Q

Tricuspid regurgitation

A

holosystolic murmur which is best heard at the left lower sternal border (4th interspace) with radiation to the left upper sternal border. Murmur will increase with inspiration due to increased right-sided venous return during inspiration

A

Early diastolic decrescendo in 2nd to 4th Left interspace. Best heard with pt sitting and leaning forward

32
Q

What helps increase the sound in aortic regurgitation

A

Isometric exercise will increase systemic vascular resistance and INCREASE the sound of the murmur.

33
Q

How does aortic regurgitation affect arterial pulse pressure

A

You will hear a high arterial pulse pressure with a quick drop in pressure during diastole

34
Q

Findings in labs and studies with aortic regurgitation

A

CXR: L ventricular hypertrophy
ECG: L ventricular hypertrophy
Echo with doppler is diagnostic
Cardiac cath may also be used

35
Q

Treatment with aortic regurgitation

A
  1. Blood pressure control on decreasing afterload

2. Valve replacement

36
Q

Aortic regurgitation pathophysiology

A

Stroke volume and systolic blood pressure are increased. The diastolic blood pressure decreases leading to a wind pulse pressure which eventually leads to myocardial ischemia - LV hypertrophy

37
Q

What is cardiac preload

A

The preload is the amount of stretch or pressure left in the left ventricle at the end of diastole—when the heart is the most relaxed. It is also referred to as the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure or LVEDP. The greater the preload, the more pressure is available for the next cardiac contraction.

38
Q

What is cardiac afterload

A

The afterload is the amount of vascular resistance that must be overcome by the left ventricle to allow blood to flow out of the heart. It is also referred to as the systemic vascular resistance or SVR. The greater the afterload, the harder the heart has to work to push blood through the systemic vasculature.

39
Q

What medications reduce afterload?

A

Low doses will reduce the preload, while high doses will mildly reduce the afterload. Furosemide (Lasix) and other loop diuretics will decrease the preload by decreasing the total blood volume. These drugs do not act on the heart but cause renal diuresis within an hour of intravenous administration. ACE-I (blocks the formation of certain chemicals that act on the body to maintain adequate blood pressure) Using these meds allows the vessels to relax and dialate. Sample ACE-I: enalapril, captopril, lisinopril also reduce afterlaod
