mitral regurg tx?

33
Q

what do you see on pressure tracing with mitral regurg?

A

combined c and v wave which is large

34
Q

aortic stenosis etiology

A

< 30 yo = unicom valve calcification
30-70 = bicuspid valve calcification
> 70 yo = calcification of a normal valve

35
Q

risk factors for developing aortic stenosis?

A

HTN, hypercholesterol, smoking

36
Q

signs & sx of aortic stenosis

A
  • pressure in LV increases = hypertrophy & decreased compliance
  • increased pressure in LA (LA enlarged, Afib)
  • angina pectoris
  • dyspnea
  • sudden death
    *** progressive afterload increases on LV
37
Q

describe what aortic stenosis is like

A
  • harsh
  • systolic
  • R upper sternal border
  • radiation to carotids
38
Q

Gallavardin phenomenon

A

muscial at apex
- mimics mitral regurg
-no radiation to axilla

39
Q

signs of aortic stenosis (pulses)

A
  • smaller delayed upstroke of pulses
  • apical impulse is sustained
  • pulse pressure decreases
  • S4 can be present
40
Q

what happens to S2 in aortic stenosis?

A

A2 now comes after P2 (reversed) d/t increased pressure in the ventricle
- A2 is later but still fixed in pklace
- P2 still changes with inspiration/expiration

** S2 is often absent

41
Q

what do you see on ECG with aortic stenosis?

A

LVH with secondary repolarization changes

42
Q

what do you see on CXR with aortic stenosis?

A

normal or enlarged cardiac silhouette
- calcification of aortic valve
- dilation & calcification of ascending aorta

43
Q

what do you see on echo with aortic stenosis?

A

aortic valve calcification, valve opening, severity of LVH, LV function, increases LAP (Afib w/ atrial kickback)

44
Q

valve replacement types for aortic stenosis?

A
  1. mechanical valve - requires Warfarin & low dose ASA
  2. bioprosthetic (bovine, porcine) - 10-15 years it lasts, over the age of 60
  3. TAVR (for pts with intermediate or high surgical risk)
45
Q

what can cause aortic regurg?

A
  • post inflammatory
  • congenital bicuspid valve
  • aortic root dilation

46
Q

chronic aortic regurg from?
