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

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
