Q

What type of murmur do you hear with a VSD and why

Q

What’s the pathogenesis of a VSD

A

Oxygenated blood is pushed from the left ventricle to the right ventricle, causing dilation and hypertrophy, ultimately causing pulmonic stenosis as well

Q

What clinical signs can you see with tetralogy of fallot

Study These Flashcards
A

Cyanosis, right sided heart failure, bacterial endocarditis, syncope, bilateral basilar murmur, polycythemia and increased epo

25
What is an important difference to note about blood flow with a VSD versus tetralogy of fallot
VSD - left to right shunting of blood flow Tetralogy of fallot - right to left shunting of blood flow
26
How is blood flow shunted in a PDA
Left to right usually (similar to VSD)
27
How is blood flow shunted in a PDA
Left to right usually (similar to VSD)
28
What is the most common congenital defect in dogs
Patent ductus arteriosis
29
What kind of murmur Will you hear with a pda
Continuous washing machine murmur - will also hear a waterhammer pulse (largebunding pulse with rapid decline)
30
When would you not repair a PDA
With blood shunting right to left
31
What will you see radiographically with a PDA and why
An enlarged left heart and pulmonary vasculature became of the excess volume in the pulmonary arteries from exam blood going into the right heart
32
What will you see radiographically with a PDA and why
An enlarged left heart and pulmonary vasculature became of the excess volume in the pulmonary arteries from exam blood going into the right heart
33
Which valves are most likely affected by valvular endocarditis between cows, horses and small animals
Cows - tricuspid valve Horses, small animals - aortic, then mitral
34
A decrescendo holodiastolic murmur at the left heart base in a horse can indicate what
Aortic regurgitation likely due to valvular endocarditis
35
A horse is diagnosed with valvular endocarditis causing aortic regurgitation - what do you tell owners
It should have no impact on horses performance
36
What are potential causes of valvular endocarditis
Sepsis, foot abscesses , fever of unknown origin and signs of systemic illness
37
Describe pulses paradoxis
Weak pulses during inhalation, strong pulses on expiration
38
What are possible causes of pericardial effusion
Hemangiosarcoma, chemodectoma, trauma , heart base tumor from BLV in cattle
39
What is electrical alternans and when would you see it
Different amplitudes of QRS due to heat shifting in fluid filled compartment due to pericardial effusion
40
How should you not treat pericardial effusion
Furosemide because it will decrease intravascular volume and cause issues with circulation
41
Why do we care about atrial premature complexes
They can be a cause of pulse deficits but are usually clinically insignificant
42
What is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia in cattle
Atrial fibrillation (duh-above the ventricles)
43
What is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia in cattle
Atrial fibrillation (duh-above the ventricles)
44
What commonly causes atrial fibrillation in cattle
Digestive disturbance of electrolyte abnormality - hypo or hyperkalemia, calcium therapy
45
What is the most common pathologic arrhythmia in horse,
Atrial fibrillation
46
What does atrial fibrillation look like on ECG
No P waves, irregular QRS intervals
47
If you palpate pulses alternans in a horse - what do you suspect
Atrial fibrillation - 2 quick pulses followed by no pulse
48
What does an atrial fibrillation murmur sound like
Irregularly irregular rhythm with variable heart sounds
49
What can you use to treat atrial fibrillation if quinidine does not work in horses
Digoxin (what you use in dogs)
50
What can you use to treat atrial fibrillation if quinidine does not work in horses
Digoxin (what you use in dogs)
51
What can you use to treat atrial fibrillation if quinidine does not work in horses
Digoxin (what you use in dogs)
52
Describe hyperkalemia on ECG
No p waves, increased p-r interval, widened QRS, tall tented T waves
53
Describe first degree AV block on ECG (why does it look like this)
Takes longer to get through the AV node - increased p r interval
54
How to you heat list degree AV block
You don't - this can be normal in a healthy racehorse
55
Describe a wekenbach second degree AV block (morbits type 1)
P r interval gets progressively longer until QRS is dropped - dueto refractory AV node responding to delayed atrial depolarization
56
The classic second degree AV block with some QRS waves missing a p wave is also called
Morbits type 2
57
Differentiate between concentric and eccentric hypertrophy
Concentric - increased ventricular wall thickness (pressure overload) Eccentric - increased left ventricular dilation (volume overload)
58
What are 3 determinants of stroke volume
Preload, afterload, contractility
