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
pansystolic murmur causes
VSD
mitral regurg
tricuspid regurg
what lab might reveal onset of CHF
BNP
What is the effect of handgrip on mitral regurg murmur
causes blood to backup -> louder
what is the effect of squatting on mitral regurg murmur
increased backup and increased pre-load -> louder
mitral regurg EKG
LVH, LAH or AF
differentiate sudden onset MR from chronic MR
sudden- high LA pressure
chronic- dilated LA w/normal pressure
sudden MR causes
papillary m dysfunction
ruptured chordae
infective endocarditis w/valve perforation
chronic MR
LA and LV enlargement seen on CXR
venous curve MR
large cV
Tx MR
failing heart yields decreased EF (40mm)
needs surgery even when asymptomatic
ERO
effective regurgitant ofrifice
>40
seen in asymptomatic severe MR patients
may show as exercise induced pulmonary HTN on ECHO
MR surgery
repair if no calcification in annulus or valve, ERO >40 and chordae can be maintained
if not replacement
things that make mitral prolapse murmur lounder and longer
standing
valsavla
amyl nitrate
mitral prolapse associated w/
aortic root disease
may be part of hyperadrenergic syndrome in young females
myxomatous degeneration
atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
myxomatous degeneration
marfans, ehlers danlos,
associated w/aortic regurg
mitral prolapse Tx
beta blockers
mitral valve repair or replacement
gallaverdin phenomenon
apex murmur increases after ectopic beat and decreases w/squatting
syncope due to aortic stenosis
peripheral vasodilation due to high ventricular pressures stimulating baroreceptors in LV
reduced afterload -> increased SV, but that cannot occur due to aortic stenois so BP falls and patient passes out
aortic stenosis EKG
LVH and LAH
peak valvular gradient
when it reaches 64 can cause LV failure, angina, or syncope
aortic stenosis treatment percautions
crossing arotic vavle w/cath for CAD can induce cardiogenic shock, pulmonary edema, stroke or death
nitrates also dangerous
parvus et tardus
aortic stenosis
low gradient, low flow aortic stenosis with reduced EF
failure as a result of increased afterload or another cardiac contractility problem from IHD, MI, fibrosis, or other cardiomyopahty
Dx and Tx of aortic stenosis
dobutamine ECHO
<20% increase in SV = no muscle reserve do not replace valve
BNP and aortic stenosis
poor prognosis >550 regardless of result of dobutamine echo
treating young aortic stenosis
percutanesou vavluloplasty
treating old aortic stenosis
bovine valve
middle aged aortic stenosis Tx
mechanical plus anticoagulation
may need root replacement
transcutaenous aortic vavle replacement , but associated w/strokes
causes of wide pulse pressure
aortic regurg atherosclerosis AV fistula thryrotoxicosis anemia fever heart block
alfred mussets
nodding of head w/heart beat
corrigans pulse
large carotid pulse
duroziers pulse
diastolic murmur over femoral a on distal pressure
light house
major flushing w/heart beat
HIlls
systolic BP in LL >UL by 20
quinckes
pulsatile blanching and reddening of nail w/slight pressure applications
austin flint murmur
a low-pitched r murmur at cardiac apex.
systolic
associated with severe aortic regurgitation
absent M1
aortic insuffiency aortic dissection endocarditis HTN inflammatory disease
Tx of aortic insufficiency
BNP >130 for surgical indication
EF50mm
