26
Q

Elevated RA pressure leads to _____.

A

increased venous pressure

27
Q

Where would a tricuspid stenosis murmur be heard?

A

near the sternum and it would intensify with inspiration

28
Q

What causes an opening snap?

A

stiff mitral valve flaps shooting open during rapid filling phase

29
Q

What is mitral stenosis?

A

stiffening of the mitral valve that doesn’t allow blood through well

30
Q

When would you treat mitral valve stenosis?

A
  1. when the pt is symptomatic 2. if the pt has pulm HTN 3. if the pt has A-fib
31
Q

What can cause tricuspid regurg?

  1. a congenital structure abnormality 2. endocarditis 3. heart disease 4. Rheumatic fever 5. radiation 6. drugs
32
Q

What does a midsystolic click followed by a late systolic murmur indicate?

A

mitral valve prolapse

33
Q

What is aortic regurgitation?

A

blood comes backwards thru the aortic valve to the LV

34
Q

What is acute rheumatic fever?

A

an inflammatory condition involving the heart, skin, and/or CT 2a to a group A strep infection

35
Q

What can damage the mitral valve and therefore cause MV regurg?

A
  1. myxomatous degeneration 2. ischemic heart disease 3. endocarditis 4. Rheumatic heart disease 5. LV enlargement (stretches out MV)
36
Q

How does a mitral stenosis murmur sound?

A

a diastolic murmur starting right after at S2 with an opening snap and then decrescendo with a pre-systolic accentuation

37
Q

When is S3 normal?

A

in young people

38
Q

The ____ valve opens in diastole, allowing blood to flow from the LA to the LV.

A

A

EKG findings of mitral stenosis

41
Q

What is tricuspid regurg?

A

tricuspid valve doesn’t close completely during systole, allowing blood to flow backwards into the RA

Q

How are S3 and S4 heard best?

A

at the apex in the L lateral decubitus position
