digoxin can be used to control the heart rate in AF when the patient is sedentary or there is coexisting heart failure

* Ankylosing S    : TNF a / Adalimumab

* Abatacept is CTLA-4 IG interfere with T cell use in Rx of RA

* Tocilizumab is anti IL6 monoclonal AB used for RA

* Trastuzumab use in breast cancer S/E Cardiomyopathy so it's needs regular monitoring of EF
[11/06, 1:40 a.m.] ....: Sacubitril valsartan  is dual action , combining ARB +Neprilysin inhibitor >>> It reduces both mortality & admission for heart failure by 20%


What's Fifth disease ??

Fifth disease is viral illness that most kids recover from quickly and without complications. Also called erythema infectiosum, it's caused by parvovirus B19.

 In non-elderly men with osteoporosis and no clear pathology, measuring serum testosterone is very useful in elucidating a underlying cause
This is a patient with osteoporosis who needs investigations to determine the cause. In the absence of bone turner over disease the presence of erectile dysfunction suggests an underlying endocrine problem. The first line in investigating this would be to test morning serum testosterone. If this was found to be low, then LH and FSH should be tested. If testosterone is low and LH and FSH are not elevated then the underlying cause would be secondary hypogonadism. Secondary hypogonadism should be investigated with prolactin as prolactin can suppress LH and FSH, and potentially MRI of the pituitary to look for an adenoma. If the testosterone is low and LH and FSH are elevated then the underlying cause is primary hypogonadism and karyotyping should be done.



 🔸IV adrenaline for cardiac arrest.
🔸Atropine is no longer used for any rhythms  associated with arrest.
🔸IV fluid if arrest is due to hypovolaemia
🔸External pacing for P-wave systole
🔸amiodarone and defibrilater👉 for shockable rhythm algorithm


radiation induced constrictive pericarditis is known to demonstrate a worse long-term prognosis than other causes



Ivabradine tab :
MOA : inhibition of the cardiac pacemaker If current  which controls spontaneous diastolic depolarisation in the sinus node and regulate heart rate

Indications : recommended by NICE for Rx of heart failure  on top of B blocker or where BB contraindicated,   where heart rate > 75 b/ m

Dose : 2.5 - 7.5 max mg bid per day
