心胸外科

Common symptoms

右心衰竭、心瓣膜穿孔、收缩期杂音、咯血、乏力、心悸、起搏频率增高

The pathology of disease

Rheumatic mitral insufficiency is mitral regurgitation due to rheumatic deformity/retraction of leaflets and chordae, causing left-atrial/ventricular volume overload, dyspnea, and fatigue. Treatment: diuretics/vasodilators (ACE inhibitors) for symptoms; surgical valve repair/replacement when symptomatic or with left-ventricular dysfunction/dilation; secondary penicillin prophylaxis.

Common Symptoms

Dyspnea/palpitations; systolic murmur; LA/LV enlargement; history of rheumatic fever

Causes and Pathogenesis

Rheumatic retraction/fusion of leaflets/chordae prevents coaptation, causing regurgitation.

Treatment

Diuretics/ACEi; surgical repair/replacement when symptomatic/LV dysfunction; secondary prophylaxis

Preventive Measures

Secondary prophylaxis; monitor LV function.
