Valvular Disease Flashcards
What is the first line treatment for the management of ACUTE mitral regurgitation
IV nitroprusside
Prep for surgery
What would cause supravalvular aortic stenosis
Congenital or post-operative
When do you hear a murmur associated with pulmonic stenosis
Mid systolic
What is the treatment for chronic aoritc regurgitation
Vasodilators (reduce regurgitant volume + increase ejection fraction)
Specifically ACE inhibitors are most helpful
What is the management for mitral steonisis if they also have A FIB or a history of emboli or significant left atrial enlargement
Warfarin (INR 2-3)
What is a “water hammer” or “corrigan pulse”
Wide pulse pressue asscoated with aortic regurgitation
What is the character of the murmur associated with aortic stenosis
Crescendo-decrescendo
Papillary muscle dysfunction post-MI can lead to what valve disorder
Mitral regurgitation
What position can you put the patient in to better hear tricuspid regurgitation
Inspiration
When do you hear a murmur assocated with tricuspid regurgitation
Pan-systolic
Allll of the systole
Which is more common, acute or chronic aortic regurgitation
Chronic
What is the management for mitral valve prolapse
Life style changes
**if arrhythmia = beta blockers
What are triggers for symptoms for mitral stenosis
- Sudden exertion
- Excitement
- Fever
- Severe anemia
- Tachycardia
- Sexy time
- Preggo
- Thyrotoxicosis
- A fib
***bolded on the slides
Low pitch “rumble”, S1 accentuated, opening snap after S2 diastolic murmur heard at the apex
Mitral Stenosis
Where do you hear tricuspid regurgitation best
LLSB
When is a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur louder, with valsalva or squatting
Valsalva
Which is opposite of valvular aortic stenosis
When do you hear a murmur associated with mitral stenosis
Mid-late diastole
What would cause subvalvular aortic stenosis
Congenital or
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
When do you hear a murmur associated with aortic regurgitation
Diastole
Where do you hear pulmonic regurgitation best
2 LICS
If someone has mild, asymptomatic aortic stenosis, what is the treatment?
Educate about symptoms
What is the treatment for chronic mitral regurgitation
- ACE inhibitors
- Vasodilators
- Diuretics
- Digitalis
- Warfarin (INR = 2-3)
What is the treatment for acute aortic regurgitation
Urgent cardiology consult
Which murmur is the MOST associated with rheumatic disease
Mitral stenosis
Which murmur can often radiate to the neck
Aortic stenosis
When do you hear a murmur associated with aortic stenosis
Mid systolic
Medium pitch, blowing, radiates to right sternum and xiphoid pansystolic murmur heard best at LLSB
Tricuspid regurgitation
What are the benefits and downsides to tissue valves for aortic stenosis
Benefit: no warfarin
Downside: does not last as long
With chronic aortic regurg, patients will eveltually develop signs of:
Heart failure
If someone has a prosthetic valve to treat aortic stenosis, what are the benefits and downsides?
Benefit: lasts longer
Downside: life long warfarn
Where do you hear pulmonic stenosis best
2-3 LICS
Where do you hear aortic regurgitation best
2-4 LICS
When do you hear a murmur associated with mitral regurgitation
Pansystolic
Alllll of systole
Where do you hear aortic stenosis best
2 RICS
Medium pitch, harsh, radiates to left should and neck mid-systolic murmur heard best at 2nd-3rd LICS
Pulmonic Stenosis
