MTB 3 Flashcards
MCC Mitral Stenosis
Rheumatic Fever
MC in young adults
When do we treat Mitral Stenosis
Symptomatic
Pregnant and Immigrant - Valvular dz?
Mitral Stenosis
Pregnancy - 50% increase in plasma volume
Presentation of Mitral Stenosis
SOB/Dyspnea/Orthopnea CHF Dysphagia- Esophagus Hoarseness - Laryngeal N A fib/Stroke Hemoptysis Right sided HF
Presentation of Right sided HF
Hepatomegaly
Ascites
Peripheral Edema
Murmur with Mitral Stenosis
Diastole right after opening snap
Loud S1 = MV opens when ventricle contracts, slams the valve shut
Opening Snap = MV opening after S1
What increases the intensity of Mitral Stenosis
Squatting
Leg raising
Increased venous return to the heart
Best initial test for Mitral Stenosis
TTE
Most accurate test for Mitral Stenosis
Catheterization
EKG of Mitral Stenosis
A fib very common
LA Hypertrophy = biphasic P wave in V1 and V2
CXR of Mitral Stenosis
LA Hypertrophy
- Straightening of left heart border
- Elevation of left main-stem bronchus
- Second bubble behind heart
TX for Hypertrophy
- Diuretics + Sodium restriction if fluid overload in lungs
- Balloon Valvuloplasty done with catheter
- Valve replacement if catheter cannot be done
- Warfarin for A fib
- Rate control of a fib
AE of Diuretics in pregnancy
IUGR
Causes of Aortic Stenosis
Congenital bicuspid valve
Calcifications with aging
Pathophys of Calcifications in Aortic Stenosis
Calcium leaves bones and enters aorta
Presentation of Aortic Stenosis
Angina = MC Syncope CHF Pulsus tardus et parvus Carotid thrill
What is Pulsus tardus et parvus
Pulse that is small and late
TX for Aortic Stenosis
If SAD (Syncope, Angina, Dyspnea) = Valve replacement No good medical TX
Test for Aortic Stenosis
TTE
TEE
Catherization
Murmur of Aortic Stenosis
Systolic Crescendo-decrescendo Peaks mid-systole Heart best at 2nd right IC space Radiates to Carotid Valsalva/standing - decrease murmur/improve
