Heart mumurs n shiz Flashcards
Aortic Stenosis - Aetiology/causes
- Age related calcification
- RhF & IE
- William’s Bicuspid aortic valve
Marfans, Ehler-danlos syndrome
Aortic Stenosis - signs and symptoms
- ASYMPTOMATIC
- SOB, syncope on exertion, Anigina, LHF, palpitations
- Narrow Pulse Pressure
- Thrill felt
- Slow rising pulse (pulsus parvus et tardus)
- EJECTION SYSTOLIC MURMUR that may radiate to the carotids and apex
- Crescendo-decrescendo
- v severe: S2 split (comes after pulmonary valve closer)
- Gallavardin’s phenomenon (a holosystolic murmer that mimics MR)
Aortic Stenosis - Ix: ECHO, ECG and CXR
ECHO: Best for initial diagnosis.
ECG: LV hypertrophy (Tall R waves and deep S waves, LAD, T wave inversion)
CXR: Enlargement of the aorta and aortic valve calcification
Aortic Regurgitation - Aetiology/causes
- RhF, IE,
- Dilation of the aorta - HPN, coarction, aortitis
- Bicuspid aortic valve
- Marfan’s E-Ds
Aortic Regurgitation - signs and symptoms
- ASYMPTOMATIC
- SOB, syncope, chest pain, LHF, palpitations, orthopnoea, lung basal creps, JVP distension, low urine output
- Soft S1
- Wide pulse pressure
- Collapsing, water hammer pulse
- Displace apex beat
- Early decrescendo diastolic murmur that may radiate to the carotids
- If severe, can cause an Austin Flint murmur (–> low pitched mid diastolic rumbling murmur)
8 . Quincke’s - visible pulsation on nail bed - De Musset’s sign - head nodding in time with the pulse
- Trabe’s sign - pistol shot (loud systolic-diastolic murmur) heard over femoral
- Corrigan’s sign - visible pulsation in neck
- Becker’s sign - visible pulsation of the pupils and retinal arteries
Aortic Regurgitation - Ix: ECG, CXR, echo
- ECG: LV hypertrophy (Tall R in V1, deep S in V6, T wave inversion, LAD
- Cardiomegaly, Dilation of aorta
Mitral Stenosis - Aetiology/cause
- RhF, IE
- Dilation of the aorta (HPN, aortitis)
- Marfan’s ED
Mitral stenosis - Signs and symptoms
- Loud S1 w/ opening snap
- Parasternal heave
- Tapping in apex region
- Mid diastolic rumbling
- Irregularly irregular
6 Malar Flush - SOB, syncope, angina, HF, palpitations, orthopneoa, assymptomatic.
Mitral Stenosis - IX: ECG, CXR
ECG: Large R waves, inverted T waves, bifid p wave, AF
CXR: Dilation of ascending aorta, cardiomegaly
Mitral Regurgitation - Aetiology/causes
- RhF, IE
- Dilation of the aorta (HPN, aortitis)
- Marfan’s ED
Mitral Regurgitation - Signs and symptoms
1, SOB, syncope, angina, LHF (Oedema, decreased exercise tol, holosystolic mumur), palpitations,
- Pansystolic murmur that radiates to the axilla
- left ventricular dilation - Laterally displaced apex beat (and quiet S1)
- Pulse may be irreg/irreg
- S3, if there is left ventricular dysfunction
Mitral Regurgitation - Ix
ECG: Tall p waves, T wave inversion
CXR: Dilated cardiomeg, aortic enlargement
Description of a mitral valve prolapse
Barlow Mumur - Mid systolic click and end systolic murmur, best heard at the apex.
Tricuspid Regurgitation - aetiology
- IE!!!,RhF
- Marfans, E-D Syndrome
- RHF (can be due to LHF too)
Tricuspid Regurgitation - Signs and symptoms
- SOB, syncope, angina, RHF, hepatomegaly, acited, pitting oedema & ankle oedema
- Pansystolic murmur on left sternal edge/tricuspid area/at apex on inspiration (carvallo’s sign)
- JVP raised - V wave
- Parasternal heave
- Pulsitile liver if severe
Tricuspid regurgitation - Ix: Echo, ECG, CXR
ECHO: Ejection fractions, wall motion, etc.
ECG: Tall p wave
CXR: RHF –> ABCDE, R sided enlargement, hepatic venous congestion
