Valvular disease Flashcards
Aortic Stenosis
narrowing of valve
IE, RHF
tried of HF, angina and syncope
ejection systolic murmur that radiates to carotids, heard on expiration slow rising pulse narrow pressure soft/absent S2 can have syncope
aortic sclerosis - ejection systolic murmur that doesn’t;t radiate
CXR - cardiomegaly, calcification
it can cause left branch bundle block
Aortic regurgitation
back flow of blood due to incompetent valve
IE, RHF, Aortic dissection
early diastolic murmur heard left lower sterna; edge mid-diastolic murmur if worse wide pressure collapsing pulse nail pulsation head bobbing
Mitral stenosis
narrowing of valve
IE, RHF
mid diastolic murmur
AF
opening snap
malar flush
Mitral regurgitation
back flow of blood due to incompetent valve
IE, RHF
pan-systolic murmur, radiates to axilla
can have AF
acute MR - complication of MI
investigation
echocardiogram
management
surgical valve replacement
TAVI - for aortic and co-morbities
murmur for tricuspid regurgitation
pan-systolic murmur louder during inspiration
murmur for pulmonary stenosis
ejection systolic
murmur for pulmonary regurgitation
early diastolic
what is management for symptoms in AS
furosemide
