Congenital heart defects arise when
Week 3-8
Most Congenital heart defects are _____
Sporadic
Congenital heart defects often result in
Shunting btw. left and right
What is the most common Congenital heart defects?
VSD Ventricular Septal Defect
VSD Ventricular Septal Defect results in
Left-to-right shunt
Large VSD can lead to
Eisenmenger syndrome
Eisenmenger syndrome=
Pulmonary HTN
Reverse of flow
Cynaosis
Congenital heart defects (8)
VSD ASD PDA Tetralogy of fallot Transposition of the great vessels Truncus arteriosus Tricuspid atresia Coarctation of the aorta
ASD most common type
Ostium secundum
ASD ostium primum is associated with
Down syndrome
ASD result in
Left-to-right shunt
Split of S2 on auscultation
Paradoxial emboli
PDA=
Failure of ductus arteriosus to close
PDA is associated with
Congenital rubella
PDA results in
Left-to-right shunt btw. aorta and pulmonary artery
What maintains patency of ductus arteriosus?
PGE
What can lower PGE
Indomethacin
Tetralogy of fallot=
- Stenosis of right vent. outflow tract
- RVH
- VSD
- Aorta that overrides the VSD
Tetralogy of fallot results in
Right-to-left shunt
Early cyanosis
Tetralogy of fallot treatment
Patient squat in order to increase arterial resistance
Transposition of the great vessels characterized by
Pulmonary artery arising from left vent. and aorta arising from right vent.
Transposition of the great vessels is associated with
Maternal diabetes
Transposition of the great vessels present with
Early cyanosis
Transposition of the great vessels treatment
Creating of a shunt in order for the blood to mix and surgery
Transposition of the great vessels results in
RVH
Left vent. atrophy
