Pathophysiology of Rheumatic fever/Rheumatic Heart Disease

Organism Factors

• Acute Rheumatic Fever is caused by infection of the upper respiratory tract with any strain of group A streptococci.

• A series of preceding streptococcal infections is needed to "prime" the immune system prior to the final infection that directly causes disease.

Host Factors• Findings of familial clustering of cases &

concordance in monozygotic twins—particularly for chorea—confirm that susceptibility to ARF is an inherited characteristic.

• HLA class II alleles• ↑levels of circulating MBL & polymorphisms

of TGF-β1 gene and immunoglobulin genes

Immune Response

Immune Response

• Epitopes present in the cell wall, cell membrane, and the A, B, and C repeat regions of the streptococcal M protein are immunologically similar to molecules in human myosin, tropomyosin, keratin, actin, laminin, vimentin, and N-acetylglucosamine.

• Human molecules—particularly epitopes in cardiac myosin—result in T cell sensitization.

Immune Response

• Laminin, another -helical coiled-coil protein like myosin and M protein, which is found in cardiac endothelium and is recognized by anti-myosin, anti-M protein T cells.

• Antibodies to cardiac valve tissue cross-react with the N-acetylglucosamine of group A streptococcal carbohydrate, and there is some evidence that these antibodies may be responsible for valvular damage.

Physical examination findings in MS, MR, AR?

Mitral Stenosis Inspection

o malar flush with pinched and blue fascies Palpation

Arterial pulse amplitude decreasedo RV tap along left sternal border signifies enlarged RV, diastolic thrill at

cardiac apex Auscultation:

o S1 accentuated and delayed and palpable at left sternal bordero S2 closely split with accented P2o OS readily audible in expiration

o Follows P2 closely, followed by a low pitched, rumbling diastolic murmur heard best at apex and does not radiate

o Soft grade 1 or 2/6 murmur heard at apex or left sternal border Hepatomegaly, ankle edema, ascites and pleural effusion if with

RV failure

Mitral Regurgitation• Usually asymptomatic for chronic mild-moderate MR• Palpation

– Arterial pressure usually normal but may show a sharp upstroke– Systolic thrill at cardiac apex– Palpable rapid filling wave (S3)– Apex beat displaced laterally– In acute severe MR

• Reduced arterial pressure• Normal or increased jugular venous pressure• Apical impulse not displaced

• Auscultation– Grade 3/6 holosystolic high-pitched decrescendo, my obliterate S2– Radiates from apex to base or to left axilla– Absent or soft S1– Premature A2 resulting in wide but physiologic splitting of S2– S3 often present– S3-S4 on those with severe MR

Aortic Regurgitation

• Inspection– Jarring of the entire body and bobbing motion of the head

with each systole– Abrupt distention (water hammer pulse) and collapse of

large arteries during late sytole and diastole (Corrigan’s pulse)

– Alternate flushing and paling of the skin at the root of the nail (Quincke’s pulse)

– Booming sound on femoral artery ( Traube’s sign)

Aortic Regurgitation• Palpation

– Elevation of systolic pressure (300 mmHg)– Depression of diastolic pressure– LV impulse is heaving and displaced laterally and inferiorly– Palpable diastolic thrill along the left sternal border, systolic

thrill in suprasternal notch transmitted in the carotid arteries• Auscultation

– Murmur is high pitched, blowing, decrescendo diastolic murmur heard best in 3rd ICS along the left sternal border

– Low pitched rumbling murmur at the apex (Austin Flint)– Soft S1, M1 and A2 often intensified– S3 and systolic ejection sound are audible– Occasionally S4 can also be heard– Auscultatory features are intensified by strenous handgrip, which

increases sytemic resistance

The Duke Criteria

The Duke Criteria

• The diagnosis of infective endocarditis is certain only when vegetations obtained are examined histologically and microbiologically.

• Duke criteria is based on clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic findings.

• 2 major criteria, 1 major + 2 minor criteria, or 5 minor criteria allows a definitive diagnosis.

The Duke Criteria

• The diagnosis of infective endocarditis is rejected if:– Alternative diagnosis is established– Symptoms resolve and do not recur within 4 days

or less of antibiotic therapy– Surgery or autopsy after 4 days or less of

antimicrobial therapy yields no histologic evidence of endocarditis

The Duke Criteria

• Illnesses not classified as definite endocarditis or rejected are considered possible cases when either 1 major + 1 minor citeria or 3 minor criteria are identified.

• To fulfill a major criterion, the isolation of an organism that causes both endocarditis and bacteremia in the absence of endocarditis must take place repeatedly and in the absence of primary focus of infection.

