Answer:
- When left ventricles contracts, some blood goes up through mitral valve into the left atrium, Turbulent flow through the valve causes systolic murmur. the atrium is overfilled and dilated.
- Because some blood re-entered the mitral valve, less is pumped out into the aorta. the ejection fraction is only 43%
- Less blood enters aorta, so SBP is low. Baroreceptor reflex causes increased heart rate; wall of overworked left ventricles becomes thicker
- Because its already partly full of blood from the ventricle, the left atrium accepts less blood from the lungs, the lungs overfilled with fluid; resulting in troubled breathing.
Explanation:
A murmur is a result from a abnormal blood flow to the heart.Its basically an unusual sounds that is heard between heartbeat A systolic murmur occurs when the heart muscles contracts. i.e they begin and end between S1 and S2.
From the above information, it seems like Mr G is experiencing mitral regurgitation. It is a condition where mitral valve doesnt close tightly and as a result the blood flows back from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
