VALVES/MURMURS Flashcards
what valvular disease causes large V waves in JVP
tricuspid regurgitation
systolic thrill in aortic area
aortic stenosis
pounding of heart/palpitations angina dyspnoea dizziness what valvular disease
aortic regurgitation
what are the investigations for aortic stenosis
ECG
Echo
machine like murmur
heard below left clavicle
Patent ductus arteriosus
what is the treatment for mitral regurgitation
diuretics, ACEI, Digoxin, warfarin
surgery for severe - valve repair/replacement
percutaneous mitral valve repair
when do people with valvular disease typically get symptoms
exertion
what does a CXR of mitral stenosis look like
LA enlargement - straight left heart border
mitral valve calcification
what would be given if there was AF with mitral stenosis
BB, digoxin, warfarin
what are some s/s mitral regurgitation
palpitations dyspnoea orthopnoea fatigue sweating ankle swelling
murmur best heard at apex with patient lying on LS on expiration
mitral stenosis
early diastolic murmur
high pitched and blowing murmur best heard at left sternal edge 4th ICS
with patient leaning forward and breath held in expiration
aortic regurgitation
what are the different grades of valvular disease
1 - quiet
2/3 - loud without thrill
4/5 - loud with thrill
6 - heard without stethoscope
presence of S4
aortic stenosis
what are the 3 main causes of aortic stenosis
congenital abnormalities e.g. bicuspid valve
rheumatic fever
calcification
what does mitral stenosis look like on an ECG
wide p waves, often bifid
tapping apex beat
mitral stenosis
palpitations dyspnoea orthopnoea fatigue sweating ankle swelling what valvular disease
mitral regurgitation
is pulmonary regurgitation systolic or diastolic
diastolic
what is the murmur the patient leans to the left for
mitral stenosis
head bobbing (de mussets sign)
aortic regurgitation
Loud S1, opening snap
mitral stenosis
soft S1, split S2 (3rd HS)
mitral regurgitation
what are some complications of mitral stenosis
RHF
cardiac cachexia
what is the treatment of mitral stenosis
anticoagulation (risk of embolic stroke)
balloon valvotomy - if pliable valve
valve replacement
diuretics for oedema
how do you describe a murmur
systolic/diastolic type loudest radiate grade influenced by respiration
what is the murmur the patient leans forward for
aortic regurgitation
is tricuspid stenosis more common in men or women
women
what are the 2 most common causes of mitral stenosis
rheumatic fever
congenital
