most common cause of TR
rheumaic HD with co-existing TR and often mitral or aortic valve disease
197
TR characteristic murmur and where
holosystolic | right or left SB or xiphoid area/soft or absent in TR is even severe
198
AS: CXR feature
prominent ascending aortic arch dt aortic dilation
199
Class I of NYHA coincides with which stage of ACCF/AHA stage of HF
A. at risk for HF but without structural HD or symptoms of HF
200
MS: the valve area of ___ causes prolonged diastolic filling time and elevated mean LAP are incapable of maintaining normal LVEDV, and decreasses in LV volume occur = symptoms at REST
< 1 cm2
201
fluid goal in TR
maintain volume/CVP high-normal | facilitates adequate RV and LV filling
202
valvular HD: one dysfunction dominates other dysfunction. Based on severity of clinical symptoms. Can have stenosis w/ insufficiency or insufficiency w/ stenosis describes which valvular classification.
Mixed Lesions
203
MR: high SVR consequences
LV decompenstion - reduce afterload w/ vasodilators (nipride +/- inotropic) to improve LV function - EXTREME reduction in BP = low CBF, low CO
204
AS always associated w/ some degree of aortic regurge (T/F)
T - almost always
205
Ao: normal valve area
2.5 - 3.5 cm2
206
valvular classificationn (type of lesions) based on 3 things
1. stenosis 2. insufficiency 3. mixed
207
AS: what does LAP do to accomadate LV filling
LAP inc to maintain CO | - if LVEF is < 40%, CO maintained ONLY with inc LAP (25-30%)
208
LAP > ___ mmHg can cause inc PAP
18 | increases PVR -> RV failure
209
TR: Nitrous implications
weak PA vasoconstrictor could INC TV regurgitation --AVOID --
210
MS: preop anxiolytic implications
increases susceptibility to ventilator-depressant effect
211
TR surgery prevalence
rarely done
212
NH on MVP antibiotic prophylaxis in dental procedure
Infective Endocarditis (IE) for dental procedures should be recommended only for patients with underlying cardiac conditions associated with the highest adverse outcomes from IE
213
MS: narrowed valve; 2 hemodynamic consequences (hint: gradient and flow/LV volume)
1. gradient develops across valve orifice (compensatory change to maintain flow) 2. flow is restricted and LV volume DEC
214
MVP pathophys
myxomatous degeneration of cusps replacing normal fibrous tissue - leaflets become supple and redundant - affect chordae tendineae - more pliable and elongated
215
MVP: this population may have CHF, exercise intolerance, orthopnea, DOE, on diuretics/ACEi, midsystolic to holosystolic murmur, S3 gallop and sx of Pulm edema
