Q

VHD

Most Pts w MS present during

A

PG

32
Q

VHD

Two types of valve replacement

A
  • metallic- Pt should be on long- standing warfarin
  • Bioprosthetic - durability is ~ 10 years.
33
Q

VHD

why is bioprosthetic V not replaced on young females

A

it can get damaged during PG. so they are usually put in elderly

34
Q

VHD

MR apex

A

thrusting displaced apex

35
Q

VHD

Murmur in MR

A

pansystolic murmur at the apex radiating to the axilla

36
Q

VHD

Etiology of MR

A
  • RF
  • IE
  • Degenerative
  • IHD
  • dilated cardiomyopathy
37
Q

VHD

Why does IHD cause MR

A

ruputre of papillary muscles

38
Q

VHD

Complicated MR can lead to

A

heart failure

39
Q

VHD

Ix for MR

A
  • ECG - P mitrale, AF
  • CXR- LV and LA dilated
  • 2D echo
40
Q

VHD

Mx of MR

A
  • MV repair, MV replacement
41
Q

VHD

Indications for surgery in MR

A
  • Severe acute MR
  • Severe chronic symptomatic MR
  • ASx Chronic MR w evidence of progression of LV dilatation
42
Q

VHD

How can an austin flint murmur in severe AR cause MS

A

When blood backflows through the aortic V, it can hit the MV causing a MS

43
Q

VHD

PTMC

A

send a guiding wire and cute the stenosed V

44
Q

VHD

Isovolumic contraction

A

The Ventricles will be contracting as a closed chamber until it’s pressure increases to snap open the aortic and pulmonic valves

45
Q

VHD

Ejection systole

A

When the pressure increases in the ventricles to open, blood will enter into the aorta and pulmonary artery

46
Q

VHD

Pressure changes in the cardiac cycle is reflected in the

A

internal jugular V

47
Q

VHD

waves in JVP

A
  • a wave
  • c wave
  • v wave
48
Q

VHD

Two descents in JVP

A
  • X descent
  • Y descent
49
Q

VHD

a wave

A

due to atrial systole. SVC and IVC are valveless. So when the atria is contracting during systeole, some of the blood will regurgitate and see a pulsatile wave

50
Q

VHD

c wave

A

during isovolumetric contraction. when the ventricles contract as a closed chamber, due to the force, the TV and MV will be pushed out while remaining shut. this causes a reflex wave

51
Q

VHD

V wave

A

during atrial filling

52
Q

VHD

X descent

A

atrial relaxation

53
Q

VHD

Y descent

A

ventricular filling

54
Q

VHD

Abnormalities of JVP

A
  • Non- pulsatile raised JVP
  • Loss of a wave
  • Prominent a wave
  • canon a wave
  • cv wave
  • sharp x descent
55
Q

VHD

non- pulsatile raised JVP

A

SVC obstruction. due to the block, nothing from the atria will be transmitted to the int. jugular V. Also because of the block, blood gets backedup increasing JVP

56
Q

VHD

loss of a wave

A

no proper atrial contraction like in A fib

57
Q

VHD

Prominent a wave

A

tricuspid stenosis
Pulm HTN

58
Q

VHD

How can Pulm HTN cause a prominent a wave

A

Pulm artery pressure increase overtime. RV will undergo hypertrophy. High pressure in atria to push blood into RV coz the pressure in RV increase due to the hypertrophy. More blood regurgitated to the SVC

59
Q

VHD

Canon a wave

A

in complete heart block
No connection netween the atria and ventricles. Atria is unaware of what happened in the ventricles. So atria will contract while the TV and MV closed. ( It’s the SA node that tells TV and MV to open for atrial systole) since there is a heart block, cardiac process not in sync. Pressure in atria increase more blood regurgitate to SVC.

60
Q

VHD

cv wave

A

tricuspid regurgitation. c & v become one large wave together

61
Q

VHD

sharp x descent

A

constrictive pericarditis

62
Q

VHD

VHD

A
  • displaced and hyperkinetic ( thrusting )
  • Palpitations
65
Q

VHD

Murmur in AR

A

early diastolic M best heard at lower left sternal edge and patient sitting up and holding the breath on expiration

66
Q

VHD

Peripheral signs of AR

A
  • head nodding ( de Musset’s sign)

  • Capillary pulsations (Quincke’s sign)
  • Pistol shot femorals
  • examination of the pupils - argyll robertson ( syphillis)
  • Examine the joints and back for RA, ankylosing spondylitis
67
Q

VHD

etiology of AR

A
  • Acquired
  • Congenital
68
Q
