This Lecture
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Ventricular Septal Defect
• Mitral Stenosis vs Mitral Regurgitation
• Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonary HTN
• Increase in pulmonary vascular resistance
• Mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) >25mmHg at rest
• At least 30 mmHg during exercise
• Mean pulmonary wedge pressure < 15mmHg
Causes
• Group 1
• Idiopathic
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
• Group 2
• Left Heart Disease
• Pulmonary Venous Hypertension
• Group 3
• Hypoxemia
• COPD
• Group 4
• Group 5
Clinical Indications
• Dyspnea on exertion
• Dizziness
• Syncope
• Angina
Radiographic Indicators
• Prominent main pulmonary artery
• Convex shadow along the left cardiac border (PA)
• Right ventricle enlargement
• Increased cardiac border in contact with anterior chest
wall (Lat)
• Right descending pulmonary enlargement
• Transverse diameter is greater than 16mm
• Pruning of peripheral pulmonary vessels
• Abrupt tapering of distal pulmonary vessels with loss of
side branches
• Pleural effusion/Pulmonary Edema

Ventricular Septal Defect
• Holes in the ventricular septum
•
•
•
•
Conoventricular
Perimembranous
Inlet
Muscular
• Most common congenital cardiac malformation
• Up to 50% in congenitally malformed hearts
Causes
• Can exist in isolation
• Or existing with other malformations:
•
•
•
•
Tetralogy of Fallot
Double outlet right ventricle
Transposition
Univentricular hearts
Clinical Indications
• Dependent on size
• May be asymptomatic
• May be cyanotic
• Retardation of growth
• Pulmonary HTN
• Pulmonary edema
• Wheezing
• Tachypnea
Radiographic Indicators
• Cardiomegaly
• Can be difficult to diagnose due to the thymus
• Increased pulmonary vascular markings

Mitral Stenosis
• Leaflet thickening resulting in narrowing of the
mitral valve.
• Causes
• Rheumatic Fever
• Common in developing countries
• Degenerative
• Common in developed countries
Healthy Mitral Valve
Mitral Valve Stenosis
Fish Mouth Appearance
Mitral Regurgitation
• Systolic retrograde flow from the left ventricle into
the left atrium.
• Causes
• Non-Ischemic
• Degenerative
• Endocarditis
• Rheumatic
• Ischemic

Clinical Indicators
• Dyspnea
• Exercise Intolerance
• Long Murmur
• Pulmonary HTN

Aortic Stenosis
• Narrowing of the aortic valve.
• Causes:
• Age (Calcific AS, Senile)
• Similar to atherosclerosis
• Rheumatic Valve
• Congenital
Calcific Aortic Stenosis
Normal Aortic Valve

Clinical Indicators
• Angina
• Syncope
• Heart Failure
Radiographic Indicators
• Aortic Valve Calcification
• Prominent Ascending Aorta
• Left Ventricular Enlargement
