Valvular Heart Disease, Endocarditis & Cardiomyopathy Flashcards
match preload and afterload with stretch and squeeze
preload = stretch
afterload = squeeze
_______ = is the end diastolic volume @ beginning of systole
preload
________ = Ventricular pressure at the end of systole, systemic resistance aka BP
afterload
stenosis vs regurgitation
stenosis = stiffening, narrowing, smaller
regurgitation = back flow
stenosis effects the heart velve when it is open or closed?
OPEN –>can’t open enough and blood is having a hard time getting through the valve
regurgitation effects the heart valve when it open or closed?
CLOSED –> valve is not closed well enough and blood flows backwards
valves between left AV and Right AV
LEFT AV = mitral
RIGHT AV = tRIcuspid
back to patho- which side of heart pumps blood to body and which side pumps to lung?
right side = goes to lungs
left side = goes to body
back to patho- which side of heart pumps blood to body and which side pumps to lung?
right side = goes to lungs
left side = goes to body
common causes of mitral valve stenosis vs aortic stenosis — which one is more common?
mitral valve stenosis causes = Rheumatic Carditis or congenital anomalies
aortic valve stenosis = Wear and Tear” or Congenital (Bicuspid or unicuspid)
aortic stenosis = most common cardiac valve dysfunction
how is mitral valve stenosis different then mitral valve prolapse?
stenosis = • Valve leaflets fuse, become stiff and chordae tendineae shorten • Narrow valve opening
prolapse = • Enlarged valvular leaflets that prolapse into left atrium during systole (should turn in towards the ventricle but don’t!)
what will mitral valve stenosis lead to?
• Prevents normal blood flow from left atrium to left ventricle
◦ Increased atrial pressure
◦ Dilated left atrium
◦ Increased pulmonary pressure
◦ Right ventricle hypertrophy
◦ Pulmonary congestion
◦ Right sided HF –>Left sided HF (Reduced Preload)
woah woah woah- what the difference between right sided and left sided heart failure?
Left = blood backing up into the LUNGS causing decrease O2 to the body
Right = fluid backing up into the BODY
assessment findings for mitral valve stenosis?
• May be asymptomatic
• Difficulty breathingPulmonary edema
• Coughing
• JVD
• Edema in extremities
• Development of A-fib?
• Diastolic murmur
type of murmur with mitral valve stenosis =
diastolic
◦ mitral valve is open during diastole and would hear sound of resistance of blood pushing through
what does mitral valve regurgitation lead to ?
• Backflow of blood into left atrium during left ventricle contraction
◦ Hypertrophy of left ventricle and atrium
causes of mitral valve regurgitation?
• Fibrotic and calcific changes that prevent the mitral valve from closing during systole
• Caused by aging process, endocarditis, congenital abnormalities, RHD
assessment findings for mitral valve regurgitation
• Asymptomatic for many years
• Symptoms occur when the left ventricle can no longer overcome the blood volume
• Decreased Cardiac output
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Anxiety
• Difficulty breathing
• Palpitations
• Chest pain
• **Afib – highest risk of all the valvular disorders
• Right sided failure…
• **High pitched systolic murmur, S3
type of murmur with mitral regurgitation?
• High pitched systolic murmur, S3
mitral valve prolapse causes?
• Often congenital (downs syndrome, marfans syndrome)
mitral valve prolapse assessment findings
• Asymptomatic or Symptomatic
◦ Chest pain
◦ Dizziness
◦ Palpitations
◦ Midsystolic click, late systolic murmur
type of murmur with mitral valve prolapse?
◦ Midsystolic click, late systolic murmur
what will aortic stenosis lead to?
• Ventricular hypertrophy
◦ Over time, left ventricle cannot meet the needs of body on exertion
**Left sided HF –> Right sided failure
–> may need surgery
assessment findings for aortic stenosis
• Fixed cardiac output (can’t accommodate increased demand)
◦ poor perfusion abilities (decreased pulses, kidney function)
• Angina
• Difficulty breathing
• Syncope
• Fatigue
• Debilitation
• Peripheral cyanosis
• Systolic murmur –> aortic valve is open during systole
type of murmur with aortic stenosis?
• Systolic murmur –> aortic valve is open during systole
what happens in aortic regurgitation?
• Aortic valve leaflets don’t close well during diastole
• Blood flows back from aorta to left ventricle
◦ Dilated ventricle/ Hypertrophy
