Heart Flashcards
(27 cards)
PDA
Continuous machine murmur Widened pulse pressure Bounding pulses Cardiac enlargement Fatigue Diaphoretic
PDA diagnosis and treatment
Chest X-ray Echocardiogram ****indomethicin Coil Closed heart surgery-tie it off
ASD
PULMONARY hypertension
Reduced systemic circulation
Leads to CHF or stroke as adult
ASD diagnosis
Murmur
Echo
ASD treatment
If small, may close on its own
No restrictions to physical activity post closure
VSD
Increase PULMONARY blood flow
Deficient systemic blood flow
Leads to CHF
VSD diagnosis
Small hole=bigger noise (better)
Electrocardiography
Chest X-ray
Echocardiogram
VSD treatment
CHF: diuretics
Digoxin
FTT: increase calorie
Prophylactic antibiotics
Coarctation of aorta
Difference in BP in arms and legs
Turner syndrome
This is why we check femoral pulses
Diagnosis of COA
Echo
Groin and leg pulses diminished
COA treatment
Prostaglandin to keep PDA Surgery Antibiotic prophaxsis High BP post surgery Kidney damage- little blood flow
Right to left cyanosis lesions
Hole in septum
Decreased PULMONARY blood flow
Right to left cyanotic lesions manifestations
Hypoxemia
Polycythemia
Increase viscosity of blood
Complications of right to left cyanotic lesions
Thrombus formation
Brain abscess or stroke
Blood bypasses lungs
Tetralogy of fallot
Most commmon cardiac malfunction responsible for cyanosis in child over 1 year
Right to left shunt
Four components of TOF
VSD
PULMONARY stenosis
Overriding aorta
Hypertrophy of right ventricle
Clinical manifestations of TOF
Clubbing of digits
Tet spells
Irritable
TOF diagnosis
Cyanosis
Oxygen has little effect on cyanosis
Loud heart murmur
Echocardiogram
TOF treatment
Prostaglandins
Complete repair at 6 months of age
Long term outcomes for TOF
Leaky PULMONARY valve
Arrhymias
Heart block (pacemaker)
Periodic echocardiogram
Bacterial endocarditis
History of CHD, Kawasaki , rheumatic fever, prosthetic valves
Prophylactic antibiotics
Rheumatic fever
2-4 weeks following grp a strep infection
Inflammatory/autoimmune disorder
Affects joints, brain, skin, heart
Rheumatic fever manifestations
Arthritis, carditis, chorea, erthyema marginatum, sub q nodules
Rheumatic fever diagnosis
Jones criteria
