What grade murmur is barely audible?
grade 1
What are heart sounds due to turbulent blood flow?
murmurs

What do you need to know when assessing an murmur?

What is an Abnormal connection between the RA and LA?
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
What happens in atrial septal defect (ASD)?
blood goes through the RA and LA when is should not
What kind of shunt happens with atrial septal defect?
left to right shunt
What happens in a left to right shunt?
oxygenated blood is mixed with deoxygenated blood –> increasing pulmonary blood flow
What fails to close that causes ASD?
foramen ovale
What does does increased pulmonary blood flow in ASD cause?
pulmonary hypertension
congestive heart failure
Will children normally be cyanotic with ASD?
no, not usually
When is Atrial Septal defect diagnosed?
often missed until childhood or adolescents
Is atrial septal defect usually alone or in combination with other CHDs?
in combination
What will the left to right shunt in ASD cause increase pressure in and cause the dilate?
increased pressure in the PA and the RV will dilate
What is more commonly used to treat pulmonary hypertension in children with ASD?
Viagra
What does Viagra do?
works on smooth muscle and relaxes it to allow blood flow
What kind of murmur seen with ASD?
soft systolic murmur
What does the murmur usually come from with ASD?
pulmonary valve from increased push of blood, not really from the defect itself
