1/5
,cause of the syncope?
ANS Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is more common in females and the elderly. An aortic
stenosis causes a decrease in cerebral perfusion which may result in
syncope.
3. What are the clinical manifestations of Mitral Regurgitation?
ANS Systolic mur- murs which radiate to the axilla originate from the
mitral valve. A valve which has regurgitation allows some blood to flow
back through the valve during the cardiac cycle.

6. An 84-year-old female patient with a history of severe aortic stenosis is
going to surgery tomorrow for a repair of a right hip fracture. Which of the
following complications is the patient most likely to have post-operatively?
ANS - Pulmonary edema
7. Aortic Stenosis
ANS Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve. Blood from the
left ventricle passes through the aortic valve into the aorta to perfuse
the body. The more severe the narrowing of the aortic valve, the less
blood moves through the valve to perfuse the body. As a result blood
backs up in the left ventricle and over time causes left ventricular
hypertrophy. The backup of blood will also eventually cause left atrial
hypertrophy, left-sided heart failure, pulmonary HTN, right ventricular
hypertrophy and right-sided heart failure.
