MCC of AR
What is a rare seronegative cause
What will be seen on PE in this condition
Aging process makes leaflets weak/floppy
Ankylosing
Wide pulse pressure, Water hammer/Corrigan pulse heard at LSB
What 5 other signs are seen when AR is present
What extra murmur can be present w/ AR
What is the indication after load reduction is needed and what class is preferred
Hill: leg > arm BP Musset- head bob Quinke- nail bed Duroziez- to-and-fro Traubes: pistol sound over femoral/radial pulses
Austin-Flint: diastolic murmur from blood hitting anterior mitral leaflet
SBP >140 w/ ARBs
MCC of MS
What is heard w/ this murmur
MC Sx of MS
Rheumatic fever
Opening snap after S2
Dyspnea
What will be heard on PE of MR
? maneuver intensifies MR murmur
MC murmur associated w/ Marfans
Soft S1, wide split S2 w/ loud P2
Hand grip
MVP
? part of the valve is MC involved in MVP
? unique presentation in females can indicate underlying MVP
How is MVP defined by Echo
Middle cusp of posterior leaflet (both= Barlow Syndr.)
POTS
Billowing leaflet 2mm/> above annular plane
When is medical Tx for MVP indicated and ? is used
In the USA, TS is MC d/t ? etiologies
TS is characterized by ? four PE findings
Palpitations= BBs
Rheumatic fever-MC
Prior regurge
Carcinoid syndrome
Hepatomegaly
Ascites
Right HF
