S1:
Caused by the closure of mitral valve and tricuspid
valve
the beginning of the systole
S2:
Caused by the closure of aortic valve and pulmonic
valve

Pathophysiology
normal 4-6 cm2
Mild MS- orifice <2 cm2
Elevated left A-V pressure gradient
History

Cough/Wheezing
Orthopnea/PND/CHF
Hemoptysis
Chest Pain-Increase RV Pressures or Unknown
Etiology
Systemic Emboli (LA clots)
Increased LA size, Decreased C.O., Atrial Fib, IE

Pathophysiology
Ejection Fraction in Mitral Regurgitation
>65% normal in compensated MR
50-65% mild impairment
40-50% moderate-severe impairment
<35% advanced impairment
As ejection fraction decreases operative risk
increases.

History

Auscultation:
High-pitched, apical systolic, blowing murmur
Between S1 and S2

Diagnosis
Eletrocardiography
Mitral valve normal size = 4-5 cm2
Regurgitation: Displacement >2 cm2

MVP Etiology
Unknown
Connective Tissue Diseases
20
MVP Pathology
Myxomatous Proliferation and
Degeneration of Valve Leaflets
Increased Quantity of Acid
Mucopolysaccharide in Middle Layer of
Valve Tissue
21
MVP History
Most are asymptomatic throughout life
Chest pain, fatigue, anxiety
Palpitations, lightheadedness, syncope
Arrhythmia-SVT, PACs, PVCs
22
MVP Management
Infective endocarditis prophylaxis
Beta blockers
Mitral valve repair or replacement
Antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants
23
Aortic Valve
Normal Structure
Valve sits at the base of Aortic Root
Three Leaflets (cusps)-non coronary, right
coronary, left coronary
Cusps give rise to ostea of right coronary
artery and left main coronary artery
Normal cross-sectional area 3-4cm2
24
Aortic Stenosis
25
Hemodynamics
Severe AS
Mean systolic pressure gradient 40mmHg
in the presence of normal cardiac output
Valve area 1.0cm2
Moderate AS
1-1.5cm2
Mild AS
1.5-2cm2
Aortic Sclerosis
26
History
Long latent period of increasing
obstruction
Symptoms usually begin in 5th or 6th
decade
Angina in 2/3 of patients
Hyperthrophied myocardium
Increased ventricular systolic pressure
All of which increase myocardial oxygen
consumption
Oxygen supply-demand imbalance leads to
27
subendocardial ischemia
Symptoms
Cardinal symptoms:
1. Chest pain
- Occurs due to O2 demand
(LV hypertrophy) and O2 delivery
- Is often related to concomitant CAD
2. Syncope
- Caused by transient cerebral blood flow
- May also be related transients VF or AF
3. Dyspnea
- Late manifestation of severe AS
Auscultation:
Harsh systolic crescendo=decrescendo murmur
Between S1 and S2
Diagnosis
Echocardiogram
Normal size >2 cm2
Mild stenosis
Size: 1.5-2 cm2
Mean gradient pressure: difference in pressure
between LV and aorta

Moderate

>1.0-1.5 cm2
Severe

Critical
>70 mmHg
<0.5 cm2

Aortic Regurgitation
32
History
Acute AR
LV cannot accommodate acute regurgitant
volume
can lead to cardiovascular collapse
Chronic AR
Gradual LV enlargement-eccentric
hypertrophy
Exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, PND, CHF
Presents 4th or 5th Decade
33
Auscultation:
Blowing decrescendo diastolic murmur
Between S2 and S1
Medical Treatment
Acute AR
As above
Chronic AR
Asymptomatic Mild-Moderate
Follow by Echo Yearly
Endocarditis Prophalaxis for all AR
May not require medical treatment
35
Medical Treatment
Symptomatic Moderate-Severe AR
36
Surgical Treatment
Indications
Defer surgery for chronic severe AR if good
exercise tolerance, EF greater than 50%, end
systolic diameter < 50 mm, and end diastolic
diameter < 70 mm
Be aware that progressive decline in LV
function or size increases surgical morbidity
and mortality
