Aortic Regurgitation
Etiology. Systemic hypertension and ischemic heart disease are the most common causes of aortic regurgitation.
• It may occur after infectious endocarditis.
• Conditions that may affect the ascending aorta and cause aortic regurgitation:
– Syphilis
– Ankylosing spondylitis
– Marfan syndrome
– Rheumatic fever
– Aortic dissection
– Aortic trauma
Pathophysiology
Aortic regurgitation results in a volume overload of the left ventricle.
• The ventricle compensates by increasing its end-diastolic volume according to the Frank-Starling mechanism.
The left ventricular dilation is thought to overstretch the myofibrils, leading to less
actin–myosin interaction and decreased contractility.
• In acute severe aortic regurgitation, the left ventricle has not had the opportunity to dilate, its compliance is relatively high, and the aortic regurgitation therefore leads to very high left ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
If mitral regurgitation ensues, the elevated left ventricular diastolic pressure is reflected back to the pulmonary vasculature, and acute pulmonary edema may occur.
Acute aortic regurgitation results in a lower cardiac output, narrower aortic pulse pressure, and a smaller left ventricle than does chronic aortic regurgitation.
151
USMLE Step 2 CK
l Internal Medicine
Aortic diastolic pressure decreases in chronic aortic regurgitation because of both the regur­gitation of blood into the left ventricle and a compensatory decrease in systemic vascular resistance to maintain forward cardiac flow to the periphery. The increased pulse pressure in chronic aortic regurgitation is due to the large stroke volume, causing increased systolic and decreased diastolic pressure.
Clinical Manifestations
• Dyspnea is the most common complaint.
• Diastolic decrescendo murmur is the most typical.
• Systolic flow murmur
• Duroziez sign: Systolic and/or diastolic thrill or murmur heard over the femoral arteries
• S3 in early left ventricular decompensation
• Austin-Flint murmur
• Remember: Aortic regurgitation can cause 3 different murmurs.
Diagnosis
• EKG: LV hypertrophy often with volume overload pattern (narrow deep Q waves in
left precordial leads)
• Chest x-ray: LV and aortic dilation
• Echocardiography: Dilated LV and aorta; left ventricular volume overload; fluttering of
anterior mitral valve leaflet
Treatment. Endocarditis prophylaxis is no longer recommended.
• Salt restriction, diuretics, after load reduction (e.g., ACE inhibitors)
• Aortic valve replacement when symptoms worsen or ejection fraction decreases.
• Vasodilators such as an ACE, ARB, or nifedipine are the standard of care.
• Perform surgery when the ejection fraction is <55% or left ventricular systolic diam­eter is >55 mm.
Cardiomyopathy
Definition. A disease involving the heart muscle itself.
Classification. Cardiomyopathies can be classified according to morphologic and hemody-
namic characteristics.

• Doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, vincristine
• Metabolic: chronic hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, uremia

Clinical Manifestations. Symptoms and signs of left and right ventricular failure. Typical symptoms of systolic dysfunction.
Diagnosis
• X-ray: cardiomegaly with pulmonary congestion
• EKG: sinus tachycardia, arrhythmias, conduction disturbances
• Echo (key diagnostic study): dilated left ventricle, generalized decreased wall motion, mitral valve regurgitation; transesophageal echo is more sensitive and specific than transthoracic
• Catheterization: dilated hypocontractile ventricle, mitral regurgitation
Treatment. Patients are treated as those with systolic heart failure. ACE, beta blockers, and spironolactone lower mortality. Diuretics and digoxin decrease symptoms. Implantable defi­brillator may decrease risk of sudden death when the ejection fraction is <35%.
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Etiology. Although hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) can apparently develop sporadically, it is hereditary in >60% of cases and is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.
• An abnormality on chromosome 14 has been identified in the familial form of the disease.
• The distinctive hallmark of the disease is unexplained myocardial hypertrophy, usually with thickening of the interventricular septum.
Pathophysiology. As a result of the hypertrophy, left ventricular compliance is reduced, but systolic performance is not depressed. Diastolic dysfunction is characteristic, resulting in decreased compliance and/or inability for the heart to relax.
• The heart is hypercontractile, and systole occurs with striking rapidity.
• Ejection fractions are often 80–90% (normal is 60%, ±5%), and the left ventricle may be virtually obliterated in systole.
• The ability to provoke obstruction or increase/decrease already existing obstruction is influenced by several factors.

Clinical Manifestations
• Dyspnea, angina, presyncope, syncope with exertion, and palpitations
• Large jugular A wave, bifid carotid pulse, palpable S4 gallop, systolic murmur and thrill, mitral regurgitation murmur
• Sudden death can sometimes be the first manifestation.
Diagnosis
• EKG: left ventricular hypertrophy, pseudo Q waves (often seen V1–V3), ventricular arrhythmias
• Echocardiogram is the mainstay of diagnosis. It typically shows hypertrophy, systolic anterior motion of mitral valve, and midsystolic closure of aortic valve

