Valvular Disorders
:pencil2:for these murmurs, more flow over valve = louder murmur
Mitral Stenosis
Process: Mit. Valve thick/stenotic
- not much blood gets thru
- backs up into atrium (dilation)
- backup into lungs (fluid)
Path: Rheumatic :<3:
(inflammation, not calc)
Pt: younger (20-30s)
- s/s atrial stretch: Afib
- CHF: DOE, PND, crackles
Dx: Auscultation
- rumbling Diastolic murmur @ apex (5th IC midclav)
- opening snap
Tx: Balloon valvuloplasty
- basically angioplasty of valve
using L heart Cath
Can do valve replacement, but not initial therapy. Pt needs sternotomy, and will need serial replacements over life.

Aortic Insufficiency

Aortic Stenosis
Process: Stiff aortic valve, backup dilates LV. Dilated HF
Path: Atherosclerosis ( :glass_of_milk:Ca deposition)
- old man :older_man::skin-tone-4: w/ atherosclerosis
- Mnemonic: both abbrev. AS
- bicuspid aortic valve, younger patient
Pt: CP, HF s/s, syncope
Dx: Auscultation
- systolic murmur
- base of heart, RSB
- crescendo-decrescendo

Mitral Insufficiency
Process: Mitral valves don't come together. Blood leaves thru mitral valve & aorta. Blood in atria causes dilation (afib), lung backup.
-
- may have increased EF, since more blood leaves :<3:
Path: infx or infarction
Pt:
- Acute: Cardiogenic shock, flash pulm edema
- chronic: CHF, afib

weird murmurs...
HOCM
Process: unilateral septum hypertrophy, covers aortic opening. LV outlet obstruction. However, expanded LV (more volume) uncovers LV outlet.
-
MVP
Process: Leaflets of valves don't touch well. During systole they overlap and don't seal. Stretching ventricle lets leaflets seal, thus more volume = improved murmur

Louder: increase venous return, squat or leg lift
