Study Notes
Heart Murmurs
- Murmurs indicate turbulent blood flow; categorized as systolic (during contraction) and diastolic (during relaxation).
- Diastolic Murmurs:
- Aortic regurgitation
- Mitral stenosis
- Pulmonary regurgitation
- Tricuspid stenosis
- Symptoms: Fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations.
- Systolic Murmurs:
- Aortic stenosis
- Mitral regurgitation
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Tricuspid regurgitation
- Symptoms: Fatigue, chest pain, syncope, shortness of breath.
Congenital Heart Defects
-
Tetralogy of Fallot:
- Comprises ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta.
- Symptoms: Cyanosis, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, fainting, clubbing of fingers and toes, fatigue during feeding.
-
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA):
- Ductus arteriosus fails to close post-birth causing abnormal blood flow between aorta and pulmonary artery.
- Symptoms: Fast breathing, fatigue, poor feeding, heart murmur, frequent respiratory infections.
-
Coarctation of the Aorta:
- Aorta narrowing causing increased workload on the heart.
- Symptoms: High blood pressure (higher in arms), headache, muscle weakness, cold feet, nosebleeds, heart murmur.
-
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD):
- Involves a hole between ventricles leading to mixed blood flow; smaller ones may close spontaneously.
- Symptoms: Shortness of breath, rapid breathing, fatigue, and poor growth.
-
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD):
- Hole between atria; oxygenated blood flows from left to right atrium, causing increased pulmonary volume.
- Symptoms: Shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, frequent respiratory infections.
Peripheral Vascular Conditions
-
Hyperlipidemia (HLD):
- Elevated blood lipid levels; often asymptomatic but a risk for atherosclerosis.
-
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD):
- Atherosclerosis in peripheral arteries, reduces blood flow.
- Symptoms: Intermittent claudication, pulse loss, coolness, paresthesias.
-
Atherosclerosis:
- Plaque accumulation in arteries; leads to ischemia-related symptoms (e.g., chest pain).
-
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD):
- Damage to blood vessels outside heart/brain; similar symptoms to PAD.
Cardiac Structural Disorders
- Rheumatic Fever:
- Occurs post-streptococcal infection; leads to inflammation and potential heart valve damage.
- Symptoms: Fever, swollen joints, fatigue, chest pain, heart murmur.
Inflammatory Cardiac Conditions
-
Pericarditis:
- Inflammation of pericardium leading to pericardial effusion.
- Symptoms: Sharp chest pain, difficulty breathing when lying down, fever, pericardial friction rub.
-
Cardiac Tamponade:
- Fluid accumulation in pericardial space exceeding 200 mL, compressing heart chambers.
- Symptoms: Hypotension, jugular vein distention, muffled heart sounds.
-
Endocarditis:
- Inflammation of endocardium, often due to bacterial infection; can cause valve vegetation.
- Symptoms: Fever, chills, weight loss, heart murmur.
-
Myocarditis:
- Inflammation of the myocardium, usually viral; can lead to cardiac dysfunction.
- Symptoms: Irregular heartbeat, fatigue, potential chest pain.
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
- Permanent damage due to prolonged ischemia, typically from coronary artery blockage.
- Symptoms: Chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, decreased urine output.
Heart Failure
- Right-Sided Heart Failure:
- Inability of the right heart to pump effectively; often follows left-sided heart failure.
- Symptoms: Fluid retention, fatigue, nausea, elevated jugular venous pressure, peripheral edema.
Thrombophlebitis
- Involves vein inflammation associated with thrombosis, commonly in lower extremities.
