Narrowing of the aortic valve
pathoms-80
2
Q
Cause of aortic stenosis ?
A
- Fibrosis
- Dystrophic calcification
- Wear & tear
2
Q
Murmur type in aortic stenosis ?
A
Crescendro-decrescendo
systolic ejection click
2
Q
Pathogenesis of AS ?
A
Space between orifice dec
= no fusion of commisure
3
Q
AS vs CRHD ?
A
CRHD = Fusion of commissures
AS= NO fusion
4
Q
Complications of AS ?
A
- LV hypertrophy
- Angina
- Syncope
- LVH —— Cardiac failure
5.iMicroangiopathic hemolytic anemia -
6.RBC dec = producing SCHISTOCYTES
5

Clinical features of MS ?
A
- Pulmonary congestion = Edema + Alveolar hemorrhage
- Pulmonary HTN = Right sided HF
- Atrial fibrillation = Mural thrombi
