04b: Abnormal Heart Development Flashcards
Atrial septal defects are caused by problems with tissue (formation/breakdown). What are the types of ASDs?
Both;
- Ostium secundum (75%)
- Ostium primium (20%)
- Sinus venosus (5%)
Pathophysiologic consequences of ASDs typically begin in (fetal period/childhood/adulthood). List some of these symptoms.
Adulthood;
- Arrhythmia
- Paradoxical embolism
- Pulmonary hypertension
- RV failure
T/F: Patent foramen ovale is a type of ASD.
False
In the most common, (X), type of ASD, the size of (Y) is insufficient to cover entire fossa ovale and/or (Z) fails to fully form.
X = ostium secundum Y = septum primium Z = septum secundum
Ostium secundum defect is typically found in (dorsal/ventral/superior/inferior) portion of atrial septum.
Middle/center
The clinical course of patients diagnosed with isolated ASD ostium secundum defect is often how severe?
Benign; may be associated with few functional limitations
A larger, more severe ostium secundum defect may lead to (X) due to persistent (Y).
X = RA volume overload; Y = L to R shunting
ASD ostium primum defect is (more/less) common and (more/less) severe than ostium secundum defect.
Less common; more severe
ASD ostium primum defect results in (L/R) to (L/R) shunting between (X) chambers due to defective septation between which surfaces of (Y) and (Z)?
L to R;
X = atria
Y = inferior margin of septum primum
Z = atrial surface of endocardial cushion
Severe ASD ostium primum defect will manifest as (X) in which stage of life?
X = heart failure
First few months
ASD sinus venosus defect is found in (upper/middle/lower) portion of (X) septum, near (Y) vessel opening.
Upper;
X = atrial
Y = SVC
T/F: ASD sinus venosus defect has the most poor prognosis of the ASDs.
False - excellent prognosis with surgical repair
ASD sinus venosus defect: the (R/L) (X) vessel may faultily drain into which chamber?
R;
X = pulmonary vein
RA
T/F: Presence of patent foramen ovale doesn’t always imply active interatrial communication.
True
List some conditions in which patent foramen ovale unsealed flap may open.
Higher R side pressure:
Sustained pulmonary HT, sneezing, coughing
Most common form of congenital cardiac anomaly is (X), which is usually associated with other cardiac anomalies.
X = Ventricular Septal Defect
Most VSDs are related to problems with (formation/breakdown) of (muscular/membranous) part of IV septum.
Incomplete or only partial formation;
Membranous
Most VSDs are typically the size of (X) orifice.
X = aortic valve
Large and severe VSDs create (X) shunt, leading to (Y) and (Z) symptoms.
X = L to R Y = RV hypertrophy Z = pulmonary hypertension
