    This document provides medical mnemonics to help remember important information about various cardiovascular conditions and findings: 1. SAD MI describes characteristics of aortic stenosis and its basic management. 2. "WiLLiaM MaRRoW" helps identify left versus right bundle branch block patterns on ECG. 3. CARDIAC RIND lists potential causes of pericarditis. 4. SAPS identifies systolic murmurs as aortic or pulmonic stenosis. 5. PULSE lists signs and symptoms of a myocardial infarction. 6. "Heart SAVER" describes heart compensatory mechanisms that preserve organ blood flow during shock. 7. "RILE

    Aortic stenosis characteristics SAD: Syncope Angina Dyspnoea MI: basic management BOOMAR: Bed rest Oxygen Opiate Monitor Anticoagulate Reduce clot size ECG: left vs. right bundle block "WiLLiaM MaRRoW": W pattern in V1-V2 and M pattern in V3-V6 is Left bundle block. M pattern in V1-V2 and W in V3-V6 is Right bundle block. Note: consider bundle branch blocks when QRS complex is wide. Pericarditis: causes CARDIAC RIND: Collagen vascular disease Aortic aneurysm Radiation Drugs (such as hydralazine) Infections Acute renal failure Cardiac infarction Rheumatic fever Injury Neoplasms Dressler's syndrome

    Murmurs: systolic types SAPS: Systolic Aortic Pulmonic Stenosis Systolic murmurs include aortic and pulmonary stenosis. Similarly, it's common sense that if it is aortic and pulmonary stenosis it could also be mitral and tricusp regurgitation]. MI: signs and symptoms PULSE: Persistent chest pains Upset stomach Lightheadedness Shortness of breath Excessive sweating Heart compensatory mechanisms that 'save' organ blood flow during shock "Heart SAVER": Symphatoadrenal system Atrial natriuretic factor Vasopressin Endogenous digitalis-like factor Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system In all 5, system is activated/factor is released Murmurs: right vs. left loudness "RILE": Right sided heart murmurs are louder on Inspiration. Left sided heart murmurs are loudest on Expiration. ST elevation causes in ECG ELEVATION: Electrolytes LBBB Early repolarization Ventricular hypertrophy Aneurysm Treatment (eg pericardiocentesis) Injury (AMI, contusion) Osborne waves (hypothermia)

    Non-occlusive vasospasm Beck's triad (cardiac tamponade) 3 D's: Distant heart sounds Distended jugular veins Decreased arterial pressure
