Test 2 Flashcards
What is infective endocarditis?
an infection of the endocarditis the most inner layer of the heart this includes the valves
What valves does infective endocarditis usually affect?
Aortic and mitral
What are the classifications for endocarditis 3
and two more ways to classify
IV drug use, Fungal, or at site
Acute and subacute
What bacteria are responsible for IE and how do they work
Strep viridans, and staph aureus
make a biofilm that protects them
What are the risk factors for IE 9
Heart damage, marfan syndrome, pacemaker, prostethtic vavles, mitral valve regurg, rheumatic heart disease, dialysis, IV use, age
What are vegetations and what disease are they associated with and one concern
fibrin, leukocytes, platelets, microbes IE can cause embolism
What can IE cause 2. to remember
sepsis and heart block
Manifestations with IE general with 3 things
General dont feel well low grade fever is the biggest
systolic murmur
Subacute form of IE s/s 8
arthalagias and myo back pain ab discomfprt weight loss HA clubing fingers
Vascular manifestations with IE 5
Splinter hem, petechiae, osler nodes-PAINFUL raised legions on hands and feet, janeways roth spots
What to look for in hx for patient with IE and what is the time frame 6
3-6 months
IV stuff, dental work, downstairs procedures, recent cath lab, infections of skin resp or urinary, dialysis
Diagnositics for IE 8
Keep neg cultures for 3 weeks transesoph echo to see veg, EKG for av block, cath for valve function, reg echo. mild leukocytes, erythrocyte sedementaiton and crp increased
criteria for IE diagnosis
2 of the following, positive culture, new or changed murmur, mass or vegetationon echo
tx for IE
antibiotics for 4-6 weeks IV antibiotics
heart compensation people need to prophylactically tx with any incision, infection, uti
What causes acute pericarditis?
Examples for infection-
non infection
autoimmune
infections (limes) noninfection- radition trauma autoimmune- rheumatic fever, rhem arth, systemic lupus, sclerosis
Acute pericarditis s/s 6
severe sharp chest pain- worse when laying down or with inspiration relieved by sitting up and forward pericardial friction rub angina like pain dyspnea fever anxiety
Complications of pericarditis with examples
effusion-couch, tachy hickups
cardiac tamp-confused, anxious, becks (Low art BP, DNV, muffled heart sounds)
Diagnostics for Acute pericarditis 5
WIde spread ST elevation or depression, cardiomegaly, increase crp, esr and leukocytosis
Tx for acute pericarditis
Antibiotics pericardial centesis
Rheumatic fever and rheumatic disease
inflam disease from abnormal immune response to group A strep after about 3 weeks affects skin, joints, cns
chronic scaring and deformity of heart valves vegetations
Manifestations of rhematic fever 7
Erythemia marg, arthritis, carditis, subcut nodules, sydenhams chorea, increase in esr and cpr prolonged PR,
What is the most common thing that rheumatic fever will lead to
mitral valve stenosis or other valve disease
2 things about RF
Antibiotics for 5 yrs maybe life and assess for pulmonary edema and clear lung sounds
patho of MV regurg and major risk
LV thickens, LA enlarges, blood backs up to lungs, makes heart work harder,
cardiogenic shock
S/s of pulmonary edema
Cool, clammy, pink frothy speutum, s3
s/s of mitral valve regurg 6
Thready weak pulse, new holostolic murmur, signs of left vent fail, and peripheral edema, PVC, nitro dosent work
Tx of mitral valve regurg
valve repair
Marfins syndrome risk for
IE and mitral valve prolapse
