Q

Why is it normal for S2 to split a little? When is it best heard?

A

Aortic valve shuts before pulmonary valve, especially on deep inspriation as venous return to heart is delayed

Q

How does syphilis cause aortic regurgitation?

A

It causes arteritis due to the inflammatory response when treponema palidium invades the aortic wall and causes necrosis of elastic fibres and CT in aortic media.

84
Q

What murmur does pulmonary HPTN casue

A

Pulmonary regurgitation
Normally asymptomatic

85
Q

What is tricuspid stenosis

A

Tricuspid stenosis (TS) is narrowing of the tricuspid orifice that obstructs blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. Almost all cases result from rheumatic fever. Symptoms include a fluttering discomfort in the neck, fatigue, cold skin, and right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort. Jugular pulsations are prominent, and a presystolic murmur is often heard at the left sternal edge in the fourth intercostal space and is increased during inspiration. Diagnosis is by echocardiography. TS is usually benign, requiring no specific treatment, but symptomatic patients may benefit from surgery.

86
Q

Key points tricuspid stenosis

A

Tricuspid stenosis is almost always due to rheumatic fever; tricuspid regurgitation and mitral stenosis are often also present.
Heart sounds include a soft opening snap and a mid-diastolic rumble with presystolic accentuation; the murmur becomes louder and longer with maneuvers that increase venous return (eg, exercise, inspiration, leg-raising) and softer and shorter with maneuvers that decrease venous return (standing, Valsalva maneuver).
Treatment includes diuretics and aldosterone antagonists; surgical repair or replacement is rarely needed.

87
Q

What is aortic stenosis

A

rtic stenosis (AS) is narrowing of the aortic valve, obstructing blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta during systole

88
Q

What is aortic regurgitation

A

incompetency of the aortic valve causing backflow from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole.

89
Q

What is mitral regurgitiation

A

incompetency of the mitral valve causing flow from the left ventricle (LV) into the left atrium during ventricular systole.

90
Q

What is mitral stenosis

A

narrowing of the mitral orifice that impedes blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The usual cause is rheumatic fever

91
Q

What is pulmonary regurgitation

A

Pulmonic (pulmonary) regurgitation (PR) is incompetency of the pulmonic valve causing blood flow from the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle during diastole. The most common cause is pulmonary hypertension. PR is usually asymptomatic. Signs include a decrescendo diastolic murmur. Diagnosis is by echocardiography. Usually, no specific treatment is necessary except for management of pulmonary hypertension.

92
Q

What is pulmonary stenosis

A

Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract causing obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery during systole. Most cases are congenital.
crescendo-decrescendo ejection murmur.

93
Q

What is tricuspid regurgitation

A

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is insufficiency of the tricuspid valve causing blood flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium during systole. The most common cause is dilation of the right ventricle. Symptoms and signs are usually absent, but severe TR can cause neck pulsations, a holosystolic murmur, and right ventricular–induced heart failure or atrial fibrillation.

94
Q

What valvular disease can cause liver spulsation
