LVSF Flashcards
What are the CAUSES of LVSF?
- ischemic cardiac disease
- cardiomyopathies
- valvular heart disease
- congenital heart disease
- hypertension
- renal disease
- diabetes
- thyroid disease
- drug and alcohol abuse
What are the SIGNS of LVSF?
- reduced cardiac output
- pulmonary edema
- volume to periphery
What are the SYMPTOMS of reduced cardiac output?
- DOE
- fatigue
- dizziness
- hypotension
- angina
What are the SYMPTOMS of pulmonary edema?
- dyspnea
- orthopnea/PND
- cough/sputum/rales
What are the SYMPTOMS of peripheral edema?
- JVD
- hepatomegaly
- ascites
What MURMURS are heard?
- soft S1
- S3
- S4
Murmur soft S1 is quiet due to what?
quiet due to AV valves closing less forcefully
Murmur S3 is due to what?
diastolic flow into volume overloaded ventricle
Murmur S4 is due to what?
atrial contraction flow against a stiff non-compliant ventricle
What is the NORMAL range of LVSP?
100-140 mmHg
What is the equation of LVSP with no AS?
LVSF = Systolic BP
What is the equation of LVSP with AS?
What are the steps?
LVSF = Systolic BP + AV PPG
CW - A5 - AV - PPG - SYSTOLE
What is the equation of LVSP with MR?
What are the steps?
LVSP = 4 x MR^2 + LAP
CW - A4 - MV- PEAK VELOCITY - SYSTOLE
CW - AV PSAX - PV - EDV & find PAEDP
What are the 2D FINDINGS?
- reduced global contractility
- reduced regional contractility
- LVE
- premature closure of MV and opening of AV
- fractional shortening
What are the M MODE FINDINGS?
- increased EPSS (mitral)
- “B” bump as sign of elevated LVEDP (mitral)
- decrease motion of aortic root (aortic)
- LVE
- premature closure of MV and opening of AV
- fractional shortening
