Mitral stenosis is caused by obstruction of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle due to fusion of the mitral valve leaflets. This limits blood flow and increases blood volume and pressure in the left atrium, eventually leading to pulmonary congestion, increased pulmonary arterial pressure, right ventricular strain, and potential right ventricular failure if left untreated. Symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, hemoptysis, and cough. Diagnosis involves assessment of pulse and murmurs, ECG, echocardiography, and other tests. Treatment includes antibiotics, management of congestive cardiac failure, surgery such as valvuloplasty or replacement. Mitral regurgitation involves backflow of blood from the

A 49-year-old male presented with syncope and was found to have cardiomyopathy with severely reduced ejection fraction less than 25% based on echocardiogram findings. Cardiac catheterization showed severe blockages of the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries. Despite a non-ischemic etiology, the patient was evaluated for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator due to the reduced ejection fraction. A separate 33-year-old male presented with chest pain and was diagnosed with an anterior STEMI based on ECG findings.
Cardiac Tamponade
Cardiac tamponade is caused by excessive fluid accumulating in the pericardium, compressing the heart and reducing cardiac output. Symptoms include dyspnea, chest pain, abdominal pain, fatigue and hypotension. Diagnosis is made through Beck's triad of hypotension, elevated jugular venous pressure, and diminished heart sounds on examination along with EKG changes and echocardiogram findings. Emergency treatment involves drainage of pericardial fluid through percutaneous needle drainage to relieve pressure on the heart.
Cardiac temponade
This document discusses cardiac tamponade, which occurs when fluid accumulates in the pericardial space and obstructs blood flow to the heart. It can be caused by conditions like cancer, infection, kidney failure, or trauma. Patients experience symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, and abnormal heart sounds. Diagnosis involves echocardiogram, chest x-ray, and catheterization. Treatment is pericardiocentesis to drain the fluid if signs of hemodynamic compromise appear. Analysis of drained fluid helps determine the cause and guide long-term management.
Chronic constrictive pericarditis
Chronic constrictive pericarditis is a condition where the pericardium thickens and scar tissue forms, restricting the heart's ability to fill with blood. It results from various causes like infections, surgery, radiation, or autoimmune disorders. On examination, elevated jugular venous pressure and equalization of cardiac filling pressures are seen. Imaging like echocardiograms and CT scans show thickened pericardium. Definitive treatment is surgical removal of the pericardium (pericardiectomy), which improves symptoms in most patients.
13. diseases of the pericardium
The normal pericardium contains a small amount of fluid that lubricates the heart. Inflammation of the pericardium can be caused by various conditions and may produce an effusion. A large or rapidly developing effusion can cause cardiac tamponade, where the heart is compressed. Tuberculous pericarditis can lead to thickening and scarring of the pericardium, causing constrictive pericarditis where the heart cannot fill properly. Surgical removal of the diseased pericardium may help but is not always successful.
Pericardial deseases

Acyanotic congenital heart diseases
This document summarizes various acyanotic congenital heart diseases. It describes the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, patent foramen ovale, pulmonary valve stenosis, and aortic valve stenosis. Common causes are genetic defects, maternal infections, or drug/alcohol use during pregnancy. These conditions are characterized by left-to-right shunts, which can cause pulmonary hypertension and right heart hypertrophy if significant in size.
Pericardial effusion
1. Pericardial effusion is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity, while cardiac tamponade is a clinical syndrome caused by excess fluid in the pericardial space, reducing heart filling and function.
2. Causes of pericardial effusion include infections, autoimmune diseases, cancer, trauma, and uremia. Symptoms vary depending on the rate and amount of fluid accumulation but can include chest pain, dyspnea, and hypotension in tamponade.
3. Diagnosis involves echocardiography, which can detect fluid and signs of tamponade like heart chamber collapse. Treatment of tamponade requires pericardiocentesis
Cardiac tamponade
A 46-year-old woman presents with increasing dyspnea and weakness. She has a history of breast cancer and is between chemotherapy treatments. On exam, she has tachycardia and rales bilaterally. Imaging shows a left-sided mastectomy and an enlarged heart shadow. This document discusses pericardial effusions, noting that 250mL of fluid is needed to enlarge the heart on CXR. Diagnosis is via echocardiogram or CT. Treatment involves drainage via pericardiocentesis if tamponade is present. Signs of tamponade include Beck's triad, pulsus paradoxus, and low voltage on EKG with possible electrical alternans.
Tricuspid atresia in pediatrics
Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart defect where the tricuspid valve is absent or closed, preventing blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. This causes the right ventricle to be underdeveloped and the pulmonary artery to be narrow. To survive, babies with tricuspid atresia rely on openings between the atria (ASD) or ventricles (VSD) and/or a patent ductus arteriosus to provide pulmonary blood flow. Treatment depends on the amount of pulmonary blood flow, and may involve procedures like shunts, pulmonary artery banding, or ultimately the Fontan procedure. Complications can include arrhythmias, ventricular dysfunction,
Presentation
This document discusses several types of cardiac dysfunction including atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, atrioventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, tricuspid atresia, transposition of the great arteries, total anomalous pulmonary venous return, and truncus arteriosus. For each condition, it describes the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluations, and management/treatment approaches.
Pericardial disease
This document summarizes three types of pericardial disease: pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, and constrictive pericarditis. Pericardial effusion involves abnormal fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity and can be caused by heart failure, kidney disease, or infections. Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency where a sudden large amount of fluid impairs heart function and can cause shock. Constrictive pericarditis develops after pericarditis and involves scarring that stiffens the pericardium and limits heart filling.
Invasive hemodynamics of constrictive pericarditis
This document discusses the hemodynamic characteristics of constrictive pericarditis (CCP) and how they differ from restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCP). Key findings in CCP include elevated and equalized diastolic pressures in all cardiac chambers, dissociation of intrathoracic and intracardiac pressures leading to respiratory variations, and ventricular interaction/discordance. RCP shows abnormalities intrinsic to the myocardium without respiratory variations and with prominent "y" descent and "square root" sign on pressure curves. Differentiating CCP from RCP and other conditions such as tamponade relies on evaluating dynamic respiratory changes and diastolic pressure patterns.

