Slide_Chapter 36_Valvular Flashcards
Slide #2, #4
Types of Valvular Heart Disease
Valvular Heart disease caused by
Dysfunction
Stenosis
Regurgitation
Slide#5
Stenosis is
hardening to tight constriction/ narrowing of the cardiac valves that causes back
dysfunction
Stenosis
Regurgitation
Slide#5
Risk of
Valvular Heart Disease leads to
a-fib
Slide#15
Clinical Manifestations of valvular heart disease
Dyspnea
Murmur
Fatigue
Palpitations
Hoarsness
Hemiplegia
Chest pain
Slide#17
Cause
Strep throat - ask the pt did you have sore throat recently. Tell the pt. to say ah…check to see throat is red
Damage caused by MI
Chronic Rheumatic Heart Disease
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Infective Endocarditis
Slide#20
Heart pumps
Chronic mitral valve regurgitation
Slide#20
Any kind of valve problem the pt. develops, we have a
Heart murmur
Slide#21 valve
Clinical manifestations
Thready pulse
Cool and Clammy extremities - call doctor immediately.
Slide#24
It progresses to orthopnea, proxysymal dyspnea, noctural audible heart sound S3 murmur
Slide#26 like mushroom
Asymptomatic murmur = regurgitation
Slide#27 and slide#28 Remember
They all cause arrhythmias
Dizziness
Endocardidits
Chest Pain
Slide#28
Surgery for Mitral Valve
Change valve or prosthetic valve made fo plastic
Immunosupressants given to quite down neutrophils
Treatment for valve prolapse
Chest pain
For chest pain give beta blockers which top palpitations and decreases HR
Metoprolol and Atenolol, labetelol
Then Surgery
With Mitral valve rememember
No nitro
only beta blockers
Slide#29
Pt. education with prosthetic valve
Antibiotics prophylaxis, healthy diet, avoid caffeine
Avoid caffeine = no stimuant
Nervous = take deep breath for perfusion, and exercise
Slide#30
Childhood diagnosis for valvular problems
RF (Rheumatic Fever) casues degeneration of valves in aldults and this can lead to
Respiratory Failure
RF accompany MR
Clinical Manifestations of valvular problem
Exercitional dyspnea: ANgina, Syncope, Dsypnea
Slide #34
Poor prognosis if symptomatic and not corrected
and
use nitro with caution
Slide#36
Leaflet/ flip-flopping
Back to aorta to ventricles to left ventricles
Acute AR
Trauma
IE
Aortic Dossection
Slide #38 Clinical Manifestations of AVR
Dyspnea
Chest Pain
Hypotension
Leads to cardiogenic shock which is life-threatening requires surgery
Slide#39
Asymptomic
Angina occurs less
In chronic slide #39
Water-hammer pulse
Strong hammer thenno hammer
that is
Strong and it collapses
Tricuspid Stenosis causes
Systemic Venous Pressure
Right atria affected what do you see? Clinical Manifestations:
Peripheral Edema
Ascites
Hepatic stenosis
Murmur
Slide #41
Pulmonic valve stenosis
Fatigue
Loud murmur
Dignostic Pulmonic valve stenosis
CT Scan,
X-Ray to see how hig is your heart and valve
Echocardiogram
Heart catherization to check rigidity
Slide#43
Prevention fo RF and IE
Prophylaxis when you go for procedure.
Prevent exacerbation of Heart Failure, Pulmonary Edema, Endocarditis
Slide#46
Digoxin
Vasodilators
Beta blockers given for palpitations and chest pain
Diuretics
Anticoagulant therapy
Slide# 47
Valvuloplasty = not for regurgitation
Valvuloplasty is only used to change valve
In valvuloplasty, baloon is put inside to allow blood to flow.
With prosthetic valve you will have what for life?
Anticoagulants so that platelets don’t stick together
Mitral valve = artio-ventricular regurgitation
Pt has a sore throat
Left atrial problem = Pulmonary
Check pt has a sore throat? Rheumatoid Fever?
