Cardio Flashcards
(238 cards)
Cardiac looping
week 4
primary heart tube loops to estabilish left right polarity
Kartaneger syndrome
defect in left right dyenin can lead to dextrocardia via ciliary dyskinesia
Septation and chambers
- Septum primum grows toward endocardial cushions, narrowing foramen primum
- Foramen secundum forms in septum primum
- Septum, secundum develops on the right side of septum primum, as foramen secundum maintains right left shunt
- Septum secundum expands and covers most of the foramen secundum. Residual foramen is foramen ovale
- remaining portions of septum primum forms one way valve of the foramen ovale
- septum primum closes against septum secundum sealing the foramen ovale soon after birth
- Septum secundum and septum primum fuse during infancy forming atrial septum
PFO
caused by failure of the septum primum and septum secundum to fuse after birth
lead to paradoxical emboli
Ventricle morphogenesis
- Muscular interventricular septum forms.
- Aorticopulmonary septum rotates and fuses with muscular ventricular septum to form membranous interventricular septum, closing interventricular foramen
- growth of endocardial cushions separates atria from ventricles and contributes to both atrial septation and membranous portion of the interventricular septum
VSD
membranous septum Most common Holosystolic harsh sounding murmur tricuspid area asymptomatic at birth May lead to LV overload and HF
Outflow tract formation
Neural crest and endocardial cell migrations –> truncal and bulbar ridges that spiral and fuse to form articopulmonary trunk
Conotrunal abnormalities
associated with failure of NCC to migrate
transposition of the great vessels, tetralogy of Fallot, persistent truncus arteriosus
Valve Development
Aortic/pulmonary- derived from endocardial cushions of outflow tract
mitral and tricuspid- fused endocardial cushions of the AV canal
Truncus arteriosus
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
bulbus cordis
smooth parts of left and right entricles
Primitive ventricle
trabeculared part of left and right ventricles
Primitive atrium
trabeculated part of left and right atria
left horn of sinus venosus
coronary sinus
right horn of sinus venosus
smooth part of right atrium
endocardial cushion
atrial septum, membranous interventricular septum, AV and semilunar valves
right common cardinal V and right anterior cardinal V
SVC
Posterior, subcardinal and surpacardinal V
IVC
primitive pulmonary V
smooth part of L atrium
Fetal circulation
- Blood entering fetus through the umbilical V is conducted via ductus venosus into the IVC, bypass hepatic circulation
- most of the oxygenated blood reaching the heart via IVC is directed through foramen ovale into the L atrium
- Deoxygenated blood from SVC passes through the RA –> RV –> main pulmonary A –> Ductus arteriosus –> descending aorta
At birth, infant takes deep breath –> decrease resistance in pulmonary vasculature –> increase LA pressure –> foramen ovale closes
High O2 and low prostaglandins –> closure of ductus arteriosus
Indamethacin
close patent ductus arteriosus –> Ligamentum arteriosum
Prostaglandin E 1 and 2
Keep PDA open
