18
Q

Why do you want a chest X-ray is suspected aortic regurg?

A

To check for aortic dilation

19
Q

  • Hepatomegaly
  • Diastolic murmur (LSB) that increases with inspiration
A

Tricuspid stenosis

20
Q

Prominent V wave in JVP graph, blowing systolic murmur (LSB) that increases with inspiration

A

Tricuspid regurgitation

21
Q

Tricuspid regurg. is associated with what causes?

A

  • RV infarction
  • Others
22
Q

Pulmonary HTN, diastolic blowing murmur (2nd LSB)

A

Pulmonic regurgitation

23
Q

A

Pulmonary stenosis

24
Q

Causes of mitral stenosis

A
  • RHD

- Annular calcification

25
Q

Pathophysiology (results) of MS

A
  • Increased LA pressure, decreased LV output (looks like LV failure) –> volume overload + sympathetic response
