Valvular Heart Disease + Murmurs - Dr. Johnston Flashcards
ventricular HD most common reasons
- Myxomatous degeneration (MVP)
2. Congenital (Bicuspid Aortic Valve)
Stenosis and Regurgitation does what to the heart
S : Pressure overload, hypertrophy and HF
R : Volume overload , dilation and arrhythmia
6 causes of Systolic murmur
- Aortic stenosis
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Mitral regurg
- Tricuspid regurg
- VSD
- ASD
5 causes of diastolic murmur
- Aortic regurg
- Pulmonary regurg
- Mitral stenosis
- Tricuspid stenosis
- Atrial Myxoma
murmur grading scale
1-6
1 : barely
2. Faint
3. easy to hear
4. loud + palpable thrill
5. heard with stethoscope barley touching + thrill
6. can hear without stethoscope + palpable thrill
4 causes of ACUTE mitral regurgitation
- Ischemic papillary muscle prob (MI, CAD)
- chordal tendineae rupture
- Infective endocarditis
- Volume overload, high LA P, edema, cadiogenic shock
4 causes of CHRONIC mitral regurgitation
- Mitral valve prolapse
2. Myxomatous / degenerative valve / mitral annular calcification
Mitral regurgitation ascultation
= blowing at apex
= radiates to left axilla
= low S1
= use diaphragm
Mitral Valve Prolapse ascultation
= at apex
= click or murmur increases with Valsalva + standing
tx for mitral prolapse
reassure , if sx give BB
Tricuspid regurgitation auscultation
= blowing left 4th ICS
= increase with inspiration (Carvallo sign)
Tricuspid regurgitation PE ,
prominent V wave in elevated JVP, other then that usually asymptomatic
reasons for TR
= pulmonary htn, disease,
= RV MI
= inferior wall MI
= Pacemaker
Aortic Stenosis triad sx
- SOB
- Angina
- Syncope
Aortic Stenosis ascultation
= crescendo –> decreasendo
= harsh right 2nd ICS
= radiates to sternal notch and carotids
Aortic Stenosis PE
weak pulse, and slow (parvus and tardus)
