Ashcoff Bodies
nodules found in the hearts of individuals with rheumatic fever. They result from inflammation in the heart muscle and are characteristic of rheumatic heart disease.
(Anitschkow cells)

Men
Mitral Valve Stenosis Etiology?
- Rheumatic heart disease if Female
- Congenital
Time frame for developing severe Mitral valve stenosis after Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) ?
Minimum of 2 yrs
With MItral Valve Stenosis pressures elevate in the: LA, Pulmonary tree, and Right Heart which lead to ?
Pulmonary Edema & RV Hhypertrophy
Atrial Contraction represents what percentage of C.O?
30%
Mitral stenosis is the only valvular defect which does not affect what ?
LVEDP or LV muscle mass
During ventricular filling (diastole), LAP exceeds LVP gnerated by what?
Stenosis
Treatment for a patient with mitral valve stenosis who is Asymptomatic ?
Just follow that patient
Treatment for a patient with mitral valve stenosis who is Symptomatic ?
- Balloon Valvuloplasty
- Open commissurotomy
- Valve replacement
Mechanical
Bio-prosthetic
CBP concerns for a patient with Mitral Valve Stenosis?
- Hypervolemic
- Bicaval cannulation
- CLP required for myocardial protection
- Dearing should not be excessive,
the heart is normal size.
Chronic MR patient LA presentation ?
↑ LA pressures /slow LA adaptation = ↑ compliance
↑ PA pressure & PAWP
LV Dilation
- Enable ↑ SV to enable forward flow
- ↑ LVEDP (mild)
Acute MR patient LA presentation ?
LA is non-compliant
- Rapid change in LA pressure = rapid ↑ in pulmonary congestion
- Pulmonary Edema present
Chronic MR patient LV presentation ?
LV Dilation
- Enable ↑ SV to enable forward flow
- ↑ LVEDP (mild)
Acute MR patient LV presentation ?
The LV has not had time to distend and hypertrophy which creates a decrease in forward flow.
** EMERGENT CASES ****
During ventricular contractions (systole), the left ventricle eject blood back into ?
LA & Aorta, thereby increasing the LAP
particularly the V wave
CPB considerations with patients who suffer from CHRONIC MR?
- Hypervolemic
- Bicaval cannulation
- Venous air is normal due to retraction.
- Increased needs of Myocardial protection due to LVH,
even more with co-existing CAD. - De-airing is critical
CPB considerations with patients who suffer from ACUTE MR?
- Hypovolemic due to resuscitation efforts.
- Bicaval cannulation
- Venous air is normal due to retraction.
- Warm induction for myocardial protection.
- De-airing is critical
Mitral valve prolapse AKA
Floppy valve syndrome. It allows backflow of blood into the LA causing progressive enlargement.
3 - 5% of the population with 97% being asymptomatic describes what disease ?
Mitral valve prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse presents in pts between 20 - 40 y/o. It is most common in ?
Women
Etiology of Aortic Valve Disease ?
- RHD
- Congenital AV Disease

During ventricular ejection, LVP exceeds AP in patients with ?
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Hemodynamic Changes of AS ?
- LV hypertrophy (LVH)
- Elevation of LVEDP
- LV dilation
LV dilation may occur when contractile state of myocardium becomes depressed
LVEDP continues to rise
LA pressure rises
PA pressure rises
Eventual RV failure
CPB concerns with patients who have Aortic Valve Stenosis ?
- Hypovolemic with ↑SVR
- Single 2-Stage cannulation

Aortic Root Disease can be a result of the following syndromes?
Marfan’s
Cystic Medial Necrosis
Syphilitic aortitis
HTN
Describe the hemodynamics during Aortic Valve Regugitation ?
During ventricular relaxation, blood flows backwards from the Ao into the LV. Aortic systolic pressure increases, Aortic diastolic pressure decreases, pulse pressure increases, and LAP increases.
Chronic AI patient presentation ?
