-PCN Prophylaxis
Mitral Stenosis (“MS”)
• Primarily affects_______-
• Almost always_______in origin
– 50% of “MS” pts. have pos. Hx. ARhF ~ 20-30 yrs. prior
• Elderly pt.s – can b caused by ____________
what type of MS is rare ?
-females
- rheumatic in origin
-calcification of valve
Congenital
Pathologic features of Mitral Stenosis
-** Fibrous thickening and calcification of valve leaflets
– ***Fusion of commissures
– Thickening and SHORTENING of CHORDAE tendineae
Normal valve orifice: (mitral ) siz
4-6 cm^2
Pathologic valve orifice size
<2 cm^2
Pathologic valve when do you get symptoms
< 1.5cm^2
If LA pressure is > 25mmHg – Mitral area is _____cm^2.. If this high pressure can lead to __________
< 1 cm2; PULMONARY HTN
Back pressure to lungs > 25mmHg fluid
leaks into interstitial space = Pulmonary Edema
***–> ↓ lung compliance and ↑ W.O.B. (lymphatic can partially compensate
***Mitral Stenosis – Anesthesia Goals (MHTN notach)
Maintain: HR?Afterload? rhythm?
Avoid 3 things (HTN)
And avoid drugs that _______such as ____
Maintain Normal – Low HR; Normal Afterload; NSR
- Hypervolemia
–Trendelenberg position
–NO2 =↑ Pulm. Vasc. Resist.
- NO Drugs that can cause Tachy. (Pancuronium, Ketamine)
For Mitral Stenosis: If pt. has Intra-op. Tachy. Control with:
3 interventions (except
OBD
- *1. Opioids (except Meperidine = Tachy.)
2. ↑ Depth of Anesthesia
3: Beta blockers
_______and ________okay to use if BP ↓↓ (these don’t ↑ HR) For Mitral Stenosis
Phenylephrine or Vasopressin
Epidural vs. Spinal which one is preferred and why?
Epidural preferred – has less dramatic ↓ in sympathetic
activity
Mitral Stenosis Treatment (AwBCDD)
*** Diuretics for pulmonary congestion
• **β blockers, **Ca++ channel blockers or **Digoxin to control HR
• Anticoagulation if A-fib present
– Warfarin (INR 2.5 – 3.0)
Mitral Stenosis :Surgery if symptoms persist with above treatments
Percutaneous Ballon VALVULOPLASTY
Mitral regurgitation (Mrs3-PMA)___ may be present
• _______murmur heard at apex that radiates to
the_________
S3
Pansystolic murmur; axilla
Mitral Regurgitation Treatment (DVABB)
• Acute MR
– IV diuretics** to relieve pulmonary edema
– **Vasodilators to reduce resistance to forward flow
• Sodium nitroprusside
– Ace-i, β blockers, Biventricular pacing
Chronic Mitral Regurgitation Treatment
When is surgery recommended?
– Surgery recommended before Ejection Fraction <60% to avoid further LV impairment/failure
Mitral Regurgitation Which Anesthesia preferred.
(remember 2 gs in regurg)
______Optional why not?
General
***Neuraxial optional, but dramatic sympathetic decreases
can result in ↓↓↓ BP
Aortic Stenosis 3 factors with developement (ACR)
- **Aging: fibrosis/degeneration and calcification
- **Congenital: bicuspid vs. tricuspid↑turbulence/damage – - **RHEUMATIC VALVE DISEASE
Aortic Stenosis Pathophysiology SECOMIASC
Stenotic valve = ↓ C.O.
Elevated LV pressures =Ventricular Hypertrophy
Compression of coronary arteries
↓O2 supply; ↑O2 demand
Myocardial ischemia /Angina, Syncope, HF
•Initial compensatory mechanism is ↑LV press.
•AS develops over a chronic course.
•Concentric hypertrophy reduces wall compliance
resulting in a “stiff” LV
**Aortic Stenosis – Anesthesia Goals (MWAT)
Drugs to avoid VDN
Maintain NSR
• Watch for A-fib or Jct. Rhythm (CHF and Hypotension)
• Avoid hypotensive drugs.
– Vasodilators, diuretics, nitroglycerin
**Treat Hypotension aggressively!**
2 main Causes of Aortic Regurgitation
Abnormality of valve leaflets
Dilatation of Aortic Root
***AR: Abnormalities of valve leaflets (CRE)
Congenital (bicuspid)
Rheumatic
Endocarditis
AR: Dilatation of Aortic Root
Aortic Aneurysm
Aortic Dissection
Annuloaortic Ectasia
Syphillis
What is the hallmark of Aortic Regurgitation? What causes it? SV is \_\_\_\_\_\_ SBP \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Aortic Diastolic P \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Widened pulse pressure is HALLMARK
– From : (3) Increased SV Increased SBP Decreased Aortic Diastolic Pressure.
Decrescendo S2 murmur (S2 AM)
– Aortic diastolic press. falls (blue arrow)
– Murmur begins at S2 with regurg.
Aortic Regurgitation there is _________And _________ murmur
Widened pulse pressure
Descrescendo S2 murmur
SLE
Affect tissue in the body
CONNECTIVIE TISSUE
LUPUS Causes damage to connective
May cause Choardae tendiane to rupture
Aortic Regurgitation

– w/o surgery death usually occurs_______
ejection fraction <50%:
within 4 yrs.
Aortic Regurg. – Anesthesia Goals (MRA) M --> R--> A--> AVOID WHAT DRUG in AORTIC REGURG and WHY
Muscle Relaxants : Pancuronium (vagolytic, maintain increase HR)
**AVOID SUCCINYLCHOLINE (can cause Bradycardia)
Reduce Afterload
Nifedipine or Hydralazine•↓ ventricular reflux; ↑ forward flow
5. For Acute Exacerbations Nitroprusside and Positive inotropic (ex. Dobutamine)
Tricuspid valve : usually _______rather than ________, resulting from _____enlargement secondary to
Usually functional rather than structural, resulting
from RV enlargement 2o to pulmonary HTN,
rather than primary valve ds
Prosthetic Valves

• Staph AUREUS usual causative organism
• May occur on previously healthy valves
Endocarditis **Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis (SBE) LSO
• Less virulent
• Strep VIRIDANS usual causative organism
• Often occurs in pts. w/ prior underlying valve
damage
***ENDOCARDITIS: Pathogenesis requires several conditions: (ETBA)
- 1 – endocardial surface injury
