Valvular heart disease Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: A murmur due to mitral valve prolapse is loudest just before which heart sound? _____

Answer: S2

Flashcard 2: Mitral stenosis is usually due to _____ disease

Answer: chronic rheumatic valve

Flashcard 3: A murmur with a midsystolic click is indicative of what pathology? _____

Answer: Mitral valve prolapse

Flashcard 4: What is the most likely cause of a mid-systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur heard best at the right upper sternal border that radiates to the carotids?

Answer: Aortic stenosis

Extra: The murmur of aortic stenosis is a mid-systolic crescendo-decrescendo ejection murmur, typically heard loudest at the right second intercostal space (base of the heart) and radiating to the carotid arteries. It is often associated with a weak and delayed carotid pulse (pulsus parvus et tardus).

Flashcard 5: Aortic _____ may arise as a consequence of chronic rheumatic valve disease

Answer: stenosis

Flashcard 6: Late (chronic) lesions of rheumatic heart disease cause mitral _____

Answer: stenosis

Flashcard 7: Aortic _____ is associated with "Pulsus parvus et tardus", meaning pulses are weak with a delayed peak

Answer: stenosis

Flashcard 8: What is Ebstein's anomaly?

Answer: atrialized right ventricle

Flashcard 9: Arteries involved in Medial Medullary Syndrome

Answer: stroke in paramedian branches of ASA and/or vertebral arteries

Extra: Features: 1. Ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy (tongue deviation to side of lesion) 2. Contralateral hemiparesis (pyramidal tract) 3. Contralateral loss of proprioception/vibration (medial lemniscus)

Flashcard 10: Pathophysiology of migraine headache

Answer: irritation of CN 5, meninges, and/or blood vessels

Extra: Involves activation of the trigeminovascular system. Pathogenesis: Release of substance P, CGRP, and vasoactive peptides. Clinical features: Pulsating unilateral headache; 4-72 hr duration; +/- nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, aura. Treatment: - Abortive: Triptans, NSAIDs - Prophylactic: Propranolol, Topiramate, Amitriptyline
