Heart murmurs caused by a stenotic mitral valve ______?.

are heard as a high pitched click when the valve should be—but is not—wide open during systole.

are detected due to the turbulent blood flow that occurs as blood backflows into the left atrium

are detected if the valve's cusps are thin and flexible

All of the listed responses are true.

Mr. J , now 64 years old, was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation in his early 50’s while undergoing work-up for chest pain. He takes Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide to control hypertension. Today he comes for his yearly cardiology physical assessment and echocardiogram. 1. What should the provider ask Mr. J in order to determine if he is having symptoms of worsening mitral regurgitation? 2. Explain the pathophysiologic significance of each of these symptoms. 3. What are the expected...

Valve stenosis (“narrowing”) is a disorder characterised by stiffening of the heart valve flaps. It can occur as a congenital defect, a consequence of prolonged calcium ion imbalance, or an infection. Patients experiencing valve stenosis often have obstructed blood flow that requires surgical intervention. Think about how the blood flow would be disrupted as it passes each of the heart valves if they were stiff. What happens to the heart over all?

A client who had mitral valve replacement surgery receives a prescription for dextrose 5% in water with 0.5 grams of dobutamine in 250 ml for IV infusion at a rate of 5 mcg/kg/minute. The client weighs 75 kg. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hr? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

A relative of yours has recently been diagnosed with mitral regurgitation, a heart condition where the mitral valve does not function as it normally should. Your relative knows you are studying human physiology and asks you the importance of valves in heart function. a) Describe the pathway of blood flow through the heart starting from the vena cava and ending at the aorta. Include in your answer the role of the valves in ensuring the one-way direction of blood flow...

A urethane elastomer is selected as an artificial heart valve material. You wish to calculate the maximum theoretical strain (strain endurance limit) the material can withstand forever. This material has a threshold fracture resistance of 50 J/m^2 based upon its crosslink density, its intrinsic flaw size is 50 micron, and its tensile modulus is 1 MPa.

Coronary heart disease is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. When the flow of blood to the heart is restricted or blocked, the heart can be damaged due to a lack of oxygen. Further, if a large piece of plaque buildup gets dislodged from an artery wall, it can get stuck in other arteries throughout the body, including arteries in the brain. For simplicity, let's assume that the artery is cylindrical...
