valvular heart disease Flashcards
mean right atrial pressure
0-5
right ventricular pressure
25/5
most common cause of tricuspid stenosis in US
carcinoid
carvallos sign
right side murmurs louder on inhalation
a
atrial contraction
x
atrial relaxation
v
atrial filling
y
atrial emptying
cannon A waves
tricuspid stenosis also causes blunted y descent
tricuspid stenosis Tx
diuretics torsemide, spirolactone(for ascites)
baloon, or bioprostetic
prominent cV wave
tricuspid regurg
tricuspid regurg Tx
treat primary issue: LV failure or pulmonary HTN
true valvular defect, then use bioprosthetic valve
causes of tricuspid regurg
RV dilation (pulmonary HTN) pulmonic regurg LV failure inherent valvular problems pacemaker catheter injury endocarditis MI sarcoid RV dysplasia FenPhen
high pressure PI
prolonged RV systole w/split S2 from pulmonary HTN
graham steell murmur
treat by treating pulmonary HTN
low pressure PI
very little murmur
watch carefully
mitral valve stenosis on echo
honey stick
mitral valve stenosis venous curve
high LV wave
mitral valve stenosis of CX
straightening of left heart border
mitral stenosis auscultory findings
loud S1 (unless calcified) opening snap (unless calcified) rumbling diastolic murmur
syndromes of mitral stenosis
mild-moderate w/early pulmonary edema
severe w/bpulmonary HTN right CHF, AF, and low CO
Graham steell murmur
at left sternal border from relative PI
Mitral stenosis on EKG
neg P wave in V1
RAD
mitral stenosis Tx
ECHO evaluation scoreing system 8 or less- vavuloplasty
8-10 needs mechanical or bioprosthetic valve
S3
marker for severe mitral regurg
