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

female wanting to give birth (because you can't give anti-coagulants to these women, and they are required for these valves)
what is the lifespan of a porcine valve?
10-15 years
what is the exception to the rule that you should give antibiotic prophylaxis for congenital cardiac malformations?
isolated secundum atrial septal defects
most valve replacements require anticoagulation...what type DO NOT?

what population(s) would this be good in
Porcine valves

good for: Females of child bearing age or others with anticoagulation contraindication
