Ischemic MR case based

1. Ischemic mitral regurgitation occurs after a myocardial infarction results in segmental wall motion abnormalities and significant coronary artery disease in the territory supplying the abnormal wall motion, but with structurally normal mitral valve leaflets. 2. The papillary muscles that connect to the mitral valve leaflets receive their blood supply from the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries and can be damaged during a myocardial infarction. 3. Damage to the papillary muscles from a myocardial infarction can lead to mitral regurgitation, with symptoms ranging from dyspnea and fatigue in the acute setting to heart failure in the chronic setting.

This document discusses ischemic mitral valve disease. It outlines the symptoms as including dyspnea, fatigue, orthopnea and pulmonary edema acutely, and being asymptomatic, syncope, palpitations or heart failure chronically.

Pulmonary embolism

The document discusses acute pulmonary embolism (PE). PE is common but difficult to diagnose, with nonspecific symptoms. It describes a case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with sudden dyspnea, tachycardia, and leg swelling who may have PE. Risk factors for PE include recent surgery or trauma, prolonged immobilization, and inherited or acquired hypercoagulable states. Diagnosis involves clinical scoring, D-dimer, imaging like CTPA, and treatment includes anticoagulation with heparin or warfarin.

Post MI Ventricular Septal Rupture

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but serious complication of myocardial infarction where a tear forms in the ventricular septum, creating a left-to-right shunt. It typically occurs 2-8 days after MI. Diagnosis is made through echocardiography which demonstrates the shunt. Urgent surgical repair is the treatment of choice to close the defect before hemodynamic deterioration, though supportive medical management may be used to stabilize the patient pre-operatively. Surgical techniques involve infarct removal and patch reconstruction of the septum. Prognosis depends on factors like presence of cardiogenic shock, with posterior defects associated with higher mortality.

EBSTEIN ANOMALY

This document provides information on Ebstein's anomaly, including its anatomy, embryology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and natural history. Some key points: - Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital defect involving downward displacement of the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. This can cause dilation of the right atrium and dysfunction of the right ventricle. - Clinical presentation varies from neonatal congestive heart failure to later cyanosis, arrhythmias, and right heart failure in adults. Associated defects are common. - Diagnosis is made through echocardiogram demonstrating displacement of the tricuspid valve leaflets. Other tests like ECG, chest x-ray, and

Wide Complex Tachycardia

Ahmed Ammar

This document discusses the differential diagnosis and evaluation of wide complex tachycardia. It lists the main differential diagnoses as ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia with pre-existing conduction abnormalities, supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction, electrolyte abnormalities, or conduction over an accessory pathway. When in doubt, it is safest to assume it is ventricular tachycardia, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease. The document outlines criteria to consider in the history and examination and ECG features that can help differentiate ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia.

Acute pulmonary embolism

https://aiimsbhubaneswar.nic.in/

This document discusses acute pulmonary embolism (PE), including its presentation, risk factors, diagnostic workup, and management. PE is a potentially life-threatening condition that is often missed or difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms. Timely treatment is important as untreated PE has a 20-30% mortality rate. Diagnostic tests include D-dimer, CT pulmonary angiogram, ventilation-perfusion scan, and angiogram. Initial treatment involves anticoagulation with heparin or fondaparinux. Long-term anticoagulation with warfarin is recommended to prevent recurrence. Thrombolysis or embolectomy may be considered for massive PE with hemodynamic instability.

Wide complex tachycardia

Tanvir Adnan

Wide complex tachycardia refers to a cardiac rhythm with a rate over 100 beats per minute and a QRS duration of 120 ms or more. It can be caused by ventricular tachycardia originating in the ventricles, or supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy or pre-excitation. Differentiating the two is important as treatment differs. The electrocardiogram and various diagnostic criteria and algorithms using features like QRS duration, axis, and morphology can help determine the origin of the arrhythmia. Treatment involves terminating unstable rhythms with cardioversion or medications, while implanting defibrillators may help prevent recurrence in some patients.

Case 3

Yihsin Wang

This 73-year-old man presented with chest tightness and respiratory distress. He has a history of heart disease including prior heart attack and pacemaker implantation. Electrocardiogram showed paced rhythms, conduction abnormalities, and ST elevation suggestive of heart attack. Imaging showed enlarged heart and pulmonary congestion. Coronary angiography revealed multiple severe blockages. Due to cardiogenic shock, he was placed on devices including IABP and ECMO and started on inotropic medications and dialysis. His condition indicated emergency revascularization was needed.

A 57-year-old male presented with recurrent palpitations. He was diagnosed with rheumatic mitral stenosis, right posterior septal accessory pathway and atrial flutter. An electrophysiological study after percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy showed that the palpitations were due to atrial flutter with right bundle branch aberrancy. The right posterior septal pathway was a bystander because it had a higher refractory period than the atrioventricular node.

Mitral stenosis - Echocardiography

Ankur Gupta

Echocardiography is a key tool for diagnosing and evaluating mitral stenosis (MS). It is essential to use an integrative approach when grading MS severity by combining Doppler, 2D imaging, and measurements, rather than relying on one alone. Echocardiography plays a major role in MS by confirming diagnosis, quantifying severity, analyzing consequences, and examining valve anatomy. Mitral valve planimetry directly measures valve area and is considered the reference standard, but additional measurements like pressure gradient and half-time are also useful. Echocardiography aids clinical decision making for patients with MS.

A 50-year-old woman presented with mild exercise-induced shortness of breath and a family history of her mother having hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Physical examination revealed reduced oxygen saturation and telangiectasias on her lips and tongue. Imaging showed a tubular opacity in her right lung lobe and an arteriovenous fistula was identified on MRI with two feeding arteries and one draining vein. Selective angiography confirmed the diagnosis and the feeding arteries were occluded, returning her oxygen levels to normal. The patient was diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia confirmed by genetic examination.

Safe pci for women

Pavan Rasalkar

The SAFE-PCI for Women Trial was a prospective, randomized trial comparing radial versus femoral approaches for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in women. 1787 women undergoing cardiac catheterization or PCI were randomized to radial or femoral access. The trial was terminated early due to lower than expected event rates. In the subgroup of women undergoing PCI (n=345 radial, n=346 femoral), there was no significant difference in the primary efficacy endpoint of bleeding or vascular complications between radial and femoral access. However, radial access was associated with a higher rate of needing conversion to femoral access. Overall, the results suggest an initial radial access strategy may be preferred for some women undergoing cardiac procedures.

A 66-year-old woman with risk factors for cardiovascular disease underwent a PET/CT stress test which showed strongly positive results. The test revealed a large, totally reversible perfusion defect in the anterior wall, apex, and septum consistent with moderate-severe ischemia in the LAD territory. Left ventricular function was normal at rest but dropped significantly with stress, and myocardial flow reserve was reduced globally with evidence of steal phenomenon in the LAD territory. Coronary calcium scoring and other PET/CT findings were indicative of high cardiac risk. The patient was found to have severe coronary artery disease on subsequent cardiac catheterization.
