Most common valve with IE
Mitral
Aortic and tricuspid involved with IE with IVDA (Intravenous drug abuse)
Notes
Endocarditis with regurgitation, RF and fibrotic heart disease with stenosis
Notes
IE pathology
Vegetations destroy valve leaflet and chordae tendinae
IE signs
1- Immunocomplex vasculitis- glomerulonephritis, Roth's spot
2- Microembolization- splinter hemorrhages, janeway lesions, osler's nodes, petechiae, infarctions
SLE causes LSE
Notes
Libman-Sacks endocarditis

Janeway lesions
Anemia
Nail-bed hehorrhage (splinter)
Emboli
Most common cause of myocarditis and pericarditis
Coxsackie virus
Doxorubicin and daunorubicin can cause
Myocarditis
Increased CK-MB and Troponins I and T indicate
Myocarditis
Pericardial friction rub most likely indicates
Pericarditis
Most common cause of Dilated cardiomyopathy
Myocarditis
3 Types of Cardiomyopathy
1- Dilated
2- Hypertrophic
3- Restrictive
Murmur intensity increases with DECREASED preload (Standing up, Valsalva)
HCM
Tx for HCM
Beta Blockers
How does HCM cause Sudden Death?
Ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation
3 common causes of Restrictive cardiomyopathy
1- Amyloidosis
2- Myocardial fibrosis after open-heart surgery
3- Radiation