The Duke Criteria

• Organisms that rarely cause endocarditis but commonly contaminate blood cultures must be isolated repeatedly if their isolation is to serve as a major criterion.

The Duke Criteria

• Major Criteria– Positive Blood Culture

• Typical microorganisms from two separate blood cultures*

• Persistently positive blood culture, defined as recovery of a microorganism consistent w/ infective endocarditis from:

– Blood cultures drawn >12 hrs apart– All of three, majority of four or more separate blood cultures,

with first and last drawn at least 1 hr apart– Single positive blood culture from Coxiella burnetti or phase I

IgG titer > 1:800

The Duke Criteria

– Evidence of Endocardial Involvement• Positive Echocardiogram

– Oscillating intracardiac mass on valve or supporting structures or in the path of regurgitant jets or in implanted material, in the absence of an alternative anatomic explanation

– Abscess– New partial dehiscence of prosthetic valve

• New valvular regurgitation*

The Duke Criteria

• Minor Criteria– Predisposition*– Fever >/= 38°C*– Vascular phenomena*– Immunologic phenomena*– Microbiologic Evidence*

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

• Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that occurs in patients who, because of an inherited or acquired abnormality of cardiac structure and/or function, develop a constellation of clinical symptoms (dyspnea and fatigue) and signs (edema and rales) that lead to frequent hospitalizations, a poor quality of life, and a shortened life expectancy

• any condition that leads to an alteration in LV structure or function can predispose a patient to developing HF. – Coronary artery disease– Hypertension– Faulty heart valves– Cardiomyopathy– Myocarditis– Congenital heart defects– Arrhythmias– Chronic diseases : diabetes, severe anemia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism,

emphysema, lupus, hemochromatosis and amyloidosis

ETIOLOGY

Type of Heart Failure Signs and symptoms

Chronic heart failure(A long-term condition with signs and symptoms that persist.)

• Fatigue and weakness • Rapid or irregular heartbeat • Shortness of breath (dyspnea) when you exert yourself or when you lie down • Reduced ability to exercise • Persistent cough or wheezing with white or pink blood-tinged phlegm • Swelling (edema) in your legs, ankles and feet • Swelling of your abdomen (ascites) • Sudden weight gain from fluid retention • Lack of appetite and nausea • Difficulty concentrating or decreased alertness

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Type of Heart Failure Signs and symptoms

Acute heart failure (An emergency situation that occurs when something suddenly affects your heart's ability to function.)

• Signs and symptoms similar to those of chronic heart failure but more severe, and start or worsen suddenly

• Sudden fluid buildup

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat with palpitations that may cause the heart to stop beating

• Sudden, severe shortness of breath and coughing up pink, foamy mucus

• Chest pain if caused by a heart attack

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Enumerate the precipitating factors of heart failure.

HEART FAILURE• Pathophysiologic state

wherein the heart loses its ability to pump sufficient amount of blood due to a structural or functional cardiac abnormality

HEART FAILURE• A majority of the patients’

symptoms of heart failure are due to impairment of left ventricular function.

• Hence, a condition that leads to an alteration in LV structure or function can predispose a patient to developing heart failure.

HEART FAILURE

HEART FAILURE

HEART FAILUREPRECIPITATING CAUSES OF HEART FAILURE:

Differentiate low and high output failure, R/L sided heart failure, systolic

and diastolic dysfunction

Systolic Versus Diastolic Failure

Forms of Heart Failure

Sytolic Failure• Inability of the ventricle

to contract normally and expel sufficient blood

• Inadequate cardiac output with weakness, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance (hypoperfusion)

Diastolic Failure• Inability to relax or fill

normally (elevation of filling pressures)

• Due to increased resistance to ventricular diastolic capacity, impaired ventricular relaxation, and myocardial fibrosis and infiltration

Management

Congestive Heart Failure

• Patients With Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction– If with fluid retention:

• Use diuretics (thiazides)

– Medications that should be AVOIDED:• Anti-arrhythmics• Calcium channel blockers• NSAIDs

Circulation; Journal of the AHA http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/119/14/1977

Congestive Heart Failure

• Patients With Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction– Recommendations concerning aldosterone

antagonists:• carefully selected patients with moderately severe or

severe HF symptoms and recent decompensation or with LV dysfunction early after MI

Circulation; Journal of the AHA http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/119/14/1977

Congestive Heart Failure

• Patients With Refractory End-Stage Heart Failure (Stage D)– Intravenous Peripheral Vasodilators and Positive

Inotropic Agents:• hospitalized frequently for clinical deterioration, and

during such admissions, they commonly receive infusions of both positive inotropic agents (dobutamine, dopamine, or milrinone) and vasodilator drugs (nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, or nesiritide)
