Fetal circulation
Enters vena cava through Ductus Venosus->RA->through PFO>LA->LV->Aorta->head and extremeties->RA->Tricuspid->RV->Pulmonary artery->patent ductis arteriosis->descdending aorta->lower extremeties->umbilical vessels->placenta ->ductus venosus
Post-natal
PFO closes
Lungs expand
ductus arteriosis closes after a couple of weeks
Signs of heart issue
-respiratory infections
substernal and subcostal retractions
grunting
cyanosis of lips when feeding
edema, exercise intolerance, palipitations
Hemodynamics
blood flows from high pressure to low pressure
- R side < L side
-Pulmonary artery < systemic
Types of Congenital Heart Defects
Increased pulmonary blood flow
Decreased pulmonary blood flow
Obstruction
Mixed blood
Increased Pulmonary Blood flow disorders
ASD
VSD
AV Canal
Patent Ductis arteriosis
Obstructive defects
=Increase afterload
Coarctation of the Aorta
aortic Stenosis
Pulmonic Stenosis
Decreased pulmonary blood flow defects
Tetraology of Flow
Tricuspid atresia
Mixed Defect
Transposition of Great Vessel
Hypoplastic Left Heart
Truncus Arteriosis
ASD
<1% mortality, hole in atrial septum
-L to R shunting of blood
-R atrial and ventricular enlargement
ASD treatment
May be asymptomatic
wait until school age to see if naturally closes
-clamshell occluder
-patch, cadaver or synthetic
VSD
Ventrical Septal Defect, membranous or muscular (higher mortality)
Most common
Blood L->hypertorphic R->Lungs
CHF, murmur
Eisenemenger syndrome
associated with VSD
VSD-> pulmonary HTN-> damage to pulmonary arterioles with hypertrophy->increased pulmonary pressure resistance->increased R pressure
VSD treatment
purse string, patch, or cardiac cath
AV Canal
common in down syndrome
incomplete endocardial cushing
blood flow through all 4 chambers
low ASD, high VSD
Loud murmur, mild cyanosis w/ crying
AV Canal treatment and complications
Patch and valve reconstruction
Complications
heart block, CHF, MV regurgitation, arrythmia
Patent Ductis Arteriosis (PDA)
should close naturally by first week
CHF, murmur
PDA treatment
Meds
indomethacin-prostoglandin inhibitor
Ibueprofen
Surgery
Ligation, coil
Coarctation of Aorta
low mortality
narrowing of aorta
Increased pressure in upper extremities
lower pressure in lower-> collateral circulation
CHF= infants
Dizzy, headache, leg pain
Treatment of COA
Stent
resection
patch
Aortic Stenosis
narrowing of aortic valve
decreased CO, LV hypertrophy, pulmonary vac congestion
-faint pulse
-HTN
-chest pain
Aortic stenosis treatment
Ross procedure
valve replacement w/ pulmonic valve (P valve replaced with animal valve)
Balloon angioplasty
Pulmonic stenosis
Narrowing of pulmonic artery, R Ventricular hypertrophy
CHF in severe cases
PDA compensates
PFO will open if pressure to high->mixing blood->systemic cyanosis
Pulmonic stenosis Treatment
balloon angioplasty
Tetraology of Fallot
1 VSD
2 Pulmonic Stenosis subvalvular
3 Overriding aorta
4 R ventricular hypertrophy
TOF symptoms
TET spells: hypercyanosis with crying
cyanosis
TOF treatment
B-T shunt
complete repair- patch and VSD
Tricuspid Atresia
High mortality
Blockage of R atria to R ventricle
cyanosis, clubbing, tachycardia, dsypnea
Treatment of Tricuspid Atresia
Prostoglandin E
Surgery
1B-T Shunt
2Bidirectional Glenn
3Modified Fontan
Results in R side atrophy
Transposition of the Great Vessels
Pulmonary artery leaves L ventricle, aorta leaves R ventricle
cyanosis
cardiomegaly
Transposition of the Great Vessels treatment
PDA, ASD, PFO
Prostaglandin E
Total repair
Hypoplastic Left Heart
Underdeveloped L side
Aortic atresia
HLH treatment
PFO/ASD and PDA
Prostaglandin E
1. Palliative
2. Transplant
3. Surgery
Norwood, B-T, Bidrectional Glenn, Fontan
