cardiology Flashcards
(87 cards)
types of shunts in antenatal circulation
ductus venosus
ductus arteriosus
foramen ovale
what circulation changes happwn after birth?
- doctus venosus closes as placenta removed
- lt sided circulation pressure increase leading to closure of ductus arteriosus
- LA pressure > RA pressure causes foramen ovale to close
incidence of cardiac malformation in live births?
8 in 1000
incidence of cardiac abnormalities in stillbirths?
1 in 10
what % of CHD is VSD
30%
what % of CHD is PDA
12
what % of CHD is ASD
7
what % of CHD is TOF
5
what % of CHD is TGA
5
what % of CHD is AS and coarctation of the aorta
5
Lt to Rt shunt (breathless)
VSD
ASD
PDA
Rt to Lt shunt
TOF
TGA
Eisenmenger Sx
common mixing (blue and breathless)
complete AVSD
Tricuspid atresia
Complex CHD
outflow obstruction (well child)
aortic stenosis
pulmonary stenosis
adult type CoA
outflow obstruction (collapsed neonate)
critical AS
hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
CoA
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
incidence of infective endocarditis
1 in 1000
increased: CHD, prosthetic material in the heart, immunosuppression
most common organisms in IE
Staph aureus
coagulase negative staph
strep viridans
Common organisms causing Infective Endocarditis in diabetic and immunocompromised children
HACEK
- haemophilus
- Actinobacillus
- Cardiobacterium
- Eikenella
- Kingella
What are Roth spots
Also known as Litten spots
Seen in IE;
- white centered retinal haemorrhages
3 stages of surgical correction for HLHS?
1) Norwood procedure within first week of life
2) Glenn procedure at 3-6 months
3) Fontan procedure at 2-3 years (one ventricle supports both the pulmonary and systemic circulation). IT IS A PALLIATIVE PROCEDURE.
Surgical management for TGA?
Typically have a balloon atrial septostomy for stabilisation
Followed by the arterial switch operation (this has replaced the mustard operation)
If a VSD is also present would undergo the Rastelli operation
What type of vasculitis is Kawasaki disease
medium vessel
prediliction for coronary arteries
management of PDA
Trial of paracetamol, ibuprofen and indomethacin
duct ligation
duct dependent lisions
TGA
HLHS
Pulmonary/tricuspid atresia
CoA
