Q

what heart sound with mitral stenosis

A

Listen over apex
1) loud S1 (high AV pressure gradient keeps MV open until last sec when systole closes valve)

2) opening snap after S2
3) diastolic rumble (low freq descrendo due to turbulence across stenotic valve)

Q

mitral stenosis treatment

A

23
Q

mitral regurg define

A

inadeq mitral valve closure so blood flow back into LA during systole

24
Q

causes of mitral regurg?

A

1) myxomatous degeneration (mitral valve prolapse)- MAIN
2) chordal rupture and LV dysfxn)
3) endocarditis (valve deform/perf)
4) rheum valve disease
5) LV enlargement (stretch mitral annulus/papillary)

25
Q

mitral regurg physical exam

A

holocystolic murmur heard at apex and radiate to axilla

26
Q

mitral valve prolapse

A

asymptomatic and benign

concern for mitral regurg

27
Q

hemodynamics of mitral regurg

A

1) part of LV stroke volume eject backwards
2) incr LA volume/pressure –> pulm HTN + edema
3) decr fwd CO
4) stress on LV

28
Q

clinical effect of mitral regurg

A

CHF

1) dyspnea on exertion
2) orthopnea
3) parox nocturnal dyspnea
4) edema

LA Dilation
1) afib

29
Q

treatment of mitral regurg- meds

A

diuretics for CHF

decr afterload (ACE inhib, ARB)

30
Q

treatment of mitral regurg- surgery

A

mitral valve repair (preferred) or replacement

31
Q

surgical indication for chronic Mitral regurg

A

1) sx
2) LV dilation
3) decr LV systolic fxn
4) new afib
5) pulm HTN

32
Q

tricuspid valve fxn

A

open in diastole for RA–> RV

close in systole to prevent backflow blood into RA

33
Q

tricuspid regurg

A

during systole, blood backflow into RA

34
Q

complications of tricuspid regurg

A

incr RA pressure –> incr venous pressure

35
Q

sx of tricuspid regurg

A

1) LE edema
2) ascites
3) hepatic congestion (from high RA Pressure)
4) Palpitations
5) Fatigue (low CO)
6) RV enlargement and RV dysfunction

36
Q

etiology of tricuspid regurg

A

1) 80% cases fxnal (no problems with tricuspid valve) due to annular dilation and leaflet restriction from RV P + V overload

37
Q

murmur in tricuspid regurg

A

holocystolic murmur along sternal border

louder with inspiration b/c inspiration incr venous return to R heart

38
Q

physical exam in tricuspid regurg

A

1) JVD with v wave (blood back up)

2) hepatomegaly

39
Q

treatment of tricuspid regurg

A

if functional,
1) treat underlying cause of RV pressure overload

meds = diuretics
surgery = tricuspid repair (more common)/replacement
40
Q

tricuspid stenosis cause

A

rheumatic heart disease

41
Q

tricuspid stenosis murmur

A

similar to mitral stenosis (heard near sternum)

incr with inspiration

Q

treatment of tricuspid stenosis

A

1) diuretics

2) tricuspid valve surgery

44
Q

aortic insufficiency secondary to (2)

A

echo

46
Q

indications for aortic valve replacement

A

47
Q

If pulmonary hypertension has developed in mitral stenosis what happens on exam?

A

1) loud P2
2) RV thrill or lift
3) JVD
4) tricuspid regurgitation murmur

49
Q

mitral valve prolapse mostly sporadic or hereditary

A

sporadic

VERY BENIGN!!!!!!

50
Q

mitral valve murmur

A

1) midsystolic click (sudden tensing of chordae tendinae + leaflet)
2) late systolic murmur

51
Q

symptoms of mitral valve prolapse if problems arise

A

1) atrial arrhythmias (a-fib)
2) LV dilation, dysfunction
3) HF (dyspnea, orthopnea, edema)

Q

symptoms of functional mitral regurgitation

A

1) S3, S4
2) loud P2 if pulmonary hypertension present
3) lateral displacement of apical impulse
4) edema, crackles, JVD

53
Q

manuevers that make mitral valve prolapse murmur louder

A

decr LV size intensify and prolong murmur

1) valsalva
2) dehydration

54
Q

manuevers that make mitral valve prolapse murmur quieter

A

1) squatting

2) hydration

55
Q

treatments for functional mitral regurgitation

A

1) meds to treat underlying cardiomyopathy

ACE inhib
beta blockers 
spironolactone
revascularization
biventricular pacing
