Mitral Valve Disease Lecture

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Mitral Stenosis   show
🗑
Mitral regurgitation or insufficiency   show
🗑
Combined valvular disease   show
🗑
What are the 3 basic forms of mitral valve disease?   show
🗑
show 2 leaflets (anterior and posterior), each divided into 3 segments. Each leaflet attached to papillary muscles by chordae tendinae; the junction between anterior and posterior leaflets with the valve annulus referred to as the commissures  
🗑
show congenital deformities, rheumatic valvular disease, dense mitral annular calcification, systemic disease (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, carcinoid syndrome, etc), pseudo mitral stenosis  
🗑
What is the most common cause of mitral stenosis?   show
🗑
show Calcification extends from the annulus to the leaflets, restricts leaflet motion  
🗑
What is pseudo mitral stenosis?   show
🗑
How does rheumatic mitral stenosis arise?   show
🗑
Rheumatic fever   show
🗑
What histological changes are seen rheyumatic fever?   show
🗑
How is rheumatic fever diagnosed?   show
🗑
What are the major criteria in the modified jones criteion for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever   show
🗑
What are the minor criteria in the modified jones criteion for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever   show
🗑
show Can be myocarditis (inflammation of myocardium with ventricular dysfunction), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium with pericardial friction rub or effusion), or valvulitis (inflammation of the cardiac valves)  
🗑
show Asymmetrical, migratory, polyarticular arthritis  
🗑
show Syndeham's chorea (aka St. Vitus's dance): choreiform activity with rapid uncoordinated, jerky movement of cae, hands, feet; thought to be caused by destruction of basal ganglions; resolves after several months of onset but may persist indefinitely  
🗑
show Usually 0.5-2 cm movable, firm painless nodules which develop on extensor surfaces of joints, spinous processess and occiput  
🗑
show Evanescent (fading), erythematous (red), nonpruritic macular rash with serpinginous (creeping, wormlike) margins and clear center  
🗑
Describe the changes in the heart + blood during the acute phase of rheumatic fever   show
🗑
Describe the changes in the heart + blood during the chronic phase of rheumatic fever   show
🗑
What would you expect to find on an echocardiograph of a patient with chronic rheumatic valvular disease?   show
🗑
show Mitral valve rebounds upon systole and deflects into left atrium, causing a deflection in the left atrial pressure tracing  
🗑
show Mitral valve reamins closed during systole-->as it fills (due to pulmonary venous inflow), pressure progressively rises  
🗑
show Towards END of ventricular diastole, left atrial contraction occurs, creating a transient increase in lef-atrial pressure tracing  
🗑
What hemodynamic changes do you see in patients with Mitral Stenosis?   show
🗑
What are the hemodynamic changes associated with chronic elevation in left aterial pressure on the rest of the cardiopulmonary system?   show
🗑
show Dyspnea and cough, orthopnea, chest pain, hoarseness, peripheral edema, fatigue, systemic thromboembolism  
🗑
What symptoms of mitral stenosis develop as a result of pre-capillary block?   show
🗑
What symptoms of mitral stenosis develop as a result of post-capillary block?   show
🗑
show Mild: decresendo diastolic rumble (due to turbulence) with possible pre-systolic accentuation (due to atrial contraction); moderate: pan-diastolic rumble; progressive decrease in A2 to opening snap interval (OS not normally heard); soft S1, louder P2  
🗑
What is the Gorlin formula?   show
🗑
What conditions can lead to increased mitral valve gradients?   show
🗑
How is mitral stenosis treated?   show
🗑
show Regulate oral fluid intake, restrict Na consumption; oral diuretics (furosemid); important in pregant women (increase in intravascular volume + CO)  
🗑
Rate control management of mitral stenosis   show
🗑
How does percutaneous baloon valvuloplasty work?   show
🗑
Who are ideal candidates for balloon mitral valvuloplasty?   show
🗑
show surgically separating mitral valve leaflets in regions of commissural fusion; done either on or off bypass  
🗑
show With either mechanical (metallic) or bioprosthetic (porcine or bovine)valve  
🗑
show Mitral valve prolapse, rheumatic valvular disease, endocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, cornoary ischemia, trauma, systemic diseases  
🗑
How can mitral valve prolapse lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
How can rheumatic valvular disease lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
show leaflet inflammation, obstruction of leaflet coaptation by large vegetations, or leaflet destruction in the form of flail leaflets, leaflet perforation and/or perivalvular abcessess  
🗑
show dilation of the mitral valve annulus and/or apical displacement of the mitral leaflet coatpation poin due to enlargement of the ventricular cavity  
🗑
How can coronary ischemia lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
show rupture of the papillary muscles  
🗑
show Possible causes: carcinoid syndrome and collagen vascular diseases (cause fibrosis and deformity of the mitral valve)  
🗑
show Increased LV stroke Volume (with decrease forward flow and increased backward flow) --> increased LA pressure and increased pulmonary venous pressure (may cause pulmonary edema)  
🗑
What changes do you expect to see in the left atrium with mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
What changes are seen in pathophysiology of chronic MR?   show
🗑
show insufficient time for remodeling --> compliance remains same --> left ventrcile responds to shift in loading conditions by shifting along FIXED pressure volume curve; if shift large enough --> pulmonary edema  
🗑
show Rises less dramatically --> ventricular remodeling through eccentric hypertrophy --> increase in LV volume and compliance --> shifts patient to new left ventricular pressure-volume relationship --> chornic compensated phase of mitral regurgitation  
🗑
What is the change you expect to see in the left-ventricular pressure-volume relationship in chronic mitral regurgigration?   show
🗑
show Prominent V-waves (simultaneous filling of LA from lung and contracting LV); rapid y-descent due to augmented antegrade flow (due to increased atrial preload)  
🗑
What auscultatory findings would you find in patients with significant mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
What is the cause of mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
What happens during mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
What auscultatory finding would you find in mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
show Increasing left ventricular volume --> mitral valve click and murmur later in systole  
🗑
How is mitral regurgitation treated?   show
🗑
How does an intra-aortic baloon pump work and why does it help patients in cardiogenic shock?   show
🗑
show Surgical repair or replacement of mitral valve  
🗑
show Potent arteriolar vasodilator: metabolized into NO --> guanylate cyclase activation in vascular smooth muscle cells --> stimulates cGMP production, which promotes calcium reuptake from cytoplasm into endoplasmic reticulum --> smooth muscle relaxation  
🗑
What are the advatages and disadvantages of using nitroprusside?   show
🗑
Medical management of chronic mitral regurgitation focuses on:   show
🗑
What are the surgical treatment options for patients with mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
How is post-operative survival affected by LV ejection fraction?   show
🗑
show Rule of thumb: mitral valve surgery for patients with severe regurgitation PRIOR to patient developing significant symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
