Valvular Disease Flashcards
(215 cards)
Primary or secondary valve HD:
-leaflets or anchoring and supporting structures are damaged (do not function properly)
primary valve dysfunction
AS: “adequate assessment of valvular stenosis” include these two
- flow rates across valve
- pressure gradient
(both via ECHO or Cath)
how does bradycardia/tachycardia effect regurgitant flow/fraction, ejection and myocardial O2 demand
brady - increased regurgitant flow/fraction
tachy - shortens ejection and inc O2 demand
- detrimental in aortic stenotic lesions
MVP medication tx
-even thou majority do not need tx due to asypmtomatic
beta blocker
- inhibit autonomic imbalance
- may INC EDV -> DEC degree of prolapse
MVP: characteristic murmur
midsystolic click and late systolic murmur
Class III of NYHA coincides with which stage of ACCF/AHA stage of HF
C. Structural HD with prior or current symptoms of HF
regurgitant fraction parameters of mild, moderate and severe
mild < 30%
moderate 30-60 %
severe > 60%
Magnitude of AR reduced by:
tachycardia
peripheral vasodilation
chronic ventricular overload
AS: preload/LVEDV goal; fluids
maintain sufficient preload
normovolemia
systemic eval of primary valvular dysfunction of status of LV loading includes 3 things
- LV overload
- pressure overloading (aortic stenosis)
- volume underloading (mitral stenosis)
Class II of NYHA coincides with which stage of ACCF/AHA stage of HF
B. Structural HD but w/o signs or Sx of HF
MR: common dysrhythmia
afib
aortic and mitral insuff: hemodynamic and HR goal
reduced afterload
faster HR - shortens time for regurgitation
MS: timeline of stenosis post RHD and appearance of Sx
2 years post RHD
Sx develop 20-30 years after initial rheumatic fever
(Primary(anatomic) or functional) MVP
-redundant and thickened leaflets
primary (anatomic) MVP
MR: Implications of PAP measurements of LVEDV in chronic vs acute
acute MR works well
chronic MR poor measure of LVEDV
MS: volatile anethetics implications
nitrous - narcotic w/ low volatile
AS: why is bradycardia not desirable
< 60 bmp
- prolonged filling time -> ventricular distension, which can further decrease CPP (esp. subendocardium)
MR: EF and end-systolic dimension correlate with no improvement w/ surgery
EF < 30%
LV end-systolic dimensions > 55 mm
causes of MR (excluding obvious ones)
myxomatous degeneration
ankylosing spondylitis
carcinoid syndrome
NY Heart Association Functional HD classification related to exercise tolerance: Describes Class IV
symptoms AT REST
MAC in MVP
low conc (0.5 MAC) can decrease regurge fraction at low dose
MR: PCWP waveform characteristic
presence of V wave
not necessarily how much regurge volume but
indicates LA compliance in relationship to regurge volume
AR: long term tx that may delay need for surgery in asymptomatic patients with good LV function
nifedipine or hydralazine
