Q

Tx of mitral regurg

A

replace valve - when EF starts to decline (to 60%)
-even asymptomatic pt

or if ERO - effective regurg orifice is 40mm

repair - if no calcification in annulus or valve

chordae cannot be maintinaed - need replacement

Q

syncope in aortic stenosis

A

peripheral vasodilation
-from high V pressure stimulates baroreceptors in left ventricle

reduced afterload - calls for increased SV which can’t occur
-due to aortic stenosis

BP falls - patient passes out

Q

peak doppler gradient

A

measurement of flow through valve orifice squared x4

ex/ 4 flow = 64 gradient

LV failure, angina, or syncope occur when peak valvular gradient reaches 64

17
Q

dangers in catheterization

A

crossing aortic valve
can induce cardiogenic shock, PE, stroke, or death

nitrates also dangerous

18
Q

critical aortic stenosis

A

mean gradient > 50
valve area < 0.75

severe calcification density, pulmonary HTN > 50 and elevated C-terminal BNP

19
Q

severe aortic stenosis to have gradient less than 30?

A

low gradient, low flow aortic stenosis with reduced EF

increased afterload or cardiac contractility problem (IHD, MI, fibrosis)

20
Q

diagnosis of low gradient, low flow aortic stenosis

A

dobutamine ECHO

<20% increase in SV indicates no muscle reserve

21
Q

bicuspid aortic valve

A

prone to stenosis, regurg, or both

associated with root dilation and coarctation

22
Q

Tx for aortic stenosis

A

young - valvuloplasty
elderly - pig valve
middle age - mechanical valve plus anticoag

often need CABG as well

transcutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVR) - associated with strokes

23
Q

squatting and handgrip

A

increased afterload

increases aortic regurg

24
Q

3/6 decrescendo diastolic murmur

A

aortic regurg

increases with squatting and handgrip

decreased with standing or valsalva

25
Q

wide pulse pressure

A

aortic insufficiency

bounding pulse with huge pulse pressure

26
Q

BP of 140/50

A

wide pulse pressure

with aortic insufficiency

27
Q

quinckes sign

A

gentle pressure on fingernail

will blanch and fill alternatively if wide pulse pressure

28
Q

corrigans sign

A

pulse that is forceful then collapses

aortic regurg

29
Q

de mussets sign

A

rhythmic nodding or bobbing of the head in synchrony with the beating of the heart

with aortic regurg

30
Q

causes of aortic regurg

A
atherosclerosis
AV fistula
thyrotoxicosis
anemia
fever
heart block
31
Q

light house

A

malar flushing with heartbeat

32
Q

A

alternating strong and weak beats

left ventricular systolic impairment

36
Q

massive hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart due to volume overload

A

cor bovinum

37
Q

surgery in aortic regurg

A

symptoms of exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and PND

LV dysfunction and contractility failure
-EF < 55%

BNP > 130

38
Q

low pitched rumbling murmur heard at apex

midsystolic or presystolic

A

austin flint murmur

aortic regurg

39
Q

absent MI, austin flint murmur, 1/6 diastolic murmur and acute CHF

A
aortic dissection
endocarditis
HTN
inflammatory disease
seronegative spondyloarthropathy
40
