Cardiac Valvular Disorders: Diagnostic Tests and Therapeutic Measures
- Diagnostic tests for cardiac valvular disorders include history and physical examination, electrocardiogram, chest x-ray examination, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization.
- Therapeutic measures for cardiac valvular disorders include rheumatic fever prophylaxis, prophylactic antibiotic therapy, anticoagulant therapy, medication therapy, percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty, and various surgical procedures.
- Mitral stenosis results from the thickening of the mitral valve flaps and shortening of the chordae tendineae, causing narrowing of the mitral valve opening.
- The major cause of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever, and symptoms may take two to four decades to appear after the illness.
- Mitral stenosis is still a problem in underdeveloped areas where rheumatic fever occurs, and less common causes include congenital defects, tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and calcium deposits.
- Symptoms of mitral stenosis may include a click or low-pitched murmur, pulmonary symptoms, fatigue, intolerance to activity, dizziness, syncope, edema of ankles and feet, palpitations, and chest pain.
- Diagnostic tests for mitral stenosis include echocardiography, chest x-ray examination, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardiac catheterization if needed.
- Therapeutic measures for mitral stenosis include monitoring, anticoagulants, treatment for atrial fibrillation, medications for heart failure (HF), percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty, and surgical treatment such as valvuloplasty or valve replacement.
- Mitral regurgitation is the incomplete closure of the mitral valve leaflets, causing backflow of blood into the left atrium with each contraction of the left ventricle.
- Complications of mitral regurgitation include emboli formation, symptoms related to heart failure, and pulmonary edema.
- Diagnostic tests for mitral regurgitation include history and physical examination, electrocardiogram, chest x-ray examination, echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and cardiac catheterization.
- Therapeutic measures for mitral regurgitation include mechanical mitral valve replacement and the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to reduce afterload.
