Cardio: Valvular Diseases - Mitral Regurgitation Flashcards
Papillary muscle involved in mitral regurgitation after Acute MI
posteromedial papillary muscle
MR in which leaflets and chordae tendinae are primarily responsible
a. Primary
b. Secondary
A
MR but leaflets and chordae tendinae are normal
a. Primary
b. Secondary
B
MR due to LV remodeling with consequent annular enlargement, papillary muscle displacement, leaflet tethering
a. Primary
b. Secondary
B
Effect of Rheumatic fever on mitral valve (6)
DR2. C2SF Deformity Rigidity Retraction of cusps Commissural fusion Contraction Shortening Fusion of chordae tendinae
Congenital anomalies with MR (2)
Endocardial cushion defects (AVSD)
ASD
ASD associated with MR
Ostium primum
Characteristic of valvular involvement after radiation
leaflet thickening, retraction, calcification, with annular and chordal involvement
Chronic MR is frequently secondary to _____
Ischemia
True of MR associated with HOCM except
a. Dynamic in nature
b. dependent on systolic motion of the posterior mitral valve leaflet into a narrowed LV outflow track
c. Both
d. Neither
B; posterior
True of MR EXCEPT
a. MR begets MR
b. Initial compensation to MR is complete LV emptying
c. LV volume increase progressively with time
d. LV volume decrease as contractile function deteriorates
D
True of MR except
a. LV size decrease during systole initially
b. Later, there is decrease in forward cardiac output
c. LV diastolic pressure increase early in the course of MR
d. Regurgitant volume varies directly with LV systolic pressure
C; late
In MR, regurgitant orifice is influnced by extent of ____ and ___ dilation
LV, mitral annular
Ejection fraction is _____ in severe MR
a. Increase
b. Decrease
A
Decrease in EF (<60%) reflects
significant contractile dysfunction
In Chronic severe MR,
regurgitant vol:
> =60ml/beat
In Chronic severe MR,
regurgitant fraction:
> =50%
enlarged LA
a. Acute severe MR
b. Chronic severe MR
c. Both
B; normal LA in acute severe MR
marked increase in LA pressures for any increase in LA vol
a. Acute severe MR
b. Chronic severe MR
c. Both
A; in Chronic severe MR, increase in LA compliance with little if any increase in LA and pulmonary venous pressure
v wave with LA pressure pulse usually prominent
a. Acute severe MR
b. Chronic severe MR
c. Both
A; in chronic severe, it is less prominent
In acute severe MR, there is rapid rise in LA pressures during ______
ventricular systole
Characteristic of acute MR murmur
early
decrescendo
end before s2
