warfarin

26
Q

tx of severe mitral stenosis:

A

mitral valve replacement surgery

27

A

Aortic Regurgitation

29
Q

causes of Aortic Regurgitation

A

inflammatory diseases
congenital abnormalities
rheumatic heart disease

30
Q

Associated with ascending dissecting aortic aneurysm

A

Acute aortic regurgitation:

31
Q

most common risk factor for Acute aortic regurgitation:

A

systemic HTN

32

feeling of a “forceful” heartbeat

33
Q

hallmark finding of acute aortic regurgitation:

A

a diastolic murmur that is loudest over the aortic area

widened pulse pressure

34
Q

asymptomatic Acute aortic regurgitation:

A

yearly EKG and CXR

35
Q

symptomatic Acute aortic regurgitation:
