Q

Role of mitral valve

A

Opens in diastole, allow blood to flow from LA to LV

Closes in systole to prevent blood from flowing backwards from LV to LA

Q

Clinical presentation of mitral stenosis (6)

A
  1. Dyspnea
  2. Hemoptysis
  3. Pulmonary hypertension/CHF
  4. Right sided heart failure (edema, ascites)

Q

Physical exam findings of mitral stenosis

A

Loud S1: High AV pressure keeps MV open until ventricular systole forcefully closes valve

Snap: Follows S2, due to opening of stenotic leaflets (hearing it open!) Can assess severity by listening to timing of snap - inversely proportional. Higher LA pressure forces valve to open earlier

Diastolic rumble: Low frequency decrescendo murmur due to turbulent flow across stenotic valve during diastole.

Q

Drug Tx for MS

A
  1. MOST IMPORTANT: Beta blockers slow HR and allow more time for blood to cross the MV in diastole
  2. Diuretics to treat CHF symptoms
  3. Anticoagulants if aFib is present (MV can cause stasis)

Q

What is mitral regurgitation? What causes it?

A

Inadequate mitral valve closure such that blood flows backwards, from the LV to the LA during systole

Mitral valve prolapse is the most common cause of primary mitral regurg.
May be caused by abnormality of any of the components of the MV anatomy

Q

Etiology of mitral regurgitation

A
  1. Myxomatous degeneration: MV prolapse
  2. Ischemic heart disease: papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture
  3. Endocarditis: valve deformity, perforation
  4. Rheumatic valve disease
  5. LV enlargement: stretches mitral annulus and/or papillary muscles

16
Q

What physical exam finding do you have for mitral valve prolapse?

A

Midsystolic click (between S1 and S2)- due to the sudden tensing of the chordae tendinae and mitral leaflet, followed by a late systolic murmur

17
Q

What is the clinical course of mitral valve prolapse?

A

Usually benign with good prognosis.

Primary concern is development of mitral regurgitation

18
Q

Primary mitral valve disease vs Functional mitral valve disease

A
  1. Primary mitral valve disease - Issues with the MV itself

2. Functional disease - mitral valve iself doesn’t have a problem, but LV puts extra stress on valve and causes issues.

19
Q

Hemodynamics of mitral regurgitation

A

Part of LV stroke volume is ejected backwards into LA.

  • Leads to LA elevated volume and pressure = pulmonary edema, pulmonary HTN
  • Decreased forward CO
  • Volume related stress on the LV which may lead to LV dysfunction over time
20
Q

Clinical presentation of mitral regurgitation

A

CHF:

  1. Dyspnea on exertion
  2. Orthopnea
  3. PND
  4. Edema
21
Q

Tx of mitral regurg:

A
  1. Medications
    - diuretics for CHF
    - Afterload reduction (ACE-I, and ARBs)
  2. Surgery
    - mitral valve repair or replacement
  3. Mitraclip (transcatheter valve repair)
22
Q

Indications for surgery for MR

A 
1. Symptoms
2 LV dilation
3. Decreased LV systolic function
4. New onset atrial fibrillation
5. Pulmonary hypertension
23
Q

Fxn of tricuspid valve

A

Opens in diastole to allow blood to flow from RA to RV

Closes in systole to prevent blood in RV from flowing backwards into the RA

24
Q

Tricuspid regurgitation mechanism

A

During systole, tricuspid doesn’t close adequately and blood flows backwards into RA

  • elevated RA pressure leads to INCREASED venous pressure
  • L extremity edema, ascites, hepatic congestion
25
Q

Etiology of tricuspid regurgitation

A
  1. 80% of cases are functional; secondary to annular dilation and leaflet tethering in the setting of RV dilation from volume and/or pressure overload
  2. Other causes can be: rheumatic disease, congenital disease, endocarditis, radiation, carcinoid, trauma, pacemaker leads
26
Q

Physical findings of tricuspid regurgitation

A
  1. JVD with a visible systolic “v” wave
  2. Hepatomegaly in 90% of patients, and less common systolic pulsation of liver
  3. Classically the holosystolic murmur is heard along the sternal border and increases intensity with inspiration
27
Q

Symptoms of TR

A
  1. Fatigue from low CO
  2. Abdominal fullness
  3. Edema
  4. Palpitations (if atrial arrhythmias pressent)
  5. Hepatic congestion
28
Q

Tx of TR

A
  1. If functional TR, treat underlying cause of RV pressure/overload
  2. Medications = diuretics
  3. Surgery = Tricuspid repair or replacement
29
Q

Indications for TR surgery

A
  1. Severe TR undergoing Left-sided valve surgery
  2. TV repair with less severe TR with annular dilation or R sided HF
  3. Symptomatic severe TR unresponsive to medical therapy
  4. Asymptomatic severe TR and progressive RV dilation or dysfunction

BEST IF PATIENT IS ALREADY HAVING SURGERY FOR SOME OTHER HEART ISSUE

30
Q

Triscupid stenosis

A
  1. Rare!
  2. Usually from rheumatic heart disease!
  3. Murmur similar to MS but close to the sternum and intensifies with inspiration
  4. Symptoms of dyspnea and edema. Usually occurs simultaneously with mitral stenosis
  5. Tx: Diuretics or surgery (for isolated, symptomatic severe TR)
31
Q

What type of murmur becomes louder with inspiration?

A

Tricuspid murmur from tricuspid regurgitation.
