55
Q

Mitral Regurg
* Acute

2 things

A

Papillary muscle ischemia or infarction
Papillary muscle rupture

56
Q

Mitral Regurg
* Chronic

ACME

A
  • Annular dilation
  • Chordae incompetance
  • Myxoma
  • Endocarditis

Myoxma: Begnin growth in atria on a stalk that sways in the blood flow getting trapped in the valve not letting it close properly

57
Q

Why does Mitral regurg cause dereased CO?

A

Part of LV contraction is squeezed back in the LA

58
Q

Mitral Regurg: As the blood backs up, what happend?

A

LV Hypertrophy
LHF
Pulmoary edema
RHF

If RHF occurs then we have bi-ventricular failure = death

Mitral regurg is asymptomatic until when?

A

LV enlargement
New onset pulmonary HTN
New onset Afib

60
Q

Mitral regug symptoms

A

DOE
Fatigue

61
Q

What two things can cause a mitral valve prolapse

A
  1. leaflet tenting into LA
  2. connective tissue disorder

Q

What is the most common precursor to Mitral valve regurg?

A

Mitral Valve prolapse

63
Q

Mitral Regurg Anesthestic goals
