preferred as long as the valve is mobile, relatively thin, and free of calcium and there is no left atrial clot or more than mild mitral regurgitation (MR)
TEE before to eval MR and r/o clot
surgery if perc is CI+ low-intermediate risk for surgery+ severe MS

Q

valve choice in bleeders

Study These Flashcards
A

bioprosthetic (reasonable in 50-70 yo) over mechanical

consider bioprosthetic in anyone at increased risk of bleeding even just from high risk activities such as motorcycling

24
Q

early surgery in IE indications

Study These Flashcards
A

heart failure, perivalvular extension, and embolic events

repair preferred

25
AS treatment
replace if severe and symptomatic / asymptomatic+severe+reduced EF/ very severe but asymptomatic/ rapid progression/ at time of other cardiac surgery
26
early systolic click+ crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur + decrescendo diastolic murmur
bicuspid aortic valve with AR
27
high pitched sound after S1 pulmonary ejection sound
ejection click due to dilated aorta or pulmonary artery or bicuspid or flexible stenotic aortic or pulmonary valve decreases with inspiration
28
AS vs MR | HCM murmur
handgrip (increases afterload): decreases vs increases valsalva/abrupt standing (decreases VR): increases due to decreased size of LVOT and increased gradient squatting (increases VR)
29
Periop bridging for patients with mechanical valve if
atrial fibrillation, mitral valve position, previous thromboembolism, hypercoagulable condition, older-generation mechanical valves [ball-cage or tilting disc], left ventricular systolic dysfunction, or >1 mechanical valve *don't even hold if low bleeding risk- cataract surgery*
30
severe AR replace
vena contracta > 0.6/ holodiastolic aortic flow reversal/ RVol> 60/ RF>50%/ ERO> 0.3 severe symptomatic AR or (asympt + EF <50%/ LVS diameter > 50mm/ diastolic > 65)
31
TEE in IE
change in clinical signs or symptoms (e.g., new murmur, embolism, persistent fever, heart failure [HF], abscess, or atrioventricular heart block) and in patients at a high risk of complications (e.g., extensive infected tissue/large vegetation on initial echocardiogram or staphylococcal, enterococcal, fungal infections).
32
Abnormal conduction in aortic valve IE
valve ring between the right and noncoronary cusp; this anatomic site overlies the intraventricular septum that contains the proximal ventricular conduction system.
33
Mechanical mitral valve antithrombotic bioprosthetic valve
aspirin (CI if active bleeding/intolerant) + warfarin (INR 2.5-3.5), higher if thrombotic event on AC *any mechanical valve= aspirin+ warfarin* low dose aspirin, can add warfarin in 90 days after TAVR and 180 days after surgery if not at increased risk for bleeding, can do plavix+asa for 6 months after TAVR if unable to AC
34
Antibiotic prophylaxis for endocarditis prior to dental procedures that involve manipulation of the gingival tissues, the periapical region of the teeth, or perforation of oral mucosa indications
prosthetic material prior history of infective endocarditis cardiac transplant recipients with valvulopathy, completely repaired congenital heart disease (CHD) in the previous 6 months repaired CHD with residual shunts or defects unrepaired cyanotic CHD
35
Meds for IE prophylaxis can't take PO allergic to -cillins
amoxicillin cefazolin/ ampicillin/ ceftriaxone cephalexin/ clinda/ azithro
36
LFLG AS management
due to reduced EF or low stroke volume with preserved EF | AVR if there is contractile reserve-> find out and confirm AS on dobutamine stress
37
Measure of MR severity in late systolic, asymptomatic MR | Holosystolic MR
``` Regurgitant volume (discrepancy between EROA and Rvol) other measures such as PISA, vena contracta, jet area ```
38
worsening AS murmur
the ejection sound and the intensity of A2 diminish; the murmur peaks later in systole. The AS murmur increases after a premature ventricular contraction. *AS= single S2 due to delayed closure of aortic valve, louder after PVC/brady/pause*
39
Dilated aortic root or ascending aorta
Evaluate for AR or bicuspid valve with TTE | Cath if large enough to warrant repair (>5.5)
40
STS score for TAVR
>8%
41
Gallavardin phenomenon vs MR
AS, a harsh murmur at the base with a musical murmur at the apex vs holosystolic
42
Increased pulmonary artery (PA) oxygen saturation
due to L-R shunt like VSD
43
secondary MR | treatment
due to adverse LV remodeling | improve ventricular function and volume status (DO NOT REPLACE/REPAIR.)
44
rheumatic heart disease secondary prevention abx residual valvular disease no residual disease fever without carditis
oral penicillin V twice daily, monthly benzathine penicillin G intramuscular injection, or daily sulfadiazine penicillin prophylaxis for 10 years from the last episode of acute rheumatic fever or until the age of 40 10 years or age 21 (whichever is longer) 5 years or age 21
45
severe asymptomatic surveillance
6 months to 1 year if velocity is >4 1-2 years if velocity is 3.0-3.9 m/sec 3-5 years if velocity is 2.0-2.9 m/sec
46
severe asymptomatic AS surveillance
6 months to 1 year if velocity is >4 1-2 years if velocity is 3.0-3.9 m/sec 3-5 years if velocity is 2.0-2.9 m/sec
47
single S2
pulmonic stenosis, severe aortic stenosis, congenital absence of the pulmonic valve, transposition of the great arteries, or pulmonary htn
48
Types of MR
I: normal leaflet motion (primary) II: excessive leaflet motion (flail, prolapse, primary) IIIa: restricted leaflet motion (MAC/ rheumatic disease, primary) IIIb: restricted due to LV dysfunction (secondary, lateral wall hypokinesis, tethered pap muscle)
49
Post valve implant care
TTE 6 weeks-3 months after then annual exam in bioprosthetics, routine TTE starting at 10 years (no routine TTE for mechanical)
50
BAV and an ascending aortic aneurysm >4.5 cm surveillance
annual imaging | also if increase >0.5cm/year or family history of aortic dissection
51
HTN in chronic AR treatment
dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers or ACEI/ARB
52
inferior wall MI pap muscle rupture
posteromedial
53
asymptomatic primary severe MR + (LVEF of 30-60% or LVESD of 40 mm)
repair
54
new HF+ h/o valve replacement
evaluate for valve dysfunction
55
BAV+ aortopathy surgery
>5.5 cm, >0.5 cm/year, or family history of dissection
56
asymptomatic severe AS
normally wouldn't intervene BUT exercise test if not highly active. Intervene if SBP does not rise by 20 or symptoms develop
