With calcific aortic "wear and tear", leads to lipids, inflammation, calcification. This the cusps. You can have loss of % with no symptoms. The sequelae is obstruction to flow which increases the load of the . The LV adapts by . Once symptoms occur average survival is years. The only effective treatment is .

In aortic regurgitation blood leaks back from the aortic root into the left ventricle. Abnormalities include congenital disease, rhematic heart disease, endocarditis and trauma. The primary pathology occurs during diastole. Distortions to the aortic root occur with HTN, Marfans, ankylosing spondylitis, syphilis, and aortic dissection. What is the compensation of the heart?

Select one or more of the following:

Increased LV end-diastolic pressure
Eccentric LV hypertrophy
Concentric LV hypertrophy
Decreased Stroke volume
Widened pulse pressure

The mitral valve has how many leaflets?

Select one of the following:

1
2
3
4

Explanation

Question 8 of 14

1

Mitral regurgitation can occur due to?

Select one or more of the following:

leaflet abnormalities
chordae
papillary muscle
LV muscle /wall
Annulus

Explanation

Question 9 of 14

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

During mitral regurgitation endocarditis destroys ( cusps, myocardium, blood vessels ) and ruptures chordae. Rheumatic valve disease leads to scarring and retraction. Mitral valve ( prolapse, stenosis, hypertrophy ) occurs by expansion and elongation. Papillary muscle are affected during ( infarction, ischaemia, birth ).
