Kentucky
S2
Physiologic in kids, young adults
Pathological in older adults=HF
Ventricular gallop
S4

Tennessee
Forceful atrial contraction against stiffened low compliant ventricle
Atrial gallop
Systolic murmur
MR (MVP), TR, AS, PS, VSD Aortopulmonary shunts (early, mid, late, holosystolic/pansystolic)
Diastolic-AR, PR
-MS, TX
Atrial myxoma
Ok
Continuous murmurs
PDA-machinery
AV fistula
ASD with high LA pressure
Coarctation
VHD
Most common conditions encountered today-degenerative (senile calcification)
Myxomatosis degeneration (MVP) Congenital (bicuspid aortic valve)
Decline in incidence of RHD
Mitral regurgitaiton chronic
MVP most common MAC (mitral annular calcification)
Mitral regurgitaiton acute
Rupture of chordal tendineae
Rupture of papillary msucle
Ischemic papillary msucle dysfunction-
CAD/MI : next most common cause f MR
IE; valve perforation
MR symptoms
Asymptomatic years-> of fatigue , DOE and palpitations
Acute; volume overload/orthopnea, PND, RHF/LHF
PE MR
Systolic murmur 9blowing , prominent at apex; radiates into left axilla)
Loudness of murmur correlated with severity
Decreased D1 or normal; may have a systolic click
Mitral stenosis
4th decade
DOE, cough, orthopnea, PND< pulmonary edema, hemoptysis, arterial emboli, A fib
Ortner syndrome: hoarseness d/+ compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve
MS PE
Malar flush-ruddy cheeks, blue fancies. Increase D1; opening snap after s2
Rumbling, diastolic murmur-low pitched; bestheard at apex. Use bell
Aortic stenosis
Degenerative (calcific, senile, fibrosis or sclerosis) congenital bicuspid aortic valve )BAV)
1% of pop born with BAV)
Rheumatic or post inflammatory scarring
Normal AoV is 4cm^2
Symptoms AS
6th decade: exertional dyspnea, angina, syncope, HF
Without treatment prognosis is poor
Without treatment most will die within three years of developing syncope and within two years of onset of HF
Pathophysiology AS
Obstruction leads to pressure overload LVH increased LVED pressure
Gradient across valve
Severe AS if AoV <1cm^2
PE AS
Narrow pulse pressure; decreased SV and systolic pressure
Delayed pulses-par is (weak-small/tardus-late)
Systolic murmur, harsh 2nd ICS RSB; radiated into suprasternal notch/carotid
Gallavardin phenomenon-murmur radiates to apex (like MR)
AR
Causes acute-IE, aortic dissection, BAV
Chronic causes-syphilis, ankylosis spondylitis
PE AR
Wide pulse pressure
De musset sign
Corgi ANS pulse
Traduces sign
Durozreys sign
Hills sign
Bisferious pulse
Diastolic , decrescendo murmur 3rd ICS LSB
Systolic murmur usually present , soft
Austin flint murmur; can mimic MS
Tricuspid regurgitaiton
Associated with pulmonary HTN, inferior MI/RV infarction and others
Pathophysiology; prominent V wave in JVP
Blowing systolic murmur LSB; increase with inspiration (Corvallis sign)
TS
Associated with MS, TR< and RHD
Pathophysiology; prominent A wave in JVP ascites, hepatomegalia (may pulsate)
Diastolic murmur LSB; increase with inspiration (carvallos sign) and decrease with expiration and valsava
Pulmonic regurgitation
Most cases are due to pulmonary HTN
Diastolic , blowing murmur 2nd LSB, 2nd ICS (graham steel)
Pulmonary stenosis
Atresia
Congenital
Can cause angina and syncope
Auscultation-systolic murmur , ejection click
2nd-3rd ICS, LSB/radiated toward left shoulder and increases on inspiration /RVH
Maybe associated with TOF or TGA
May require balloon commissurotomy if pressure gradient>50 mmHG
Electronic health records
Ok
Electronic medical records
Digitalized version of the paper charts int he clinicians office but the information int he EMRs doesn’t travel easily out of the practice. Inf act, the patients record might have to be printed and delivered by main/fax to specialists and othe members of the care team
Electronic health records
Do allot he EMR things-and more. They are build to share information with other health care providers, such as laboratories and specialists, so they contain information from all the clinicians involved int he patients care
Do EHR talk to another EHR
No
2009
Incentives-health informations echnology for economic and clincial health act, which authorizes incentive payments through Medicare and medicaid to clinicians and hospitals that use electronic health records in a meaningful way that significantly improves clincial care
2010
President Obama signed the patient protections nd affordable care act
Physicians and hospitals had to prove that they had met 25 different functional objectives with their use of an EHR product to be considered meaningful userspenalties included cuts to Medicare payments for those not implanting EHR
2017
As of 2015, nearly 9 in 10 of office based physicians had adopted EHR
Meaningful use (MU)
Stage 1-data capture and sharing 2011
Stage 2-advance clincial processes
Stage 20improved outcomes
MU
Refers to the use of certified EHR technologies by health care providers in ways that measurably improve health care quality and efficiency
Ultimate goal is to bring about health care that is Patient centered Evidence based Prevention oriented Efficient Equitable
Data
Qualitative, or quantative (discrete, continuous)
MU criteria’s 2014
Patient portal-contact provider electronically
Clinical decision support tools-computerized alerts and reminders to care providers and patients
MU report a total of 6 ambulatory clincial quality measures to CMS or states
Adherence to chronic medications
Adherence to statin therapy for individuals with CAD
Adherence to chronic medications for individuals with DM
Adherence to antipsychotic medications for individuals with schizophrenia
INR for individuals taking warfarin and interacting anti infective medication
Lack monthly INR monitoring for individuals on warfarin
Premium cost
Higher for unhealthy than healthy
As medical costs go up, premiums are raised to ensure resources>cost
What are the costs administrative, medical, other
Cost of implementation
1.5 billion Mayo Clinic over next five years EHR
What is fee for service
Volume based, not value
Physician is paid when patients is seen
What is merit based incentive payment
Standardizes measures (evidence based)
Incentives care that focuses on improved quality outcomes
Increases access to better care
Enhanced coordination through a patient centered approach
Improved results
MARCA
Medicare access and CHIP reauthorization act of 2015
CMS stated that MACRA enacts a new payment framework that rewards health care providers for giving better care instead of more service
