Heart Valves Flashcards
Stenosis VS regurgitaion
If the valve does not open during systole, murmur is related to stenosis: pulmonic or aortic valve.
regurgitation valve should close during systole: mitral or tricuspid
Systole:
Diastole:
Systole: pulmonic and aortic valves open, and the mitral and tricuspid close
Valvular Flow
Mitral goes to aortic ( left side oxygenated)
Tricuspid goes to Pulmonary ( right unoxygenated )
Valvular stenosis
Narrowing of valve HF occurs
Valvular Regergitation
Incomplete closure of valve from scarring
cause blood to pump twice
dilates and hypertrophy
HF
Casuse of Stenosis
Congential
Rheumatic
Senile
causes of Regergitaion
Rhematic - acute or chronic
Infective- endo, dilated, cardiomyopathy
traumatic - valve rupture, papillar muscle
senile
congenital
8 types of valve disorders
- mitral stenosis .
- mitral regergitaion
- Aortic stenosis
- Aortic Regurgitation
- tricuspid stenosis
- tricuspid regurgitation
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Pulmonary reurgitation
mitral stenosis
usually from rheumatic HD
geriatric and HD patients
congenital
**hallmark elevated AV gradient
severe- you will see inc in PVR and PAP at rest and rising during exercise , inc RV pressure cause pulm HTN
mitral stenosis
complications
- afib
- EF worsens
- inc RV hypertrophy
- emboli risk
Symptoms:
cough, SOB , orthopnea, pulm HTN
RHF, edema , fatigue, AF, diastolic murmur
CXR: straight L cardiac silloette
Mitral stenosis management
- diauretic
- anticouagulation : DOAC not approved need coumadin
INR: 2.5-3.5 ****
mitral valve replacement needs lifelong anticoags - low NA
- GAS prophylaxis
- ventricular rate control : BB calcium channel blocker , dig with afib
- pulmonary complications complicate this dx ; manage the infection
Mitral Regergition
back flow of blood
Pulm congestion
L atrial dilation
dec blood into LV
dec CO
inc LA pressure
inc LA hypertrophy
inc in PA pressure
Inc in RV pressure
mitral regurgitation
signs and symptoms
most predominate
fatigue and orthopnea
narrow pulse pressure
holosystolic murmur with split s2 and s3
mitral regurg management
NSR avoid isometric exercise
Digoxin
vasodilators
treat underling HF
BIV pacer
anticouaglation
surg repair
beta block , ace and diuretic with severe heart condition could backfire with ICM*
