Gold standard for assessing dietary sodium intake
Correct answer:
2. 24 hour urine electrolyte estimation
24 hour dietary recalls may underestimate sodium intake by 4-34% and overestimate potassium intake by upto 16%. Unlike dietary recalls (self reported dietary intake data), urinary sodium excretion does no depend on accuracy of self report or food composition tables which may be inaccurate for different varieties of food. Generally 90 – 95% on ingested sodium is excreted in urine. Added errors in dietary re...

Genetic basis in Brugada Syndrome – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Genetic basis in Brugada Syndrome – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Genetic basis in Brugada Syndrome has been identified in — percentage of cases currently – Correct answer: a) 30%
Though autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been noted in Brugada syndrome, pathogenic mutations have not been detected in 70% of the cases [1]. The first mutation to be identified in the syndrome was in the sodium channel gene SCN5A in 1998 [2]. Even today most of the mutations detected in the syndrome are in the same gene (21%). Several other potential genes have been identified (CACNA1C, GPD1L, HEY2, PKP2, RANGR...

Drug challenge in Brugada syndrome – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Drug challenge in Brugada syndrome – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Which of the following is not usually used as drug challenge to unmask the Brugada Type I ECG pattern? – Correct answer: d) Propranolol
Drug challenge is used when there is clinical suspicion in the form of syncope, agonal respiration and family history, but ECG does not show the classical type I Brugada syndrome ECG. Sodium channel blockers are used to unmask the ECG changes of the disease. Drug challenge should be cautiously done with continuous ECG monitoring and occurrence of QRS widening more than 130% of baseline, frequent ventricular ecto...

Side effects of fludrocortisone – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Side effects of fludrocortisone – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Side effects of fludrocortisone does not include – Correct answer: d) Postural hypotension
Fludrocortisone is an important drug for the treatment of postural hypotension. It is a synthetic steroid with mineralocorticoid activity. It increases sodium reabsorption in the renal tubules. The drug in turn increases potassium excretion and cause hypokalemia. Sodium retention causes volume expansion decreases the chance of postural hypotension. For the same reason it may cause supine hypertension in these patients. Often supine hypertension is an importan...

Which of the following is NOT a drug used for metabolic modulation in heart failure?
Trimetazidine
Ranolazine
Perhexiline
Sacubitril-valsartan
Correct answer: 4. Sacubitril-valsartan
Sacubitril-valsartan is an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI). Trimetazidine is a 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase inhibitor, while ranolazine inhibits the late sodium current. Perhexiline inhibits carnitine palmitoyl transferase. Latter three are metabolic modulators while sacubitril-valsartan is a hemodynamic modulator in heart failure [Ashrafian H, Neubauer S. Metabolic modulation in heart failure: high time for a definitive ...

Heart failure in chronic kidney disease – Cardiology Basics
Heart failure in chronic kidney disease – Cardiology Basics
Prevalence of both heart failure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasing as the population is aging globally. Hence heart failure in chronic kidney disease is seen more often. Presence of CKD in heart failure increases morbidity and mortality. Though there is increasing use of effective medications and special devices like cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients in general, those with CKD have not been benefited well.
CKD is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3 months, with implications for h...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Cardiology
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is useful in assessment of myocardial perfusion and viability, atherosclerotic plaque activity as well as cardiac innervation in heart failure. PET is also useful in prosthetic valve endocarditis, endocarditis associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), infiltrative cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis and cardio oncology [1].
PET imaging has superior diagnostic accuracy compared to SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography). It has improved spatial and temporal resolution and can measure regional blood flow and has less radiation. In PET, high energy gamma...

Treatment of infective endocarditis
Discussion of whole list of options of antimicrobials for different varieties of endocarditis is quite a large topic. This discussion is only a broad outline of the antimicrobial treatment of infective endocarditis, meant mainly for exam purpose rather than actual clinical treatment. References to more detailed guidelines have been provided for those who wish to learn more.
Inoculum Effect
High microbial density as in vegetations cause less antimicrobial activity of some antimicrobial agents. This is known as inoculum effect and has been documented with β-lactams and glycopeptides but not linezolid, in the treatment of St...

Digoxin in Heart failure: Foxglove blossoms again, please don ’ t crush it this time!
William Withering the British Botanist of 18th century now laid to rest in the St Barthomlew Churchyard ,Edgbaston is known for his astonishing isolation of the wonder moelcule Digoxin from Foxglove. (Of course, let us not forget original old lady Ms. Hutton from Shropshire who was treating epidemic dropsy with a concoction of herbal Tea ) He reported this in the seminal paper “An account of Foxglove’ in the year 1750 and subsequently became a fellow of Royal college of science.
(The story of Withering and Digoxin is extensively researched and written by Dr Dennis M, Krikler in a classic review article of 198...
