Exam 2 heart part II gomez Flashcards
what can infective endocardtitis lead to
bulky friable vegetations
destruction of underlying structures (valves)
risk of systemic microemboli
usually L valves
What organisms are most common to cause infective endocarditis
S viridans> S aureus> HACEK (haemophilus, actinobacillus, cardiobacterium, eikenella, kingella)
What valve is affected in IV drug abusres
the right
what organism is the #1 culprit for infective endocarditis with an artifical valve
S epidermidis
Describe Acute bacterial endocarditis
rapildy progressive destruction
highly virulent vacteria
50% die in days or weeks with onset Sx
Describe subacture bacterial endocarditis
insidious onset and protracted clinical course
involved valve usually deformed or abnormal
low virulence bacteria like S viridans
most recover with antibiotic Tx
What are the major clinical criteria for Dx infective endocarditis
3 blood cultures in 24 hours (has to be +)
echocardiographic findings like mass or absecess
new murmur from regurgitation
What is the combination of Clinical criteria to Dx infective endocarditis
2 major, 1 major +3 minor or 5 minor
what are the minor findings of infective endocarditis
predisposing heart lesion or IV drug use fever vascular lesions immunologic phenomena microbiologic evidence echocardiographic findings not Dx of endocarditis
What is nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis NBTE
valvular lesions that have no microorganisms
what is the major risk factor of NBTE nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
hypercoagulable state (debilitated patients with malignancy, DIC or sepsis)
what could occur because of NBTE
fragment and produce systemic emboli which could obstruct coronary aa or brain vasculature
what is marantic endocarditis
another name for NBTE in debilitated patients
What is Libman Sacks disease
Endocarditis of SLE
1-4 mm steril vegetaions on any surface
usually mitral and tricuspid
What SLE patients are at risk for libman sachs disease
with lupus anticoagulant (antiphospholipid Ab syndrome)
how do you differentiate NBTE and SLE endocarditis
SLE associated will be in many places in heart
NBTE is on sides of valve leaflets
How do you differentiate acute rheumatic heart disease endocarditis and infective endocarditis
acute rheumatic heart disease is marked by small warty verrucae along lines of closure of valve leaflets
infective endocarditis shows large irregular masses on valve cusps that can extend to chordae
What is carcinoid syndrome caused by
metastatic carcinoid tumor producing serotonins 5HT, kallikrein, bradykinin, histamine, PG
what does carcidnoid syndromer esult in
diarrhea, flushing, skin rash, bronchoconstriction and fibrous thickening of endocardial surfaces or right herat
where does the endocardial thickening tend to take place in carcinoid heart disease
right ventricle, tricuspid and pulmonic valves
what are the cons about mechanical prosthetic heart valces
require anticoagulation and cause mechanical hemolysis
what are complications of cardiac valve prostheses
thrombosis/thromboembolism anticoagulant-related hemorrhage prosthetic valve endocarditis structural deterioration in adequate or excessive healing
majority of cardiomyopathies are primary or seconday?
primary or idiopathic
not secondary
What are the 3 groups of cardiomyopathies
dilated (90%)
hypertrophic
restrictive
what is restrictive cardiomyopathy
mild increase in cardiac mass without increase in volume of left ventricle
hwo do you differentiate idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy from myocarditis secondary to virus
endomyocardial biopsy
what are toxins associated with heart muscle disease
alcohol, cobalt, catecholamines, CO, lithium, hydrocarbons, arsenic, cyclophosphamide
doxorubicin
what metabolic conditions are associated wtih hear muscle disease
hyperthyroidism hypothyroidism hyper and hypo kalemia nutritional deficiencies hemochromatosis
what are the major causes of myocarditis in US
coxsackieviruses A and B
lyme disease
HS eosinophlic
trichinosis
What is the major cause of myocarditis in south america
Chagas disease (trypanosoma cruzi) Brazil it is more common than ischemic heart disease
what type of cardiomyopathies have an impairement in compliance, “diastolic dysfunction”
hypertrophic and restrictive
what can cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
amyloidosis, radiation induced fibrosis
what are janeway lesions
small erythematous or hemorrhagic nontender lsesions on palms and soles from septic emboli events
endocarditis
what are osler nodes
small tendet subcutansoue nodules in pulp of digits or more proximally on fingers and persist for hours to days
endocarditis
what are roth spots
oval retinal hemorrhages with pale centers
endocarditis
what viruses can cause dilated cardiomyopathy
coxsackie B and other enteroviruses
