Question
Answer
The most frequent cause for aquired valvular heart disease is   The Rheumatic Fever  
🗑
The most frequently affected valves from Rheumatic Fever are (from most frequent to least)   Mitral, Aortic, Tricuspid, and Pulmonary  
🗑
T/F: Rheumatic fever is an infectious process   False; It is actually a delayed hyper reaction of the immune system from a bacterial infection (group A B- hemolytic Streptococcus) that was previously resolved years before  
🗑
Three Scaring conditions related to rheumatic fever   Migratory polyarthritis (has to due with joints and gonorrhea), Erythema Marginatum (red ring dermatitis), and Carditis.  
🗑
The most serious scaring due to the rheumatic fever is   The scars produced in the heart valves (endocarditis)  
🗑
The Fibrotic lesions in the valves involving the chordae tendinae, cusps, and annulus cause what 2 things   Prolapse and Stenosis  
🗑
What changes create a prolapsed valve   Shorting of one or more cusps, shortening and fusing of Chordae Tendinae, Papillary Musc, dilation of valve ring, which leads to regurgitation  
🗑
Annulus is   A ring shaped structure  
🗑
T/F: Prolapse valve creates insufficiency   True  
🗑
When cusps fuse or become thick, ridig, and calcified it is called   Stenosis  
🗑
What is the most common disease process affecting the Pulmonic valve   Cogenital  
🗑
What Dz process is the Mitral valve most affected by   Rheumatic fever  
🗑
What Dz process is the Aortic valve most affected by   Rheumatic fever, Senile (getting old), and Atherosclerosis  
🗑
What Dz process is the Tricuspid valve most affected by   Rheumatic fever - causes Stenosis leading to increased vent. pressure causes regurge resulting in Right vent. hypertrophy  
🗑
What Dz process is Multivalvular most affected by   Rheumatic fever  
🗑
Summarize what happen with Mitral valve disease   Rheumatic lesions on adjacent valve leaflets, edges stick together, scar, fuse and become solid, obstruct blood flow, this is Stenosis  
🗑
What word describes Stenosis and Prolapsed regarding blood flow   They are "opposite" - one remains closed the other remains open  
🗑
When blood flows backward through a valve it is called   Regurgitation  
🗑
An insufficient-valve is also called a   Prolapsed valve  
🗑
What happens with a Prolapsed Mitral Valve   An increase in left artial pressure causes pulmonary HTN, leads to pulmonary edema, causes right heart hypertrophy (starting in RV)  
🗑
What arrhythmia is associated with an enlarged left atrium   A-fib  
🗑
What are the S/S of mild Mitral valve stenosis (5 of them)   Hemoptysis (coughing up blood), CP, Throboembolism, Endocarditis (infective), Hoarseness (compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve)  
🗑
What are S/S of servere Mitral Valve stenosis with increased PVR and RHF (5 of them)   Systemic venous hypertrophy, Hepatomegaly, Edema, Ascites, and Hydrothorax  
🗑
What is the Medical Treatment for Asymptomatic (or minimal symptomatic) Mitral Valve Stenosis   Diuretics, decreased Na intake, decreased exercise, PCN, - (NO SURGICAL INTERVENTION)  
🗑
What is the treatment for severe Mitral Valve Stenosis   Surgery and ballon pump  
🗑
Name 3 Mitral valve surgeries   Closed Mitral Valvulotomy, Open Commissurotomy, Mitral Valve Replacement  
🗑
T/F: Mitral valve regurge is more common in men   True  
🗑
What physically causes Mitral Regurgitation (MR)   1)Rigid & Deformed Cusps 2)Shortening and Fusion of the Chordae Tendinae and Papillary Muscle - causing Cusps retraction  
🗑
What are the S/S of Mitral Valve Regurgitation   Decreased CO (Most Important S/S), increased Pulmonary pressure, Left Ventricular dysfunction, RHF (Edema, Hepatomegaly, Acites)  
🗑
What is the goal of medical treatment in an asymptomatic MR patient   To reduce Afterload and Left Ventricular volume (use of vasodilators)  
🗑
What is the surgical treatment of MR   Reconstruction and replacement  
🗑
T/F: Aortic Valve Regurgitation and Stenosis both have decreased net stroke volume output   True: Stenosis r/t less going to artery, Regurg r/t blood flowing backward from artery  
🗑
What are the body's compensatory mechanisms for decreased stroke volume   Increase pressure and strength of contraction  
🗑
What are the negative effects of increasing the pressure and strength of cardiac contraction in a pt with MR   Hypertrophy of left vent., Ventricular dilatation (decr. CO), increased volume of blood in LA, increased pulmonary pressure (causes pulmonary edema)  
🗑
An increase in blood volume (from peripheral circ. reflexes) and decreased BP leads to   Decreased Renal blood flow and urine output, increase in RBC Mass to compensate for hypoxia  
🗑
Myocardial ischemia (in regards to Aortic Valve issues) are a result of   Increased Ventricular Pressures and Hypertrophy that cause Compression on Coronary Arteries  
🗑
Medical treatment of asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis/Regurgitation are   Decrease exercise (Surgery not for asymptomatic pt)  
🗑
Surgical treatment for Aortic Stenosis/ Regurg is   Replacement (only if symptomatic)  
🗑
What are the S/S of Pericarditis   Acute (severe) Chest Pain, Pericardial Effusion (too much = cardiac tamponade)  
🗑
What may happen to the Pericardium in Pericarditis   It thickens and adheres to the heart ("Adhesive Pericarditis"), causes constrictive pericarditis  
🗑
What is the surgical intervension for Pericarditis   Removal of Pericardium  
🗑
What fluid around the heart causes Cardiac Tamponade   Blood  
🗑
Cardiac Tamponade cascade is   Decreased venous return leads to decreased left heart output causes decreased BP which results in Shock  
🗑
Cardiac Tamponade treatment includes   Direct Percutaneous Puncture  
🗑
What is the primary cause of Cardiomyopathies   It's unknown  
🗑
What is the definition of Cardiomyopathy   They constitute a group of diseases in which the dominant feature is direct involvement of the heart muscle itself  
🗑
T/F: Cardiomyopathies are the result of pericardial, hypertensive, cogenital, valvular, and ischemic diseases   False  
🗑
What is the definition of Cardiomyopathy   They constitute a group of diseases in which the dominant feature is direct involvement of the heart muscle itself  
🗑
T/F: Cardiomyopathies are the result of pericardial, hypertensive, cogenital, valvular, and ischemic diseases   False  
🗑
