Question

question 21 1 pts which valvular heart disease is associated with rhythmic head bobbing, pulsation in the uvula, and quinckes pulse? mitral regurgitation tricuspid regurgitation mitral stenosis aortic regurgitation aortic stenosis

Explanation:

Aortic regurgitation is a valvular heart disease where the aortic valve does not close properly, leading to blood flowing back into the left ventricle. This causes a wide pulse pressure. Rhythmic head bobbing (de Musset's sign), pulsation in the uvula (Muller's sign), and Quincke's pulse (visible capillary pulsations in the nail beds) are classic peripheral signs associated with the high - flow state and wide pulse pressure seen in aortic regurgitation. Mitral regurgitation typically presents with a pansystolic murmur and signs of volume overload in the left atrium and ventricle. Tricuspid regurgitation is associated with signs of right - sided heart failure like jugular venous distension with prominent 'v' waves. Mitral stenosis has an opening snap and a diastolic murmur, often with symptoms related to pulmonary congestion. Aortic stenosis is characterized by a systolic ejection murmur and symptoms of angina, syncope, and heart failure due to outflow obstruction.

Answer:

Aortic regurgitation
