Transverse Precardial Sinus
|
space behind great vessels - aorta pulmonary trunk
|
|
Dextrocardia
|
loops to the left instead of the right - most associated with situs inversus (general reversal of many organs)
|
|
Shift to the right
|
due to left to right shunts of blood occur in venous system
|
|
Common Atrium (Cor Triloculare Biventriculare)
|
neither septum primum nor septim secundum form; always associated with serious defects elsewhere in the heart; serious fatal condition
|
|
Ostium Secundum Defect
|
cause by excessive resorption of septum primumm, septum secundum or both; F/M 3:1; some blood passes from left atrium to right; over long period can be tolerated; ultimately causes right atrial hypertrophy, increased blood flow to lungs and pulmonary hypertension
|
|
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD)
|
-most common of all congenital heart malformations (25%)
-1:900 births -most membranous portion of septum; associated w/ partitioning of conotruncal region -large defect associated with left to right shunting of blood -surgical repair -muscular VSD's usually small defects often close after birth "Swiss Cheese Defect" |
|
Persistent Truncus Arteriosus
|
-insufficient neural crest cell migration, only partial AP septum
-results only one large vessel, recieve blood from both L & R ventricles -usually associated with membranous VSD |
|
Transposition of the great vessels
|
-1:2000 live births
-septum grows almost straight down the truncus -result in aorta being transported to RV and pulmonary to LV -systemic and pulmonary completely seperated -not immediately fatal, ductus ateriosus or foramen ovale -cyanosis -leading cause of death in infants w/ cyanotic heart disease |
|
Tetralogy of Fallot
|
-abnormal AP septum
1. Pulmonary Stenosis 2. Overriding Aorta 3. VSD 4. Right Ventricular Hypertrophy |
