Mention the effect of miral stenosis (MS) on AS
- There is decreased severity of angina and syncope due to AS.
- Increased chance of atrial fibrillation
- Increased chance of pulmonary artery hypertension.
- Mitral stenosis decrease the length and intensity of ejection systolic murmur.
Mention the effect
of miral regurgitation (MR) on AS
- There is decreased severity of angina and syncope due to AS.
- Increased chance of atrial fibrillation
- Increased chance of pulmonary artery hypertension.
- Mitral stenosis decrease the length and intensity of ejection systolic murmur.
What is the effect
of AR (Aortic regurgitation) on AS
- Pulse volume may be normal if AR is present with AS
- Pulse pressure may be normal.
- Apex beat is of normal character.
- There is an increase in length and intensity of murmur.
What are the
auscultatory findings in correlation with age
- Split of S2 is usually normal in young.
- S2 is usually single in elderly
- Aortic ejection click (AEC) is found only 1/3 of people above 50 years.
- Loudness of murmur is not well correlated with the severity in adults.
What is silent AS
- AS in cardiac failure murmur reappear after treatment of cardiac failure.
