Q

Bicuspid aortic valve description

A

A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is an aortic valve that only has two leaflets, instead of three. The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the heart into the aorta. The aorta is the major blood vessel that brings oxygen-rich blood to the body.

A
36
Q

Identify hemodynamic changes in aortic stenosis

A
37
Q

Pathophysiology of aortic stenosis

A
  • the LV systolic pressure increases to open the aortic valve
  • LV hypertrophy occurs from chronic increased LV pressure
  • LV compliance decreases and so LA pressure and end diastolic pressure increases
  • aortic pressure is decreased from a reduced stroke volume
  • reduced coronary perfusion during diastole
  • so increased oxygen demand and reduced perfusion/supply

also

38
Q

Coronary blood flow in Aortic stenosis

A
  • reduced end-diastolic volume
  • ventricular is less compliant
  • ventricle end-diastolic pressure is increased
  • aortic diastolic pressure is decreased so the epicardial pressure gradient is decreased and therefore the coronary blood flow is decreased and eventually leads to myocardial ischemia
39
Q

the thicker the heart muscle is…

A

, the less compliant it becomes

40
Q

A
41
Q

shifted to left

42
Q

Pressure-volume loop of decompensated aortic stenosis

6 listed

A

now the ventricle doesnt eject normally and so the LVES volume is increased because LV contractility has decreased as a result of myocardial ischemia from chronic pressure overload and LV systolic dysfunction

Q

Endocarditis

A

Endocarditis is an infection of the endocardium, which is the inner lining of your heart chambers and heart valves.Endocarditis generally occurs when bacteria, fungi or other germs from another part of your body, such as your mouth, spread through your bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in your heart.

Q

Aortic regurgitation murmur

A

62
Q

Acute Aortic regurgitation

A
  • large regurgitant volume coming to a non-adapting, non-dilating, non-accommodating ventricle so it can only dilate minimally, get a rapid increase in end-diastolic pressure translating into high atrial pressure, high pulmonary capillary pressure and pulmonary edema which is the mean pathophysiology of acute aortic regurgitation from such a sudden onset of end-diastolic volume.
  • As the ventricle responds by increasing HR and contractility but diastolic filling period is decreased but there is a further decrease of CO and eventually leads to relative ischemia and myocardial dysfunction
  • Both combined lead to heart failure
