WHAT IS GALLIVARDIAN
PHENOMENON?
GALLIVARDIAN PHENOMENON
 An acoustic phenomenon whereby the aortic
ejection systolic murmur radiates to the mitral
area with reduced intensity but prolonged
duration so as to be heard as a pansystolic
murmur
 AS often confused with MR
 Inch auscultation along the sash line
appreciates the transformation
 Sash line is an imaginary line through right
carotid, aortic area, second aortic area ,mitral
area
MR + AR
 Most common cause is rheumatic with or
without AS / MS
 Pure MR and AR is due to connective tissue
disorders with myxomatous degeneration of
valve tissue when TR coexists
 Infective endocarditis or chordal rupture
produce regurgiation in congenital or
rheumatic valve diseases
 When MR > AR , it attenuates AR
 When AR > MR , it worsens MR
 Pulmonary symptoms are earlier and
severe with MR + AR combination than in
isolation
MR + AR

 S4
MR = AR
 Wide pulse pressure
 Parasternal heave
 Longer EDM
 Longer PSM
MR > AR
 Atrial fibrillation
 Parasternal heave
 Longer PSM
AS / AR / MS /MR
 Rheumatic
 Murmurs of all four hemodynamic lesions
 Pulmonary congestion
TVD
TS
 TS is very unusual as an isolated lesion
 TS is almost always due to rheumatic
valvulitis and is associated with coexisting
disease of mitral and aortic valves
 TS almost always coexists with MS and only
rarely with predominant MR
 MS precedes TS
 TS masks MS
 TS is to be suspected when RHF persists
after adequate mitral valvotomy
TR
 Functional TR is more frequent than
organic TR and is due to severe Pulmonary
hypertension
 Severe organic TR is almost always due to
rheumatic origin and accompanies TS
 Severe organic TR coexists with Mitral or
Aortic valve disease
TS > TR
 Tricuspid OS
 The Tricuspid diastolic murmur increases and
whereas Tricuspid systolic murmur decreases
with inspiration
TR > TS
 Tricuspid S3
 The Tricuspid diastolic murmur decreases and
whereas Tricuspid systolic murmur increases
with inspiration
PVD
 Pulmonic valve disease is unusual in
rheumatic heart disease , when it occurs it is
usually in quadrivalvular disease
 Carcinoid tumor should be suspected when
pulmonary and tricuspid valve lesions coexist
How will you investigate MVD ?
History or Physical examination provides
insignificant clues to recognize pulmonary
valve disease in multivalvular disease
INVESTIGATIONS:
 ECG
 CXR
 2D ECHO
 Cardiac catheterization
How do you manage multivalvular diseases ?
 In Ideal conditions all lesions should be
corrected simultaneously
 In practice distal lesions are corrected first
followed by proximal lesions.
PROCEDURES.
 Valvotomy
 Valvuloplasty
 Valve replacement

  • 56. MS + AS  The combination of Mitral stenosis and Aortic stenosis is almost always due to rheumatic  The combinations is usually associated with significant regurgitation at either valve  Mitral stenosis masks Aortic stenosis

  • 70. GALLIVARDIAN PHENOMENON  An acoustic phenomenon whereby the aortic ejection systolic murmur radiates to the mitral area with reduced intensity but prolonged duration so as to be heard as a pansystolic murmur  AS often confused with MR
  • 71.  Inch auscultation along the sash line appreciates the transformation  Sash line is an imaginary line through right carotid, aortic area, second aortic area ,mitral area
  • 72. MR + AR  Most common cause is rheumatic with or without AS / MS  Pure MR and AR is due to connective tissue disorders with myxomatous degeneration of valve tissue when TR coexists  Infective endocarditis or chordal rupture produce regurgiation in congenital or rheumatic valve diseases
  • 73.  When MR > AR , it attenuates AR  When AR > MR , it worsens MR  Pulmonary symptoms are earlier and severe with MR + AR combination than in isolation

  • 81. TS  TS is very unusual as an isolated lesion  TS is almost always due to rheumatic valvulitis and is associated with coexisting disease of mitral and aortic valves  TS almost always coexists with MS and only rarely with predominant MR
  • 82.  MS precedes TS  TS masks MS  TS is to be suspected when RHF persists after adequate mitral valvotomy
  • 83. TR  Functional TR is more frequent than organic TR and is due to severe Pulmonary hypertension  Severe organic TR is almost always due to rheumatic origin and accompanies TS  Severe organic TR coexists with Mitral or Aortic valve disease
  • 84. TS > TR  Tricuspid OS  The Tricuspid diastolic murmur increases and whereas Tricuspid systolic murmur decreases with inspiration
  • 85. TR > TS  Tricuspid S3  The Tricuspid diastolic murmur decreases and whereas Tricuspid systolic murmur increases with inspiration
  • 86. PVD  Pulmonic valve disease is unusual in rheumatic heart disease , when it occurs it is usually in quadrivalvular disease  Carcinoid tumor should be suspected when pulmonary and tricuspid valve lesions coexist
  • 87. How will you investigate MVD ? History or Physical examination provides insignificant clues to recognize pulmonary valve disease in multivalvular disease
  • 88. INVESTIGATIONS:  ECG  CXR  2D ECHO  Cardiac catheterization
  • 89. How do you manage multivalvular diseases ?
  • 90.  In Ideal conditions all lesions should be corrected simultaneously  In practice distal lesions are corrected first followed by proximal lesions.
