Q

Etiologies of aortic stenosis

A

Degenerative (calcific, senile, fibrosis, or sclerosis)

Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) - 1% of population

Rheumatic or postinflammatory scarring

[normal AoV area is 4.0 cm]

18
Q

Symptoms of aortic stenosis

A

Arise in 6th decade

Exertional dyspnea, angina, syncope, heart failure

Without tx, prognosis is poor — most die w/i 3 years of developing syncope and w/i 2 years of onset of HF

19
Q

Pathophysiology of aortic stenosis

A

Obstruction leads to pressure overload; LVH, increase LVED pressure

Gradient across valve

[severe AS if AoV <1 cm]

20
Q

Aortic stenosis on PE

A

Narrow pulse pressure; decreased SV and systolic pressure

Delayed pulses - Parvis (weak-small)/Tardus (late)

Systolic murmur, harsh, 2nd ICS RSB; radiates into suprasternal notch/carotids

21
Q

What is the Gallavardin phenomenon?

A

AS murmur radiates to apex (like MR)

22
Q

Causes of acute vs. chronic aortic regurg

A

Acute: IE, aortic dissection, BAV

Chronic: Syphilis, ankylosing spondylitis

23
Q

PE findings with aortic regurg

A

Diastolic decrescendo murmur, 3rd ICS LSB

Systolic murmur usually present, soft

Wide pulse pressure; bisferious pulse

De Musset sign, Corrigan’s pulse, Quincke’s pulse, Traube’s sign, Durozrey’s sign, Hill’s sign

Austin Flint murmur — can mimic mitral stenosis

24
