Most common cause of endocarditis

Bacteria

Low risk for endocarditis

Coronary artery disease


Aortitis


Pacemaker


ASD

High risk for endocarditis

IV drug abuse


Prosthetic valves


Patent ductus arteriosus


VSD


Marfans


History of IE


Aov coarctation


Mitral regurgitation


With IE which side of the semi lunar valves does organisms attach?

The Atrial side (flow side or where we see regurge)

Which side of the AV valves does organisms attach to?

Atrial side (flow side or where we see regurgitation)

What is 1 showing

aortic valve veg oscillations seen in the LV

2. Anterior mitral valve flutter due to AI caused by veg.


3. LV overload pattern and hyperdynamic LV function due to severe acute AI caused by veg


4. Early closure of the MV caused by increased LV end diastolic pressure

Intermediate risk for endocarditis

Pressure monitoring lines in the RA


Non valvular cardiac implants


Calcific AS


MV prolapse


MS


TV disease


PULM valve disease

Early opening of the AOV with acute severe AI due to Vegetation

Acute IE

Staphylococcus aureus, invasion of a normal valve

Olsers nodes, petechiae or spots in the whites of the eyes are seen qith

Infective endocarditis

The most serious complication of invective endocarditis

Abscess. Presents as echo-free cavity in the annulus of the infected valve or echo density in an adjacent structure

Veg must be greater than ___ mm to see in a TTE

2-3mm

Higher chance of embolization with vegs greater than

5 mm

Subaccute IE

Invasion of an abnormal valve, subtle presentation, caused by Streptococcus viridian

AOV notching from severe mitral valve regurgitation from a vegetation. And LA enlargement from MR.

Veg must be greater than 1mm to be detected by

TEE

perforation, fistula, embolism, abscess, flail leaflet and aneurysm are complications of

Infective endocarditis

Myocarditis can be

Diffuse or local

Negative blood culture

Does not rule out endocarditis

What is needed for diagnosis of myocarditis

Biopsy

The most common cause of myocarditis is

Viral- coxsasckievirus B

Aggressive treatment of myocarditis

Intra aortic balloon pump, LVAD, heart transplant

Most common cause of pericarditis is

Idiopathic most cases are probably viral

Acute pericarditis occurs within

Two weeks of condition and lasts up to six weeks

Chronic pericarditis follows acute and can last up to

6 months

Pericarditis involves what layers of the heart

Parietal and visceral

Which is better? Slow developing large effusion or small, rapid accumulating.

Slow developing large

Constrictive pericarditis does what to the cardiac output and the Stroke volume?

Decreases


(Early termination of diastole)

Thickening and scarring, restricted diastolic filling, decreased cardiac output, equalized and elevated end diastolic pressures

Constrictive pericarditis

What is the treatment of choice for constrictive pericarditis?

Pericardiectomy ( remove the pericardium)

Constrictive pericarditis usually surrounds all 4 chambers and has mitral pattern __ respiratory changes

With

Restrictive CMO surrounds ventricles only and has a mitral inflow pattern ___ respiratory changes

Without

Best view for pericardial effusion

Subcostal

Equalization of pressures with constrictive pericarditis is best detected by

Cath

Flat LV wall motion in diastole and septal bulge to the left during inspiration(septal bounce)

Constrictive pericarditis

Causes movement of the IVS toward the LV during inspiration

Decreased pulm venous pressure

Effusive effusion

No septal bounce


Fluid


Big E little A ( still has restrictive pattern)


No/little change inflow pattern with respiration

Tamponade m mode


2. collapse of the RV in diastole


3. Paradoxical septal motion (parallel)


- measure effusion


- increase sweep speed

M mode is very helpful to look at tamponade

Tamponade


PW of MV or TV


Decrease sweep speed to 25


4ch


MV decreases with inspiration increases with expiration


TV increases with inspiration decreases with expiration



( goes with Septal shift to the left w/ inspiration)

Dresslers syndrome can cause

Pericardial effusion

What else can look like pericardial effusion?

Fat pad ( loculated anterior space between epi and myocardium, gelatinous)


Usually PE is not only located Anterior

In LAX you can differentiate Pericardial effusion from Plural

Pericardial effusion is Anterior to the DAO, no change with respiration


Pleural effusion posterior to DAO and respiratory changes

Small pericardial effusion is less than

1 cm, loculated, and in the right heart or LA

Large pericardial effusion is greater than

1 cm and all the way around heart

Pericardial effusion usually originates near the

RA ( lowest pressure of all the chambers)

With tamponade when do you see collapse of the RV

Diastole

Becks triad (tamponade)

Hypotension, muffled hearts sound, elevated venous pressure

Pulsus paradoxus (tamponade)

Exaggerated decrease in systolic BP with inspiration

Echo findings of tamponade

Right atrial late systolic and early diastolic collapse.


Right ventricular diastolic collapse


Paradoxical septal motion


RV and LV volume changes with respiration


Swinging heart with large effusion Dialated IVC


Increased hepatic flow with I inspiration
