SYMPTOMS
Classic Triad of symptoms in aortic stenosis
What is Syncope, Angina and Dyspnea
Holo-systolic murmur heard across the precordium and often radiates to the back.
What is mitral regurgitation?
Widened pulse pressure and diastolic murmur at right and sternal border
What is aortic regurgitation?
First line therapy for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
What is aortic valve replacement?
What is an Infection of the Cardiac Heart Valve?
What is Infective Endocarditis?
Cause of angina in patients with aortic stenosis.
What is demand ischemia from oxygen supply/demand mismatch?
This is a diastolic, low flow and referred to as a rumble
What is mitral stenosis murmur?
Common arrhythmia associated with mitral stenosis.
What is atrial fibrillation?
The most common diagnostic study used to assess valvular heart disease.
What is echocardiogram?
What is the most frequently infected cardiac valve in a patient with a history of IVDA?
What is the tricuspid aortic valve
Symptoms of mitral stenosis occur when this happens.
What is elevation of left atrial pressure?
Systolic murmur heard at the right 2nd intercostal space and radiates to the carotids.
What is aortic stenosis murmur?
Head nodding (DeMusset's sign) with each heartbeat and Quincke's pulse can be present.
What is chronic severe aortic regurgitation?
Tachycardia, Left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement are commonly associated with this condition
What is chronic aortic regurgitation?
True or False
People with prosthetic heart valves always require antibiotics prior to dental exams and procedures.
True
It is the most common symptom associated with mitral regurgitation.
What is shortness of breath?
2 cardiac murmurs that produce a holo-systolic murmur.
What is tricuspid regurgitation and mitral regurgitation?
Physical examination finding associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and heard in patients with aortic stenosis, coronary artery disease and hypertension.
What is S4 (atrial gallop)?
Pharmacotherapy that has been proven to reduce mortality in patients with mitral regurgitation
What are ACE inhibitors?
What is the name of the criteria for evaluating Infective Endocarditis?
What is Duke's Criteria?
Symptoms of decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure.
What is chronic mitral regurgitation?
Condition associated with delayed carotid upstroke.
What is aortic stenosis?
Reduced functional capacity, neck vein distention, peripheral edema and pulmonary hypertension can be associated with this condition.
What is mitral stenosis?
The 2 most common parameters used to assess the severity of aortic stenosis?
What is pressure gradient and aortic valve area?
What is the most common antibiotic used for dental prophylaxis for patients without medication allergies?
What is Amoxicillin?
Most common cause of aortic stenosis in patients less than 60 years of age
What is bicuspid aortic valve?
Infective endocarditis, dissection of the ascending aorta and trauma may be associated with acute onset of this valvular disorder.
What is acute aortic regurgitation?
Most common cause of mitral stenosis.
What is rheumatic heart disease?
Echocardiogram findings in patients with chronic severe aortic regurgitation.
What is left ventricular systolic and diastolic dilatation and reduction in ejection fraction?
What is the most common organisim for Endocarditis?
What is Gram-positive bacteria?
