2 How you feel about finals

3

4 5-10% patients >65yo Lone AF Anaemia Drugs/Alcohol

5 Treating AF Start with ABCDE Aim for restoration of SR (flecainide / amiodarone / electrical cardioversion) Or rate control via AV node blocking drugs (beta blockers / digoxin) Anticoagulation

6

7 JVP Versus Arterial Pulsation
1. More easily seen than felt “JVP is Impalpable” 2. JVP fills from above 3. Hepato - jugular reflux 4. Double wave form MAY be visible 5. JVP varies with position 6. JVP varies with respiration 7. Timing against carotid (“a’ wave out of sync) 8. Valsalva manoevre 9. JVP fills much more slowly

9 Approach for murmurs

10 Systolic Murmurs: Commonest Causes
Aortic Stenosis Mitral Regurgitation Pulmonary Stenosis Tricuspid Regurgitation Venticular Septal Defect (VSD) (Innocent/Benign Systolic Murmur!)

11 Systolic Murmurs: Aortic Stenosis Ejection Type
Mitral Regurgitation Pan systolic Pulmonary Stenosis Ejection Type Tricuspid Regurgitation Pan systolic Venticular Septal Defect (VSD) Pan systolic (Innocent/Benign Systolic Murmur)

12 The Murmur of Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis causes an “ejection type” systolic murmur usually best heard at the 2nd right intercostal space classically radiating into the carotids. “USUALLY best heard at the 2nd right intercostal Space, but commonly WELL HEARD at the apex.

13 Auscultation Tips for Finals
Listen at the 2nd right interspace first If you hear a systolic murmur the patient probably has aortic stenosis. If you hear a systolic murmur at the 2nd right interspace and also at the apex – the patient probably has aortic stenosis. If you can only hear a systolic murmur at the apex – the patient probably has mitral regurgitation.

14 Causes of Aortic Stenosis
1. Congenital (Usually Bicuspid Valve) 2. Rheumatic Heart Disease 3. Degenerative (most common nowadays)

15 Severe Aortic Stenosis : Prognosis

16 Aortic Regurgitation

17 Aortic Regurgitation Features
Large volume pulse Collapsing Corrigan’s Sign in neck EDM at Left sternal edge “Breathe in, breathe out, stop breathing” Best heard leaning forward Wide pulse pressure RILE- Right murmurs best heard on Inspiration, Left on Expiration
