9. Abnormal Valve Function
• Valve Stenosis
– Obstruction to valve flow during that phase of the cardiac cycle when the
valve is normally open.
– Hemodynamic hallmark -“pressure gradient”
• Valve Regurgitation, Insufficiency, Incompetence
– Inadequate valve closure--- back leakage
• A single valve can be both stenotic and regurgitant; but both
lesions cannot be severe!!
• Combinations of valve lesions can coexist
– Single disease process
– Different disease processes
– One valve lesion may cause another
– Certain combinations are particularly burdensome (AS & MR)
11. Mitral Stenosis
History:
History of acute rheumatic fever,
History of murmur
Effort-induced dyspnea
Most common complaint
Often triggered by exertion, fever, anemia, onset of Afib,
or pregnancy
Orthopnea, which progresses to paroxysmal nocturnal
dyspnea
Effort-induced fatigue
Hemoptysis, due to the ruptures of thin dilated bronchial
veins (late finding)
Chest pain due to right ventricular ischemia,
concomitant coronary atherosclerosis, or a coronary
embolism
Thromboembolism may be the first symptom of MS.
Palpitations
Recumbent cough
Physical: The physical examination findings depend on
the advancement of the disease and the degree of
underlying cardiac decompensation.
Peripheral and facial cyanosis
Jugular venous distention
Respiratory distress, evidence of pulmonary edema (eg,
rales)
Diastolic thrill that is palpable over the apex
A loud S1 followed by an S2 and the opening snap are
best heard at the left sternal border.
This is followed by a low-pitched, rumbling, diastolic
murmur, which is heard best over the apex
while the patient is in the left lateral decubitus position.
Murmur may diminish in intensity as the stenosis
increases.

12. Mitral Stenosis
• History
– Asymtomatic Symptmatic
– History of past illness
– Heart Failure
• Physical
– Heart mur-mur
– Heart failure
17. Mitral Stenosis- Clinical Symptoms
• Symptoms related to severity of
MVA reduction-
• Symptoms unrelated to severity of
MS-
– Atrial fibrillation
– Systemic thromboembolism
• Symptoms due to Pulmonary HTN
and RV failure-
– Fatigue, low output state
– Peripheral edema and hepato-
splenomegaly
25. Surgery
for Mitral Stenosis
Class III
1. not indicated for patients with mild MS.
2. Closed commissurotomy should not be
performed in patients undergoing MV
repair; open commissurotomy is the
preferred approach.
Class I
1. symptomatic (NYHA functional class
III–IV) moderate or severe MS* when 1)
percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy is
unavailable, 2) percutaneous mitral balloon
valvotomy is contraindicated because of left atrial
thrombus despite anticoagulation or because
concomitant moderate to severe MR is present, or
3) the valve morphology is not favorable for
percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy in a
patient with acceptable operative risk.
2. Symptomatic patients with moderate to severe
MS* who also have moderate to severe MR should
receive MV replacement, unless valve repair is
possible at the time of surgery.
Class IIb
asymptomatic patients with moderate
or severe MS* who have had
recurrent embolic events while
receiving adequate anticoagulation
and who have valve morphology
favorable for repair.
Class IIa
Severe MS* and severe pulmonary hypertension
(pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than
60) with NYHA functional class I–II symptoms
who are not considered candidates for
ercutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy or surgical
MV repair
26. • I
– Symptomatic (NYHC),not BMV candidates
• IIa
– Symptomatic (PH), not BMV candidates
• IIb
– Asymtomatic, thrombus / embolic (+)
– Valve morphology
• III
– Mild MS
– Percutaneus Commissurotomy
Surgery
for Mitral Stenosis
27.
28. Class I
Percutaneous or surgical MV commissurotomy
is indicated when anatomically possible for
treatment of severe MS, when clinically
indicated.
Rheumatic Heart Disease
29. Class IIa
1. A mechanical prosthesis is reasonable
for MV replacement in patients under
65 years of age with long-standing atrial
fibrillation.
2. A bioprosthesis is reasonable for MV
replacement in patients 65 years of age
or older.
3. A bioprosthesis is reasonable for MV
replacement in patients under 65 years
of age in sinus rhythm who elect to
receive this valve for lifestyle
considerations after detailed discussions
of the risks of anticoagulation versus
the likelihood that a second MV
replacement may be necessary in the
future.
Selection of an Mitral Valve Prosthesis
Class I
A bioprosthesis is indicated for MV
replacement in a patient who will not
take warfarin, is incapable of taking
warfarin, or has a clear contraindication
to warfarin therapy
30. Class I
1. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography
is recommended for valve repair surgery.
2. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography
is recommended for valve replacement surgery
with a stentless xenograft, homograft, or autograft
valve.
3. Intraoperative transesophageal chocardiography
is recommended for valve surgery for infective
endocarditis.
INTRAOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT
Class IIa
Intraoperative transesophageal
echocardiography is reasonable for all
patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery.
31. End Stage MS
• LV failure
• Arythmias
• Pulmonary Hypertension
Posterior Chordal Preservation
Maze
BMV
32.
33. • PVD may occur in 5-10% of patients with untreated Septal Defect
• it does not appear to be caused solely by the magnitude of the shunt
persisting for decades.
• patients should be considered to have Eisenmenger syndrome when Septal
Defects are large and unrestrictive and when there is resting cyanosis.
• smaller Septal Defect is present in a patient with pulmonary hypertension,
other causes should be sought.
• There have been case reports of such patients being managed with
intravenous epoprostenol or oral bosentan with such success that Septal
Defects closure subsequently became possible.

53. Strategies
to treat acute PH
• Reduce Sympathetic Stimulation
– Analgesia & sedation
– Muscle relaxant
– Treat hypo & hyperthermia
– Low doses of vasoconstrictive agent if
possible
• Lower PVR
– Gas exchange
• Increase alveolar O2 tension
• Treat acidosis
• Hypocapnia
– Mechanical Ventilation
• Avoid hyper/hypo inflation
• Low intra thoracic pressure
– Vasodilating drugs
• Spesific : NO
• Non specific :
– Nitroprusside
– Glycerol trinitrate
– PDE3 inhibitor
– Isoproterenol
– Prostacyclin I2
– Prostaglandin E1

55. Atrial hypertrophy and dilatation may be
either a cause or a consequence of
persistent AF,
- Hemodynamic Consq
- Thrombus formation
- Risk for Ischemic Stroke
-Prev stroke/TIA
-Hypertension
-CHF
-Advanced age
-DM
-CAD
Decreased HRV in mitral stenosis patients with sinus rhythm suggests increased
sympathetic activity in patients prone to atrial fibrillation. The evaluation of HRV
may be a useful tool for the identification of patients predisposed to AF.
