Q

phases of the cardiac cycle

A

isovolumic contraction - period between which AV valves shut, SL valves open; ventricles contracting in a closed circuit
rapid ejection - opening of SL valves; c wave in JVP
reduced ejection - slowing of ejection ultimately causing closure of SL valves (aortic and pulmonary trunk pressures >ventricular pressure)isovolumic relaxation - relaxation of ventricles when both AV and SL valves are shut; V wave in JVPrapid ventricular filling - AV valves open causing rapid filling; y descent in jvpdiastasis - as filling of ventricles nears ~80%atrial systole - atria contract to top of the ventricles with last amount of blood; a wave in jvp

Q

auscultation in MS

A

T/C - mid diastolic low pitched rumbling diastolic murmur
R - nil
loud S1 - valve cusps remain wide open at onset of systole
loud or palpable P2 if pulmonary HTN
opening snap - high LA pressure forces valve open

18
Q

causes of MS

A

RHD

congenital parachute valve

19
Q

MR symptoms

A

dyspnea - increased LA pressure

fatigue - decreased CO

20
Q

MR signs

A

tachypnea

21
Q

MR pulse

A

normal or sharp upstroke due to rapid ventricular decompression
AF relatively common

22
Q

JVP in MR

A

n/a

23
Q

palpation in MR

A

displaced, diffuse and hyperdynamic apex beat
pansytolic thrill occasionally present at apex
parasternal heave due to LA enlargement behind the RV

24
Q

auscultation in MR

A

T/C - pansytolic murmur maximal at apex and usually radiating towards axilla
soft or absent S1-
LV S3 due to rapid LV filling in early diastole

25
Q

MR accentuation manoeuvres

A

valsalva - longer and louder

26
Q

causes of MR

A

mitral valve prolapse
degeneration associated with age
RHD
papillary muscle dysfunction due to LV failure or ischemia
cardiomyopathy - hypertrophic, dilated or restrictive
CT diseases
congenital

27
Q

AR symptoms

A

occurs in late stage of disease
exertional dyspnea, fatigue, exertional angina - decreased CO
palpitations - hyperdynamic circulation

28
Q

AR signs

A

none specifically but
marfanoid features
Ankolysing spondylitis or other seronegative arthropathies

29
Q

AR pulse and BP

A

collapsing pulse ‘water hammer’ - most obvious if raising patient’s arm while feeling radial pulse
wide pulse pressure - DBP very low as leaking back constantly, SBP normal
bisfiriens pulse - severe AR - venturi effect - rapid ejection and brief in drawing of aortic wall leading to a diminution of the pulse followed by rebound increase

30
Q

AR JVP/neck

A

prominent carotid pulsations

31
Q

AR palpation

A

diastolic thrill may be felt at LSE if sitting up and exhaling

32
Q

AR auscultation

A

T/C - early diastolic, decrescendo quality, high pitched. may extend for variable time into diastole
loudest at 3/4 ICS
soft A2 component
systolic ejection murmur usually also present - aortic stenosis or turbulent flow across normal diameter aortic valve

Q

A

expiration and leaning forward

34
Q

acute AR causes

A

valvular - IE

aortic root - marfan’s syndrome - aortic dissection

differentiate acute AR to chronic AR
