Q

Who is most commonly affected by mitral stenosis?

A
  • Women
  • Rheumatic patients
20
Q

What is the normal mitral valve orifice surface area?

A

4 - 6 cm²

21
Q

At what surface area do symptoms for mitral valve stenosis start to develop?

A

< 2 cm²

22
Q

What are the s/s of mitral stenosis?

A
  • Exertional dyspnea
  • Orthopnea
  • Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
  • Pulmonary edema
  • Pulmonary HTN
  • A-Fib
23
Q

How is mitral stenosis treated?

A
  • Rate control “Normal” & NO atrial arrhythmias!
  • ↓LAP (diuretics)
  • Anticoagulation
  • Surgical correction
24
Q

What EKG abnormalities are common with mitral stenosis?

A
  • Notched P waves
  • A-Fib
25
Q

What are the anesthetics goals for a patient with mitral stenosis?

A

Maintain normal parameters for HR, volume status, and afterload.

26
Q

What is more common, mitral stenosis or regurgitation?

A

Regurgitation (2% of US population)

27
Q

What type of murmur would be auscultated with mitral regurgitation?

A

Holosystolic murmur at the cardiac apex

28
Q

What less invasive cath lab procedure is used to treat mitral regurgitation?

A

Mitra-clip

29
Q

What β-blocker is preferred for mitral regurgitation?

A

Carvedilol

30
Q

What are the anesthetic goals for mitral regurgitation patients?

A
  • “improve forward LV SV and decrease regurgitant fraction”
  • prevent increase in BP & SVR (Afterload)
  • normal to slightly high HR
  • Full, Fast & Forward
31
Q

What heart rate would you want to maintain with mitral regurgitation?

A

Normal to slightly increase HR

Bradycardia will increase LV volume overload.

32
Q

What type of pathology would cause early-life development of aortic stenosis?

A

Bicuspid Aortic Valve

33
Q

What is the normal surface area of the aortic valve?

A

2.5 - 3.5 cm²

34
Q

What is the surface area of a severely stenotic aortic valve?

A

< 1 cm²

35
Q

What pathology would be expected for a systolic or mid-systolic murmur hear in the right upper sternal border?

A

Aortic Stenosis

36
Q

What symptoms are seen with aortic stenosis becomes critical?

A
  • Angina
  • Syncope
  • Dyspnea on exertion
37
Q

____% of aortic stenosis patients will die within three years without a valve replacement

A

75%

38
Q

What EKG characteristics would be seen for a patient with aortic stenosis?

A
  • ST depression
  • T-wave inversion
39
Q

What non-surgical treatments are available for aortic stenosis?

A
  • Balloon valvotomy for younger patients
  • TAVR
40
Q

What type of anesthetic technique is generally better for patients with aortic stenosis?

A

General Anesthesia

41
Q

What are common causes of chronic aortic regurgitation?

A
  • Endocarditis/rheumatic fever
  • Bicuspid AV
  • Anorexigenic drugs
42
Q

What are the two common causes of acute aortic regurgitation?

A
  • Endocarditis
  • Aortic dissection
43
Q

What two factors determine the degree of regurgitant blood flow from a dysfunctional aortic valve?

A
  • Time available for flow (HR)
  • Pressure gradient (SVR)
44
Q

What type of murmur would be heard with aortic regurgitation?

A

Early to mid-diastolic murmur at left sternal border

45
Q

What blood pressure abnormalities are often seen with aortic regurgitation?

A
  • Widened pulse pressure
  • decreased dBP
  • Bounding pulses
