Q

What can cause stenosis? What is the result of stenosis?

A
  • Sclerosis, fibrosis, calcification
  • Impedes forward flow creating a pressure overload
  • Results in hypertrophy and HF

Q

What is regurgitation?

A
  • Reversal of flow, valve leaks, fails to close

- Creates a volume overload and results in dilation

Q

What is the grading scale for murmurs?

A
  1. Barely audible
  2. Faint, soft
  3. Louder, easily heard
  4. Very loud with palpable thrill
  5. Heard with stethoscope barely touching the chest with thrill
  6. Can hear without stethoscope or can hear with stethoscope close to chest with palpable thrill

Q

What physical and auscultatory findings are associated with chronic mitral regurgitation?

A
  • Mitral valve prolapse
  • Myxomatous or degeneration or mitral annular calcification
  • Will hear blowing at apex, radiates into left axilla
  • Reduced S1– use diaphragm

Q

What physical and auscultatory findings are associated with tricuspid regurgitation?

A
  • Significant if associated with pulmonary HTN, lung disease, RV infarction, inferior wall MI, IE, pacemaker
  • Blowing systolic murmur hear in 4th ICS LSB: increases on inspiration
  • Prominent V wave in jugular venous pulse

Q

What does the physical exam look like with aortic stenosis?

A
  • Systolic murmur: crescendo-decrescendo
  • Harsh 2nd ICS RSB which radiates into sternal notch/carotids
  • Diminished S2
  • Narrow pulse pressure (140/100)
  • ECG- LVH, strain patter (down sloping of ST segment)
