Cardiology- Congenital, Valvular, Infectious Flashcards
MC Congenital defect
VSD
In VSD a loud murmur means
small defect
1 week old infant with FTT on exam a pansystolic murmur is heard with a palpable thrill EKG shows possible LA abnl dx tx
ECHO demonstrates VSD
symptomatic with diuretics to “buy time”
surgical repair/device closure
3 week old female infant with fixed S2 split and systolic ejection murmur
ASD
Infant born at 27 weeks gestation has poor feeding. On exam bounding peripheral pulses. A machine like grinding murmur is heard best on LSB
Dx
Tx
PDA
can wait, can try indomethacin if neonate
surgical correction
ToF consists of
VSD
Overriding Aorta
Pulmonary Stenosis
RVH
Tx of ToF
Surgery always indicated
-temporize with BT shunt until ready for sx
MC cyanotic congenital heart diease
ToF
Acyanotic shunts are what direction
L to R
Cyanotic shunts are what direction
R to L
Eisenmenger Syndrome is
reversal of L to R shunt (no big deal) to R to L shunt (cyanotic)
- happens with defect lasts long enough for pulm HTN and RVH to happen which leads to reversal of flow
Tx Coarctation of Aorta
simple uncomplicated- balloon angioplasty
otherwise surgical resection
systolic crescendo-descrescendo ejection murmur that radiates to the carotids
Aortic Stenosis
Nocturnal angina and nocturnal dyspnea with diastolic murmur
Aortic Regurgitation
Harsh decrescendo diastolic murmur best at base. De-Musset pulse present
Aortic Regurgitation
How to diagnose all the murmurs…
ECHO
MCC Aortic regurg
Aortic stenosis
Acute aortic regurgitation treatment of choice
vasodilator- sodium nitroprusside
MCC mitral stenosis
rheumatic heart disease
Pt complaining of dyspnea. Tachycardic on exam with a low pitched diastolic murmur heard best at the apex and associated opening snap
Mitral Stenosis
Holosystolic blowing murmur with radiation to the left axilla
Mitral Regurgitation
