Year 3 Cardio Crash Course Pt. 1 ISOC MedEd 31/10/24Introduction ● Who are we? ● Our mission ● Our team ● Our plan 2The Year 3 ISoc MedEd Team Leads: Teachers: ● Kalsoom Adil ● Amina Yasmin ● Manam Mahmood ● Ayesha Waseem ● Raiyan Aseri ● Daniel Choudhary ● Deylan Dyare ● Hana Farman ● Mainur Kazi ● Nabihah Hussaini ● Noorulanne Younis ● Sufian Naseer *Today’s lineup in bold* ● Zahin Khan 3Upcoming Events ● Cardiology Crash Course Part 2 - Tue 19th Nov ● Gastro Crash Course Part 1 - TBC 4 HEART MURMURSnur Kazi THEHEART It works as a pump to move the blood around the body.ValvesSYSTOLE The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries. DIASTOLE The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood NormalHeart Sounds SI S2 Closing of mitral and tricuspid valves at Closing of aortic and pulmonic valves at transition from diastole to systole transition from systole to diastole Heard best at apex Heard best at upper sternal borders AdditionalHeartSounds S3 and S4 are extra heart sounds that can sometimes be heard after S2 and before S1. S3 S4 When: Right after the "dub" of S2 (early diastole When: Just before the "lub" of S1 (late diastole) when mitral valve opens) Why: S4 happens if the atria are pushing blood Why: S3 happens when there is rapid filling of a into a stiff/ hypertrophied ventricle. This can compliant/ dilated ventricle. This can cause happen if the ventricles are thicker/ less compliant. vibrations that create a faint sound. Normal or Not?: S4 is rarely normal and usually Normal or Not?: In teenagers/ athletes, hearing happens because of heart problems, especially in S3 can actually be normal since the heart can older people. E.g., Aortic stenosis, hypertension, be more elastic. But in older adults, it can left ventricular hypertrophy indicate volume overload: MR, heart failure, - Can’t occur in AF, why?? requires atrial dilated cardiomyopathy systole Sound: lub-dub-da Sound: Often described as "ta-lub-dub" MURMURS What is a murmur? Turbulent blood flow across heart valve/ heart Who is affected? Commonly seen in newborns, congenital, acquired diseases and degenerative 70+ How are heart valve diseases diagnosed? Auscultate a murmur when examining the patient, echocardiogram/ cardiac tests How is heart valve disease treated? -Watchful waiting: Most are asymptomatic, observed in secondary care/ community overtime, ● Symptomatic, severe= open heart valve surgery = cardiopulmonary bypass ad valve replacement/ repair surgery, transcatheter therapiesCAUSES OFMURMURS 1 Stiff valves - calcification- stenosis 2 Leaky valves - prolapse- regurgitation 3 Stretched out ventricle- dilated 4 Stiff ventricle - hypertrophy 5 Congenital defect - septal OtherCauses 1 Increased blood flow- pregnancy, fever, anaemia, or hyperthyroidism 2 Structural variation- anatomical variations so heart sounds heard more clearly Exercise related- increased heart 3 rate/ blood flow- transient murmur Infective Endocarditis- ‘new 4 valvular regurgitation’- major 5 Dehydration and many others! HOWDOIDESCRIBEAMURMUR??? - Timing - Systolic, diastolic, continuous - Location and Radiation - Shape - Crescendo-Decrescendo, Decrescendo, Uniform (holosystolic) - Pitch - High, low, mix (harsh) - Intensity - Grading - Quality - Blowing/ rumbling/ musical etc - Response to manoeuvres Grading Levine scale: loudness of murmur numerically graded ***Thrill- palpable murmurEjection SystolicAortic Stenosis Causes ● >65= senile calcification ● <65= bicuspid valve, rheumatic fever Features ● Best heard: aortic area ● Ejection systolic murmur, radiate to carotids ● Narrow pulse pressure, slow rising pulse ● Apex is forceful ● Quality: crescendo-decrescendo ● S2 quiet in calcified valves with severe stenosis ● Can have LV heave ● Harsh, louder on expiration Ix with ECG (LVH, P mitrale), echo shows flow, pressure and degree of stenosis Management ● Observe ASx ● Sx (angina/SOB/syncope) needs valve replacement or balloon valvuloplasty (TAVI if unsuitable for surgery)HypertrophicObstructiveCardiomyopathy/ Causes HCM● Autosomal dominant inheritance ● LV outflow obstruction from asymmetrical septal hypertrophy ● Commonly affects LV septum Features ● Presyncope/syncope ● Angina and ischaemia ● Arrhythmia ● Severe cases have CCF, orthopnoea ● Systolic thrill at LLSE ● Harsh ejection systolic murmur Ix with cardiac MRI= gold standard to show LV