CVS Medicine Pulse➡️murmur Flashcards
Components of mitral valve
5 components 2 leaflet ant and post 2 commissure 1 annulus Chordae tendinae 25 primary 2 papillary muscle
Important function of annulus in mitral valve
Provides anchor for leaflet
Annular contraction for leaflet approximation
K a co aptation zone
What happens when annular dilation occurs in mitral valve
Zone of co aptation not formed
Mitral regurgitation
Most common site of prolapse of mitral valve
Posterior leaflet
Attachment of primary secondary tertiary chordae to leaflet
Primary to tip
Secondary to body
Tertiary to base
What is the cause of seconds MR in inferior wall MI
Posteromedial papillary muscle has single blood supply from RCA which also supplies inferior wall
Causes of MS
Most common
Mc rheumatic Other Atrial myxoma left Infective endocarditis Congenital parachute mitral valve
Fish mouth appearance is seen in
It is due to
Seen in MS
due to valve thickening& calcification
chordae and commisure fusion and shortening
Mc site of thrombosis in MS
LA appendage
Classification criteria for severe MS
50/1
More than 50 mm Hg systolic pulmonary artery pressure
Less than 1 cm2 valve surface area
First symptom of MS
Dyspnea on exertion
HR increase, diastolic time increase, LA pressure increase, dyspnea
Why is there RV hypertrophy and pulmonary artery hypertension in MS
LV filling pressure not adequate
LA pressure increase to compensate
Increase pulmonary artery pressure
RVH and Pulmonary HTN
Complications of MS
Atrial fibrillation Recurrent bronchitis Hemoptysis Hoarsness of voice Cough
Ortner syndrome
LA enlargement leads to Left RLN compression causing hoarsness of voice
Mitral facies
In severe MS,
PINK PURPLISH FACE due to decreased cardiac output
Pulse
BP
JVP
In MS
Pulse normal except in atrial fib irregular
BP normal in severe MS narrow pulse pressure
JVP
a wave - pulmonary HTN
v wave Tricuspid regurgitation
Inspection and palpation finding of MS
Parasternal heave
Palpable P2 tapping apex
Heart sounds in MS
S1 loud
S3 loud P2
S3 and S4 not heard in MS
Added sounds - Opening snap
How to assess severity of MS
Duration of murmur
Shorter S2 -OS Interval
Characterstic murmur in MS
Low pitched rough rumbling
Mid diastolic murmur
Heard at apex no radiation
Best heard in expiration
Mitral valve replacement if if echo shows?
Transthoracic echo show
Calcification
Associated MR
Clot
Xray in MS
Enlarged LA
Double density sign due to overlapping of LA RA
Straightening of left heart border
Left main bronchus lifted up- splaying of carena
