    This document outlines cardiac pathology topics including valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and tumors. It discusses various types of valvular diseases like aortic stenosis and mitral insufficiency. Infective endocarditis is described as causing bacterial vegetations on heart valves with symptoms of fever and flu-like symptoms. The document also summarizes different types of cardiomyopathies including dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy and their causes and presentations. Cardiac tumors are mentioned as generally rare with metastatic tumors being more common than primary tumors such as myxomas.

    • Blood Vessels
    • Heart I
    • Heart II
    • Valvular Heart Disease
    • Cardiomyopathies
    • Tumors
    Valvular Heart Disease

    • Aortic stenosis: from wear and tear over


    time, can cause angina, fainting, CHF
    • Mitral insufficiency: caused by valve
    prolapse, usually asymptomatic
    • Mitral stenosis: caused by rheumatic fever
    (multisystem immune-mediated disease
    following untreated strep throat infection)
    Infective Endocarditis

    • Bacterial form “vegetations” on heart valves


    • Fever, flu-like symptoms
    • Acute endocarditis
    • highly virulent bug attacks normal valve
    • abrupt onset, 50% mortality rate (sepsis, emboli)
    • Subacute endocarditis
    • low virulence bug colonizes abnormal valve
    • slow onset, most patients recover
    Infective endocarditis: vegetations on valve
    Infective endocarditis: splinter hemorrhage of nail bed

    • Genetic, infectious, toxic (esp. alcohol)


    • Heart is dilated and can’t contract well
    • Progressive CHF

    • Mutation in sarcomere protein gene


    • Heart is hypertrophic and can’t fill well
    • Atrial fib, arrhythmia, sudden death

    • Secondary to radiation, amyloidosis,


    sarcoidosis
    • Heart is stiff and can’t fill well

    • Heart tumors are rare!


    • Metastatic tumors are more common than
    primary tumors.
    • Most common primary tumor: myxoma
    Cardiac myxoma
