VALVE DISEASE Flashcards
clinical history
crushing chest pain breathlessness ankle/sacral swelling orthopnea PND syncope/pre-syncope exertional symptoms
signs of R sided heart failure
raised JVP

mitral stenosis
when is the apex beat displaced?
LV dilatation- volume overload
murmur
audible turbulence of blood flow
S1
start of systole
S2
start of diastole
which murmurs are always pathological?
diastolic
2nd heart sound splitting
aortic stenosis

continuous murmur
innocent murmur
tricuspid regurgitation

mitral regurgitation
valve stenosis
valves which do not open properly
valve regurgitation
valves which do not close properly
mixed valve disease
valves which neither open nor close properly
which murmur can be caused by old age (degenerative)?