Mitral valve disorders
This document discusses valvular heart disorders, focusing on mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation. It defines stenosis as a narrowing of the valve orifice, while regurgitation is the incomplete closure of the mitral valve, allowing blood to flow back into the left atrium. The most common cause of both is rheumatic heart disease. Symptoms of mitral stenosis include dyspnea and fatigue, while regurgitation causes fatigue, dyspnea, and palpitations. Diagnosis is via echocardiogram. Treatment depends on severity but may include medications, balloon valvuloplasty, or valve replacement surgery.
Constrictive pericarditis
Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by fibrosis and scarring of the pericardium, impairing late diastolic filling. It can be caused by infections, radiation, autoimmune diseases, or chronic kidney disease. Patients develop reduced cardiac output, fatigue, hypotension, and systemic venous congestion. Diagnosis involves EKG, imaging, and catheterization. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause, diuretics, and sometimes surgical pericardiectomy.
Cardiac tamponade
Cardiac tamponade is caused by excess fluid accumulating in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart, which compresses the heart and restricts blood flow. Symptoms include Beck's triad of hypotension, distended neck veins, and distant heart sounds. Diagnosis is made through echocardiography showing excess fluid and swinging heart motion, and treatment requires an immediate pericardiocentesis procedure to drain the fluid as well as managing the underlying condition causing the accumulation.

Key concepts covered include shunting, single ventricle physiology, and factors that influence pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance. Specific defects discussed in detail include ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Surgical and anesthetic management considerations are also reviewed.
Congenital heart disease
The document describes various congenital heart diseases classified into 3 groups: left to right shunts, right to left shunts, and obstructive lesions. Specific conditions are described in detail, including tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, tricuspid atresia, and total anomalous pulmonary venous return. For each condition, typical presentations, physical exam findings, investigations, management, and surgical procedures are summarized.
Mayo Clinic Notes On Tof
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a heart defect present at birth where four structures in the heart are abnormal, resulting in deoxygenated blood flowing from the heart to the body. Babies with TOF often appear blue due to the lack of oxygen in their blood. The defects can cause obstruction of blood flow to the lungs. Treatment involves open heart surgery to repair the defects, after which symptoms usually improve. Lifelong follow-up care is important to monitor for complications.
Chronic constrictive pericarditis
Chronic constrictive pericarditis is a condition where the pericardium thickens and scar tissue forms, restricting the heart's ability to fill with blood. It results from various causes like infections, radiation, surgery, or idiopathic. On examination, elevated jugular venous pressure and hepatomegaly are seen. Imaging shows thickened pericardium. Catheterization demonstrates equal pressures in the heart chambers. Definitive treatment is surgical removal of the pericardium (pericardiectomy), which improves symptoms in most patients.

