Q

MVP has what effect on the morphology of the valve?

What are the SX?

What does it sound like?

It’s sound increases with…

What should you do?

A

Redundant tissue w/ myxomatous degeneration

Usually ASX

Mid-systolic click

Increases with decreased ventricular vol

Reassure or give BB is symptomatic

Q

Tricuspid regurg is usually…

When should you be worried?

What does it sound like?

What is noted on the jugular venous pulse?

A

Common, ASX and functional.

If associated with pulm HTN, lung disease, RV infarct, MI, IE or pacemaker.

Blowing systolic murmur at 4th ICS at LSB. Increases on inspiration (Carvallo sign).

Prominent V wave

Q

Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by:

What happens to the heart as a consequence?

Q

How does an aortic stenosis murmur sound?

What heart sound is diminished?

The pulses will be parvus and tarvus. What does that mean?

What pattern is seen on ECG?

A

Crescendo-decrescendo, harsh at 2 ICS at RSB and radiated to sternal notch/carotids.

Diminished S2

Parvus - weak/small
Tarvus - slow rising, late

LVH, strain pattern (down sloping of ST segment - T wave)

What happens on ECG?

A

RHD

Associated with mitral stenosis; females

Inspiration (Carvallo sign)

Q

Aortic insufficiency/regurg is acutely caused by: (3)

Chronic aortic insufficiency/regurg? (4)

On pathology there is…

SX for acute vs. chronic:

A

IE, aortic dissection, chest trauma

Calcific degenration, BAV, dilated aortic root, RHD

Vol overload*; LVH

Acute - pulmonary edema from IE
Chronic - dyspnea, orthopnea, angina
