2 types of ASDs
secundum
foramen ovale
cause of secundum type ASD?
excessive resorption of the septum primum
Drawback of large PFO?
Result of premature closer of FO?
large: paradoxical embolis
closed: hypertrophy of R. side of heart and underdevelopment of left side
Result of early membranous VSD?
when do you see symptoms?
Result late membranous VSD?
Early or late cyanosis?
Early = L. to R shunt
SX's w/exertion
Late = eisenmenger w/pulmonary hypertension: R to L shunt
Late cyanosis
What shunt is assoc. w/ transposition
of great vessels? what is needed to live?
R. to left shunt

most common congenital CYANOTIC
cardiac anomaly?
tetralogy of fallot
what are the 4 parts to the tetrology?
1. PS
2. Overriding aorta
3. Interventricular septal defect
4. right ventricular hypertrophy
what is the cause of tetrology of Fallot?
Aortico pulmonary septum fails to align properly
what is a condition where you have only one large vessel that leaves the heart?
What's needed to live?
Is there cyanosis?
Persistent truncus arteriosus?
Need a membranous ventricular septal defect
There is cyanosis
Cause of persistent truncus arteriosus?
AP septum fails to align properly
what hormone sustains the patency of the the ductus arteriosus? what condition?
Prostaglandin E
intrauterine or neonatal asphyxia
What's used to promote the closure of a ductus arteriosus?
PGE inhibitors:
indomethocine, acetylcholine, histamine, and catecholamines
When is a PDA common?

What kind of shunt is involved w/PDA after birth?
premature infants and cases of maternal rubella infection

Left to Right shunt
(before birth = R to Left)
what vessel allows fetal blood to bypass the liver?

What allows the fetal blood flow to bypass the lungs?
ductus venosus = liver bypass

Ductus arteriosus = lung bypass
Where is the highest oxygenation in fetal circulation?

Lowest?
highest = umbilical vein

lowest = ductus arteriosus
What are the 2 main divisions of the thoracic cavity?

What's the landmark?
superior mediastinum above the sternal angle

inferior mediastinum below the sternal angle
The inferior mediastinum is divided into what 3 parts?
anterior
middle
posterior mediastinum
What is the 1 thing contained in the anterior mediastinum?
Heat and remnants of thymus
What are the 2 things contained in the middle mediastinum?
heart and great vessels
What are the vertebral levels at which the IVC, Esophagus and Aorta pass thru the diaphragm?
IVC = V8 (caval hiatus)
Esph = V10 (esophageal hiatus)
Aorta = V12 (aortic hiatus)
What artery supplies the SA and AV nodes?
R. coronary artery
what is the distal branch of the R. coronary artery?

what does it supply?
Posterior interventricular artery

Supplies the interventricular septum
What artery supplies the anterior part o the interventricular septum?
Left coronary artery via the LAD
What are the 2 main branches off the left coronary artery?
circumflex
LAD
What are the top 3 obstructed arteries in an MI?
LAD: 50%
R. coronary: 30%
circumflex: 20%
what is the auricle derived from?
what is the rough myocardium called that is found w/in it?
derived from fetal atrium
has pectinate muscle w/in it
What is the sinus venarum?
where does it get its blood from?
smooth walled portion of atrium
receives blood from superior and inferior venae cavae.
What is the crista terminalis?
What is in the upper part of the Crista terminalis
vertical ridge that separates smooth from rough portion of the R. atrium

SA node is in the upper part of the crista terminalis
what are the ridges of myocardium in the ventricle walls called?
trabeculae carneae
What are two common systolic valvular defects with murmurs?
