrhythmic agents on the fetus.	Acid-base management Price: $1.00 Quantity: From the history, examination and initial investigations, make a clinical decision as to what is the most likely acid-base disorder
AHA/ACC guidelines risk factors Price: $1.00 Quantity: Clinical trial evidence shows a protective effect of perioperative statin use on cardiac complications during noncardiac surgery, so statins should not be discontinued before surgery.	AICD: preventing intraoperative firing Price: $1.00 Quantity: For a pacemaker dependent patient the device should be reprogrammed to an asynchronous mode, if electrocautery is to be used and tachycardia sensing and adaptive rate pacingshould be programmed off.
Antiphospholipids syndrome Price: $1.00 Quantity: The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies is associated with a clinical syndrome characterised by thrombocytopenia, recurrent arterial and venous thromboses and. recurrent fetal loss.	Aortic stenosis: hypotension rx Price: $1.00 Quantity: In Aortic Stenosis (AS), there is a long latent period of increasing obstruction during which an asymptomatic patient has a normal life-span. However once angina, syncope or heart failure develops, survival is reduced.
AV block ID coronary artery Price: $1.00 Quantity: In adults, the clinical interest in coronary anomalies relates to their occasional association with sudden death, myocardial ischemia, congestive heart failure, or endocarditis.	B-type natriureticpeptide: circ effects Price: $1.00 Quantity: Infusion of incremental doses of human brain natriureticpeptide is associated with favorable hemodynamic and natriuretic effects in patients with severe congestive heart failure.
Cardiac cycle Price: $1.00 Quantity: Contraction of the myocardium generates pressure changes which result in the orderly movement of blood. Blood flows from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure, unless flow is blocked by a valve.	Cardiac tamponade anesthetic mgmt Price: $1.00 Quantity: Volume expansion with blood, plasma, dextran, or isotonic sodium chloride solution, as necessary to maintain adequate intravascular volume
Case 2 Price: $1.00 Quantity: Beta blockers should be prescribed during the perioperative period unless contraindicated.	CPB hypotension: causes Price: $1.00 Quantity: Separation from CPB can be marked by hemodynamic instability, as sudden changes can occur in preload, contractility, and afterload.
CVP trace: interpretation Price: $1.00 Quantity: A volume challenge of 250-500 ml crystalloid causing an increase in CVP that is not sustained for more than 10 minutes suggests hypovolaemia.	Diastolic dysfunction rx Price: $1.00 Quantity: Heart failure is characterised by neurohormonal activation that initially helps to maintain circulatory function but is ultimately harmful to the heart. Modern treatment aims to control symptoms and prolong lif
Diastolic Dysfunction Drug Rx Price: $1.00 Quantity: The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor should be introduced at a low dose and titrated upwards over several weeks to the doses shown to be effective in clinical trials, while symptoms, blood pressure, and renal function are monitored.	Diastolic dysfunction: dx Price: $1.00 Quantity: Diastolic heart failure is defined as a condition caused by increased resistance to the filling of one or both ventricles; this leads to symptoms of congestion from the inappropriate upward shift of the diastolic pressure-volume relation.
Geriatric anesth cardiac changes Price: $1.00 Quantity: Normal age-related changes cause the heart to become a less effective pump for the body, which results in elderly patients' decreased ability to respond to autonomic stimulation and stressors such as surgery.	Intraop myocard ischemia: rx Price: $1.00 Quantity: The goals of management of myocardial ischemia are to relieve symptoms and to prevent future fatal and nonfatal acute coronary syndromes such as unstable angina myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death.
TEE normal anatomy Price: $1.00 Quantity: The most commonly used imaging plane for myocardial ischemia monitoring with TEE is the transgastric short axis view at the level of the mid-papillary muscles.
