Q

Squatting is a provocative maneuver for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and works by

Q

Surgery for AS

A

TAVR (transaortic valve replacement)

  • Put in a new valve (bioprosthetic or mechanical)
  • Elderly need valve for 10-15 yrs, use bioprosthetic
  • 50 year old or younger pt- use mechanical (only need 1 operation vs multiple replacements with bioprosthetic), need to take coumadin with this

Q

Shone’s syndrome

A
  • Subvalvular membrane

23
Q

Cardiac exam with Aortic Regurgitation will show

A
  • High pitched blowing, early diastolic decrescendo murmur (on LSB if valvular on RSB if aortic)
  • Wide pulse pressure, low diastolic pressure, bounding pulses (quick rising), laterally displaced PMI
  • S3 gallop
24
Q

Another murmur that may be heard with aortic regurg

A

Austin-flint murmur at apex (diastolic MR; MV struck by regurgitant jet, you will not hear loud S1 or OS which is common w/ mitral stenosis)

25
Q

Other cardiac signs with aortic regurg

A
  • Quinckes pulse: capillary pulsation
  • DeMusset’s sign (head bobbing)
  • Corrigan’s sign: water hammer pulse
  • Durosier’s sign: femoral retrograde bruits
  • Bisferiens pulse
  • Mueller’s sign: systolic pulsation of uvula
  • Traube’s sign: pistol shot femorals
  • Hill’s sign- BP lower ext > BP upper ext
26
Q

CXR with aortic regurg shows

A

*Cardiomegaly, boot-shaped heart, LV enlargement (dilated LV)

27
Q

Chronic Aortic insufficiency

A

Start with ace inhibitor or calcium channel blocker

-Chronic AI, LV has lots of time to adapt to increased flow volume (hypertrophies eccentrically, keeps forward output okay), eventually lose compensatory, eventually flow forward flow decreases and this mechanism fails

28
Q

Aortic Regurgitation (acute) can be from

A

Endocarditis, Aortic dissection, ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

29
Q

Aortic Regurgitation (acute), patient usually has history of

A

Acute pulmonary edema

30
Q

Cardiac exam with acute aortic regurg

A
  • Short diastolic murmur

- Faint S1

31
Q

CXR

A

Normal heart size, pulmonary congestion

32
Q

Acute AI, surgery or no?

A

Surgical emergency!!

33
Q

For chronic AI pt, don’t use

A

Don’t use beta blocker, more regurgitation (prolongs diastole)

34
Q

Mitral Regurgitation (Chronic), causes are

A
  • MVP (valve prolapse)
  • **Rheumatic fever (more likely MS)
  • secondary (ischemic, cardiomyopathy)
  • usually seen post MI
  • LV dilatation
35
Q

Mitral Regurgitation (Chronic) shows history of

A

Late-onset of CHF, later R-heart failure

36
Q

Cardiac exam of chronic MR shows

A
  • holosystolic, high pitched “blowing murmur” murmur
  • loudest at apex, radiates to axilla
  • S3 gallop and wide-split S2
37
Q

CXR of chronic MR shows

A

Cardiomegaly, LV/LA enlargement

38
Q

Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE causes

A

Endocarditis, papillary muscle rupture in setting of MI

39
Q

Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE, patient shows hx of

A

Acute pulmonary edema

40
Q

Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE cardiac exam shows

A

-Decrescendo systolic murmur radiates to neck if posterior leaflet and back if anterior leaflet, loud P2, widely split S2

41
Q

CXR for Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE shows

A

Pulmonary edema, normal heart size

42
Q

Echo for Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE shows

A
flail leaflet (if papillary muscle was ruptured)
**WILL SEE LARGE V WAVES** (test)
43
Q

Mitral Regurgitation ACUTE, surgery or no?

A

URGENT, can temporize with vasodilators

44
Q

MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) Squatting vs standing?

KNOW THIS!

A

Squatting- more filling- more blood- longer time before you heart the click- its closer to S2

Standing- less blood on left side- less filling- shorter on the click- heart it closer to S1

45
Q

Mitral stenosis causes

A
  • *Rheumatic fever

- calcifications

46
Q

Mitral stenosis, patient hx

A

Late-onset of CHF, later R-heart failure

47
Q

Mitral stenosis cardiac exam

A
  • follows opening snap
  • deceased interval between S2 and opening snap means its more severe (no snap if end state, too much stenosis)
  • Diastolic rumble at apex -short S2-OS interval, loud P2, RV heave
  • Anything that increases the gradient will increase the murmur intensity
  • LA pressure > LV pressure during diastole
48
Q

EKG for MS will show

A

left atrial enlargement and
a fib
-GIANT P WAVES

*NOTHING HAPPENS TO L VENT

49
Q

CXR for MS will show

A

50
Q

Mitral stenosis, patient will present with

A

-will have hoarseness (pressing on recurrent laryngeal nerve)

51
Q

Tricuspid Regurgitation causes

A

Rheumatic, carcinoid, functional from RV failure, Ebstein’s anomaly (congenital displacement of anterior tricuspid valve leaflet, severe TR)
-(commonly caused by RV dilation)

52
Q

TR pt history
