most common valve disorder; calcified valves, congenital bicuspid valves.
Sx: exertional angina, syncope, dyspnea

24
Q

Aortic stenosis

A

ECG: LVH->LBBB->LAE->AFib
CXR: LVH->LAE-> failure
Echo: reduced area, increased gradiant, LVH

25
Q

Aortic stenosis treatment

A

asymptomatic: avoid exertion, serial echos
symptomatic: surgery

Avoid nitrates, ACE, vasodilators

26
Q

Aortic Insufficiency: early decrescendo, diastolic murmur heard best at Erb’s point to LLSB w/ pt sitting, leaning forward, exhaling. absent S2

A

acute: failed valve, dissection
chronic: atherosclerosis, endocarditis, marfans
Sx: dyspnea, orthopnea, PND, syncope, angina
PE: Wide Pulse pressure, displaced PMI, S3, dynamic pulses, apical heave

27
Q
Aortic Insufficiency Pulses:  
waterhammer
corrigans
quinkes
deMusset
Traubes
Duroziez
A

Waterhammer: bounding forceful
Corrigans: alternating weak & strong pulse
Quinke’s: alternating filling & blanching of capilliary finger nail bed
deMusset: rhythmic nodding of head in sync w/ femoral artery
Traubes; pistol shot systolic sound heard over femoral artery
Duroziez: audible diastolic murmur heard over femoral artery when compressed with bell stethoscope

28
Q

Aortic Insufficiency:

A

ECG: LVH-> LAE
CXR: LVH->LAE->Cardiomegaly
echo: increased regurgitant fraction
Stress test: hypotension w/ exercise

29
Q

Aortic Insufficiency treatment:

A

asymptomatic: serial echos, afterload reduction
symptomatic: avoid exertion, treat CHF: ace, vasodilators
surgery: NYHA class III/IV: replacement

30
Q

Mitral Stenosis: mid diastolic rumble heard best at apex with bell in left lateral decubitus position. LOUD S1

A

Rheumatic heart dz; increased with pregnancy, AF, tachycardia
Sx: DOE, orthopnea, fatigue, palpitations, peripheral edema.
PE: AFIB, parasternal lift, crackles

31
Q

Mitral Stenosis:

A

ECG: normal LV, LAE, RVH, RAE, Afib
CXR: LAE, CHF
echo: reduced valve area, increased gradiant, LAE

32
Q

Mitral Stenosis Treatment:

A

avoid exertion, pregnancy counseling, agressive mgmt of volume, manage AFIB and CHF
Beta blockers, digitalis
surgery NYHA III/IV: balloon->repair-> replace

33
Q

Mitral Regurgitation: holosystolic murmur at the apex or axilla with apical thrill

A

Acute: MI, Ischemia
Chronic: MVP, LV, Dilatation: CHF, DCM
Sx: dyspnea, PND, Orthopnea, palpitation, peripheral edema.
PE: displaced hyperdynamic PMI; parasternal lift, thrill, S3

34
Q

Mitral Regurgitation

A

ECG: LAE, LVH,
CXR: LAE, LVH, Failure
Echo: regurgitant fraction, LAE
Right heart CATH: elevated Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure

35
Q

Mitral Regurgitation Treatment:

A
asymptomatic: serial echos
Acute Sxs: vasodilators -> surgery
Chronic Sxs: decreased preload (diuretics) -> decrease afterload (ACE)
Surgery: for symptomatic MR
NYHA: III/IV Repair-> Replace
