Trans - Adult and Pediatric Structural and Functional Correlates Flashcards
difference between adult and pediatric cardiac diseases
[1] adult - acquired cardiac diseases (eg. coronary heart disease
[2] pediatric - congenital cardiac diseases
coronary artery balloon angioplasty
procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries wherein a balloon is inserted into the artery via catheter and inflated
adult heart rate
60-100 bpm
newborn heart rate
110-150 bpm
heart rate in 2yr child
85-120 bpm
heart rate in 4yr child
75-115 bpm
heart rate in 6 yr child
60-100 bpm
CT ratio of pediatric
0.55
[T/F] newborns cannot increase stroke volume
T
newborn cardiac output is depended on?
heart rate
effect of thymus in chest xray
enlarged cardiac shadow
main difference of fetal and adult circulation
site of gas exchange
umbilical vein
entrance of oxygenated blood from placenta into the fetus
ductus venosus
shunts blood from umbilical vein away from liver into the IVC
foramen ovale
connects LA and RA to allow bypassing of pulmonary circuit
ductus arteriosus
connects pulmonary trunk and aorta to allow bypassing of pulmonary circuit
umbilical arteries
exit of deoxygenated blood from fetus into placenta
consequences of interruption of umbilical cords upon birth
[1] increase in systemic vascular resistance –> closure of ductus venosus
consequences of lung expansion upon birth [4]
[1] fall in pulmonary vascular resistance
[2] increased pulmonary blood flow
[3] increased LV pressure –> closure of foramen ovale
[4] increased blood O2 content –> closure of ductus arteriosus
what causes ductus venosus closure
increased systemic vascular resistance
what causes foramen ovale closure
increased LV pressure upon lung expansion
what causes ductus arteriosus closure
increased blood pO2 upon lung expansion, causing contraction of the smooth muscle
fate of ductus venosus
ligamentum venosum
fate of ductus arteriosus
ligamentum arteriosum
fate of formen ovale
fossa ovalis
fate of umbilical arteries
medial umbilical ligaments
fate of umbilical vein
ligamentum teres
incidence of congenital heart disease
4-8 per 1000 live births
Baltimore-Washington infant study - conclusions
frequency of certain cardiac defects varies according to gender:
[1] males - TGA, AV stenosis, tricuspid atresia
[2] females - AV canal defects, ASD, VSD
environmental factors causing congenital heart disease [2]
[1] maternal illness / infection
[2] drug exposure
