Preview : Valvular heart disease is often first recognized during pregnancy, when increased demands on the heart trigger symptoms. The profound hemodynamic changes associated with pregnancy have marked effects on patients with this disease and require special attention and care. In this article, Drs Prasad and Ventura discuss possible causes, clinical manifestations, and management of valvular heart disease during pregnancy.

    Extractions: Background Although appetite suppressants have been implicated in the development of valvular heart disease, the exact level of risk is still uncertain. Initial studies suggested that as many as 1 in 3 exposed patients were affected, but subsequent research has yielded substantially different figures. Our objective was to systematically assess the risk of valvular heart disease with appetite suppressants. Methods We accepted studies involving obese patients treated with any of the following appetite suppressants: fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine, and phentermine. Three types of studies were reviewed: controlled and uncontrolled observational studies, and randomized controlled trials. Outcomes of interest were echocardiographically detectable aortic regurgitation of mild or greater severity, or mitral regurgitation of moderate or greater severity.

    http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2261/3/5
    
    Extractions: Background Estimates of excess risk of valvular heart disease among prior users of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine have varied widely. Two major forms of bias appear to contribute to this variability and also result in a systematic under-estimation of risk. The first, a form of nondifferential misclassification, is the result of including background, prevalent cases among both exposed and unexposed persons in calculations of risk. The second bias results from not considering the relatively short duration of exposure to drugs. Methods We examined data from all available echocardiographic studies reporting the prevalence of aortic regurgitation (AR) and mitral regurgitation (MR) among persons exposed to fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and a suitable control group. We also included one study in which previously existing AR or MR had been excluded. We corrected for background prevalent cases, estimated incidence rates in unexposed persons, and performed a person-years analysis of apparent incidence rates based on exposure time to provide an unbiased estimate of relative risk.

    Extractions: Valvular heart disease Definition Valvular heart disease refers to several disorders and diseases of the heart valves, which are the tissue flaps that regulate the flow of blood through the chambers of the heart. Description The human heart consists of four chamberstwo upper chambers (the atria) and two lower chambers (the ventricles) that are responsible for pumping blood. The heart valves are like one-way doors, which open and close with each beat of the heart, controlling the blood flow from one chamber to the next. Each of these valves is made up of a few thin folds of tissue. When functioning correctly, they keep blood from flowing backward into a chamber when closed. The four valves function in the following manner: The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It is the only valve with two flaps, or cusps. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, between the right atrium andright ventricle. It is made up of three cusps, each a different size. The aortic valve is located on the left side of the heart and opens to allow blood to leavethe heart from the left ventricle into the aorta, which is the main artery of the body. It closes toprevent blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.

    Extractions: General. Can present with a spectrum of symptoms based on the valve involved, stenosis or regurgitation, right- or left-sided, and single valve or multivalvular disease. An echocardiogram is critical to the evaluation of a patient with a heart murmur to determine if the murmur is the result of a valve lesion. Table 3-2 summarizes valvular heart disease. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP). May result from leaflet billowing, progressive expansion of the mitral annulus, or valve-leaflet myxomatous degeneration. Most patients with MVP are asymptomatic and will have a benign clinical course. Symptoms may include palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea, syncope, atypical chest pain, and episodes of supraventricular tachycardia. However, these symptoms are as common in the general population as in those with MVP and many patients with MVP found incidentally on echocardiography do not have these symptoms.

Worldwide, rheumatic fever is the commonest cause of damage to the heart valves, but in industrialized countries it is being replaced by bacterial infection of the valves themselves (infective endocarditis) and ischaemic heart disease as the main causes. Valvular heart disease is diagnosed by hearing heart murmurs with a stethoscope, or by cardiac ultrasound

    Extractions: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. WHAT IS "PHEN/FEN" ? Phentermine ("phen") and fenfluramine ("fen") are prescription medications approved by the FDA as single medicines for short-term (a few weeks) use as appetite suppressants in the management of obesity. Some physicians have prescribed them recently to be used in combination with each other and to be used for extended periods of time in weight loss programs. Such use of the products is called "off label" because there have been no studies presented to the FDA to demonstrate either the effectiveness or safety of the two drugs taken together or for longer periods of time (greater than a few weeks). "Phen" is short for phentermine , an amphetamine-like drug marketed under various trade names such as Ionamin ® and Fastin® , as well as several generic forms of phentermine. It is approved for short-term use as an appetite suppressant. "Fen" is short for
