Valvular heart disease Microchapters |
Overview
Classification
Valvular heart diseases are typically classified according to the valve that is affected as well as the nature of the pathological defect as follows:
- Aortic Valve
- Mitral Valve
- Mitral stenosis
- Mitral regurgitation
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Tricuspid valve
- Pulmonary valve
Differential Diagnosis
Clinicians may differentiate among different valvular heart diseases on the basis of the characteristics of the murmur and collecting a thorough patient history, as shown in the following table:
Valvular Disease | Most common cause(s) | Other causes | Murmur Description | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low/High
Frequency |
Systolic/Diastolic
Murmur |
Best Heard Location | Other Features | |||
Aortic stenosis | ||||||
Aortic regurgitation | ||||||
Mitral stenosis | ||||||
Mitral regurgitation | ||||||
Tricuspid stenosis | Rheumatic heart disease |
|
Low | Diastolic | Lower Left Sternal Border | |
Tricuspid regurgitation |
|
|
Low | Pansystolic | Mid Sternal Border | |
Pulmonary stenosis | ||||||
Pulmonary regurgitation |
