C. 180/110
D. 160/110

A. Mitral Valve Prolapse
B. Prosthetic Heart Valve
C. Rheumatic Heart Disease

ANSWER: B
Previously, The American Heart Association (Aha) Recommended Antibiotic Prophylaxis
For Many Patients With Heart Murmurs Caused By Valvular Disease (E.G., Mitral Valve
Prolapse, Rheumatic Heart Disease) In An Effort To Prevent Infective Endocarditis;
However, Current Guidelines Omit This Recommendation On The Basis Of Accumulated
Scientific Evidence. If A Murmur Is Due To Certain Specific Cardiac Conditions (E.G.,
Previous Endocarditis, Prosthetic Heart Valve, Complex Congenital Cyanotic Heart
Disease), The Aha Continues To Recommend Antibiotic Prophylaxis For Most Dental
Procedures.
3. One Consequence Of Chronic Hepatitis (B Or C) Or Cirrhosis Of The Liver Is
