| Signs and symptoms commonly accompanying valvular heart disease | Murmur, dyspnea, palpitations |
| A potential complication common to patients with valvular heart disease | CHF |
| With this disorder, blood flow is obstructed from the LA to the LV | Mitral stenosis |
| In this disorder, blood backflows from the LV into the LA and then into pulmonary circulation | Mitral regurgitation |
| This disorder is the most common, and tends to be familial in young women | Mitral valve prolapse |
| In this disorder, blood flow from the LV is obstructed | Aortic stenosis |
| In this disorder blood backflows into the LV | Aortic regurgitation |
| The LVs response to backflow of blood seen in aortic regurgitation | LV hypertrophy (and Left heart failure) |
| Backflow of blood into pulmonary circulation causes this potential complication | Pulmonary edema |
| Term used to describe a valve orifice that is restricted, impeding forward flow of blood | Stenosed |
| The majority of adult cases of mitral valve stenosis result from this | Rheumatic heart disease |
| Term used to describe incomplete closure of valve leaflets resulting in the backward flow of blood | Regurgitation |
| Dyspnea is the most common symptom of this condition. It may be accompanied by hemoptysis, palpitations, and hoarsenes | Mitral stenosis |
| Teaching for mitral valve prolapse should include this: | Antibiotic prophylaxis, beta blockers, avoiding caffeine and stimulants, OTC drug use, exercise |
| The focus of collaborative care with valvular heart disease is to prevent: | Heart failure, thromboembolism, recurrent endocarditis, and recurrent rheumatic fever |
| This procedure involves threading a balloon tipped catheter from the femoral artery to the stenotic valve so the balloon can be inflated to separate the valve leaflets | Balloon valvuloplasty |
| These prosthetic valves are manufactured from manmade materials | Mechanical valves |
| This type of valve is constructed from bovine, porcine or human cardiac tissue | Biologic valves |
| This type of valve is more durable and lasts longer | Mechanical |
| This type of valve requires long term anticoagulant therapy | Mechanical valve |
