Answer: Dilated
Flashcard 3: Patients who develop pulmonary infarction may develop right heart strain that generates a _____ EKG finding
Answer: S1Q3T3
Flashcard 4: What EKG findings are associated with Vasospastic angina? _____
Answer: ST-segment elevation (transmural ischemia)
Flashcard 5: In the **JONES** criteria for rheumatic fever, what does the **'O'** represent?
Answer: **Carditis** (Pancarditis: endocarditis, myocarditis, and pericarditis)
Extra: The major **JONES** criteria for Rheumatic Fever are:

Extra: Features:
1. Ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy (tongue deviation to side of lesion)
2. Contralateral hemiparesis (pyramidal tract)
3. Contralateral loss of proprioception/vibration (medial lemniscus)
Flashcard 10: Pathophysiology of migraine headache
Answer: irritation of CN 5, meninges, and/or blood vessels
Extra: Involves activation of the trigeminovascular system.
Pathogenesis: Release of substance P, CGRP, and vasoactive peptides.
Clinical features: Pulsating unilateral headache; 4-72 hr duration; +/- nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, aura.
Treatment:
