11
Q

CF of AS

A
SOB on exertion +- chest pain
Syncope
Fatigue 
Palpitation 
Narrow pulse pressure (distance between SBP + DBP)
Thrill 
Slow rising pulse - volume increases with pulsation

Q

Investigation AS

A

ECGLVH - on ECG
ECHO - hypotrophy LV muscle, valve area < 1cm2

Q

Risk for MR

A

AF, pulmonary hypertension, VTE
Acute: rapid pulmonary oedema
Chronic: LV dilatation +- failure

17
Q

CF of MR, what does it sound like on auscultation

A

SOB +- cough
Fatigue
Palpitations
shhhhhh dub

18
Q

Differentials MR

A

VSD

19
Q

Mgmt for chronic and acute MR

A

Chronic: surgical valve repair or replacement
Acute: Diuretics (acute p oedema - OMFG), may require +ve inotropes (adrenaline), intra-aortic ballon pump.

20
Q

Aortic regurgitation

A
Bicuspid valve
Collagen disorders (marfans
21
Q

CF of AR

A

Fatigue

syncope

Widened pulse pressure
Collapsing pulse
early diastolic murmur - aortic region, louder leaning forward in exportation
Lung basal crackles

22
Q

Mgmt of AR

A

Surfical AVR

ECHO

23
Q

Mitral Stenosis

A

Degeration

Rheumatic fever

24
Q

CF of MS

A

Palpitations
Haemoptysis

Malar flush
Raised JVP

Mid diastolic rumbling murmur + opening snap
Loudest at apex - LL
Heptomegaly, ascite, oedema 

Inv
CXR: HF
ECG: RVH, p mitrale

25
Q

Inv of MS

A

Inv
CXR: HF
ECG: RVH, p mitrale

RF for infective endocarditis

A

Valve disease/replacement
IVDU
Previous IE/Congential HD
Poor oral hygiene

28
