guidelines FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH VALVULAR HEART DISEAS DR. HASSAN CHAMSI-PASHA, MD, FRCP(Lond),FRCP(Glasg),FRCPI,FACC Published in Journal of Saudi Heart Association Valvular heart disease affects a large number of patients who require diagnostic procedures and decisions regarding their long-term management. Unlike many other forms of cardiovascular disease, there is a scarcity of large-scale multicenter trials addressing the diagnosis and treatment of patients with valvular heart disease. Recently, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have jointly published new guidelines for the management of patients with Valvular Heart Disease. This review is based primarily on these guidelines. It is extremely important to emphasize that these guidelines attempt to define practices that meet the need of most patients in most circumstances. The ultimate judgement regarding care of a particular patient must be made by the physician looking after the patient. I.

Mayo Clinic Valvular Heart Disease Report Heart Valve Disease About Heart Valve Disease The valves of the heart are made up of several very strong flaps of tissue called leaflets. Leaflets open and close as the heart contracts and relaxes, keeping blood flowing in the right direction in the heart. Heart valve disease prevents the valves from opening or closing properly, thus interfering with the flow of blood or causing blood to flow the wrong way. The two main types of heart valve disease are: Stenosis (obstruction) a valve opening becomes narrowed, making it hard to pump blood to the body. Regurgitation (insufficiency) a valve fails to close completely, causing the blood to leak backward rather than flowing forward.

The heart valves are like one-way doors, which open and close with each beat of the heart, controlling the blood flow from one chamber to the next. Each of these valves is made up of a few thin folds of tissue. When functioning correctly, they keep blood from flowing backwards into a chamber when closed. The four valves function in the following manner: The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It is the only valve with two flaps, or cusps.

Levels of Severity Endnotes (1-21) In defining the "Levels of Severity " which qualify class members for matrix compensation benefits, the Settlement requires the application of a standardized methodology or protocol. Endnotes have been used in the description of levels of valvular heart disease to indicate reference to a standardized methodology or protocol. The referenced methodologies or protocols, together with the corresponding endnote, are as follows: (Also see endnotes See Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine , 1878, 1885 (14th ed. 1998).

Conventional pulsed Doppler echocardiography was performed routinely in apical 4- and 5-chamber views by selective placement of the sample volume on the color Doppler echocardiographic regurgitation signals when present. Valvular regurgitation was diagnosed using color-coded Doppler imaging proximal to the valve plane during its closure and extended into the chamber proximal to the valve. For color Doppler studies, gain settings were adjusted to eliminate background speckling and to maximize the extent of intracavity velocity coding. MR was sought from the parasternal long-axis, apical 4- and 2-chamber, apical long-axis, and subcostal views. AR was sought using the parasternal long-axis, parasternal shortaxis, apical 5-chamber, and apical long-axis views.

Patient Education VALVULAR HEART DISEASE The Heart and Valves The heart is a hollow, muscular organ that continuously pumps blood throughout the body. It is divided into four chambers, two upper (the atria) and two lower (the ventricles). The right and left sides are separated by a wall called the septum. Valves in the heart permit blood to flow through the heart, to the lungs, and out to the body through the aorta. The tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral, and aortic valves act like one-way doors that keep the blood flowing in a forward motion. With each heartbeat, the valves open (allowing blood to flow into the next chamber or out of the heart) or close (preventing blood from flowing backward). Heart Valve Defects Types. Three types of valve defects occur: · Stenosis. A valve may become stiff or narrowed, restricting the amount of blood flowing through the heart and forcing it to work harder to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This condition can be present at birth, or it may occur gradually as a result of the formation of scar tissue or calcium deposits. · Regurgitation. A valve may lose its shape, become overstretched, or lose the ability to close completely. Blood then leaks back into the chamber form which it was pumped (regurgitation). The extra blood will eventually cause the overloaded chamber to stretch and enlarge.

We performed a study to determine the relation of valvular disease to other clinical features of lupus, whether or not the valve disease progresses, and the associated morbidity and mortality. Methods We performed transesophageal echocardiography and rheumatologic evaluations in 69 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The echocardiographic findings were compared with those in 56 healthy volunteers. Fifty-eight patients (84 percent) had second
