Valvular Heart Disease (VHD) TR/TS Flashcards
a diastolic rumble that varies with respiration and has an opening snap, is most likely ______.
TS
_______ is the most common cause of TS
Rheumatic fever
similar to MS, the severity of TS can be assessed with the pressure-half time; however, it has been proposed that the constant 220 be replaced with the constant ______
190
the patient must likely to has mild TS if the Doppler exam reveals TVA = 1 cm2, pressure-half time = 200 ms, and mean PG = 8mmHg. T or F ?
F
TR is a holosystolic murmur that decreases with inspiration. T or F ?
F
significant TR may lead to enlargement of the RA, RV, IVC, hepatic veins, SVC, and neck veins. T or F ?
T
what is the RVSP/SPAP if the peak TRV = 3 m/s with a normal IVC diameter and > 50% inspiratory collapse ?
39 mmHg ???
if the patient has a central venous line, the central venous pressure can be used to estimate the RAP. T or F ?
T
PH is an elevation in the pressure of the pulmonary arteries caused by another disease such as diastolic heart failure or left heart disease. T or F ?
T
echo provides a noninvasive assessment of PH and an accurate systolic pulmonary artery pressure. T or F ?
T
______ is the most cause of PS
congenital heart disease ??
PS creates a harsh diastolic ejection murmur and a thrill may also be present. T or F ?
F
echo findings include a PV “a” wave of 10 mm; what is most likely the diagnosis ?
severe PS
the patient presents with congenital PS with a peak velocity of 3.5 m/s; what is most likely the diagnosis ?
peak PG = 49
_____ is an indication of PS ?
thickening of the pulmonic leaflets with systolic doming
