Thromboembolic
Rupture of the heart.
Leaves behind an area of yellow Necrosis scar, area with no blood flow. This area is
dead muscle and doesn't beat. This will provide an abnormal ECG. - CORRECT
ANSWER What are some complications of an acute MI.

by acute staph aureus. - CORRECT ANSWER Infective Endocarditis
Group A beta streptococcus (rheumatic fever). This causes mitral stenosis. -
CORRECT ANSWER Rheumatic heart disease
Stenosis: Valve will not open all the way; it is harder to force blood through it.
Regurgitation: valve will not close all the way; it leaks when it should be closed. -
CORRECT ANSWER Valve defects
If a valve is stenotic, you will hear a murmur during diastole.
If a valve is regurgitant, you will hear a murmur during systole. - CORRECT
ANSWER When will you hear murmurs?
Murmurs heard in systole: Aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
Murmurs heard in diastole: Mitral stenosis and aortic regurgitation. - CORRECT
ANSWER Valvular disorders
, Heard best in diastole causes fatigue, dyspnea, and palpitations. Blood from LA to
LV decreases -> decreased C.O.->backs up from LA to pulmonary system. Can
cause pulmonary edema or hypertension. Because of the high pressure in the
pulmonary system the left atria enlarges and right ventricular failure occurs. -
CORRECT ANSWER Mitral Stenosis (Rheumatic fever)
Heard best in systole. The blood from the LV regurgitates into the LA and
decreases C.O. Blood backs up in the LA and moves into the pulmonary system.
Pulmonary congestion and RV failure can occur. - CORRECT ANSWER Mitral
regurgitation
