17
Q

Surgical chest incision performed as treatment of most cardiac defects

A

thoracotomy

18
Q

ASD

A

Atrial Septal Defect

19
Q

Involves an abnormal opening between the right and left Atria. Blood that already contains oxygen is forced from the Left Atrium, > back to the Right Atrium.

A

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

20
Q

VSD

A

Ventricular Septal Defect

21
Q

Opening between the right and left Ventricles of the heart. Increased pressure within the Left Ventricle forces blood > back into the Right Ventricle (left-to-right shunt)

A

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

22
Q

The most common heart anomaly

A

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

23
Q

PDA

A

Patent Ductus Arteriosis

24
Q

The passageway (shunt) through which the blood crosses from the Pulmonary Artery > to the Aorta (and avoids the deflated lungs of the fetus). This vessels closes shortly after birth.

A

Ductus Arteriosis

25
Q

If the ductus arteriosis does not close after birth, oxygenated blood recycles through the lungs. Pulmonary circulation is overburdened and the heart pumps harder.

A

Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA)

26
Q

“a tightening”

A

coarctation

27
Q

A constricting or narrowing of the Aortic Arch or of the Descending Aorta

A

Coarctation of the Aorta

28
Q

Hemodynamics consist of increased pressure proximal to the defect, and decreased pressure distally

A

Coarctation of the Aorta

29
Q

Occurs when there are four defects of the heart

A

Tetralogy of Fallot

30
Q

An underdevelopment of the Left side of the heart, usually resulting in an absent or non-functional Left Ventricle, and hypoplasia of the Ascending Aorta

A

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

31
Q

A cardiac problem that occurs after birth

A

acquired heart disease

32
Q

Cardiac output is inadequate to meet the metabolic needs of the body

A

Heart Failure

33
Q

CHF

A

Congestive Heart Failure

34
Q

RF

A

Rheumatic Fever

35
Q

A systemic disease involving the joints, heart, CNS, skin, and subcutaneous tissues; a collagen disease

A

Rheumatic Fever (RF)

36
Q

Causes scarring of the mitral valves; particularly detrimental to the heart

A

Rheumatic Fever (RF)

37
Q

Refers to excessive lipids in the blood

A

hyperlipidemia

38
Q

KD

A

Kawasaki’s Disease

39
Q

May be a response to a mild asymptomatic viral infection in children with a genetic disposition

A

Kawasaki’s Disease (KD)

40
Q

Causes inflammation of the vessels in the cardiovascular system. Inflammation weakens vessel walls, and results in an aneurysm.

A

Kawasaki’s Disease (KD)

41
Q

blood clots

A

thombi

42
Q

An abnormal dilation of the wall of a Blood Vessel

A

aneurysm
