  1. Valvular Heart Disease Tulika Jain, MD Resident Teaching Conference December 5, 2008

  2. Auscultation • Use the diaphragm for high pitched sounds and murmurs • Use the bell for low pitched sounds and murmurs (diastolic rumble) • Sequence of auscultation • upper right sternal border (URSB) • upper left sternal border (ULSB) • lower left sternal border (LLSB) • apex • apex - left lateral decubitus position • lower left sternal border (LLSB)- sitting, leaning forward, held expiration

  3. Innocent MurmursCommon in asymptomatic adults • Characterized by • Grade I – II @ LSB • Systolic ejection pattern - no  with Valsalva • Normal precordium, apex, S1 • Normal intensity & splitting of second sound (S2) • No other abnormal sounds or murmurs • No evidence of LVH S1 S2

  4. Characteristic of the NOT Innocent Murmur • Diastolic murmur • Loud murmur - grade III or above • Regurgitant murmur • Murmurs associated with a click • Murmurs associated with other signs or symptoms e.g. cyanosis • Abnormal 2nd heart sound – fixed split, paradoxical split or single

  5. Heart Sounds Pearls • Right sided valves open earlier and close last due to lower pressure gradient • All right sided murmur and sounds tend to augment with inspiration: EXCEPTION: PULMONIC STENOSIS click DECREASES WITH INSPIRATION • Valsalva releases increases murmur of HOCM and MVP

  6. Heart Sounds: Clicks

  7. Valve Disorders • Etiology • Symptoms • Physical Exam • Testing • Severity • Indications for Surgery

  8. Younger people Functional murmur vs MVP vs bicuspid AV Older people Aortic sclerosis vs aortic stenosis Common Clinical Scenarios

  9. Young patient think congenital Bicuspid AVD 2% population 3:1 male:female distribution Co-existing coarctation 6% of patients Rarely Unicuspid valve Sub-aortic stenosis Discrete Diffuse (Tunnel) Middle aged patient(4&5th decades) think bicuspid or rheumatic disease Old patient think degenerative (6,7,8th decades) Aortic Stenosis - Etiology

  10. Aortic Stenosis: Etiology • Valvular • Subvalvular • Supravalvular

  11. Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis

  12. Aortic Stenosis: Symptoms • Cardinal Symptoms • Chest pain (angina) • Reduced coronary flow reserve • Increased demand-high afterload • Syncope (exertional pre-syncope) • Fixed cardiac output • Vasodepressor response • Dyspnea on exertion & rest • Other signs of LV failure • Diastolic & systolic dysfunction

  13. Severity of Stenosis • Normal aortic valve area 2.5-3.5 cm2 • Mild stenosis 1.5-2.5 cm2 • Moderate stenosis 1.0-1.5 cm2 • Severe stenosis < 1.0 cm2 • Onset of symptoms • 0.9 cm2 with CAD • 0.7 cm2 without CAD

  14. Aortic Stenosis: Physical Findings • Intensity DOES NOT predict severity • Presence of thrill DOES NOT predict severity • “Diamond” shaped, systolic crescendo-decrescendo • Decreased, delay & prolongation of pulse amplitude: “pulsus parvus and tardus” • Paradoxical S2 • S4 (with left ventricular hypertrophy) • S3 (with left ventricular failure)

  15. Aortic Stenosis: Physical Findings S1 S2 S1 S2 Mild-Moderate Severe

  16. Heart Sounds: Splitting AS

  17. Aortic Stenosis : Lab • EKG: LVH • CXR: Intially have concentric LVH so unremarkable; Critical AS may show post stenotic dilation of the aorta, hypertrophy, congestion

  18. CXR: AS with Post Stenotic Dilatation of Aorta

  19. Aortic Stenosis: Treatment Indications for surgery: • Symptomatic • Asymptomatic but EF < 50% • Poor performance on ETT • Reasonable if asymptomatic true AS and operative mortality is low • If low output, low gradient AS then need dobutamine stress echo

  20. Aortic Stenosis: Treatment • Aortic stenosis is a surgical disease • Treatment is valve replacement • Aortic valve balloon valvuloplasty rarely done due to stroke risk and other complications • Current trials using catheter based aortic valve replacement

