Cardiac diseases + valves Flashcards
Mitral regurg causes
Functional, annular calcification, rheumatic fever, IE
Mitral valve prolapse, ruptured chordae tendinae
Cardiomyopathy, connective tissue disorders
Appetite suppressants
Symptoms of Mitral regurg
Dyspnoea
Fatigue
Palpitations
Symptoms of causative factor
Signs of Mitral regurg
AF
Displaced, hyperdynamic apex
Pansystolic murmur at apex radiating to the axilla
Management of mitral regurg
Rate control B-blocker or rate limiting Ca blocker Add digoxin Then consider amiodarone Do not give b-blockers with verapamil Anticoagulate Prosthetic valve Diuretics to improve symptoms
Mitral valve prolapse causes
Very common Alone ASD, patent ductus arteriosus Cardiomyopathy Turner’s syndrome / Marfan’s Osteogenesis imperfecta WPW
Treatment for mitral valve prolapse
Beta-blockers help palpitations and chest pain
Surgery if severe
Causes of Mitral stenosis
Rheumatic fever, congenital
Mucopolysaccharidoses
Prosthetic valve
Malignant carcinoid
Signs of Mitral stenosis
Malar flush Tapping, non-displaced apex beat Fatigue, palpitations Chest pain Systemic emboli IE
Sounds of Mitral stenosis
Loud S1
Opening snap
Rumblish mid-diastolic murmur heard on expiration
Sounds of Mitral valve prolapse
Mid-systolic click or late systolic murmur
Sounds of mitral regurg
Pansystolic murmur at apex
Soft S1
Split S1
Loud P2
Sounds of aortic stenosis
Aortic thrill
Ejection systolic murmur
Sounds of Aortic sclerosis
Ejection systolic murmur
Sounds of aortic regurgitation
High pitched early diastolic murmur
Quincke’s sign
Causes of Aortic stenosis
Senile calcification, rheumatic heart disease
Causes of aortic sclerosis
Senile degeneration of the valve
Causes of acute Aortic regurg
IE
Ascending aortic dssection
Chest trauma
Causes of chronic aortic regurg
Congenital, connective tissue disorder
Takayasu arteritis, rheumatoid, SLE