wall abnormalities (can do echo) Management ● Beta-blockers or verapamil ● Amiodarone for arrhythmias ● Septal myomectomy ● Consider implantable defibrillator HOCM causes sudden cardiac death in the youngAtrialSeptalDefect Causes ● Congenital defect Features ● Ejection systolic murmur radiating to the back ● Fixed split second heart sound ● Ostium primum presents early and is associated with Down Syndrome ● Ostium secundum is often ASx until there is reversal of L to R shunt leading to pulmonary HTN and reverse shunting (Eisenmenger’s syndrome) ○ Cyanosis, HF and chest infections Ix- echo is diagnostic Management ● If adults get Sx then transcatheter closure with surgeryAortic Sclerosis ● Due to senile degradation of the valve ● Ejection systolic murmur ● No radiation to the carotid or changes in pulse pressureCoarctation oftheaorta Causes ● Congenital narrowing of descending aorta Features ● Radio-femoral delay and weak femoral pulses ● HTN ● Systolic murmur heard best over scapula ● Can lead to HF and infective endocarditis Ix- CT or MRI angiogram used for Dx Management ● Stenting or surgeryMitralValveProlapse Causes ● Seen in congenital disorders, patent DA, ASD or cardiomyopathy Features ● Mid-systolic click and late systolic murmur ● Chest pain and palpitations Ix- Echo is diagnostic Management Beta-blockers for palpitations and valve replacementPansystolic/HolosystolicMitral Regurgitation Causes ● Calcification with age ● Infective endocarditis ● Post-MI rupture of papillary muscles ● Mitral valve prolapse (Marfan’s) ● Rheumatic fever Features ● Pansystolic murmur, radiates to axilla ● Apex beat is strong and displaced ● Blowing/ musical murmur ● Soft S1 from incomplete mitral closure, S2 heard ● Can be ASx or have pulmonary HTN and oedema (dyspnoea, palpitations) ● RV heave Ix with ECG (AF, P mitrale, LVH), echo to assess LV function Management ● Treat the LV failure (ACEi to reduce afterload) ● Valve replacementVentricularSeptalDefect Causes ● Can be congenital or post-MI Features ● Pansystolic murmur with systolic thrill ● Patients can be ASx or have severe HF ● Larger holes are quiet with signs of pulmonary HTN Ix- CXR: can show large pulmonary arteries, cardiomegaly Management ● Tx with surgery if medical therapy fails, patient is showing Sx or there is shuntingTricuspidRegurgitation ● Pansystolic regurgitation ● RV dilatation from rheumatic fever and infective endocarditis ● Features: ascites, dyspnoeaDiastolicAortic Regurgitation Causes ● Infective endocarditis ● Autoimmune disorders (SLE, RA) ● Connective tissue (Marfan’s) ● Aortic dissection Features ● EARLY diastolic ● exertional dyspnoea and orthopnoea ● Decrescendo, “blowing” (high pitched) ● Best heard- LLSE sitting forward, on expiration Associated with: ● Collapsing, bounding pulse, wide pulse pressure ● Thrusting apex beat ● Quincke’s sign (pulsating nail beds) ● Corrigan’s sign (exaggerated carotid pulse) ● De Musset’s sign (head bobbing with carotid pulsation) Ix with Echo, ECG Management ● ACEi to reduce afterload ● Valve replacement Tricuspid stenosis- same but in tricuspid region Mitral Stenosis Causes ● Rheumatic fever ● Congenital Features ● MID-LATE diastolic murmur best heard in expiration ● Palpable S1 ● Rumbling sound ● Opening snap in early diastole ● Parasternal heave ● Patients can have malar flush, dyspnoea ● LA dilatation can compress on structures can cause hoarseness and bronchial obstruction Ix with ECG to show AF, P mitrale, echo- stenosis, CXR shows left atrial enlargement and pulmonary oedema + HTN Management ● Treat AF ● Diuretics to reduce preload ● Valve replacementContinuous murmur-machinelike Abnormal connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, - Normally closed in infancy - Since aortic pressure is higher than pulmonary pressure, a continuous murmur occurs. - This murmur is often described as a machinery murmur, or Gibson's murmur. Echocardiogram and nearby blood vessels.d scan that uses sound waves to create an image of the heartThingstoremember!! Learnthis !!! CCAs- Cardio examination- potential additional questions Focused examination on aortic regurgitation (lots of clinical signs if severe) Ask the CCA examiner if they would like you to perform any dynamic manoeuvresQUESTION 1 🫣EXAMQUESTION 2 😳 Kalsoom Adil Aortic Dissection, Pericardial DiseasePericarditis 6 1 2 3 4 5 WHAT IS PERICARDITIS?
