Q

Why is CO decreased in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

A

Left ventricular hypertrophy leads to diastolic dysfunction (ventricle cannot fill)

146
Q

Clinical features of mitral regurgitation

A
  • Holosystolic “blowing” murmur
    • Louder with squatting and expiration
  • Volume overload
  • left sided heart failure
147
Q

Causes of dilated cardiomyopathy

A
  • Genetic mutation (usually autosomal dominant)
  • Myocarditis
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Drugs
  • Pregnancy
  • Hemochromotosis
148
Q

Where do vegetations arise in Libman-Sacks endocarditis? What is the result of this?

A

Vegetations are present on the surface and undersurface of the mitral valve and result in mitral regurgitation

149
Q

Decreased flow to ________ leads to activation of renin-angiotensin system.

A

Kidneys

*Fluid retention exacerbates CHF

150
Q

Large ventricular septal defects can lead to __________.

A

Eisenmenger syndrome

151
Q

What trends of elevation does troponin follow in MI?

A
  • Levels rise 2-4 hrs after infarction
  • Peak at 24 hrs
  • Return to normal by 7-10 days
152
Q

What does left-sided heart failure lead to?

A

Ischemia

Hypertension

Dilated cardiomyopathy

MI

Restrictive cardiomyopathy

153
Q

Causes of mitral regurgitation

A

Mitral valve prolapse (most common)

LV dilation

Infective endocarditis

Acute rheumatic heart disease

Papillary muscle rupture after a MI

154
Q

Clinical features of aortic regurgitation

A
  • Early, blowing diastolic murmur
  • Hyperdynamic circulation due to increased pulse pressure
  • Bounding pulse
  • Pulsating nail bed
  • Head bobbing
  • LV dilation
  • Eccentric hypertrophy
155
Q

Ballooning of mitral valve into left artium during systole

A

Mitral valve prolapse
