A

Aortic Stenosis

(55:00)

63
Q

67
Q

When will coronary perfusion be the greatest?

When will coronary perfusion be the lowest?

A

During diastole (↑ΔP = more perfusion)

During systole, aortic pressure almost equals ventricular pressure, small delta P.

68
Q

When will you see retrograde perfusion in the coronary artery?

A
  1. Increased ventricular filling
  2. Increased coronary perfusion
70
Q

How will aortic stenosis affect coronary perfusion?

A
  • ↓coronary perfusion from AS.
  • ↓SV from ↑ ventricular pressure.
  • Lower SV = ↑HR = less time in diastole for coronary filling.
71

72
Q

A

~ 321.43 grams

74
Q

What will be the resting coronary blood flow for a heart that weighs 300 grams?

A

210 mL/min

70ml/min/100grams x 300 grams =
210 mL/min

75
Q

When will you find the peak flow of coronary perfusion?

A

At the beginning of diastole where ventricle pressure is the lowest and coronary vessels are wide open.

76
Q

Which coronary artery will have more consistent perfusion? Why?

A

Right coronary artery because it feeds the right heart which has lower wall pressures.

77
Q

Which heart valve problem will have trouble with filling?

A

Mitral valve stenosis

78
Q

How does the body compensate for mitral valve stenosis?

What will be the consequence of this?

A

The body will help out filling by expanding blood volume. Increasing preload in the left heart, by increasing pulmonary venous pressure.

Increasing CVP and afterload in the right heart.

79
Q

Which cardiac chamber is least affected by mitral valve stenosis?

A

Left ventricle will not be affected.

80
Q

Which way will the pressure-volume loop be shifted in mitral valve stenosis?

A

Shift left (lower intraventricular volume)

81
Q

What kind of axis deviation would you expect in mitral valve stenosis?

A

Right axis deviation due to RV hypertrophy.
(90:30)

82
Q

Mitral valve stenosis will expand out the __________.

A

Left atrium

83
Q

A stretched left atria will result in a what EKG change?

A

prolonged p-wave on the EKG

84
Q

What will happen if someone with mitral valve stenosis is experiencing atrial fibrillation?

A

Severe decrease in filling = ↓↓↓ CO

85
Q

What happens if someone with mitral valve stenosis is experiencing tachycardia?

A

Decreased period of diastole will shorten the time the heart needs to fill the ventricles.

86
Q

What can cause mitral stenosis?

A

Rheumatic Fever
Strep Infection

87
Q

Where is the blood going during systole in mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Blood will be pushed into the left atrium.

88
Q

What is the normal venous return to the heart per beat?

What does that mean for the left atria with mitral valve regurgitation?

What does it mean for LV EDV?

A

70 cc

The left atria will have more than 70 mL in the chamber d/t to blood being backed up during systole.

This means there will be enhanced filling for the LV EDV.

89
Q

_______% of people with coronary artery disease will have mitral regurgitation.

A

10-20%

90
Q

Less than _______ mL of backward flow will be considered mild mitral regurgitation

A

less than 30 mL is mild mitral regurgitation.

91
Q

Between ______ and ______ mL of backward flow will be considered mid-grade mitral regurgitation.

A

30 to 60 mL is midgrade mitral regurgitation

92
Q

Greater than _______ mL of backward flow will be considered severe mitral regurgitation

A

Greater than 60 mL is severe or end-stage mitral regurgitation

93
Q

What are two ways to reduce mitral valve regurgitant blood flow?

A

Decrease afterload = decrease ventricular pressure.

Being slightly tachycardiac (80-90bpm) will decrease time in systole thus decreasing the time of high ventricular pressure

94
Q

What is the consequence of an increased time in systole with mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Increased regurgitation into the left atrium

95
Q

What do you want to avoid in mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Avoid Bradycardia

96
Q

In mitral valve regurgitation, the left atria is being filled from what two places?

A

Venous return from the pulmonary veins
Regurgitation from the left ventricle

(This will result in the left atrium being stretched out, increasing risk of atrial fibrillation)

97
Q

In aortic regurgitation, the left ventricle is being filled from what two places?

A

Filling from the left atria
Filling from aortic regurgitation

Increases left ventricular volume

98
Q

What shift will occur in the pressure-volume loop with aortic regurgitation?

A

Shift right (higher intraventricular volume)

99
Q

What will be the body’s innate response to aortic regurgitation?

A

Constrict blood vessels to maintain arterial blood pressure

(This will unfortunately increase the amount of regurgitation d/t to increase afterload. More blood will move in the wrong direction.)

100
Q

How will a decrease in afterload affect aortic valve regurgitation?

A

Less regurgitation

101
Q

How will intraventricular pressure compare to normal in aortic stenosis?

A

There will be a higher intraventricular pressure in aortic stenosis.

(115:00)

102
Q

What will happen to pulse pressure with aortic stenosis?

What will happen to BP?

A

Decrease pulse pressure downstream from the bad valve.

Blood pressure may decrease.

103
Q

What will happen to stroke volume in aortic stenosis?

A

↓ SV

104
Q

What will be the compensatory mechanism for aortic stenosis?

A

↑HR to compensate for decreased SV to maintain CO.

105
Q

Aortic stenosis will cause problems with coronary perfusion which will put patients at increased risk for _________.

A

Myocardial Infarctions

106
Q

What type of heart wall thickening happens with aortic stenosis?

A

Concentric Hypertrophy of the LV
Thickening of heart walls via the addition of parallel sarcomeres

107
Q

What conditions will cause eccentric hypertrophy?

A
  • Aortic valve regurgitation
  • Mitral valve regurgitation

Eccentric hypertrophy is the addition of sarcomeres in series, resulting in elongated (dilated) heart walls

108
Q

How will preload be affected by concentric hypertrophy?

A

There will need to be a higher preload to fill the blood with a normal amount of volume due to decreased compliance (thick muscles).

109
Q

Differentiate concentric hypertrophy vs eccentric hypertrophy at the cellular level.

A
  • Concentric Hypertrophy = sarcomeres in parallel.
  • Eccentric Hypertrophy = sarcomeres in series.
