mitral/tricuspid 2 Flashcards
Mitral valve replacement
- bioprosthetic valves
2. mechanical valves
Mitral valve tx:
- medication
- valve replacement
- percutaneous balloon mitral vavuloplasty
MS: indications for tx:
- symptoms
- A fib
- pulmonary hypertension
MS: key points
- most common cause rhyematic MV disease
- clincial presentation: CHF, R sided HF, A fib, stroke
- Physical: loud S2, opening snap, diastolic rumble
- tx drug: b blocker, diuretic, anti-coag
- intervention: balloon valvulplasty vs. valve replacement
mitral regurgitation
inadequate mitral valve closure that blood flows back from LV to LA, during systole
mitral regurgitation may be caused by
abnormality of any component of MV apparatus
- annulus
- leaflets
- chordae
- papillary muscles
mitral regurgitation etiology
- Myxomatous degeneration: mitral valve prolapse
- Ischemic heart disease: papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture
- Endocarditis: valve deformity, perforation
- Rheumatic valve disease
- LV enlargement: stretches mitral annulus and/or papillary muscles
Mitral regurgitation: Physical exam
holosystolic murmur best heart at the apex with radiation to the axilla
mitral valve prolapse: physical exam
Midsystolic click die to the sudden tensing of the chordae tendinaea and mitral leaflet, followed by a late systolic murmur
mitral valve prolapse
- most often asymptomatic and found on routine physical exam
- clinical course is typically benign with good prognosis
- the primary concern is the development of progressive mitral regurgitation over time
mitral regurgitation: hemodynamics
- part of the LV SV is ejected backwards in the LA
- Elevated LA volume and Pressure cause Pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypertension
- Decreased forward CO
- Volume related stress on the LV (the regurgitated blood returns to the LV along with normal pulmonary Blood volume)
this may lead to LV dysfunction over time
Mitral regurgitation: clincial presentation
CHF
- dyspnea on exertion
- orthopnea
- paroxysmal nocturnal dysnpnea
- Edema
mitral regurgitation: Tx
- medication
- surgery
- mitraclip
Mitral regurgitation medication
- diuretic for CHF
2. afterload reduction (ACE inhibitors or ARBs)
mitral regurgitation surger
- mitral valve repair (preferred)
- mitral valve replacement
