Editor's Notes
- Discuss how heart is tachy due to trying to compensate for decrease cardiac out put and aortic insufficiency Embolization – left sided IE embolization abd. Tenderness = possible splenomegaly hematuria = kidney joint pain = joint petechia = limbs
- Subacute - pt. has preexisiting valve disease, has a clincal cause that may extend over months Acute – pt. with healthy valves and presents as a rapidly progressive illness
- Explain Vegetation Explain Left side vs. right side vegetation
- Mention #4 in case study – diagnostic criteria for IE = anemia, fever, and cardiac murmurs and explain cause murmur = valve insufficiency, aortic stenosis fever = infection spreading systematically from heart anemia = of chronic disease – inflammatory process release cytokines that causes inc. uptake and retention of iron within macrophage that leads to diversion of iron from circulation into storage sites.
- Can mention that BUN occurs due to infection
