9. Cough Acute cough (<3wk) o Upper RS infection o Other serious disease Pneumonia PE CHF Subacute cough (3-8wk) o Postinfectious o Mycoplasma or Chlamydia Chronic cough (>8wk) o COPD o Bronchiectasis o Bronchogenic CA

Non-smoker w/ chr cough w/ normal CXR o ACEI o Postnasal drip o Asthma o GERD

10. Cyanosis Increased quantity of reduced Hb or Hb derivatives in small bl vv bluish color Central cyanosis SaO2 <85% cyanosis o Skin pigmentation detect SaO2 Mucus membrane more sensitive o Anemia (cyanosis absolute degree of Reduced Hb > Relative anemia) PV cyanosis Venous dilataion/ congestion inc amount of Reduced Hb o Other Hb: MetHb, SulfHb

Cause of cyanosis

SaO2 = approach cause of hypoxemia o Altitude o Hypoventilation: central or peripheral o V/Q mismatch o Diffusion abnormalities o shunt Intracardiac Cyanotic HD Intrapulmonary AVF Abnormal Hb o MetHb o SulfHb o COHb (not true cyanosis) o Hb w/ low affinity Approach True cyanosis COHb, PV Central cyanosis (exclude peripheral cyanosis) o Look at face & mucous membrane o Pulse oximetry o Not in low CO state, peripheral vasocons Onset o Since birth or infancy Congenital heart o acquired cause Heart, Lung, or Hb is the cause? Clubbing w/ cyanosis chronic process o Congenital Heart disease w/ Rt to Lt shunt o IE o Lung dz: lung abscess, Pulm AVF, Bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, cirrhosis (HPS), Metas lung cancer, Mesothelioma Clubbing w/ HOA o Metas lung cancer o Mesothelioma o Bronchiectasis o Cirrhosis

11. Syncope

transient loss of consciousness and postural tone due to reduced cerebral blood flow o with spontaneous recovery o = presyncope lightheadedness, dizziness, a feeling of warmth, diaphoresis, nausea, and visual blurring occasionally proceeding to transient blindness Causes Vascular tone or Blood volume disorders o Reflex Neurocardiogenic: Vasovagal Situational: cough, mic, defe, valsava, deglutition Caroid sinus hypersensitivity: Hx of neck manipulation, tight collar o Orthostatic hypotension: Drug Autonomic Peripheral = neuropathy, sympatectomy Central = MSA Idiopathic Decreased blood volume CVS dz o Structural heart dz = obstructive cause Lt sided Valve o AS, HOCM o MS Myocardium o MI, CM o Atrial myxoma Rt sided Valve Pericardium o Constrictive pericarditis o Tamponade Lung o PE o PHT

o Arrhythmias Bradyarrhythmia

Sinus problem AV block Tachyarrhythmia SVT w/ structural Heart AF w/ WPW AFl 1:1 AV conduction VT Cerebrovascular disease o Vertebrobasilar insuff o Basilar migraine Syncope mimick (DDx trainsient loss of consciousness w/o reduced cerebral bl flow) o Seizure o Metabolic: hypogly, anemia, hypoxia, hypocarbia (hypervent) o Psychia: anxiety, hysterical Approach Exclude Life-threatening causes Hx most important diagnostic tool o Events & time course syncope syncope syncope o Supine position syncope not vasovagal arrhythmia, seizure o Loss of conscious , micturition, vol depletion abn of vascular tone o o CVS o Cerebrovascular o Reflex syncope Vasovagal Carotid sinus hypersensitivity o Orthostatic hypotension

12. Claudication = pain, ache, cramp, numbness, or a sense of fatigue in the muscles; it occurs during exercise and is relieved by rest Pathology vascular cause Psuedocluadication = Neurogenic claudication o Lumbar stenosis & Lumbar radiculopathy o relieve nerve entrapment Cause of Claudication Venous site o DVT Arterial site (PAD) o Intraluminal Thrombosis Emboli Cholesterol Septic o Luminal Artherosclerosis FMD (female) Vasculitis Buergers Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, forme frusta (progressive calcification & degeneration of elastic fiber) Aortic dissection Coarctation of aorta o Extraluminal Arterosclerosis site Calf pain Superficial femoral, or Femoro-popliteal a. Thigh & calf pain Iliofemoral a. Buttock, hip pain +/- ED Aorto-iliac a. (Leriches syndrome) Onset for clues Acute = Thrombosis, Emboli Progressive = Artherosclerosis Age <40 = Buergers dz, Vasculitis Postprocedure + acute setting = Chol emboli
