The 3 main pathological processes of acquired valve disease are- degeneration either calcific or myomatous degeneration ). Infective involving or syphilis (aortic valve). Inflammatory involving non-infective endocarditis or ?

Explanation

Question 3 of 8

1

The clinical consequences of calcific aortic stenosis include left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac compensation

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 4 of 8

Mitral valve calcification typically involves calcification of the?

Select one of the following:

leaflets
tendae cordinae
annulus

Explanation

Question 5 of 8

1

Rheumatic Heart Disease is a multi-system inflammatory disease involving the heart, skin, joints and brain. It occurs 6/52 after ? strep infection. Chronic infection includes valve scarring and damage, which can predispose to clinical sequelae.

Select one or more of the following:

Group A
Group B

Explanation

Question 6 of 8

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Rheumatic heart disease involves a ( type 2 hypersensitivity, type 1 hypersensitivity, type 4 hypersensitivty ) reaction. The target antigen is the cell wall antigen of the ( group A strep, group B strep, group C strep ). This leads to ( sterile, infective ) vegetations and activation of macrophages and cytokines which can cause damage to the heart valves.

Infective endocarditis involves formation of vegetations on heart . Most common valves affected are aortic and valves. Right sided valves typically occur with organisms or intravenous drug usage. Large destruction occurs due to vegetations involving fibrin, cells, necrotic debris and bacteria.
