CV Disease Pt 1 Flashcards
Coronary Perfusion Pressure = ?
Arterial diastolic pressure - LVEDP (is 5% of CO or 250ml/min)
Maximum coronary flow occurs during _____
Diastole
Auto regulation is between ______ mmHg
50-120
Concentric hypertrophy is d/t?
Chronically elevated afterload (pressure overload)
Eccentric hypertrophy is d/t?
Chronically elevated preload (volume overload)
Beginning of contraction, heart is as big as it gets.
Shows EDPVR & LVEDV where pressure is fairly low.
Indicates compliance
Point B
Ventricle starts relaxing. Ca is releasing from troponin and going back to SR. Shows ESPVR/ regurgitation
Point D
NYHA Classification of heart disease
I. Asymptomatic;
II. Symptoms with ordinary activity, no symptom at rest;
III. Symptoms with minimal activity, no symptoms as rest;
IV. Symptoms at rest
LA pressure in mitral stenosis
25/14
PE mitral stenosis
Opening snap, diastolic murmur, LA»_space; LV pressure during diastole, RV lift, completely normal LV
Mitral stenosis diagnosis:
ECG signs of LA enlargement, RVH;
A fib;
CXR shows straightening of the L heart border;
Dilation of pulmonary veins;
Echo shows narrowed “fish mouth” shaped orifice
Medical therapy for mitral stenosis
Diuretics for pulm congestion, Digoxin, anticoagulant
Anesthetic concerns for Mitral Stenosis
- Slow (low HR to allow time for blood to fill ventricle);
- Regular (sinus rhythm);
- Not too full (maintain preload);
- Not too tight (maintain afterload-SVR);
- Not too strong (maintain contractility)
Pressure-volume loop for mitral stenosis
- Decreased preload;
- Decreased LVEDV;
- Decreased LVEDP;
- Decreased SV;
- Decreased EF
Pressure-volume loop for Mitral Regurgitation
- Increased LVEDV (compensation by LV chronic);
- Increased LVESV;
- Shortening of Isovolumetric contraction phase
How does Mitral Regurgitation cause eccentric LV hypertrophy?
As LV SV is pumped backward into the LA (increasing LAP), the LV compensates by dilating & increasing LVEDV (to maintain CO despite decreased SV). This eventually leads to increased LVESV
PE for Mitral Regurgitation
Diffuse and hyper dynamic ventricular impulse;
Systolic murmur best heard at apex, radiating to axilla, wide splitting S2; S3 d/t volume overload in LA
Large V wave in MR shows?
Decreased atrial and pulmonary compliance and increased pulmonary blood flow & regurgitant volume
Anesthetic concerns for MR
- Fast (high HR 80-100 bc brady worsens regurg);
- Forward (decrease afterload-SVR);
- Regular (maintain SR);
- Not too strong (maintain contractility)
Valve leaflets balloon upwards as the ventricle contracts
Prolapse
Abnormal closure of mitral valve produces what murmur of mitral regurgitation
Holosystolic
Sudden tension in mitral valve prolapse produces?
Mid-systolic click
Anesthetic concerns for mitral valve prolapse:
Avoid agents that increase HR or release histamines.
Select NDNMB that does not have circulatory effect
Pressure-volume loop for aortic stenosis
- Increased afterload;
- Increased LVESP (=200mmHg);
- Increased LVESV;
- Increased LVEDV;
- Decreased SV
What moves the loop to the right in AS?
Increased LVESV is added to incoming venous blood and increases LVEDV (preload). The increase in preload increases the force of contraction (Starling’s law)
What moves the loop upward in AS?
Concentric LVH limits overexpansion of LVEDV but increases LVEDP.
3 clinical symptoms associated with aortic stenosis that indicate poor prognosis:
- Angina w/o CAD d/t decreased O2 supply to the sub-endocardium by decreased ventricular diastolic compliance;
- Syncope and faintness;
- DOE
