PathophysiologyStenosis- narrowed valve, increases afterloadRegurgitation or insufficiency- increases preload. The heart has to pump same blood**Blood volume and pressures are reduced in front of the affected valve and increased behind the affected valve.This results in heart failureAll valvular diseases have a characteristic murmur murmurs

This is an excised porcine bioprosthesis. The main advantage of a bioprosthesis is the lack of need for continued anticoagulation. The drawback of this type of prosthetic heart valve is the limited lifespan, on average from 5 to 10 years (but sometimes shorter) because of wear and calcification.

This is a mechanical valve prosthesis of the more modern tilting disk variety (for the mitral valve). Such mechanical prostheses will last indefinitely from a structural standpoint, but the patient requires continuing anticoagulation because of the exposed non-biologic surfaces.

This very large heart has a circular shape because all of the chambers are dilated. It felt very flabby, and the myocardium was poorly contractile. This is an example of a cardiomyopathy.

Pathophysiology Hypertrophic-HCM

**GeneticAlso known as IHSS or HOCMGet hypertrophy of the ventricular mass and impairs ventricular filling and COSymptoms develop during or after physical activitySudden cardiac death may be first symptomSymptoms are dyspnea, angina and syncope

There is marked left ventricular hypertrophy, with asymmetric bulging of a very large interventricular septum into the left ventricular chamber. This is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. About half of these cases are genetic. Both children and adults can be affected, and sudden death can occur.

Case study 15Ms. C. 81y/o admitted to CCU with SOB. She has a hx of mitral valve regurgitation with left ventricular enlargement. She received 100mg lasix IV in ER and her dyspnea improved. She has O2 at 3L/min. She has crackles bibasilar and monitor is SR rate 94-96 with occ. PVC’s. The only med ordered is MSO4 2-4mg IV as needed for chest pain or dyspnea.

As you go to assess her you find her in bed at 60 degree angle. She is pale, has circumoral cyanosis and respirations are rapid and labored.

#7While you are waiting for the the potassium level, you give morphine sulfate 2mg IV to the the client. A new graduate asks why you are giving her the morphine. What is the best response?1. It will help prevent any chest pain from occurring.2. It will decrease her respiratory rate.3. It will make her more comfortable if she has to be intubated.4. It will decrease venous return to her heart.
