chronic CV pt 2 Flashcards
left sided HF symptoms
dyspnea
cough
crackles
respiratory distress
A fib
S3
murmurs
pulm congestion on CXR
right sided HF
edema
fluid retention
hepatic congestion
nausea
increased CVP
JVD
ascites
S3/S4
HF cardinal features
parasternal lift
displaced PMI
diminished S1
S3 gallop
S4 gallop (diastolic HF)
BNP indicative of HF
> 400
HFrEF meds
vasodilators - ACE/arb
diuretics - loop
B-blockers (later)
non-pharm mgmt for HFrEF
na restriction <2300
case mgmt
palliative care
ICD/pacer if EF <35
LVAD/RVAD
coronary revascularization
transplant
HFpEF mgmt
correct reversible causes
manage BP, A fib
SGLT2, diuretics, ACE/ARB
murmur grading
I - barely audible
II - audible but faint
III - moderately loud; easily heard
IV - loud, associated with a thrill
V - loudest (off chest)
diastolic murmurs
mitral stenosis
aortic regurg
systolic murmurs
mitral regurg
aortic stenosisi
MRASS
mitral regurg
s3 with systolic murmur at apex (5th ICS MCL)
may radiate to base or left axilla
musical, blowing, high pitched
decreased with standing, valsalva, increased with squatting
aortic stenosis
2nd right ICS
usually radiates to neck
blowing, rough, harsh
mitral stenosisi
5th ICS, MCL
loud s1, mid-diastolic, low-pitched, crescendo rumble
increased in L lateral, squatting, valsalva
aortic regurg
2nd L ICS, RSB
blowing
basic principles for valvular HD
manage RF! HTN, HLD, DM
lifestyle
oral health
vaccinations
mitral stenosis mgmt
anticoagulation (warfarin) if A fib, or embolic event
HR control
valve replacement/repair or balloon valvotomy
diagnostic for valvular disorders
TTE
