advanced exams for valvular anomalies
TEE
TTE
Right heart cath
heart valve order
toilet paper my ass
Tricuspid
Pulmonic
Mitral
Aortic
vena contracta
diameter of stream is least
fluid velocity is max
when is vena contracta measured
regurgitant valves
EROA
effective regurgitatnt orifice area
EROA is measured by
TEE doppler
PISA method
Annulus
fibrous ring of tissue that accommodates the dynamic myocardium and valve leaflets
how is annular diameter measured
TEE
what HR is ideal for regurgitation?
Faster HR
– allows for more forward flow
– limits backflow
what HR is ideal for stenosis
Slower HR
– increases flow across small valve
RH valves
Tricuspid
pulmonic
tricuspid stenosis SE
Right atrial dilation
- arrythmias
- jugular venous distension
- ascites
- peripheral edema
- hepatomegaly
- anasarca (general swelling)
what is tricuspid stenosis associated with
RHD
valvular disorders
tricuspid stenosis anesthetic managment

tricuspid regurge anesthetic
manage PHTN
manage RHF
mx volume status
normal HR
how do you manage PHTN
avoid hypoxia
avoid fluid overload
avoid hypercarbia
how do you manage RHF
milrinone
dobutamine
when are neuraxial techniques CI for tricuspid regurge
with tricuspid regurge and RHF
pulmonic stenosis is most common in what pt population
peds
pulmonic stenosis symtoms
asymptomatic until severe
