Valvular Heart Disease Flashcards
SVC & IVC
-Brings blood back to the heart
Pulmonary Artery
only artery that has venous blood
-goes to lungs to receive oxygen
Pulmonary Vein
- bring back to LA
- oxygenated blood
LV
- Pushes blood to aorta to the rest of body
- oxygenated blood
- work horse of the heart
Atrioventricular valves
between atria and ventricles
- Tricuspid & mitral
- S1 created w/ closure
Semiulnar
- Aortic & pulmonic
- S2 w/ closure
- in ventricular outflow tracts
Aortic Valve
- Calcified and degenerates
- Most common to have issues over time
- 3 leaflet valve
S1
softer than S2 at the base; often louder at apex
S2
normal splitting of S2 with inspiration; disappears with expiration; may be normal in younger, healthy patients & children
S3
gallop; heard just after S2; ”Kentucky” or lub- dub-ta; due to extra fluid striking a compliant left ventricle
S4
heard just before S1; “Tennessee” or ta-lub-dub; associated with a thickened ventricle (hypertension) or aortic stenosis
Regurgitation or Insufficiency
benign or pathological
-Backward flow
Stenosis
- narrowing or impedence in flow
- Always pathological
Systole
-occurs between S1 & S2; feel with pulse Innocent & Physiologic murmurs Aortic stenosis Mitral Regurgitation Tricuspid Regurgitation Pulmonary Stenosis Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Diastole
(always pathological) – occurs after S2 before S1
Mitral Stenosis
Aortic Regurgitation
