Q

what are the 3 main causes of aortic stenosis?

A

congenital bicuspid aortic valve
age-related calcification
rheumatic

24
Q

what are the symptoms of aortic stenosis?

A

breathlessness
chest pain
dizziness/syncope on exertion

25
Q

what are the signs of aortic stenosis?

A
  • low volume pulse
  • forceful apex- LV heave
  • ejection systolic murmur which is maximal in aortic area and radiates to the carotids
26
Q

what are the 3 treatment options for aortic stenosis?

A
  • surgery: valve replacement
  • balloon aortic valvotomy
  • transcatheter aortic valve implantation
27
Q

what are the 2 types prosthetic heart valves?

A

mechanical

bioprosthetic

28
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of mechanical heart valves compared to bioprosthetic?

A

mechanical have long term durability but need anticoagulants

biporsthetic dont need anticoagulants but aren;t as durable

29
Q

what are 4 problems can cause mitral regurgitation?

A

problems with mitral valve leaflets
chordal rupture
ischamia or infarction of papillary muscle
annular dilation

30
Q

why does annular dilation cause regurgitation?

A

because valves no longer meet in the middle so are leaky

31
Q

what 3 things can cause problems with mitral valve leaflets and so cause mitral regurgitation?

A
  • rheumatic heart disease
  • myxomatous degeneration (floppy mitral valve syndrome)
  • endocarditis
32
Q

what are the symptoms of mitral regurgitation?

A

breathlessness
ankle swelling
fatigue

33
Q

what are the signs of mitral regurgitation?

A
  • displaced apex beat

- pansystolic murmur which is maximally heard at the apex and radiated to the axilla

34
Q

what is a sign of mitral regurgitation on a cxr?

A

cardiomegaly

35
Q

what are the treatment options of mitral regurgitation?

A

drugs
surgery
percutaneous mitral valve repair

36
Q

what are the 2 drugs that can be used for mitral regurgitation?

A

diuretics

ACE inhibitors

37
Q

what are the 2 surgery options of mitral regurgitation?

A

valve repair

valve replacement

38
Q

what are the causes of mitral stenosis?

A

rheumatic heart disease (although past history my be absent)

congenital

39
Q

what are the symptoms of mitral stenosis?

A

breathlessnes
tiredness
palpitations

40
Q

what are the signs of mitral stenosis?

A
  • malar flush
  • tapping apex beat
  • mid diastolic murmur localised to apex
  • right heart failure in later stages
41
Q

what valvular heart murmur is most likely to give you palpitations?

A

mitral stenosis

42
Q

what valvular heart murmur is most likely to give you AF?

A

mitral stenosis

43
Q

what are the signs of mitral stenosis on a CXT?

A

straight left heart border

because left atrium enlarges

44
Q

what are the 3 treatment options for mitral stenosis?

A

drugs
surgery
mitral balloon valvuloplasty

45
Q

what drugs are given in the treatment of mitral stenosis?

A

diuretics (for oedema) betablockers, digoxin, warfarin (for AF)

46
Q

what type of surgery is used in mitral stenosis?

A

valve replacement

47
Q

when is mitral balloon valvuloplasty suitable for the treatment of mitral stenosis?

A

if there is a pliable competent valve

48
Q

what are the causes of aortic regurgitation?

A

defect with the aortic leaflets

defects with the annulus

49
Q

what can cause problems with the aortic leaflets?

A

infective endocarditis
connective tissue disease
rheumatic heart disease

50
Q

what can cause problems with the aortic annulus?

A

marfans syndrome

acute aortic dissection

51
Q

what are the symptoms of aortic regurgitation?

A

breathlessness
chest pain
dizziness

52
Q

what are the signs of aortic regurgitation?

A

collapsing pulse
displaced apex
early diastolic murmur heard maximally in the tricuspid area

53
Q

what are the treatment options of aortic regurgitation?

A

drugs

surgery

54
Q

what drugs are used in the treatment of aortic regurgitation?

A

ACEI
ARB
diuretics

55
Q

what surgery is used in the treatment of aortic regurgitation?

A

valve replacement
