Mitral Stenosis Etiology Natural history Symptoms Physical Exam Severity Timing of Surgery
14
Mitral Stenosis: Etiology Primarily a result of rheumatic fever (~ 99% of MV’s @ surgery show rheumatic damage ) Scarring & fusion of valve apparatus Rarely congenital Pure or predominant MS occurs in approximately 40% of all patients with rheumatic heart disease Two-thirds of all patients with MS are female.
15
Mitral Stenosis: Natural History Progressive, lifelong disease, Usually slow & stable in the early years. Progressive acceleration in the later years 20-40 year latency from rheumatic fever to symptom onset. Additional 10 years before disabling symptoms

19
Signs of Mitral Stenosis Palpation: Small volume pulse Tapping apex-palpable S1 Palpable S2 Atrial fibrillation Signs of raised pulmonary capillary pressure – Crepitations, pulmonary oedema, effusions Signs of pulmonary hypertension – RV heave, loud P 2 Auscultation: Loud S1 S2 to OS interval inversely proportional to severity Diastolic rumble: length proportional to severity In severe MS with low flow- S1, OS & rumble may be inaudible
20
What if you hear something? When does it occur? Is it systolic, diastolic, or both? – What is the pattern? Where is it loudest? Where does it radiate? Who goes with it?Are there other associated findings? – S2 splitting normal, loud P2, gallop sound? How does it respond? Maneuvers

35
Tetralogy of Fallot- Clinical Findings squatting “Tet spells” – due to pulmonary outflow tract spasm Severe cases ---at birth---severe PS Mild cases ---- much later---mild PS Cyanosis usually ECG reveals right ventricular hypertrophy
37
Physical Examination Central Cyanosis vs. Peripheral cyanosis Vital signs Lung and CNS examination to rule these out Cardiac Examination Heaves, thrills, abnormal or increased precordial activity Absent or diminished femoral pulses Abnormal first or second heart sound (abnormal splitting) Extra heart sounds (gallop, ejection click, opening snap) Murmurs that are loud, harsh, blowing
38

A 41-year-old man was initially evaluated 6 years previously by his family physician, found to be hypertensive, and managed with pharmacologic agents. Over the next several years, control of his BP became increasingly difficult, requiring multiple agents. He was referred to a cardiologist for further evaluation. Throughout the entire period, he has remained asymptomatic.
48
Physical examination disclosed a BP of 160/94 mm Hg and a heart rate of 75 beats/min. Precordial pulsations were normal. Auscultation disclosed a late- peaking systolic murmur heard well at the apex; however, it was also heard over the entire thoracic cage and upper back (Fig 1 ). No diastolic murmurs were audible. Simultaneous palpation of the radial and femoral pulses disclosed a significant delay of the latter. The systolic pressure in the lower extremities was 130 mm Hg, determined with a Doppler probe over the pedal vessels, yielding an ankle/brachial index of 0.85. The remainder of the examination was normal.Fig 1

Coarctation of the Aorta Grade II or III murmur Heard posteriorly & over base of the heart Hypertension in the arms, but not in the legs Decreased or absent femoral arterial pulsation
54
Coarctation of Aorta Narrowing in proximal descending aorta May be long/tubular but most commonly discrete ridge Natural hx: poor prognosis if unrepaired – Aortic Aneurysm/dissection – CHF – Premature CADz
56
Coarctation Repair Edmunds’ Cardiac Surgery in the Adult, Ch 47 Surgical correction 1) Patch aortoplasty with removal of segment and end to end anastomosis or subclavian flap repair 2) bypass tube grafting around segment
57
Coarctation of Aorta Residual or recoarctation may be seen in 3% to 41% of patients and can occur with any surgical technique or after angioplasty (seen in 8% to 11% of patients undergoing angioplasty for native coarctation)

Dyspnea & Chest Pain The patient was a 33 year old housewife who had acute cardiac failure on the sixteenth day after the onset of the disease
60
Physical examination revealed a pale thin female with tachycardia (107 beats/minute), tachypnea (22 breaths/minute), hypotension (blood pressure 86/50 mmHg), jugular venous distension with rapid “×” descent, and distant heart sounds. While the patient was being evaluated in the emergency room, she suddenly had a cardiopulmonary arrest
61
Myocarditis Myocarditis is an inflammation of the myocardium, the thick muscular layer making up the major portion of your heart. Often follows URI May present with chest pain (either pleuritic or non-specific) or signs of heart failure ECG may show sinus tachycardia, nonspecific repolarization abnormalities, and intraventricular conduction abnormalities Echocardiography documents cardiomegaly & contractile dysfunction Myocardial biopsy, although not sensitive, may reveal characteristic inflammatory pattern (ex. Giant Cell)
63
Myocarditis basics Wide spectrum of clinical consequences – Mild & self-limited with few symptoms or severe with progression to CHF & dilated CM – Very localized or diffuse – Clinical involvement can be limited to the heart or be part of widespread systemic disorder
64
Electrocardiogram showing PQ-segment depression and diffusely elevated ST-T-segments at presentation (A) and evolution after 1 day (B).
65
ECG & CXR ECG - nonspecific ST-T changes and conduction delays are common – Ventricular ectopy may be only clinical finding CXR - cardiomegaly is frequent, may have evidence for pulmonary venous hypertension & pulmonary edema
66
Diagnostics Wbc’s often elevated ESR increased Troponins elevated in 1/3 CK-MB elevated in 10% Echocardiogram helps evaluate cardiac function & exclude other causes Cardiac MRI improving in ability to see abnormalities in myocardium
67
Endomyocardial Bx Pathologic exam may reveal lymphocytic inflammatory response with necrosis, but this is not sensitive b/c of the patchy areas of distribution. “Dallas” criteria for histopathologic dx May see “Giant cells”
