Q

Visible pulsations on finger nailbed in aortic regurgitation is characteristic of which sign?

A

Quinckies sign

17
Q

Sign of accentuated retinal artery pulsation in aortic regurgitation

A

Beckers sign

18
Q

Presence of pulsatile uvula?

A

Mullers sign

19
Q

Explain austin flint murmurs?

A

Due to regurgitation of large amounts of blood in left ventricle, there’s a compression of anterior mitral leaflet towards the posterior one.
This apparent stenosis of mitral valve cause turbulence and cause a mid to late diastolic murmur.

20
Q

Wide pulse pressure are seen in which all conditions?

A
Aortic regurgitation 
Tricuspid regurgitation 
PDA
VSD
Fever
Anemia 
Thyrotoxicosis
Pregnancy 
AV fistula 
Exercise 
Complete heart block
Anxiety
21
Q

What is the ECG finding on aortic regurgitation?

A

Narrow deep Q waves in leftprecordial leads.due to left ventricular hypertrophy with volume overload

22
Q

What is the CXR finding in aortic regurgitation?

A

Ledt ventricular and aortic regurgitation.

23
Q

What is 2D ECHO finding in aortic regurgitation?

A

Dilated left ventricle
Left ventricular overload
Flutter of anterior mitral valve leaflet

24
Q

Treatment of aortic regurgitation?

A
Diuretics 
ACE inhibitors 
Vasodilator drugs
Salt restrictions 
Aortic valve replacement
25
Q

What are the indications for aortic valve replacement

A

Ejection fraction less than 55%

LV systolic diameter more than 55 mm

26
Q

Most common etiology of tricuspid regurgitation

A

Secondary to RV dilationor tricuspid annulus

27
Q

What are the clinical findings in patients with tricuspid regurgitation?

A
Pan systolic murmurs 
Carvallos sign
Systolic pulsation of liver
Marked hepatomegaly 
Vitum sign
28
Q

Which sign is characterised by increased intensity of pan systolic murmurs if you put pressure on right hypochondria region.

A

Vitum sign of tricuspid regurgitation
