Name that description
A crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur heard best right upper sternal border.
What is aortic stenosis?
Rheumatic disease is the most common cause of mitral regurg. This medication could prevent it.
What is penicillin?
____ ____ ____ (group of people) need ______ (test) to screen for bicuspid aortic valve
1) first degree relatives
2) TTE
Severe aortic regurgitation is a complication of this problem.
What is aortic dissection?
Parasympathetic innervation of the heart is from this nerve.
What is the vagus nerve?
A late systolic murmur, sometimes with midsystolic click.
What is mitral regurgitation?
This class of medications may reduce all cause mortality after TAVI.
What are ACEi/ARBs.
This test is next in the workup of tricuspid regurgitation if TTE is suboptimal or if clinical presentation doesn't match TTE findings.
What is cardiac MRI?
Pulmonary HTN, afib, and heart failure are possible causes of this valve dysfunction.
What is mitral regurgitation?
The sympathetic innervation to the heart are located in dorsal root ganglia of these spinal levels.
What is C6-T7?
A diastolic decrescendo blowing murmur heard best at left upper sternal border
What is pulmonic regurgitation?
This medication is recommended as anticoagulation for pregnant women with VHD (valvular heart disease). Of note, it has the lowest risk of complication for mother but higher risk of fetal complication.
What is coumadin?
This test is avoided with symptomatic aortic stenosis due to risk of complications like syncope, v tach, and death.
What is exercise stress testing?
People with bicuspid aortic valve need _____ (frequency) screening with ______ (test) to rule out _______ (complication), regardless of whether they have had valve replacement.
1) annual (usually, may be more frequent if larger aortic root)
2) TTE or CT
3) ascending aortic aneurysm
A trigger point located where has been related to supraventricular tachyarrhythmias?
What is within the RIGHT pec muscle(s) in the 5th/6th ICS near the sternum?
This is a mid- and late-diastolic apical rumble.
What is chronic aortic regurgitation?
Avoid these medications in aortic regurgitation as they can paradoxically increase blood pressure.
What are beta blockers?
This is the diagnostic test of choice to determine hemodynamic significance of apparent severe aortic stenosis in patients with reduced ejection fraction and low transvalvular aortic gradient
What is dobutamine stress test?
Ascites, cardiac cirrhosis, and afib are possible complications of this valve dysfunction when it becomes severe.
What is tricuspid regurgitation?
This field of Osteopathy has been shown to improve heartrate variability.
What is osteopathy in the cranial field?
A diastolic rumble
What is tricuspid stenosis?
Enoxaparin twice daily should be considered as an alternative for pregnant patients w/prosthetic valve needing more than _____ mg/day of coumadin to maintain INR.
What is 5mg?
This test is performed prior to TAVR for measurements and assessment of vascular anatomy.
What is CTA?
Ascites and right ventricular failure are complications of this valve dysfunction.
Using the Progressive Inhibition of Neuromuscular Structures approach, primary points for chest pain are found here.
What is the sternum at second rib and coracoid process?
