Echo3 midterm lists

Study aids for Echo 3 midterm

List the following:Items:
9 Complications of bioprosthetic valves: o Perivalvular leak o Dehiscence o Degeneration o Regurgitation o Annulus abnormalities o Stenosis o Thrombus o Infective endocarditis o Calcification
12 complications of mechanical valves: o Perivalvular leak o Dehiscence o Degeneration o Regurgitation o Annulus abnormalities o Stenosis o Thrombus o Infective endocarditis o Calcification o Pannus ingrowth o Mechanical failure • Hemolysis
3 types of tissue which can be used to make bioprosthetic valves: Dura Mater, Fascia lata, and Bovine pericardium
5 secondary etiologies for PHTN: 1. Increased resistance of pulmonary venous drainage 2. Increased resistance to vascular flow 3. Increased resistance to pulmonary artery flow 4. Hypoventilation 5. Miscellaneous:
7 causes of Cardiac Iatrogenic Injury: 1. Heart Catheterization 2. Balloon valvuloplasty 3. Pericardiocentesis 4. Cardiac pacemakers 5. Myocardial biopsy 6. Cardiac surgery 7. CPR
4 Connective Tissue Diseases affecting the heart: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis 2. Vasculitis (Takayasu’s) 3. Scleroderma 4. Marfan’s syndrome
4 Non-pharmacologic therapies for systemic hypertension: 1) Weight loss 2) Exercise 3) Reduction in sodium, cholesterol, alcohol, coffee, & tobacco 4) Stress reduction
Two life-threatening consequences of Cardiac Trauma: 1) Excessive hemorrhage or blood loss 2) Cardiac tamponade
3 iatrogenic injuries from Heart Catheterization: o Perforated coronary arteries o Aortic dissections o Perforation of the cardiac chambers
4 iatrogenic injuries caused by CPR: 1) Laceration of the heart 2) Rupture of the heart 3) RV papillary muscle rupture or dysfunction 4) Laceration or rupture of great vessels
5 iatrogenic injuries resulting from Cardiac surgery: 1) Pericardial effusion/tamponade (most common) 2) Adhesions 3) Extracardial blood clots 4) Compression of RV 5) Pseudoaneurysm (mostly from prosthetic valve placement)
7 Signs & Symptoms of PHTN : 1. Exertional dyspnea 2. Fatigue 3. Dizziness/syncope 4. Chest pain 5. Palpitations 6. Cough/hoarseness 7. Hemoptysis (late in course)
5 Echo Findings – PHTN: 1. Dilated pulmonary artery 2. RV dilatation 3. Paradoxical septal motion 4. Septal hypertrophy 5. RVH
4 effects of PHTN on PV motion: 1. Decreased/absent “a-dip” on M-mode 2. Mid-systolic closure on M-mode 3. Prolonged RV peak-to-peak ejection time intervals 4. Premature PV opening with increased RV end diastolic pressure
7 Complications of SYSTEMIC HTN: 1. Atherosclerotic complications (Angina, MI, acute MI – Most common cause of death for HTN) 2. CHF 3. TIA/CVA 4. Hypertensive renal disease 5. HTN encephalopathy 6. HTN retinopathy 7. AAA/aortic dissection
8 Signs & Symptoms, Systemic HTN: 1. Asymptomatic 2. Headaches 3. Dizziness/blurred vision 4. Palpitations 5. Sweats/pallor 6. Anxiety 7. Dyspnea 8. Chest pain
7 Echo Findings, Systemic HTN: 1. LVH w nrml systolic function – Classic finding 2. LVPO w/ nrml cavity size 3. Reduced LVF– end stage 4. Increased LVEDP → atrial HTN → ↑ resistance to pulmonary venous drainage 5. Aortic root dilatation 6. LAE d/t MR/MAC 7. PE
3 Types of Cardiac Trauma: 1. Non-penetrating/blunt 2. Penetrating 3. Iatrogenic (surgical accident)
Non-penetrating chest trauma (Blunt Trauma) Accounts for___% of all traumatic deaths annually in the u.s. 25%
6 Echo Findings, Blunt Trauma: 1. Increased wall thickness at end-diastole (swelling) 2. Regional wall motion abnormalities 3. Increased echogenicity 4. Chamber enlargement 5. Mural thrombus 6. Pericardial effusion
4 Complications, Blunt Trauma: 1. Pericardial effusion (most common) usually bloody 2. Cardiac Tamponade quick or late onset 3. Long-term complication → constrictive pericarditis 4. Cardiac contusion (bruised myocardium)
4 Systemic Diseases affecting the heart: 1) Diabetes Mellitus 2) Hypothyroidism 3) Hyperthyroidism 4) Parathyroid disease
4 Pharmacologic therapies for systemic HTN: 1) Diuretics (1st drug of choice) 2) Beta blockers 3) ACE inhibitors 4) Calcium channel blockers
3 types of Bioprosthetic valves: 1) Auto-graft 2) Homograft 3) Heterograft
3 types of Mechanical valves: 1) Ball and Cage 2) Tilting Disc 3) Bileaflet Tilting disc.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