  21. Any conditions resulting in incompetent aortic leaflets Congenital Bicuspid valve Aortopathy Cystic medial necrosis Collagen disorders (e.g. Marfan’s) Ehler-Danlos Osteogenesis imperfecta Pseudoxanthoma elasticum Acquired Rheumatic heart disease Dilated aorta (e.g. hypertension..) Degenerative Connective tissue disorders E.g. ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter’s syndrome, Giant-cell arteritis ) Syphilis (chronic aortitis) Acute AI: aortic dissection, infective endocarditis, trauma Aortic Regurgitation:Etiology

  22. Aortic Regurgitation:Symptoms • Dyspnea, orthopnea, PND • With extreme reductions in diastolic pressures (e.g. < 40) may see angina

  23. Aortic Regurgitation: Physical Exam • Widened pulse pressure • Systolic – diastolic = pulse pressure • High pitched, blowing, decrescendo diastolic murmur at LSB • Best heard at end-expiration & leaning forward • Hands & Knee position S1S2 S1

  24. Quincke’s sign: capillary pulsation Corrigan’s sign: water hammer pulse Bisferiens pulse (AS/AR > AR) De Musset’s sign: systolic head bobbing Mueller’s sign: systolic pulsation of uvula Durosier’s sign: femoral retrograde bruits (bell) Traube’s sign: pistol shot femorals Hill’s sign:BP Lower extremity >BP Upper extremity by > 20 mm Hg - mild AR > 40 mm Hg – mod AR > 60 mm Hg – severe AR Peripheral Signs of Severe Aortic Regurgitation

  25. Apex: Enlarged Displaced Hyper-dynamic Palpable S3 Austin-Flint murmur Aortic diastolic murmur length correlates with severity (chronic AR) in acute AR murmur shortens as Aortic DP=LVEDP in acute AR - mitral pre-closure Central Signs of Severe Aortic Regurgitation

  26. Assessing Severity of AR • Assess severity by impact on peripheral signs and LV •  peripheral signs =  severity •  LV =  severity • S3 • Austin -Flint • LVH • radiological cardiomegaly

  27. Aortic Regurgitation

  28. Aortic Regurgitation: Natural History Asymptomatic %/Y • Normal LV function (~good prognosis) • Progression to symptoms or LV dysfunction < 6 • Progression to asymptomatic LV dysfunction < 3.5 • 75% 5-year survival • Sudden death < 0.2 • Abnormal LV function • Progression to cardiac symptoms 25 Symptomatic (Poor prognosis) • Mortality > 10 Bonow RO, et al, JACC. 1998;32:1486.

  29. Aortic Regurgitation: Treatment • Before development of heart failure, AI can be treated with vasodilators (ACE Inhibitors), diuretics, salt restriction • Goal: Surgery BEFORE LV dysfunction !!!! “Rule of 55”

  30. Echo Indicators for Valve Replacement in Asymptomatic Aortic & Mitral Regurgitation

  31. A 75 year old woman with Recent orthopnea/PND • Chronic dyspnea Class 2/4 • Fatigue • Recent orthopnea/PND • Nocturnal palpitation • Pedal edema

  39. Mitral Stenosis: Etiology #1 Rheumatic #2 Rheumatic #3 Rheumatic #99 Rheumatic #100 Congenital, endocarditis, Carcinoid, Fabray, Hurler, Whipple, Atrial Myxoma

  40. 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.

  41. Mitral Stenosis Pathophysiology • Normal valve area: 4-6 cm2 • Mild mitral stenosis: • MVA 1.5-2.5 cm2 • Minimal symptoms • Mod mitral stenosis • MVA 1.0-1.5 cm2 usually does not produce symptoms at rest • Severe mitral stenosis • MVA < 1.0 cm2

  42. Mitral Valve Stenosis Pathophysiology

  43. Mitral Stenosis: Symptoms • Dyspnea, PND, orthopnea • Slow progressive course • May not admit to symptoms • Hemoptysis • Palpitations • Emboli

  44. Mitral Stenosis Examination

  45. Mitral Stenosis Physical Exam • First heart sound (S1) is accentuated and snapping • Opening snap (OS) after aortic valve closure • Low pitch diastolic rumble at the apex • Pre-systolic accentuation (esp. if in sinus rhythm) S1 S2 OS S1

  46. Auscultation-Timing of A2 to OS Interval • Width of A2-OS inversely correlates with severity • The more severe the MS the higher the LAP the earlier the LV pressure falls below LAP and the MV opens • Shorter A2-OS=more severe mitral stenosis

  47. Mitral Stenosis: ECG • LAE • With pulm HTN: RAD, RVH • AFIB
