- What kind of pulses and sounds can be heard?
What are the three causes of organic mitral regurge that are most common?
What findings on the X-ray are indicated of mitral stenosis?
- Chest radiograph showing generalized cardiac enlargement
- Left-sided heart enlargement
- Usually left atrium but can be left ventricle. This patient has both.
- Left-sided heart enlargement
- On the lateral view, the enlarged left atrium indents the esophagus
What is cardiac cachexia?
What are the two causes of functional mitral regurge that she told us to remember?

- What type of drugs are the first line of treatment when patients also have ischemic heart disease or dilated CM?
- What is the recommended treatment for MR due to
- MVP
- RHD
Mitral Stenosis: Treatment and Outcomes
- Of the surgeries, which has the highest operative mortality percentage and which has the lowest
Mitral Regurgitation: Etiology
- MR results from an abnormality of one of the 5 functional components of the Mitral Valve apparatus. What are these 5 components?
- Of these operations, what has the highest operative mortality percentage and what has the lowest?
How does Mitral Stenosis and decreased mitral valve area affect diastolic filling of the left ventricle?
Mitral Stenosis: PE Findings
- What PE findings would indicate that a patient with mitral stenosis has an enlarged right ventricle?
- What happens when the right ventricle begins to fail?
Mitral Stenosis: Symptoms
- What are the physiological reasons for the dyspnea, fatigue, and cough symptoms associated with Mitral Stenosis?
- What kind of heart rhythm can develop, and what can this type of rhythm lead to?
