Q

how is mitral valve stenosis different then mitral valve prolapse?

A

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!)

30
Q

type of murmur with aortic regurgitation

A

diastolic murmur

31
Q

test for looking at all these stenosis and regurgitations =

A

echocardiogram

32
Q

drugs we give to help with heart valve stuff?

A

◦ Diuretics- preload
◦ Beta Blockers - slow heart rate to reduce heart demand
◦ Digoxin- contractility
◦ Oxygen
◦ CCB’s - afterload
◦ Anticoagulants -afib and risk for clot

33
Q

◦ Bioprosthetic valve is placed through femoral or apical artery
◦ Balloon valvuloplasty then new valve is inserted
◦ New valve is deployed during transvenous pacin
=

A

• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

34
Q

◦ Run catheter to mitral valve or aortic valve and enlarges balloon =

A

• Balloon Valvuloplasty

35
Q

prosthetic vs biologic valves- duration? anticoags?

A

‣ prosthetic valve lasts longer –> increased risk of clotting –> anticoagulation for life

‣ biologic –> don’t last as long –> don’t require anticoagulation (old person)

36
Q

after surgery for valve stuff patient is at great risk for

A

ENDOCARDITIS! ABX is have dental procedure
Clots –> anticoags

37
Q

most common culprits of infective endocarditis?

A

◦ Streptococcus viridans
◦ Staphylococcus aureus

38
Q

risk factors for infective endocardiits?

A

• IV Drug Use
• History of valve replacement
• Systemic Infection
• Structural cardiac defect

39
Q

what is the patho of infective endocarditis?

A

• Infective vegetation grown on valve
As bacteria circulates in blood, it forms clumps (mixes with other components of blood) = vegetation
–>Platelets and fibrin accumulate = bigger vegetation
–>This vegetation destroys the valve leading to –>
◦ Valvular insufficiency
◦ Valve obstruction
◦ Vegetation embolizes

40
Q

infective endocarditis populations are risk examples
