    Study Notes

    • Valvular heart disease involves defects or damage to heart valves, leading to issues like stenosis, prolapse, and regurgitation.
    • Risk factors for acquired valvular heart disease include hypertension, older age, increased cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, rheumatic fever, and infective endocarditis.
    • Symptoms of valvular heart disease can include murmurs, extra heart sounds, dysrhythmias, and dyspnea.
    • Diagnosis of valvular heart disease can involve chest X-ray, EKG, and echocardiogram.
    • Treatment options for valvular heart disease include medications like diuretics and anticoagulants, as well as procedures like percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty and valve repair or replacement surgeries.
    • Patients with prosthetic heart valves require antibiotics before dental work or invasive procedures.
    • Infective endocarditis is caused by bacteria or fungi adhering to the heart, leading to growths that can damage heart valves.
    • Risk factors for infective endocarditis include congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, prosthetic valves, and IV drug use.
    • Symptoms of infective endocarditis include fever, murmurs, petechiae, and splinter hemorrhages.
    • Diagnosis of infective endocarditis involves blood cultures and echocardiograms, with treatment typically including antibiotics and possibly valve repair or replacement.
    • Rheumatic carditis is heart inflammation following strep throat infection, triggering an autoimmune response leading to heart damage.
    • Symptoms of rheumatic carditis include tachycardia, cardiomegaly, murmurs, possible friction rub, and chest pain.
    • Diagnosis includes throat culture for streptococcal infection and ASO titer testing.
    • Treatment for rheumatic carditis involves antibiotics and potential valve repair or replacement based on the heart damage.
    • A quiz at the end of the video tests knowledge on topics like splinter hemorrhages in infective endocarditis and the relationship between rheumatic fever and valvular heart disease.