Clinical Pearl
With HOCM, avoid the following:
• Digitalis
• Diuretics
• Vasodilators
• Exercise
Treatment
• Beta-blockers
• Calcium channel blockers that reduce heart rate: diltiazem, verapamil
• Disopyramide, occasionally
• Use implantable defibrillator if there is syncope
• Surgery in severe cases—septoplasty
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common of the causes of cardiomyopathy. It is myo­cardial disorder characterized by rigid noncompliant ventricular walls.
Etiologies
• Infiltrative: sarcoidosis/amyloidosis; hemochromatosis; neoplasia
• Scleroderma
• Radiation
Pathophysiology. The myocardium is rigid and noncompliant, impeding ventricular filling and raising cardiac filling pressures from abnormal diastolic function. Systolic performance is often reduced, but the overriding problem is impaired diastolic filling, which produces a clini­cal and hemodynamic picture that mimics constrictive pericarditis.
Clinical Manifestations
• Dyspnea, exercise, intolerance, weakness
• Elevated jugular venous pressure, edema, hepatomegaly, ascites, S4 and S3 gallop, Kussmaul sign
Diagnosis
• X-ray: mild cardiomegaly, pulmonary congestion
• EKG: low voltage, conduction disturbances, Q waves
• Echo: characteristic myocardial texture in amyloidosis with thickening of all cardiac structures
• Catheterization: square root sign; elevated left- and right-sided filling pressures
Treatment. There is no good therapy; ultimately results in death from CHF or arrhythmias; consider heart transplantation.

Clinical Manifestations. Chest pain, often localized substernally or to the left of the sternum, is usually worsened by lying down, coughing, and deep inspiration (which helps in the differential diagnosis with MI) and is relieved by sitting up and leaning forward.
Pericardial friction rub (diagnostic of pericarditis) is a scratchy, high-pitched sound that has 1 to 3 components corresponding to atrial systole, ventricular systole, and early diastolic ven­tricular filling. The ventricular systole component is present more consistently. The rub is often transient and is best heard with the diaphragm of the stethoscope as the patient sits for­ward at forced-end expiration.
Diagnosis. EKG may be diagnostic and reveals a diffuse ST-segment elevation with upright T waves at the onset of chest pain. PR segment depression is very specific.
157
USMLE Step 2 CK
l Internal Medicine
Differential Diagnosis. The diffuseness of the ST-segment elevation, absence of reciprocal leads, and absence of the development of Q waves distinguish the characteristic pattern of acute pericarditis from the pattern seen in acute MI.
Treatment of the patient with acute pericarditis involves treating its etiology. In idiopathic pericarditis, treatment with anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs, aspirin, corticosteroids) is appropriate. Adding colchicine to an NSAID decreases recurrence.
Pericardial Effusion
Etiology. Fluid may accumulate in the pericardial cavity in virtually all forms of pericar­dial disease. The fluid may be a transudate, as are the serous cavity effusions that develop in patients with CHF, overhydration, or hypoproteinemia. More often, however, the pericardial effusion is an exudate, reflecting the presence of pericardial injury.
• Serosanguineous pericardial fluid is a classic sign in tuberculosis and neoplastic dis­eases.
• Frank blood in the pericardial space may occur in cases of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection.
• Hemopericardium may also be produced by closed or penetrating trauma, rupture of the heart in acute MI, and bleeding caused by coagulation defects.
• When fluid accumulates slowly, the pericardium expands to accommodate it. When fluid accumulates rapidly, however, it compresses the heart and inhibits cardiac filling (cardiac tamponade).
Diagnosis. Echocardiography is the most effective laboratory technique available. The pres­ence of pericardial fluid is recorded as a relatively echo-free space between the posterior pericardium and the posterior left ventricular epicardium in patients with small effusions. In patients with large effusions, the heart may swing freely within the pericardial sac, and this motion may be associated with electrical alternans.
Chest x-ray may show a “water-bottle” configuration of the cardiac silhouette.
Treatment
• Fluid aspiration
• Management of acute pericarditis etiology
Definition. A life-threatening condition in which a pericardial effusion has developed so rap­idly or has become so large that it compresses the heart.

– Pericardium
• Postpericardiotomy syndrome
• Uremia
• Mediastinal and juxtamediastinal radiation therapy
• Vasculitis–connective tissue disease group
Clinical Manifestations. Most patients with cardiac tamponade complain of dyspnea, fatigue, and orthopnea.
• Pulsus paradoxus, characterized by a decrease in systolic blood pressure >10 mm Hg with normal inspiration, frequently is present. The paradoxical pulse often can be noted by marked weakening or disappearance of a peripheral pulse during inspiration. Paradoxical pulse is not diagnostic of cardial tamponade and can occur in chronic lung disease, acute asthma, severe CHF, and in some cases of hypovolemic shock.
• Neck vein distension with clear lung
• Shock (hypotension)
• Decreased heart sounds
• Beck’s triad is associated with acute tamponade; it includes low blood pressure, dis­tended neck veins, and decreased heart sounds

l Cardiology
Diagnosis. Clinical manifestations followed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, which confirms that left and right atrial pressures are equal.
Treatment
• Pericardiocentesis
• Subxiphoid surgical drainage
Constrictive Pericarditis
Definition. The diffuse thickening of the pericardium in reaction to prior inflammation, which results in reduced distensibility of the cardiac chambers.
• Cardiac output is limited and filling pressures are increased to match the external con­strictive force placed on the heart by the pericardium.
The fundamental hemodynamic abnormality is abnormal diastolic filling.
Etiologies
• Idiopathic, unknown
• Following open-heart surgery
• Following thoracic radiation
• Postviral infection
Clinical Manifestations. Most patients complain of dyspnea on exertion due to limited cardiac output. Orthopnea occurs in about 50% of patients. Symptoms and signs related to systemic venous hypertension are often reported and include ascites, edema, jaundice, hepatic tenderness,
