What Is This?

You're reviewing a flashcard. You see "myocardial infarction" but can't remember the details.

Click it. A popup appears with everything: definition, why it matters clinically, how it shows up on exams, mnemonics, differentials, even practice cases.

That's it. No account, no internet needed, no tracking. Just click and learn.

What's Inside Each Term?

Here's what you actually get when you click a term. Real examples from the addon:

๐Ÿ’” Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)

Definition

Necrosis of heart muscle due to prolonged ischemia from acute loss of coronary blood flow (usually plaque rupture with thrombosis). Subdivided into STEMI or NSTEMI based on ECG.

Why It Matters

MI is a leading cause of death worldwide. Rapid intervention is critical - untreated large MIs lead to heart failure, shock, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac arrest. Time is muscle.

Tricks & Mnemonics

  • MONA: Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates, Aspirin (oxygen only if hypoxemic)
  • Door-to-balloon: <90 minutes for STEMI
  • Killip classification: I = no HF, II = rales/S3, III = pulmonary edema, IV = cardiogenic shock

Practice Case

A 59-year-old man with hypertension presents with 30 minutes of crushing chest pain and diaphoresis. ECG shows ST elevations in V2-V4. BP 100/60, HR 110, cool extremities.

Show Answer

STEMI (acute anterior wall MI)

Classic anterior STEMI from LAD occlusion. Hypotension + cool extremities = potential cardiogenic shock. Needs emergent PCI.

๐Ÿฆ‹ Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Definition

Chronic multi-organ autoimmune disease where nuclear autoantibodies form immune complexes that damage multiple organs. Classic: "butterfly" malar rash.

The Classic Presentation

Young woman with fatigue, fever, joint pains, and a photosensitive malar rash (spares nasolabial folds). May have oral ulcers, alopecia, Raynaud's.

Tricks & Mnemonics

MD SOAP BRAIN - the 11 classic criteria:

  • Malar rash
  • Discoid rash
  • Serositis
  • Oral ulcers
  • Arthritis
  • Photosensitivity
  • Blood (cytopenias)
  • Renal disorder
  • ANA positive
  • Immunologic markers
  • Neurologic symptoms

Why "It's Never Lupus"

House was wrong sometimes. But the joke exists because SLE can mimic almost anything - it's the great imitator. When a young woman has weird multisystem symptoms that don't fit one diagnosis... maybe it actually is lupus.

๐Ÿงฎ Anion Gap (Formula)

The Formula

Anion Gap = Naโบ - (Clโป + HCOโ‚ƒโป)

Normal: 8-12 mEq/L

Interpretation

| Range | Meaning | |-------|---------| | 8-12 | Normal | | 13-20 | Mildly elevated - investigate | | >20 | High AG acidosis - think MUDPILES |

MUDPILES (High Anion Gap Causes)

  • Methanol
  • Uremia
  • DKA
  • Propylene glycol
  • INH / Iron
  • Lactic acidosis
  • Ethylene glycol
  • Salicylates

Interactive Calculator

Enable beta features to use the live calculator! Plug in Na, Cl, HCOโ‚ƒ and get instant results with interpretation.
