Q

how is the initial vascular network formed?

A

aggregates of hemangioblastsdifferentiate and give rise to both hematopoietic progenitor cells and endothelial precursor cells(EPCs)

These cells organize to form blood islands that then coalesce, lengthen and interconnect

future visceral pericardium
35
what is the primitive ventricle?
early left ventricle. Delineated from future right ventricle by a constriction called theinterventricular sulcus
36
what is the first major step in cardiac septation? what happens?
Cardiac looping , reverses atrial and ventricular positions as the heart tube lengthen atrium moves cranially and dorsally outflow tract initially bends to right, ventrally and inferiorly primitive ventricle bends left and superior-dorsal to the proximal outflow tract.

40
how does Failure of proliferation of splanchnic mesoderm affect looping?
results in several cardiac defects including looping anomalies (discussed below) and outflow tract defects
41
what are the two looping anomalies?
Ventricular inversion Heterotaxia
42
what is ventricular inversion?
the primitive ventricle folds to the right and the outflow tract ends up on the left with the outcome being a right-sided, left ventricle

what is Situs inversus?
complete reverse symmetry of the heart and GI organs that is not fatal and may be asymptomatic
46
what is Situs ambiguous?
reversal of some organs "Visceroatrial heterotaxia":condition whereby the heart and GI tract are asymmetrically arranged from one another problems with inflow and outflow tract development, life threatening
47
what eventually happens to Left vitelline vein and left umbilical vein ?
eventually disappear
48
what happens to left sinus venosus and left horn? what does this cause?
shift their connection to the right half of the common atrium because the expansion of the atria is more pronounced on the left side of the common sinus opening. net shift in the amount of blood returning to the right side of the common atrium
49
what disappears from left sinus horn and what does it become?
Left vitelline vein and left umbilical vein left common cardinal vein disappears eventually remains of the left sinus horn becomes the coronary sinus

