Valve Disease (Newman) Flashcards
2 causes of endocarditis
bugs in blood and diseased valve
What determines the integrity of the valves?
leaflets/cusps
support network
cardiac chambers, great vessels
a narrowing of an orifice, lumen
stenosis
leakage upstream
regurgitation
What the size diff of healthy and stenotic valve?
3 cm vs 0.5 cm
in what valve does regurgication happen most common?
aorta (in diastole)»_space; mitral/left ventricle (in systole)
What is the cardiac adaptation to a stenotic valve?
Does a stenotic valve cause a pressure or volume overload?
inc thickness of wall = concentric hypertrophy
pressure overload due to inc pressure upstream
What is the cardiac adaptation to regurgitation?
Does a regurgitation cause an pressure or volume overload?
eccentric hypertrophy (enlarged chamber inc mass but normal thickness)
= heart dialtes without getting thicker!!
(volume overload bc volume increases upstream)
What is the thickness of the inter-ventricular septum?
1 cm
loud murmur without hypertrophy (eccentric)
acute regurgitation
What causes acute regurg? (3)
ischemia, infection, dissection
heart failure (PND, edema, JVD) chest pain syncope arrhymias ** could be asymptomatic
acute regurgitation
chest pain (angina)
Where on the chest would you hear mitral regurg
right under left nipple
mitral regurg murmur is heard during _____
systolic murmur
lub –fhh–dub
aortic regurg murmur is heard during _____
diastolic murmur
lub-dub-fhh
Where on the chest would you hear aortic regurg?
under right clavicle
aortic stenosis murmur is heard during _____
Systole
lub-ugh-dub (cough sound)
in mitral stenosis the first heart sound is
louder
how must a pt be positioned? WHat part of hand do you use to feel for it?
left lateral dequibitis
interphalngeal joints
Where will PMI be felt with eccentric hypertrophy?
axilla
What should the size of the PMI be normally? pathologic?
size of dime–> quarter
concentric hypertrophy is a risk factor for …
