Protaglandin to keep it open
Indomethacin(NSAID) to close
Diastolic Dysfunction Tx
Ventricle needs time to fill so slow it down with B-blockers and Ca blockers
VSD at birth Tx
Just observe b/c many will close by themselves. Otherwise do surgery if they get symptomatic
When to do ORIF
If skin breaks and give Abx also. if skin closed do CR.
Mitral Stenosis
Causes
Sound
Secondary to
-Rheumatic heart disease
-Atrial myxoma(echo to dx)

-Opening snap w/ diastolic rumble at apex.

Mitral Regrgitation
Causes
Sound
Rheumatic heart disease or ruptured papillary/chordae tendinae

Systolic murmur that radiates to axilla
Aortic stenosis
Causes
Sound
Tx
Systolic murmur w/ decreased carotid upstroke & soft S2.

Will lead to LVH(S4) causing angina and syncope

Tx
ETOH
Stones
Trauma
Hypercalcemia
Steroids

NPO-Fluids-NG tube-Meperidine
**No Abx**
Lead time Bias
Maybe outcome is not due to Tx but due to screening b/c it catches the disease sooner
