Q

What does aortic stenosis cause

A

increased pressure within the LV which causes and increase pressure that the ventricle has to push against (AKA end diastolic pressure)

23
Q

What is BNP

A

Brain naturetic peptide

24
Q

If you have a high BNP what does it mean

A

the more severe the CHF

25
Q

What is aortic regurge

A

During diastole, blood that should be within the aorta/systemic circulation, is able to reenter the LV

26
Q

What kind of murmur does aortic regurge cause

A

diastolic

27
Q

what is the aortic valve attached to

A

aortic root

28
Q

What does back flow into the LV cause

A

eccentric hypertrophy (leads to dilated cardiomyopathy)

29
Q

What happens if there is a problem with the aortic root

A

causes adhered valvular cusps to separate (aneurysm / dissection)

30
Q

Where in the vessel does a dissection happen

A

Separation of the intimacy and media

31
Q

What type of CT pathology is also associated with aortic regurge

A

Marfans
Ehlers-danlos

32
Q

What are the risk factors for mitral stenosis

A

Older patients
End stage renal disease
Calcification deposits

33
Q

What is the normal opening size for the mitral valve

A

4-6cm

34
Q

When do patients become symptomatic with mitral stenosis

A

<2cm opening

35
Q

what is orthopnea

A

difficulty laying down from fluid

36
Q

How will a patient present with mitral stenosis

A

dyspnea
orthopnea
hemoptysis

37
Q

What are the causes of primary regurgitation

A

Infective endocarditis
Rheumatic heart disease
Mitral prolapse
CT disease
MI (papillary muscle rupture)

38
Q

What are the causes of secondary regurge

A

Valve is normal, the problem is in the ventricle causing change in the annular shape (HOLCOM)

39
Q

What is a mitral valve prolapse

A

Valve becomes loose / floppy
-> bends inappropriately

40
Q

What is the job of the moderator band

A

Carries large amount of the RBB to the myocardium of the RV

41
Q

Where are moderator bands found

A

near the papillary muscles

42
Q

What are some cause of tricuspid stenosis

A

Rheumatic heart disease
Carcinoid syndrome
Tumors

43
Q

What symptoms will occur with tricuspid stenosis

A

Venous issues (Incr. JVP)
Arrhythmias

44
Q

When do symptoms of tricuspid regurge get worse

A

with increased preload

45
Q

What are the common causes of tricuspid regurge

A

pulmonary HTN
Enodcarditis (IVDU)
papillary muscle rupture

46
Q

What is pulmonic stenosis

A

Thickening of the pulmonic valve with calcification = increased velocity

47
Q

What are the outcomes of pulmonary stenosis

A

-RV hypertrophy
-systolic murmur (lub)
- Diastolic dysfunction
- RV failure

48
Q

What are the causes of pulmonary stenosis

A

Congenital
Part of tetralogy of fallot

49
Q

What is tetralogy of fallot

A

Combination of 4 congenital heart defects
-VSD
-pulmonary stenosis
-misplaced aorta
-Thickened RV wall

50
Q

What kind of murmur is heard with pulmonic regurge

A

diastolic

51
Q

What are some causes of pulmonary regurge

A

Endocarditis
Carcinoid syndrome
post Valvuloplasty

52
Q

What increases the risk of endothelial disruption

A

Turbulent or high flow states

*bacteria will increase platelet aggregation = increased sequestration of microorganisms

53
Q

What is the Duke criteria for

A

To diagnosis Endocarditis

54
Q

Where do septic emboli come from

A

vegetations in the right side of the heart

55
Q

What is empyema

A

abscess in the lungs

56
Q

What is endocarditis associated with in children

A

Congenital valvular disease
nosocomial infection
rheumatic heart disease

57
Q

What are the acute causes of endocarditis
