• dyspnea chest pain syncope arrythmia systolic murmur

• faisal

• - left ventricular hypertrophy - dilation of left ventricle - adherent cusps

• symptoms & signs

• diagnosis

• felt chest pain, faint

• possible causes

• - HBP  - orthostatic hypotension - respiratory system (pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax) - CV system (angina, MI, mitral valve prolapse...) - GI (peptic ulcer, pancreatitis)

• Heart (binary/octet-stream)

• defective heart valves

• morphology

• management

• surgical: - aortic valve replacement - balloon valvuloplasty - transcutanous aortic valve insertion

• affects approximately 2% of people over age 65, 3% of people over age of 75, 4% of people over age of 85

• prevelance

• anatomy includes

• Hart (binary/octet-stream)

• - fibrosis & calcification dt wear & tear from HBP - congenital

• chronic rheumatic valve disease

• -ototoxicity -autoimmune inner ear disease 

• felt faint

• initially affects mitral valve
