Q

What are the complications of hypertension

A

Left ventricular hypertrophy
Ischemic heart disease
Congestive heart failure
Arterial aneurysm (aorta, cerebral)
Stroke
ESRD

19
Q

Cerebral Autoregulation Curve

A

Describes the range of blood pressures where cerebral perfusion remains constant

*Chronic hypertension shifts the curve to the RIGHT

This helps the brain tolerate a higher range of blood pressures

However, it can not tolerate lower blood pressures

Blood pressures past the range of autoregulation is pressure dependent
Malignant HTN  hemorrhagic stroke/cerebral edema
Hypotension  cerebral hypoperfusion

20
Q

What is constrictive pericarditis?

A

Fibrosis or any condition where the pericardium becomes thicker

During diastole, ventricles cannot relax fully  reduces compliance and limits filling  ventricular pressure increases and creates a back pressure on peripheral circulation

Ventricles adapt by increasing myocardial mass

21
Q

What is the cause of constrictive pericarditis?

A

Cancer (radiation), cardiac surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, TB, uremia

22
Q

Signs & Symptoms of constrictive pericarditis

A

Kussmauls sign – JVD during inspiration

Pulsus Paradoxes - decreased SBP by 10 mmHg during inspiration

Increased venous pressure – distended neck veins, hepatomegaly, ascites, peripheral edema

Atrial dysrhythmias

Pericardial shock

23
Q

Little bit about the pericardium

A

Pericardium surrounds the heart and provides a minimal friction environment
Composed of 2 layers that are separated by 10-15 ml of clear fluid
Visceral layer is attached to myocardium
Parietal layer is attached to the mediastinum

24
Q

Treatment for pericarditis

A

Pericardiotomy (Hemorrhage and dysrhythmias common)

Cardiac output is dependent on HR*
Avoid bradycardia

Preserve HR and contractility

*Ketamine and Pancuronium are good

Opioids, benzos, etomidate are okay

Caution with volatile anesthetics

Maintain afterload

25
Q

What is acute Pericarditis?

A

Usually from result of inflammation

Does NOT impair diastolic filling unless inflammation leads to constrictive pericarditis or tamponade

Caused by: Infection (viral most common)
Dressler’s Syndrome (inflammation from necrotic myocardium s/p MI)
SLE
Scleroderma
Trauma
Cancer (radiation)

26
Q

Signs and symptoms of acute pericarditis

A

Acute chest pain with pleural component
- Increased pain with inspiration and postural
changes

Pain relieved by leaning forward

Pericardial friction rub

ST elevation with normal enzymes

Fever

27
Q

Treatment for acute pericarditis

A

Usually resolves spontaneously

Drugs to manage symptoms:
Salicylates
Oral analgesics
corticosteroids

28
Q

Describe tamponade

A

Accumulation of fluid inside the pericardium  pericardial pressure high enough to compress myocardium  interferes with the hearts ability to fill and act like a pump

As ventricular compliance deteriorates, left & right diastolic pressures (CVP & PAOP) begin to equalize
Increased pericardial pressure compresses the heart

Increased LV pressure

Decreased ventricular volume = decreased SV, decreased CO, increased HR

29
Q

What happens to CO, SV, and HR with tamponade?

A

decreased SV, decreased CO, increased HR

30
Q

Signs and symptoms of tamponade

A

Becks Triad:
Hypotension, JVD, Muffled heart tones

Pulses Paradoxes:
Decreased SBP by 10 mmHg during inspiration

Kussmaul’s Sign
Increased CVP and JVD during inspiration

Reduced EKG voltage
Compression of heart, lungs, trachea, and esophagus d/t mass effect

31
Q

What drugs can you give for anesthesia plan for tamponade

A

Drugs that are safer:
Ketamine
Nitrous oxide
Benzodiazepines
Opioids

Drugs to AVOID:
Halogenated agents
Propofol
Thiopental
High dose opioids
Neuraxial anesthesia

32
Q

What is Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy also called?

A

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy

Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis

33
Q

What is Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

A

Most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults

LVOT obstruction caused by:
Congenital hypertrophy of intraventricular septum
Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of anterior leaflet of mitral valve

34
Q

When is SAM likely to occur and how is it diagnosed?

A

Occur after mitral valve repair and diagnosed by TEE

35
Q

When does SAM occur?

A

When the ventricle contracts forcefully or quickly -
greater tendency of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve to reduce flow through or completely obstruct the LVOT

Occurs during systole

Problem is proximal to aortic valve, not the valve itself

36
Q

Most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults

A

Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy / SAM

37
Q

Do we want to distend or narrow the LVOT?

A

DISTEND!

38
Q

What distends the LVOT?

A

↑ Systolic volume
(↑ preload or ↓HR)
↓ Contractility
↑ Ao Pressure

39
Q

What narrows the LVOT?

A

↓Systolic volume
(↓preload or ↑ HR)
↑ Contractility
↓ Ao Pressure

40
Q

What is infective endocarditis?

A

Bacteria enters the bloodstream and find their way to a heart valve, chamber, or blood vessel

41
Q

These are at risk for infective endocarditis and should receive pre-op abx

A

Previous infective endocarditis

Prosthetic heart valve

Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease

Repair congenital heart defect if repair < 6 months old

Repaired congenital heart disease with residual defects that have impaired endothelialization at the graft site

42
Q

infective endocarditis abx not required for

A

CABG, Coronary stent placement, Unrepaired cardiac valve disease including mitral valve prolapse

43
Q

Infective endocarditis increased risks

A

Dental procedures involving gingival manipulation and/or damage to mucosal lining

Respiratory procedures that perforate the mucosal lining

44
Q

Infective endocarditis ABX prophylaxis ___ required for: GI endoscopic procedures w/o infection and GU procedures without infection

A

ABX prophylaxis not required for: GI endoscopic procedures w/o infection and GU procedures without infection