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASES PPT
There are several types of congenital heart diseases that result from defects in heart structure present at birth. Cyanotic heart diseases allow deoxygenated blood to circulate systemically, while acyanotic diseases allow blood shunting between the heart's left and right sides. Common defects include atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the aorta, and aortic or pulmonary valve stenosis. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the type of defect. Treatment may involve medication, cardiac catheterization, surgery such as defect closure or valve replacement, or in severe cases heart transplantation. Nursing care focuses on managing symptoms, preventing infection, and addressing needs like nutrition and development.
Lecture 10 valvular heart disease - Pathology
Disorders of the heart valves commonly result from infective endocarditis, rheumatic fever, ischemia, trauma, or congenital defects. The two major types are stenosis, where the valve opening narrows, and regurgitation, where the valve does not close properly. Aortic stenosis causes the left ventricle to work harder and hypertrophy. Mitral stenosis obstructs blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Aortic and mitral regurgitation cause the heart to pump blood twice per cycle, leading to dilation and failure over time. Imaging like echocardiography is used to diagnose valve disorders while treatment involves managing symptoms medically or replacing defective valves surgically.
Constrictive pericarditis
Constrictive pericarditis is caused by scarring and thickening of the pericardium, restricting cardiac filling. It is diagnosed using echocardiography which shows septal bounce, exaggerated mitral inflow, and hepatic vein reversal. While similar to restrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis shows increased ventricular interaction and respiratory effects on cardiac physiology. Surgical pericardiectomy is usually required for treatment but is high risk, with post-op complications common. Long-term survival depends on the underlying cause of constriction.
New pptx presentation
The document discusses aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the orifice between the left ventricle and aorta, limiting blood flow from the left ventricle. This causes increased blood volume and pressure in the left ventricle leading to left ventricular hypertrophy, dilation, and eventually heart failure. Aortic regurgitation is the backflow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Like stenosis, it increases left ventricular volume and pressure, eventually causing left ventricular failure and symptoms. Management may include antibiotic prophylaxis, surgical aortic valve replacement or repair, and treatment of heart failure.
Pericardial diseases
This document discusses various pericardial diseases including acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, chronic constrictive pericarditis, and tuberculous pericardial diseases. Acute pericarditis is often caused by viral infections and presents with chest pain. A pericardial friction rub may be heard. Pericardial effusion can occur with any disease causing pericarditis and may lead to cardiac tamponade, presenting with Beck's triad of hypotension, muffled heart sounds, and jugular venous distention. Chronic constrictive pericarditis results from fibrosis and scarring of the pericardium, limiting
Valvular heart disease final
Valvular heart disease can be caused by conditions like rheumatic fever, infections, and aging. The main types are aortic and mitral stenosis, and aortic and mitral regurgitation. Symptoms depend on the valve affected and include shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Exams may reveal murmurs. Tests like echocardiograms can evaluate the severity of stenosis or regurgitation. Treatment involves medications, valve repair or replacement surgery, depending on symptoms and severity. Early surgery is often recommended for severe aortic stenosis to prevent heart failure.

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins, usually of the legs. It can dislodge and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. Risk factors include surgery, trauma, cancer, and prolonged immobility. Symptoms may include leg pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors and testing such as ultrasound, venography, MRI, or D-dimer blood test. Treatment focuses on blood thinners to prevent clot growth and embolism.
Coronary vascular disorder
Coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis occur when plaque builds up in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. Risk factors include high cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Symptoms include angina and shortness of breath. Treatment involves controlling risk factors, medications, procedures like angioplasty and stents, and possibly bypass surgery. Valvular disorders like mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation can cause backflow of blood in the heart and result in heart failure if left untreated. Cardiomyopathy directly damages the heart muscle and may lead to arrhythmias or heart failure. Infections of the heart valves and muscle tissue can also severely impact cardiac function if not addressed.

This document discusses the diagnostic criteria for rheumatic fever. It lists the major criteria as polyarthritis, carditis, subcutaneous nodules, erythema marginatum, and Sydenham's chorea. The minor criteria include fever, arthralgia, elevated inflammatory markers, leukocytosis, and ECG abnormalities. A diagnosis of rheumatic fever requires supporting evidence of a preceding streptococcal infection and presence of either two major criteria or one major criterion with two minor criteria or three minor criteria.
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a genetic heart condition characterized by thickened heart muscle and reduced space in the left ventricular outflow tract. It is caused by mutations in sarcomere proteins. Symptoms include chest pain, dizziness, and heart failure. Diagnosis is made through echocardiogram showing septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Septal myectomy surgery aims to relieve outflow tract obstruction by removing hypertrophic septal tissue. While early mortality risk is high, long term survival is good for most patients after surgery. Residual systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and gradients remain issues.

The document discusses mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation. For mitral stenosis, rheumatic heart disease is the leading cause and results in thickening and fusion of the mitral valve leaflets. This narrowing of the valve orifice leads to elevated left atrial pressures and pulmonary hypertension. Symptoms include dyspnea and palpitations. Mitral regurgitation can be acute or chronic, and has various etiologies such as rheumatic heart disease. Chronic mitral regurgitation results in left ventricular and left atrial enlargement, while acute mitral regurgitation can cause pulmonary edema due to a sudden rise in left atrial pressures. Echocardiography is important for evaluating

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
