L sided valvular disease Right Ans - automatic cardiology referral
MS ARD Right Ans - Mitral
Stenosis
Aortic
Regurgitation
Diastolic murmurs
MR ASS Right Ans - Mitral
Regurgitation
Aortic
Stenosis
Systolic
mitral Right Ans - *5th ICS mid chest - LSB
*Apex
*think about direction of flow through valve-->will be heard at apex, radiating

systolic murmur
AR Right Ans - blowing
diastolic
Heart failure definition Right Ans - cardiac output cannot meet the needs of
the body
Types of heart failure Right Ans - systolic: inability to contract resulting in
decreased cardiac output
Diastolic: inability to relax and fill result in decreased CO
Acute: Abrupt onset follows MI or valve rupture
, Chronic: develops as a result of compensatory mechanisms that have been
employed over time to improve CO
NYHA Class I Right Ans - No s/s
