Q

what are the symptoms of aortic stenosis?

A
  • syncope upon exertion
  • angina (chest pain)
  • dyspnoea
  • fatigue, palpitations
  • sudden death due to arrhythmia from pressure overload
  • can be asymptomatic
  • murmur discovered in routine physical exam

Q

what is pressure overload and what does it lead to?

A

it is the generation of high LV systolic pressure to force blood through the obstruction and it results in left ventricular hypertrophy

Q

what heart sounds do you hear during aortic stenosis?

A

- soft heart sound in more severe cases

16
Q

what symptoms do you get with aortic regurgitation?

A
  • often asymptomatic
  • chest pain due to decreased coronary perfusion and diastolic BP reduces
  • breathlessness
  • syncope: uncommon
  • catastrophic decompensation if acute, fulminant pulmonary oedema
17
Q

what 3 types of mitral regurgitation are there?

A

1) valvular
2) chordal rupture/papillary muscle failure
3) annular dilatation

18
Q

what consequences are there of mitral regurgitation?

A
  • volume overload in left ventricle
  • pressure overload of right heart
  • left ventricular dilatation
  • decompensation
19
Q

what heart sounds do you heart with mitral regurgitation?

A

pan-systolic murmur

20
Q

what are the symptoms of mitral regurgitation?

A
  • breathlessness due to back pressure of pulmonary circulation
  • lethargy and reduced exercise tolerance due to breathlessness and reduced cardiac output
  • palpitations: atrial fibrillation due to pressure overload in atrium
  • peripheral oedema
  • chest pain
21
Q

what is mitral valve prolapse?

A

initially valves shut during the early part of systole but then either because of the leaflet is too “baggy” or because of abnormal subvalvular apparatus the leaflet prolapses back into the left atrium potentially allowing through a jet of regurgitation

22
Q

what are possible causes of mitral stenosis?

A

1) rheumatic fever (almost always)
2) congenital
3) storage disease
4) malignancy
5) previous endocarditis
6) mitral valve calcification
7) systemic disease

23
Q

what are the consequences of mitral stenosis?

A
  • lung/right heart consequences

- left ventricle physiology usually preserved

24
Q

what heart sounds do you hear for mitral stenosis?

A
  • mid-diastolic murmur
  • opening snap
  • loud first heart sound
25
Q

what symptoms do you get for mitral stenosis?

A
  • breathlessness
  • peripheral oedema
  • haemoptysis
  • palpitations
  • systemic emboli
  • fatigue
  • compressive symptoms: stridor, dysphagia
26
Q

how do you manage valvular heart disease?

A
  • valve repair

- valve replacement

27
Q

which valve has been replaced if the first heart sound sounds metallic?

A

mitral

28
Q

what valve has been replaced if the second heart sound sounds metallic?

A

aortic

29
Q

what do you use to fix a mitral valve?

A

mitraclip
