Aortic And Tricuspid Reg. Flashcards
Name 2 types of etiologies for aortic regurgitation?
Valvular deformities
Aortic root deformities
Name 4 valvular etiology of aortic regurgitation?
Rheumatic heart disease
Infective endocarditis
Congenital bicuspid Aortic valve
Congenital membranous sub aortic stenosis
Name the most common etiology of aortic regurgitation?
Rheumatic heart disease
Name 4 aortic root abnormalities of aortic regurgitation?
Marfans syndrome Osteogenesis imperfeca Ankylosing spondylitis Severe HPN Syphilis
What are the two hemodynamic abnormalities in aortic regurgitation?
Decreased DBP(imapired forward flow) Increased SBP(increased ejection volume)
What is the hemodynamic abnormality causing allthe clinical findings?
Wide pulse pressure
Give all signs present in aortic regurgitation?
Durozeizs sign Corrigans pulse Water hammer pulse Demussits signs Hills sing Rosenbach sign Muller sign Traubes sign Gerhard sign Quinckies sign Beckers sign Austin flint murmur
A sign of aortic regurgitation characterised by visible arterial pulsation and also presence of systolic and diastolic murmurs on femoral artery compression?
Durozeiz sign
A sign of aortic regurgitation characterised by visible carotid pulse?
Corrigan sign
Name a sign characterised when checking radial pulse with arm raised?
Water hammer pulse
Name a sign present in aortic regurgitation characterised by nodding of head during systole?
Demussits sign
A sign characterised by exaggeration of SBP between femoral artery and brachial artery?
Hills sign
A sign of aortic regurgitation characterised by presence of double tone in femoral artery on light palpation?
Traubes sign
Aortic regurgitation sign characterised by pulsatile liver?
Rosenbach sign
Aortic regurgitation with pulsatillae spleen?
Gerhard sign
Visible pulsations on finger nailbed in aortic regurgitation is characteristic of which sign?
Quinckies sign
Sign of accentuated retinal artery pulsation in aortic regurgitation
Beckers sign
Presence of pulsatile uvula?
Mullers sign
Explain austin flint murmurs?
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.
Wide pulse pressure are seen in which all conditions?
Aortic regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation PDA VSD Fever Anemia Thyrotoxicosis Pregnancy AV fistula Exercise Complete heart block Anxiety
What is the ECG finding on aortic regurgitation?
Narrow deep Q waves in leftprecordial leads.due to left ventricular hypertrophy with volume overload
What is the CXR finding in aortic regurgitation?
Ledt ventricular and aortic regurgitation.
What is 2D ECHO finding in aortic regurgitation?
Dilated left ventricle
Left ventricular overload
Flutter of anterior mitral valve leaflet
Treatment of aortic regurgitation?
Diuretics ACE inhibitors Vasodilator drugs Salt restrictions Aortic valve replacement
