why gtn is contraindicated in aortic stenosis?

Nitrates are contraindicated due to their potential to cause profound hypotension in aortic stenosis. Any hypertension is treated aggressively, but caution must be taken in administering beta-blockers.

A narrowing or blockage in the LAD is more serious than narrowing or blockage in the other arteries. Bypass surgery usually is the best choice for a blocked LAD. If the LAD is not blocked, and there are no other complicating factors, stents are more likely to be used, even if both of the other arteries are blocked.

NPO has been the standard of care for cardiac cath since its inception, because of the associated vomiting that was common with the first generation of radio contrast materials that were almost toxic. However, over the decades, the contrast media and the cath procedure itself have become very safe.

Heart valve stenosis is also linked to a higher risk for atrial fibrillation. For example, mitral valve stenosis results in an obstruction to blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle causing the pressure to increase in the left atrium. As a result, the heart enlarges, and atrial fibrillation can occur.

GTN works in two ways. It relaxes blood vessels in your body (causing them to widen) and this reduces the strain on your heart, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

Uses of Nitroglycerin Nitroglycerin (NTG) is used to treat people with angina (chest pain), myocardial infarction (heart attack) , congestive heart failure (CHF), and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Furthermore, the severity of disease for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis is sufficient to grant disability at the listing level without other indications of functional limitation, such as evidence of related heart failure.

What is aortic stenosis? Aortic stenosis is abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve. A number of conditions cause disease resulting in narrowing of the aortic valve. When the degree of narrowing becomes significant enough to impede the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the arteries, heart problems develop.

If the valve does not open fully, it will obstruct or restrict the flow of blood. This is called valve stenosis or narrowing. This can put extra strain on your heart, making it pump harder to force the blood past the narrowing. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards.

Dysplastic pulmonary stenosis is a less common variety with obstruction caused by myxomatous thickening of three separate but poor mobile leaflets without commissural fusion. It is associated with Noonan syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Antimuscarinics such as atropine are contraindicated in angle-closure glaucoma because of the increased likelihood of producing complete obstruction of the outflow of aqueous humor, resulting in an acute increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) in response to relaxation of the ciliary muscle.

Symptoms of aortic stenosis may include: Chest pain. Rapid, fluttering heartbeat. Trouble breathing or feeling short of breath.

In some cases of aortic stenosis, however, due to the obstruction of blood flow out of the heart caused by the stenosed aortic valve, cardiac output cannot be increased. Low blood pressure or syncope may ensue.

The acute effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) is mainly the reduction of systolic blood pressure (SBP) rather than diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

The Unna Boot is contraindicated if the patient is allergic to any of the ingredients in the paste, i.e., gelatin, zinc oxide or glycerin. 7. The Unna Boot is contraindicated in the presence of unstable heart failure, thrombus and/or arterial insufficiency and poor quality/absent pedal pulses.

Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a benign, self-limited condition that can present in infants of any gestational age, shortly after birth. It is caused due to delay in clearance of fetal lung fluid after birth which leads to ineffective gas exchange, respiratory distress, and tachypnea.

Nevertheless, like any other test, FNAC has its limitations and diagnostic pitfalls. These limitations include false negative and false positive results and a proportion of FNA results that are not obviously benign or malignant and fall into the indeterminate or suspicious group [5].
