Study Notes
- Valve disorders have various key symptoms and mnemonics to aid in identifying them.
Aortic Stenosis
- Key symptoms include Syncope, Angina, and Dyspnea on exertion, represented by the mnemonic SAD.
- Common cause includes age-related calcification and rheumatic disease
- Patients should be monitored for exertional symptoms, and prepared for valve replacement if necessary.
Aortic Regurgitation
- Characterized by wide pulse pressure, bounding pulses, and dyspnea.
Mitral Stenosis
- Symptoms include orthopnea, fatigue, a diastolic murmur, and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (A-fib).
- Common cause includes Rheumatic fever, endocarditis, Marfan's
Mitral Regurgitation
- Presents with a systolic murmur at the apex, fatigue, and pulmonary congestion.
- Common causes include MI, Rheumatic disease
Mitral Valve Prolapse
- Identified by a mid-systolic click, and may often be asymptomatic.
- Common cause includes congenital or familial.
- Patients should be educated, and monitored for palpitations
Tricuspid Regurgitation
- Manifests with Jugular Venous Distension (JVD), hepatomegaly, and peripheral edema.
- Common cause includes right ventricular failure, pulmonary HTN
Nursing Priorities for Valve Disorders
- Assess BP, and monitor for heart failure signs
- Closely monitor for atrial fibrillation (A-fib), and educate patients on anticoagulation.
- Monitor lung sounds for abnormalities, and stay vigilant for fatigue and edema.
- Fluid status should be assessed and edema managed.
