Q

Murmur with Mitral Stenosis

A

Diastole right after opening snap
Loud S1 = MV opens when ventricle contracts, slams the valve shut

Q

Murmur of Aortic Stenosis

A
Systolic 
Crescendo-decrescendo 
Peaks mid-systole
Heart best at 2nd right IC space
Radiates to Carotid

21
Q

Why does Valsalva/standing decrease or improve murmur in Aortic Stenosis

A

Decreased venous return to heart

22
Q

What softens murmur of Aortic Stenosis

A

Handgrip b/c of decreased ejection of blood

23
Q

What is carotid thrill

A

Palpable vibration of murmur

24
Q

EKG of Aortic Stenosis

A

LVH

S wave in V1 + R wave in V5

25
Q

How long will stenotic valve survive

A

12-24 months

26
Q

Causes of Mitral Regurgitation

A

HTN
Endocarditis
MI w Papillary muscle rupture
Any cause of heart dilation

27
Q

Presentation of Mitral Regurgitation

A

CHF sx’s - distended neck veins

28
Q

Murmur of Mitral Regurgitation

A

Holosystolic - obscure both S1 and S2
Best heard along sternal border
Radiates to Axilla

29
Q

What worsens murmur of Mitral Regurgitation

A

Handgrip pushes more blood backwards through the valve

Squatting and leg raising -increase venous return to heart

30
Q

Handgrip worsens which murmurs

Impact on preload/afterload

A

MR
AR
Handgrip increases afterload

31
Q

Valsalva and standing do what to blood flow

A

Decrease venous return to heart

32
Q

Squatting and leg raising do what to blood flow

A

Increase venous return to heart

33
Q

Do all left sided murmurs increase w expiration

A

No

NOT HOCM + MVP

34
Q

If the EF is < 60%, what does this mean for LV?

Management?

A

LV End systolic Diameter (LVESD) is > 40 mm
Unable to empty ventricle
Replace or repair valve before dilates more

35
Q

EKG for Mitral Regurgitation

A

LVH and LA Enlargement

36
Q

Echo for Mitral Regurgitation

A

LA and/or LV Dilatation

37
Q

TX for Mitral Regurgitation

A
1. Vasodilators - ACE, ARBs = BEST.  Increase EF
Hydralazine if can't tolerate. 
2. Digoxin, diuretics
3. Valve Replacement - symptomatic pt.
ASAP when heart starts to dilate
If LVESD > 40 mm OR EF < 60%
38
Q

Causes of Aortic Regurgitation

A
Heart of Aorta Dilated
MI 
HTN
Endocarditis
Marfan
Cystic Medial Necrosis 
Inflammatory Dz - Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reiter
Syphilis - Tertiary
39
Q

Presentation of Aortic Regurgitation

A
CHF Si/Sx's
Wide pulse pressure
Water-hammer pulse (wide, bounding) pulse
Quincke pulse (pulsations in nail bed) 
Hill sign (BP in legs > arm BP) 
Head bobbing (de Musset sign)
40
Q

Murmur of Aortic Regurgitation

A

Diastolic
Decrescendo
Heard best at lower left sternal border
Duzoziez sign - S/D thrill/murmur over Femoral Area

41
Q

Diagnostic test for Aortic Regurgitation

A

Echo - TTE, TEE

Catheterization

42
Q

TX for Aortic Regurgitation

A
  1. ACEi/ARBs, Nifedipine as Vasodilators - increase forward flow and delay progression
  2. Digoxin, diuretics - little benefit
  3. Valve replacement if acute valve rupture
    - EF < 55% or LVESD > 55mm
43
Q

What improves murmur of Aortic Regurgitation

A

Valsalva and standing

44
Q

What worsens murmur of Aortic Regurgitation

A

Handgrip increase afterload, compressing arteries of the arms

45
Q

What is PPX for Endocarditis

A

Amoxicillin

Clindamycin

46
Q

MVP causes

A

Anatomic variant - esp women
Marfan
Ehlers-Danlos

Asymptomatic 
When Sx's
- CHF sx's ABSENT
- Atypical chest pain
- Palpitations
- Panic Attack
48
Q

Murmur of MVP
Worse w?
Improved w?

A

Midsystolic click
Valsalva and standing Worsen
Squatting and handgrip Improve

49
Q

TIAs

50
Q

TX for MVP

A

Not recommended
