what heart sound is heard as "Kentucky"
when does it occur |
S3
right after S2 |
|
What causes a S3 gallop? 2 examples?
|
overloaded ventricle
CHF, 3rd trimester pregnancy |
|
Is S3 variant normal in kids?
|
YES
|
|
Is S3 variant normal in 40+?
|
NO especially not with decreased left heart function
|
|
what gallop sounds just like "Tennessee"
|
S4
|
|
when does an S4 gallop occur
|
just before S1
|
|
what causes a S4 gallop?
2 examples? |
Stiff ventricle
HCM and LVH |
|
Please grade murmurs
|
Grade I – Less intense than S1, S2
Grade II – Same intensity as S1, S2 Grade III – More intense than S1/S2 but without a palpable thrill ***Grade IV – Grade III intensity but with palpable thrill Grade V – Can be heard through a solid medium Grade VI – Can be heard without a stethoscope |
|
The intensity of most murmurs _____ as you _____ flow across the valve.
|
increase
increase |
|
what are the 2 murmurs that decrease with increased preload?
|
MVP
HCM |
|
standing and valsalva increase/decrease preload?
|
decrease!
|
|
sustained 30 second handgrip will soften what murmur? why?
|
HCM
Handgrip increases afterload which dilates the aortic outflow tract and softens the m |
|
what will Sustained 30 second handgrip do to MVP (mitral valve prolapse)?
|
NOTHING or it can increase it
but should soften the murmur with HCM! (Handgrip increases afterload which widens the outflow tract) |
|
right sided murmurs will increase with ______
|
inspiration
|
|
Left sided murmurs increase with _____
|
expiration
|
|
In what position should you have your patient to best hear S3 and S4 gallops?
|
lateral recumbent
|
|
What is a fixed split S2 associated with?
|
ASD
|
|
if you see L atrial pressure go through the roof during ventricular contraction...what are you thinking?
|
that you have regurgitation of the mitral valve
|
|
what is the most common congenital valve disorder?
|
aortic stenosis with a bicuspid valve is the most common
|
|
patient has syncope with exercise....what do they likely have?
|
aortic stenosis
|
|
pulsus tardus is associated with what problem? what kind of murmur do you get with this? where can you best auscultate this
|
aoritc stenosis
systolic right upper sternal boarder |
|
how can you tell the difference between a carotid bruit and radiation from aortic stenosis?
|
a carotid bruit will be much louder as you move up the neck!
|
|
what has the worst prognosis of all valve lesions?
|
Aortic Stenosis
|
|
When do you fix aortic stenosis
|
when it becomes symptomatic...
|
|
what must you use extreme caution in using when a pt has aortic stenosis? 2
|
Vasodilators and diuretics (ventricle needs excess volume to overcome pressure of stenotic valve)
|
|
is medical management effective in aortic stenosis?
|
NO
only surgery when symptoms pop up help |
|
You are the physician on call. You are called for a 72 year old male with a hx of HTN, hyperlipidemia and severe AS who has fallen at home and now has an intertrochanteric hip fx. Which do you have fixed first, the AS or the hip fx?
|
Aortic Stenosis
|
|
What are three indications to replace an aortic valve that is regurgitant?
|
Symptoms at rest****
LVES dimension >5.5cm^2 EF decreases during exercise MUGA scan by >10% |
|
dyspnea, hemoptysis, and frequently causing atrial fib are symptoms of what
|
Mitral Stenosis
|
|
why do you get hemoptysis during mitral stenosis?
|
pressure backs up into the lungs, and swells pulmonary capillaries
Hemoptysis caused because of increased pulmonary vascular pressure. May be severe, streaky, frothy. |
|
pregnant females with mitral stenosis may present with what? 2
|
pulmonary edema and a fib
|
|
what are the 3 types of rupture that can happen in the heart after MI?
|
VSD (septal wall rupture)
Free wall rupture (creates acute tampanode, leaks into pericadium) Papillary muscle rupture (get acute mitral regurg) |
|
when do ruptures occur?
|
3-5 days post MI
|
|
A 56 year old woman, who has had a cardiac murmur since childhood, now presents with increasing hypoxia and dyspnea 4 days following an anterior wall MI. You are consulted because of increased leg swelling and abdominal tenderness over the RUQ. On physical exam, her bp is 98/52. Jugular venous are distended. Precordial palpation shows a nondisplaced apical impulse and a left parasternal systollic thrill. The S1 is normal but the S2 shows a fixed split. There is a grade 4/6 harsh, holosystollic murmur which is loudest at the fifth left intercostal space with radiation to the right. No diastollic component is heard. Her EKG shows RVH by criteria. The remainder of the exam is significant for +3 peripheral edema. The CXR is normal. What does she have?
Mitral regurgitation Aortic stenosis Pulmonic stenosis Atrial septal defect Ventricular septal defect |
Ventricular septal defect
|
|
how common are right sided valvular lesions?
|
RARE
|
|
do you replace diseased right sided valves?
|
NO because of the low pressure
|
|
what normally causes tricuspid stenosis? 3
|
usually secondary to rheumatic heart disease, staph endocarditis (IV drug abusers) or carcinoid syndrome.
|
|
if you see a really big "a" wave (giant or cannon) on the EKG what should you be thinking
|
tricuspid stenosis
|
|
what causes tricuspid regurgitation? 3
what is it secondary to? |
rheumatic heart dz, staph endocarditis or carcinoid
secondary to LHF with increased PAH |
|
if you see cannon v waves, what should you be thinking
|
tricuspid regurgitation
|
|
what are the 7 causes of large R wave in V1
not orange...not sure why I included this |
RVH – R>S in V1
RBBB – rsR Posterior Wall MI – mirror sign Misplaced leads – misplaced r wave progression Muscular Dystrophy - Hx Dextrocardia – CXR WPW – delta wave in lateral precordial leads |
|
for tricuspid regurg do you treat the underlying disease or valve replace?
|
treat the disease
valve replacement never done |
|
when do you replace left heart valves?
|
Consider replacement when patient first becomes symptomatic, especially at rest
|
|
when do you replace right heart valves?
|
never replaced, consider valvuloplasty if symptoms severe
|
|
when do you use Porcine valves?
|
if older than 60
