<strong>NBE</strong> <strong>CME</strong> <strong>programme</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>DNB</strong> <strong>consultants</strong>NYHA classificationCLASS - I - No limitation of physical activities,Ordinary physical activities does not cause palpitations,dyspnoea or anginal pain.CLASS - ll-Slight limitation of physical activity. Pt is Com<strong>for</strong>table at rest.CLASS - ill - Marked limitation of physical activity ,less than ordinary activity causes fati gue, pal pitation, dyspnoea&anginaCLASS - IV - Inability to cany out any physical activity with out discom<strong>for</strong>t,syrnptoms of cardiacinsufficiency or of anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. Any physical activity causesdiscom<strong>for</strong>tMurmurs-Can occur in normal pregnancy ; Early to midsystolic murmur which is soft & of grade I &II is normal; ESM heard over Rt & Lt II ICS about 2cm from steral edge systolic or continuousmodified by pressure of stethoscope occurs due to ot flow in mammary vessels; Venous hum,Murmurs should be attached clinical significance if systolic murmur is loud or long like;PSM(VSD,MR, TR); Late SM (MR,MVP); ESM louder than Gr3/6(AS)or that varying with respiration(PS);. Or associated with other abnormalities like ejection click (pSorAS) . Munnur associated withthrill, Diastolic murmurMURMUR -Mid to late systolic murmur associated with or without mid systolic click - MVP Posturalmaneuvers are used to aid in As.; ctivities that Lt ventricular volume degree of MVP;Arrhythmias-Sinus bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial&ventIjcular premature contractions,SVT occursIn pregnancy ; VT ,multi<strong>for</strong>m premature ventricular ; complexes are less common in normal pregnancy.AF suggests heart disease; ASD can present with supra ventriculararrhythmias;Cyanosis,clubbing,pulse deficit peripheral signs of endocarditic are other signsInvestigations- Chest X-Ray - Radiation to abdomen &fetus is minimal; Use of pelvic & abdominalshield is mandatory. CXR is not specific ; Pulmonary venous congestion,cardiomegaly, valvecalcifications can be made out ECG - ST depression,flattening ofT wave in It side precordicalleadsoccurs in 14o/00fnorrnal pregnancy ;T wave inversion,Q wave in L III in seen in healthy pregnantwomen; ECG is used in diagnosing dysrrythmias &rare causes of cardiomyopathy than indemonstrating structural abnormalities of heart; Ischemic changes in ECG is important if associatedwith biochemical changes; Blood Chemistry -. Haemoglobin , TC, ESR,& LDH occurs even innormal pregnancy; serum glutamic acid transarninases & CPKwith appropriate clinical setting isused in diagnosing MI; During puerperium interpretation of enzyme should be cautious becausethey are liberated in tissue destruction of involuting uterus; MB isoenzyme of CPK is specific tocardiac muscle;ECHO -. Used to demonstrate structural changes in heart ; Bacterial vegetations.prosthetic valwlar dysfunction can be made out better by Transesophageal echo.done by attachingthe transducer to a flexible endoscope. In Marfan’ s echo showing significant aortic rootdilatation.pregnancy should be discouraged; DOPPLER -Used to study flow patterns. But prevalenceof regurgitant flow across Rt sided valve is significantly greater in nonnal pregnant woman than innon pregnant state. Hence it should be considered;USG - Important in establishing gestationalage early ; Early obstetrical scan is important <strong>for</strong> confirmation of due date; Diagnosing multiplepregnancies or fetal anomalies; USG done in 16-20 wks is used to study fetal heart & majorvessels; Those at risk <strong>for</strong> intrauterine growth retardation occurring in Eisenminger’s should besubjected to serial USG every 2-4 wks in III TrimesterDifferential Diagnosis - Normal Physiological changes during pregnancy; Anaemia ;HypoproteinemiaNon - Surgical Management - Class I & II ,Admission 2 weeks earlier to EDD; Class Ill&IV -Immediate Hospitalization, AN Care; Prevent Anemia, Prevent Infections - RI . UTI. Limitation ofactivities; JP Care - Hospitalization in tertiary care centreStage 1 - Propped up position, oxygen, sedation.81
