Valvular Heart Disease. Aortic Stenosis Aortic Regurgitation Mitral Stenosis Mitral Regurgitation Tricuspid Regurgitation (Tricuspid Stenosis, Pulmonary Stenosis, Pulmonary Regurgitation). Aortic Stenosis. Valvular Aortic Stenosis Supra-valvular Aortic Stenosis
E N D
Valvular Heart Disease • Aortic Stenosis • Aortic Regurgitation • Mitral Stenosis • Mitral Regurgitation • Tricuspid Regurgitation (Tricuspid Stenosis, Pulmonary Stenosis, Pulmonary Regurgitation)
Aortic Stenosis • Valvular Aortic Stenosis • Supra-valvular Aortic Stenosis • Sub-valvular Aortic Stenosis Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Sub-valvular membrane Left ventricular tunnel
Valvular Aortic Stenosis • Congenital • Rheumatic • Degenerative/Calcific
Symptoms • Angina • Dyspnoea • Syncope on exertion
Signs • Slow rising/anachrotic pulse • Sustained apex • 2nd sound quiet • Ejection click • Ejection type systolic murmur usually best heard 2nd RICS, into carotids. Often well heard throughout praecordium
Complications • Left heart failure • Sudden death
Investigations • ECG • Chest x-ray • Echocardiogram • Cardiac catherisation
Treatment • Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement • TAVI
Causes of Aortic Regurgitation • Rheumatic fever • Bicuspid aortic valve • Infective endocarditis • Syphillis • Arthritides Reiter’s, Ank Spond, Rheumatoid
Aortic Regurgitation Symptoms asymptomatic, dyspnoea Signs Pulse “collapsing”, “Water Hammer” Quinque’s, Corrigans, De Musset’s, pistol shot femorals, Duroziez’s signs
Apex – displaced and hyperdynamic • Early diastolic murmur usually best heard lower left sternal edge
Investigations ECGCXREchocardiogram Cardiac Catherisation
Complications Left heart failure Endocarditis • Treatment Aortic Valve Replacement
Mitral Stenosis • Symptoms • -Breathlessness • Complications Atrial fibrillation Systemic emboli Pulmonary hypertension Chest infections Infective endocarditis Right heart failure
Signs of mitral stenosis • Atrial fibrillation • Maybe para sternal heave • “tapping” apex • Loud 1st sound • Maybe loud 2nd sound • Opening snap • Rumbling mid diastolic murmur at apex radiating to axilla
Investigations ECGCXREchocardiogram Cardiac catheterisation
Treatment • Rhythm control – Digitalis, beta blockers, calcium antagonists • Diuretics • Anti-coagulants • Balloon Valvotomy or Valve repair/replacement
Mitral Regurgitation • Rheumatic fever • Prolapsing valve • Infective endocarditis • Papillary muscle dysfunction • Ruptured chordae • Left heart dilation • Connective tissue disorders
Apex displaced • Quiet first sound • Pan systolic murmur at apex • If severe, 3rd heart sound
Investigations ECGCxREcho Cardiac catheter
Treatment • Diuretics • Vasodilators • (Anti-coagulation) • Mitral valve repair/replacement
