A Clinical Flashcards
Signs of severity of AS
Plateau pulse
Aortic Thrill
Late peaking ESM
LVF
rSplit S2
S4
Findings consistent with aortic stenosis
BP- small pulse pressure
Pulse - small vol, slow up rise, plateau
Apex - pressure loaded
Murmur - ESM, rad to carotids, soft on valsalva
RSplitting S2
S3
S4
Causes of AS
Bicuspid valve
Degenerative calcification
Signs of severity of MR
Small vol pulse
LV dilatation / displaced apex
LVF
Pulmonary HTN
Early diastolic rumble
S3s:
Soft S1
Split S2
S3
Findings consistent with MR
Apex - volume loaded, displaced
Murmur - pansystolic, to axilla
Valsalva - move put ur closer to S1
Isometric- increase intensity by increasing afterload
Indications for MVR
Acute MR
NYHA III/IV
LV dysfunction with EF >30%
Findings consistent with HOCM
Pulse- jerky
Apex- double impulse
Murmur- ESM, late, max LSE - PSM of MR at apex
S4
Valsalva- louder
Hand grip - softer
Signs of severity of HOCM
ECG- AF, LVH, lat ST changes, deep q waves, conduction blocks
TTE - asymmetrical hypertrophy with septal hypertrophy and SAM (systolic anterior motion) mitral valve
LVOT gradient correlated with symptoms and prognosis
Findings consistent with MVP
Murmur- mid or late diastolic click
Late crescendo-decrecendo at apex
Findings consistent with VSD
Thrill
Murmur- pansystolic loudest at LSE (loud=small)
S3
S4
Valsalva - softer
Signs of severity of VSD
Pulmonary HTN - shunt reversal
Cyanosis - shunt reversal
Indications for closure of VSD
Mid to large shunt
Complications:
CCF RVOT AR IE Eisenmongers
Findings consistent with ASD
Murmur- Midsystolic pulmonary ejection murmur
Fixed splitting S2
Mid diastolic rumbling LSE (incr flow through TV)
Inspiration - louder
Signs of severity of ASD
Pulmonary HTN
significant L:R shunt 2:1 (pulmonary to systemic)
Signs consistent with TR
JVP- prominent v waves, rapid y decent Apex - RV heave PHT - loud P2 Murmur - harsh midsystolic murmur, LSE Abdo - pulsatile liver
Louder on inspiration
