Valvular Heart Disease Flashcards
MR: etiology
ACUTE
- ruptured chordae tendinae, endocarditis, papillary muscle rupture, trauma
CHRONIC
- rheumatic heart disease, ischemia, endocarditis, Marfans, MVP
MR: pathophysiology
pure VOLUME overload
- LA enlargment, LVH, increased contractility
- pulmonary HTN
- LV dilation
- symptoms of right HF
- 20 - 30 yrs to develop
MR: PE
- soft S1
- holosystolic (apex); radiates to axilla
- S3
- CHRONIC: intensity = severity
- exertional dyspnea
Which valvular diseases do you NOT prophylax?
Mitral stenosis/regurg, ASD
Narrow pulse pressure
aortic stenosis
Wide pulse pressure
aortic regurgitation
Midsystolic CLICK
MVP
Most common reason for severe MR
MVP
AS: etiology
- Normal wear + tear with old age
- bicuspid valve
Valvular disease associated with angina
aortic stenosis (30-50%)
People with CAD most likely have this valvular disease
aortic stenosis
thrill at left sternal border
aortic stenosis
upstroke of carotids (pulsus tardus)
aortic stenosis
With AS, you should avoid THESE treatments
nitrates, beta blockers, CCBs
With AR, you should avoid THESE treatments
beta blockers, balloon pump (ACUTE)
thrill in carotid
aortic regurgitation
florid pulmonary edema
aortic regurgitation
AR: treatment
- (+) inotrope (dobutamine)
- vasdilator (nitroprusside)
AR: etiology
ACUTE
- endocarditis, dilated aortic root, aortic dissection
CHRONIC
- bicuspid aortic, idiopathic aortic root dilation, SYPHILIS, rheumatic fever, infective endocarditis
AS: onset of symtoms
mortality = 90% within a few years
AR: onset of symptoms
asymptomatic until 40s - 50s
- 4-6% progression / year
AR: symptoms
dyspnea, nocturnal angina, palpitations
