Provide a brief summary of this comorbidity here.

Anesthetic implications

Preoperative optimization

  • Increased risk of perioperative cardiovascular decompensation[1]

Intraoperative management

  • Hemodynamic goals are to maintain forward flow and decrease regurgitant volume
    • Preload: normal-high to augment CO
    • Afterload: low-normal to promote forward flow
    • Rate: high-normal
    • Rhythm: sinus (rate more important)
    • Contractility: high-normal

Postoperative management

Related surgical procedures

Pathophysiology

  • Hemodynamic sequelae of AI:
    • LA distension > Volume overload > Subendothelial ischemia
    • CHF > pulmonary edema
    • RV failure > pulmonary HTN
  • In acute AI, sudden increase in LV volume can induce cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema
    • Sudden AI that does not allow time for compensatory LV dilation can result in acute pulmonary congestion

Signs and symptoms

Diagnosis

Treatment

Medication

  • Diuretics, anticoagulants
  • Immediate management of acute AI involves afterload reduction (nitroprusside) & augmentation of contractility & rate (dobutamine)

Surgery

  • Severe acute AI may require emergency AV repair/replacement
  • Note that intra-aortic balloon pump is contraindicated
