TERM
Aortic Valve Regurgitation
Acute: Backflow of blood from aorta to LV -> decreased
cardiac output -> shock and pulmonary edema
Chronic: Backflow of blood from aorta to LV -> LV
hypertrophy -> Pulmonary HTN and dcompensated HF
TERM
Valve locations
•Tricuspid: Right Atrium and Right Ventricle
•Pulmonic: Right Ventricle and Pulmonary Arteries.
•Mitral: Left Atrium and Left Ventricle.
•Aortic: Left Ventricle and Aorta.
TERM
Complication: Pericarditis
Can be with RHD, but also post-CABG, other things
Clinical Manifestations
, •Severe chest pain
•Worse with deep inspiration & lying supine
•Relieved by sitting
•Shallow rapid breathing
•Fever
ECG: ST elevation in ALL LEADS, rather than just where
the occlusion as, as in an MI
TERM
Natiuretic peptides
opposite of ADH/RAAS; baroreceptors sense stretching
in the heart and tells the body to release sodium and
water
TERM
DX for valvular disease
New or changing murmur
•Echocardiogram (Doppler flow)
•Cardiac Catheterization
•Chest X-ray