58
what does Differential growth make?
muscular interventricular septum and muscular atrial septum Never fully closes a lumen,
59
Endocardial cushion tissue makes what?
fibrous (membranous) portions of atrial and ventricular septum and conotruncal ridges of the outflow tract formation of new connective tissue that occurs in the AV region and outflow tract
60
How is AV septum formed?
superior (dorsal) and inferior (ventral) endocardial cushions fuse at midline
61
what do cushion cells do?
provide mesenchyme needed for anchoring the heart valves and also contribute to the cardiac skeleton
62
what are Conotruncal ridges made of?
part ECT and part neural crest cell-derived.
63
Conus arteriosus is divided how?
divided so blood from LV and RV go out different vessels
64
Truncus arteriosus is divided to make what and how?
will be divided to make aorta and pulmonary arteries by formation of an aorticopulmonary (AP) septum
65
where are two septa produced in the atrium?
want O2-rich blood from the placenta (entering the future RA) to get to the left side with most of it skipping the lungs.
66
what induces Septum 1 formation?
touching of outflow tract to atrium during cardiac looping
67
how does Septum 1 form, what contributes to its formation as well?
extends from atrial wall toward the AV septum. eceives a contribution from the dorsal mesenchymal protrusion(DMP) or spina vestibuli (mesodermal)
68
what is the ostium primum?
Septum primum has a hole in it near the AV septum
69
how is ostium secundum formed?
As cushion tissue from the AV septum and DMP begins to close this hole, a new hole forms in septum primum toward cranial (superior) end , this is ostium secundum
70
how is septum secundum formed? what does it overlap?
As the atria are expanding, septum secundum grows toward the AV region. As it grows, it overlaps the ostium secundum.
71
what is the opening left by septum secundum? what overlaps it
foramen ovale, overlapped by septum primum, blood cant flow back to left atrium
72
when can a patent foramen ovale cause problems?
if it doesnt close within one year
73
What happens after first breathe?
pulmonary circulation increases blood flow and return to right atrium drives septum 1 against septum 2, seals septum
74
what happens with atrial septal defects in the beginning?
initial left to right shunting because of increased blood flow returning from the lungs leads to pulmonary resistance over time
75
what does increased pulmonary resistance cause?
causes the RV to hypertrophy and over time this leads to congestive heart failure cyanosis due to right to left shunt
76
what happens with a high atrial septal defect?
hole in atrial septum inadequate development of septum 2
77
what happens with a low atrial septal defect?
failure of up-growth of AV cushion tissue from AV septum and DMP to fill in ostium primum
78
what is cyanosis?
bluish coloration of the skin due to the presence of deoxygenated blood mixing with oxygenated blood to the point that it lowers the overall oxygen content and is insufficient for normal tissue physiology.
79
describe the Fetal cardiac blood flow pattern from TV?
Blood entering the RV from the RA includes less oxygenated blood from SVA and coronary sinus but also a portion of the blood from the IVC. Blood exiting the RV re-enters the systemic arterial side via the ductus arteriosus with only about 11-13%actually going through the pulmonary arteries to reach the developing lungs
80
how does blood enter heart from IVC?
bulk of the blood entering from the IVC is shuttled through the foramen ovale into the left atrium. the LA receives the oxygenated blood that is transferred to the LV and out into fetal systemic arterial side
81
ventricular septation is accomplished by what? what are the parts
formation of the interventricular septum septum is made of a muscular part and a fibrous part
82
partitioning of outflow tract accomplishes what?
must be divided into two tubes in such a way that it connects the future aorta to the LV and the pulmonary artery to the RV
83
what arch connects RV to lungs?
Aortic arch VI
84
what arch connects LV to the body?
aortic arch III & IV
85
what is myocardialization?
outer myocardial wall is thinned as some myocardial cells begin to be replaced by cushion cells in specific areas and there is further remodeling through apoptosis
86
what is double-outlet right ventricle? what does it happen from?
both aorta and pulmonary artery exit via the right ventricle with an accompanyingventricular septal defec symptoms showwithin days including cyanosis, breathlessness, murmur and later, cardiac looping is insufficient,
87
what divides outflow tract, what is made from?
conotruncal septum, made from conotruncal ridges made from neural crest cells and from the endocardial-derived cushion tissue
88
Complete ventricular septation is completed how?
fusion of the conotruncal ridges with each other and then with the interventricular septum and coincident with a downgrowth of cushion tissue from the AV septum
89
what provides primordia for semilunar valves of aorta and pulmonary trunk
Spiraling ridges at the truncus/conus junction
90
what are ventricular septal defects caused by? what happens?
Failure of proper closure by abnormal or inadequate fibrous tissue is the cause 95% of the time becomes cyanotic sometime after birth as the RV hypertrophies due to increased work load
91
what is the usual outcome of ventricular septal defects?
RV hypertrophies enough so that the RV pressure builds and exceeds the left side, so now a right to left shunt develops Eventually die of cardiac failure if not addressed.
92
Persistent truncus arteriosus is caused by what?
failure of contruncal ridge formation and fusion pulmonary artery arises some distance away above the undivided truncus. VSD because of the ridges contribution to the fibrous portion. Undivided truncus overrides bothright & left ventricle. There is mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within truncus so it can present with low degree of cyanosi
93
Persistent truncus arteriosus can lead to what?
pulmonary congestion, RV hypertrophy, increased right ventricular pressure
94
Tetralogy of Fallot is caused by what?
Conotruncal ridges form off-center leading to unequal division of pulmonary trunk and aorta.
95
consequences of Tetralogy of Fallot ?
1. VSD (missing fibrous portion). 2. Pulmonary infundibular stenosis. 3. Overriding aorta 4. RV hypertrophies in the fetus , right to left shunting of blood even at the time of birth
96
Transposition of great vessels is caused by what? what happens?
Conotruncal ridges fail to spiral. pulmonary artery is connected to the LV and the aorta to RV Even with shunts, a life expectancy may be only 3 years without surgery.
97
Pulmonary valvular atresia is due to what?
Semilunar valves are fused leading to RV hypoplasia Patent foramen ovale then forms the only outlet for blood on right side to get to the left side Ductus arteriosus is always patent and is only route for blood to get to lungs
98
how can a person stay alive with Pulmonary valvular atresia
Surgically can open the pulmonary valve and if the RV is not too weak, the person can live If there is an accompanying VSD,blood can enter the left ventricle and be pumped out the aorta, univentricular heart
99
Aortic valvular stenosis, what happens? why? to who?
leads to hypertrophy of LV and eventually to cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension Can be congenital , due to disease, or generation 4:1 in males
100
Bicuspid aortic valve, what happens?
2 leaflets rather than 3 are formed Results in regurgitation or later, to a form of stenosis eventual leads to LV hypertrophy. "leads to aortic aneurysms"
101
Aortic valvular atresia, what happens? how can it be resolved
valves are completely fused the LV is underdeveloped wide ductus arteriosus forms because it is the only way O2-enriched blood from placenta can get into left side Leads to RV hypertrophy during fetal period after birth, O2-enriched blood must enter right atrium by way of an atrial septal defect and then enter the systemic circulation by passing through a patent ductus arteriosus.
102
Tricuspid atresia, what happens?
obliteration of right AV orifice ``` fusion of tricuspid valves always associated with patency of foramen ovale, ventricular septal defect, underdeveloped right ventricle, hypertrophy of left ventricle, and patent ductus arteriosus ```
103
how can Tricuspid atresia be treated?
Can be corrected surgically if RV is not too under developed, or surgery
104
Hypoplastic left ventricle, what happens?
the LV is underdeveloped with absent or small bicuspid and aortic valves The ascending portion of the aorta is underdeveloped and there’s a patent ductus arteriosus and/or foramen ovale heart is basically working as a univentricular heart with the RV doing all the work
105
Hypoplastic left ventricle, how to treat it?
Surgical and medical interventions improve outcomes
106
how is conus arteriosus and truncus arteriosus formed?
initial outflow tract +myocardium
107
truncus arteriosus forms what?
aorta +pulmonary artery
