Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Mitral Stenosis   show
🗑
show Abnormal retrograde flow across the valve  
🗑
show both mitral stenosis and regurgitation  
🗑
show stenosis, regurgitation/insufficiency, combined valvular disease (both of the above)  
🗑
Describe the structure of the normal mitral valve   show
🗑
What are the possible etiologies for mitral stenosis?   show
🗑
What is the most common cause of mitral stenosis?   show
🗑
How does mitral annular calcification lead to stenosis?   show
🗑
show Mitral valve anatomically normal. Obstruction casued by extrinsic structure  
🗑
show Long term sequelae from acute rheumatic fever  
🗑
show collagen vascular disorder which occurs following group A beta hemolytic streptococcal infections (strep throat); develops after several weeks after acute strep infection; involves joints, heart, CNS  
🗑
show inflammation --> damage of collagen fibers + ground substance in connective tissue; thought to be mediated by cross reactivity of Ab against streptococcal membrane proteins and human tissue  
🗑
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
🗑
In rheumatic fever, how does carditis present?   show
🗑
In rheumatic fever, how does polyarthritis present?   show
🗑
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  
🗑
In rheumatic fever, how does sybcutaenous nodules present?   show
🗑
In rheumatic fever, how does erythema marginatum present?   show
🗑
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
🗑
What event casues the c-wave?   show
🗑
What event is associated with the v-wave?   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show Low CO: fatigue, exhaustion, weakness, tiredness; right sided failure edamn, hepatomegally, tricuspid insufficiency, cyanosis, large heart, mild jaundice, hoarseness  
🗑
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)  
🗑
show Rate control and (when possible) restoration of sinus rhythm; IMPORTANT for patients with tachyarrhytmias due to decrease in diastolic filling period and loss of atrial kick-->insufficient CO  
🗑
show insert catheter into right atrium through venous sheath-->intratrial septum punctured using small needled catheter --> balloon on catheter advanced through to mitral valve area and inflated to increase area  
🗑
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  
🗑
What are the etiologies for mitral valve regurgitation?   show
🗑
How can mitral valve prolapse lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
How can rheumatic valvular disease lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
How can endocarditis lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
show dilation of the mitral valve annulus and/or apical displacement of the mitral leaflet coatpation poin due to enlargement of the ventricular cavity  
🗑
show due to ischemically mediated papillary muscle dysfunction or (in infarction) papillary muscle rupture related to myocardial necrosis  
🗑
show rupture of the papillary muscles  
🗑
How can systemic disease lead to mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
Pathophysiology of acute Mitral Regurgitation   show
🗑
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
🗑
What is the change you expect to see in the left-ventricular pressure-volume relationship in acute mitral regurgigration?   show
🗑
What is the change you expect to see in the left-ventricular pressure-volume relationship in subacute mitral regurgigration?   show
🗑
show Left ventricle becomes increaseing dysfunctional during systole --> LV pressure rises --> congestive heart failure and CHRONIC DECOMPENSATED PHASE of mitral regurg.  
🗑
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)  
🗑
show Best heard in 5th intercostal space in anteroaxillary line + radiation into axilla: Pan-or holosystolic murmur (S1-->slightly beyond A2), early dystolic rumble (with possible S3); murmur location can vary based on direction of jet  
🗑
What is the cause of mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
show Ventricle contracts --> redundant mitral valve leaflets bow/prolapse into atria --> inappropriate coaptation of leaflet tips  
🗑
What auscultatory finding would you find in mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
How does the position of the mitral valve click change with systole?   show
🗑
show Relieve pulmonary vascular congestion (DIURETICS); reduce peripheral vascular resistance to augment forward blood flow (VASODILATORS or if critically ill, SODIUM NITROPUSSIDE); intra-aortic balloon; surgical repair or replacement of mitral valve  
🗑
How does an intra-aortic baloon pump work and why does it help patients in cardiogenic shock?   show
🗑
What is the definitive treatment for patients with mitral regurgitation?   show
🗑
What is the mechanism of action of sodium nitroprusside?   show
🗑
show Pro: short half-life, easily titrated; Con: cyanide is metabolic byproduct, so monitor CN if used over long period of time  
🗑
show 1) diuretics to manage volume overload and 2) vasodilator therapy in patients with systemic hypertension (no definitive data on benefit of chronic vasodilator therapy in normotensive patients)  
🗑
What are the surgical treatment options for patients with mitral valve prolapse?   show
🗑
show Postoperative survival decreases as LV function decreases.  
🗑
show Rule of thumb: mitral valve surgery for patients with severe regurgitation PRIOR to patient developing significant symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction  
🗑
