When it comes to valvular disorders, what 2 valves are the most common? If the valve has a rheumatic or calcificative etiology in origin what are the most likely valve effected?
|
Mitral and aortic
Rheumatic: mitral Calcification: aortic |
|
|
Which valvular disorder results in a loud S1 and a sound opening snap?
|
Mitral stenosis.
|
|
|
In mitral stenosis, what is the treatment of choice and what type of therapy do we need to to consider due to preponderance to atrial fib?
|
Treatment of choice: valve replacement. Need to consider anticoagulant therapy due to atrial fib and tendency for clot to form.
Other treatments include commissurotomy or balloon mitral replacement. |
|
|
What is the #1 etiology of mitral stenosis?
|
Rheumatic fever.
|
|
|
What is the classic mitral regurg murmur sound like?
|
Holosystolic mumur that radiates into left axilla from lateral decubitus position. There also is a prominent S3.
|
|
|
In nondental prophylaxis for a valvular disorder, what should be the treatment of choice?- or if allergic...
|
Amp/gent; if allergic vanco
In dental proceding- If NO allergy: Amox: Adults 2 g, children 50 mg/kg orally one hour before procedure If Allergic to PCN go: Clindamycin, Cephalexin or Cefadroxil, or AZ or Clarithromycin. |
|
|
What is the 3 over 6 crescendo/decrescendo murmur that radiates up into patient's neck? What are the sympotms patients experience?
|
Mitral stenosis
Symptoms: angina, syncope, dysnea (classic triad) along with faint pulses and fatigue, pulmonary congestion. |
|
|
What is the etiology for aortic stenosis if the patient is "younger"- "older"?
|
Younger- rheumatic fever
Older- calcification of valve |
|
|
What is the only treatment option for aortic stenosis once the patient becomes symptomatic?
|
Surgery
|
|
|
If, when recording a patient's bp there is a dramatic difference between the diastolic and systolic pressure, what valvular disorder are you suspecting?
What is another name for this condition AND another major symptom? |
Aortic regurg./Austin-Flint murmur
Bounding pulse-"waterhammer" |
|
|
A patient is seeing you for palpatations. When taking that history, might about that it might tip you off to a possible diagnosis being aortic regurg?
|
A long history of palpations that the patient has just tolerated over the years.
|
|
|
Which type of valvular replacement has an anticoagulant as a part of the therapy-mechanical or bioprosthetic? Which of the two valvular replacements is typically tried first?
|
Mechanical generally needs anticoagulant therapy.
Bioprosthetic is typically tried first. |
|
|
Which of the two valvular replacements, mechanical or bioprosthetic, has a high failure rate BUT a lower complication rate?
|
Biosprosthetic= higher failure rate BUT lower complication rate. FYI: Tried first and does not typically take anticoagulants.
