Malozzi-Valvular Heart Disease Flashcards
structure that holds heart valves in position
chordae tendinae
3 cusps
semilunar valves
2 leaflets
mitral valve
3 leaflets
tricuspid valve
to diagnose valvular heart disease
- hx
- auscultation
- tests
2 most important ways to diagnose valvular heart disease
auscultation
echo
this type of murmur grows louder
crescendo murmur
this type of murmur grows softer
decrescendo murmur
this type of murmur first rises, then falls
crescendo-descrescendo murmur
murmur that has same intensity throughout
plateau murmur
valvular______leads to pressure overload
stenosis
valvular _______ leads to volume overload
insufficiency/regurgitation
valvular stenosis can ultimately lead to what
concentric hypertrophy/remodeling
valvular insufficiency/regurgitation can ultimately lead to what
eccentric hypertrophy
this valve pathology is due to age and congenital (bicuspid valve)
aortic stenosis
what does the LV compensation to an obstruction in flow eventually lead to
concentric hypertrophy
when LV can no longer compensate, what happens
eccentric hypertrophy and heart will fail
3 main sx’s of progressive aortic stenosis
syncope
angina
dyspnea
once symptoms develop for aortic stenosis, what is mortality rate
ave. survival up to 5 years
how can you decipher severity of aortic stenosis murmur
the duration
what is not a factor for severity of aortic stenosis
intensity of murmur
