Paine Podcast murmurs Flashcards
Aortic Stenosis Causes
1) Congenitally abnormal valve (bicuspid)
2) Calcific disease –> most common in US
3) Rheumatic valve disease –> most common world wide
AS triad sx
1) Dyspnea on exertion
2) Exertional dizziness or syncope
3) Angina
AS description
+ high pitched, crescendo-decrescendo (diamond shaped) midsystolic murmur
+ soft s2
+s4 may be present
+ often with a loud thrill
AS auscultation point
2cd R ICS
AS special notes
radiates to carotid arteries
AR causes
1) aortic root dilation (retrgrades tears it up)
2) congenital bicuspid valve
3) calcific dz
4) rheumatic heart dz (most common world wide)
What does AR result in?
volume overloading due to the retrograde flow into the left ventricle
signs and sx of AR
+ exertional angina and dyspnea
+ sx of HF: PND, orthopnea, pulmonary edema, lower extremity edema
+crackles (rales)
+laterally and inferiorly displaced pMI with a thrill
description of AR
+ soft, high-pitched, early diastolic decrescendo murmur
+soft S1 with soft/absent s2
+S3 may be present depending on degree of heart failure
best auscultaion position for AR
L 3rd ICS (erbs)
speical note for AR
accentuated by pt sitting up and leaning forward at end expiration
mitral stenosis top causes
1) Rheumatic heart dz
2) mitral annular calcification
3) radiation associated-valve disease (Hodgkin’s lymphoma)
MS signs and sx
+exertional dyspnea
+decreased exercise tolerance
+hemoptysis (increased pulmonary pressure)
+angina
+fatigue
+ atrial fibrillation (elevated left artial pressure)S2
MS description
opening snap w/ low pitched diastolic murmur
+decrescendo after S2
+late, diastolic, crescendo before S1
+ loud S1
MS best auscultation positions
cardiac apex at left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line
MS pitch and quality
low pitch, best heard with bell
special notes for MS
best heard w/ pt in left lateral decubitus in held expiration
MR causes
1) primary:
+degenerative mitral valve dz (most common in US)- mitral valve prolaps
+Rheumatic Heart dz
2) Secondary
+CAD (regional wall motion abnormality)
+dilated CMP
+Hypertrophic CMP
sx of MR
exertional dyspnea
fatigue
+afib
+heart failure
MR description
high-pitched “blowing”, holosystolic murmur
+diminished S1
MR best auscultation point
+cardica apex at left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line
special notes for MR
+radiates to axilla
+no variability in respiration
+decreases in intensity with valsalva
MVP causes
1) primary
+sporadic (myxomatous degenerations)
+familial (autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrations: 30-50% in first degree releative)
2) secondary
+ connective tissue disorders
+infective endocarditis
+CAD
signs and sx of MVP
\+palpitations \+dyspnea \+exercise intolerance \+ panic and anxiety disorders \+ numbness or tingling
