|
|
|
Explain first 2 steps in ventricle morphogenesis: |
muscular ventricular septum forms , Aorticopulmonary septum rotates and fuses with muscle to form membranous intraventricular septum with closes the interventricular foramen. |
|
|
Endocardial cushion functions: |
seperates atria from ventricles and contributes to both atrial seperation and membranous portion of the interventricular septum |
|
|
How are the interventricular valves formed? |
The ventricle remodels. - The myocardial erodes causing ventricles to become enlarged-residual tissue becomes fibrous and forms chordae tendoneae. This leads to the formation of papilary muscles and AV valves. |
|
|
What induces the aorticopulmonary septum? |
Truncus arteriosus rotates and neural crest and endocardial cells migrate, truncal ridges spiral 180* and form the aorticopulmonary septum. |
|
|
What are the three fetal shunts? |
Ductus venosus, foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus |
|
|
Organize blood vessles from most oxygenated to less oxygenated in fetal circulation from the moment it leaves the placents until it reaches the RA: |
Umbilical vein, ductus venosus, Inferior vena cava |
|
|
Explain how the foramen ovale closes: |
At birth, infants takes a breath; causing decreased resistance in pulmonary vasculature and increased left atrial pressure which closes foramen ovale. |
|
|
Explain how the ductus arteriosus closes: |
Increased O2 from respiration and decreased PG from placental seperation induce closure of ductus arteriosus. |
|
|
What drug helps close PDA (patent ductus arteroisus)? How? |
Indothecin by inhibiting PG |
|
|
What drug helps keep PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) open? How? |

|
What is the most common congenital cardiac defect? |
VSD |
|
|
Which CHD is generally asymptomatic, may manifest weeks after birth or remain so throughout life, and many times resolves on its own after 6 months? |
VSD, if it does not resolve may lead to LV overload and heart failure. |
|
|
Cardiac left to right shunt that usually occurs in septum secundum and has a loud S1 and a wide, fixed split S2 |

|
|
Congenital heart defect that is associated with a continuous, machine like murmur. |
Patent ductus arteriosus |
|
|
What mantains patency in PDA? |
PGE synthesis and low O2 tension |
|
|
Uncorrected PDA can eventually result: |
Late cyanosis in lower extremities, RVH, LVH and heart failure |
|
|
Eisenmenger syndrome is due to: |
Uncorrected left to right shunt (VSD, ASD, PDA), pathologic remodeling of vasculature, pulmonary arteriolar hypertension |
|
|
Complications of einsenmenger syndrome: |
Cyanosis, clubbing and polycythemia, RVH occurs to compensate |
|
|
Coarctation of the aorta is associated to: |
Bicuspid aortic valve, aortic regurg Infantile type: turner sx Adult type: Notching of the ribs, hypertension in upper extremities and weak, delayed pulses in lower extremities.
|
|
|

|
|
45 year old man that during a routine check has 160/90 in the right arm and 170/90 in the left arm. Weak, barely audible pulse in the feet. What do you suspect? |
Coarctation of aorta |
|
|
Name the most common right to left shunts in congenital heart diseases? |
5 T's 1. Truncus arteriosus (1 vessel) 2. Transposition (2 switched vessels) 3. Tricuspid atresia (3=tri) 4. Tetralogy of fallot (4=tetra) 5. TAPVR (5 letters) |
|
|
What is a persistant truncus arteriosus? |
Failure of the truncus arteriosus to divide into pulmonary trunk and aorta due to failure of neural crests to migrate. |
|
|
Difference between right to left and left to right shunts? |
Left to right shunts are considered "late cyanosis" or blue kids, some are asymptomatic or show up later in life. Whereas right to left shunts are considered "blue babies", Often diagnosed prenatally or become evident directly after birth. Usually require surgical correction and or maintenance of a PDA. |
|
|
What is D-transposition of great vessels? |
Aorta and pulmonary trunk are switched due to failure of aorticopulmonary septum to spiral. There is a separation of systemic and pulmonary circulations. Not compatible with life unless a shunt is present to allow mixing of blood. (maintain open with PGE until surgery) |
|
|
Without surgical internvention, what is the prognosis for D-transposition of great vessels? |
Most infants would die within the first few months of life. |
|
|
It is an absence of tricuspid valve and a hypoplastic RV |

Tricuspid atresia |
|
|
What does PROVe stand for? |
The 4 symptoms of tetralogy of fallot. 1. Pulmonary infunibular stenosis 2. RVH - bootshaped heart 3. Overriding aorta 4. VSD |
|
|
Is tetralogy of fallot a right to left OR left to right congenital heart disease? |
Normally left to right but during "TET SPELLS" (crying, feeding, increased activity), pulmonary stenosis forces circulation from right to left, making them cyanotic. |
|
|
Why do children with tetralogy of fallot squat? |
Because squatting increases systemic vascular resistence (SVR), decreases right to left shunt and improves cyanosis. |
|
|
What is the treatment of tetralogy of fallot? |
Early surgical correction |
|
|
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)? |
Pulmonary veins drain into right heart circulation, associated with ASD and sometimes PDA to allow right to left shunting to maintain |
|
