  9. CONN;S SYNDROME = BP 210/110 + hyperetensive retinopathy+ hypokalemia>> Inv : PLASMA ALDOSTERONE CONCENTRATION
  10. PHOECHROMOCYTOMA = overproduction of catecholamine leading to HTN
  11. PCKD= HTN + AD
  12. CONN’S SYNDROME= HTN due to increase production of aldosterorone
  13. GLOMERULONEPHRITIS = immune complex deposition in glomerular basement membrane>>> leading to HTN
  14. Heart failure + AF = Digoxin
  15. Student + anxiety + palpitation >>>> CAFFEIN EXCLUSION
  16. palpitation + faintness+ BP 90/50 ECG: SVT >>> Resistant to adenosine = DC CARDIOVERSION
  17. DIRECT CURRENT (dc) CARDIOVERSION= Recurrent VT resistant to initial Rx + Bronchial asthma present + CVS stable+ h/o MI
  18. WPW + AF + resistant to drug RX= ACCESSORY PATHWAY ABLATION
