Hemodynamic Disorders Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is the volume of blood in the left ventricle at the beginning of systole?
150 mL
What is the pressure of the blood in systole?
130 mmHg
What % and mL of blood in the left ventricle is ejected?
66% or 100 mL
What is the 2nd most common valvular disease? (male or female predominance)
calcific aoritc stenosis
male
What are the 3 causes of calcific aoritc stenosis
- anamalous bicuspid valve (50%) (insteasd of 3 cusps) = presents 10 years earlier
- “senile” regeneration (wear and tear)
- chronic rheumatic disease
What is the pathology of calcific aoritc stenosis?
Early: sclerosis (fibrosis) and thickening, lipid deposition, macrophages and lymphocytes (looks like athlerosclerosis!!–and has the same risk factors–smoking, obesity, HTN
–> inc afterload
Late: nodular heaped-up calcifications in minportion of each cusp, protruding into sinuses of valsalva
*arthlerosclerosis also calcifies
Describe the gross pathology of calcific aoritc stenosis
rocks in sinuses of valsalva squezzing lumen
Why does aoritc stenosis cause angina?
hypertrophic left ventricle has inc need for blood + rocks/calcification blocking coronary ostia = impedes blood flow to coronary arteries –> chest pain (even with normal coronary arteries
Where are the coronary ostia?
cusps of the valve
Why does aortic stenosis cause syncope?
impaired blood flow due to narrowed opening –> not enough blood flow/O2 to brain
When are pts with calcific aoritc stenosis likely to experience angina and syncope?
upon exertion
Why does aortic stenosis cause dyspnea?
blood cant get out of valve –> back up –> hypertrophy of left ventricle –> dilation of pulmonary veins –> inc pressure in pulmonary vessels/pulmonary HTN –> LHF
Dyspnea is a symptom of ______
LHF/pulmonary HTN
In what ways is aortic stenosis like HTN heart disease?
in both, there is narrowing of the lumen of the vessels (aorta)–> higher BP causes hypertrophy of the left ventricle bc the heart is trying to work harder to push an increased afterload
difference: valve is fucked up vs the vessels are fucked up, but they both cause increase in afterload
Factors that help
preload
afterload
contractility
How is CAD differentiated from aortic stenosis?
aortic stenosis has a MURMUR!
otherwise they present the exact same way (angina, dypnea, syncope)
What is the volume at the start of diastole? pressure?
50 mL
10 mmHg
What is the billowing of mitral valve into left atrium during systole called?
miral valve prolapse
What is the most common valvular disease?
male or female predominance
mitral valve prolapse; female
gross pathology of MVP?
microscopic pathology of MVP?
elongeted/thinned cordae tendinae
floppy, ballooning/hooding of valve leaflets
1) degeneration/thinned outer zona fibrosa and
2) expanded myxomatous inner zona spongiosa
* **can also have normal microscopic appearance = structural problem
Into what part of the heart do the prolapsed mitral valve protrude?
left atrium
A prolapsed mitral valve protrudes into the L atrium during (systole or diastole)?
systole
