Q

How does a ventricular septal defect cause lung disease?

A

When blood passes through the VSD from the left ventricle to the right ventricle, a larger volume of blood than normal must be handled by the right side of the heart. Extra blood then passes through the pulmonary artery into the lungs, causing higher pressure than normal in the blood vessels in the lungs. The lungs are able to cope with this extra pressure for while, depending on exactly how high the pressure is. After a while, however, the blood vessels in the lungs become diseased by the extra pressure.

28
Q

Describe the route of blood flow when transposition of the great vessel has occurred:

A

Oxygen-poor (blue) blood returns to the right atrium from the body, passes through the right atrium and ventricle, then goes into the misconnected aorta back to the body. Oxygen-rich (red) blood returns to the left atrium from the lungs, passes through the left atrium and ventricle, then goes into the pulmonary artery and back to the lungs. Two separate circuits are formed - one that circulates oxygen-poor (blue) blood from the body back to the body, and another that recirculates oxygen-rich (red) blood from the lungs back to the lungs.

Q

T or F: Transposition of the great vessel is compatible with life.

A

FALSE. Surgery must be done to correct the issue.

30
Q

Is transposition of the great vessel cyanotic or acyanotic?

A

Cyanotic since the body is receiving deoxygenated blood.

31
Q

Cyanosis is the most common symptom of this heart abnormality, along with tachypnea, tachycardia, and cool, clammy skin (d/t poor perfusion).

A

transposition of the great vessel

32
Q

_______________ refers to problems with valve development which prevent the leaflets from opening; therefore, blood cannot flow forward from the right ventricle to the lungs.

A

Pulmonary Stenosis/Atresia

33
Q

Is Pulmonary Stenosis/Atresia cyanotic or acyanotic?

A

Cyanotic

34
Q

The obvious indication of __________ is a newborn who becomes cyanotic (blue) in the transitional first day of life when the maternal source of oxygen (from the placenta) is removed. The degree of cyanosis is related to the presence of other defects that allow blood to mix, including a patent (open) ductus arteriosus.

A

Pulmonary Stenosis/Atresia

35
Q

Define Coarctation of the Aorta:

A

narrowing of the aorta

36
Q

Coarctation of the aorta causes:

A

narrowing restricts the amount of oxygen-rich (red) blood that can travel to the lower part of the body

37
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta will cause an (increase/decrease) in (preload/afterload). Why?

A

increase, afterload. Because the left ventricle has to work harder to try to move blood through the narrowing in the aorta

38
Q

Coarctation of the aorta causes the L ventricle from emptying normally, so L atrium can’t empty normally, which creates:

A

pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure

39
Q

T or F: In Pulmonary stenosis the walls of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, or any of the arteries in the head and arms may become weakened or tear by high pressure which can cause a stroke or uncontrollable bleeding.

A

FALSE. This occurs when a person has coarctation of the aorta

40
Q

_________ is a combination of four heart defects.

A

Tetralogy of Fallot

41
Q

Tetrology of Fallot encompasses which 4 defects and which optional defect?

A

i. A large ventricular septal defect (VSD)
ii. Pulmonary stenosis
iii. Right ventricular hypertrophy
iv. An overriding aorta
v. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): optional

42
Q

What effect does tetrology of fallot have on hemodynamics?

A

In combination the defects cause an enlarged Right atrium and ventricle, and at first blood will flow from L atrium into R atrium. Eventually the pressure from the build-up of muscle on the R side will cause de-oxygenated blood to enter the L atrium and ventricle, thus pumping de-oxygenated blood to the body

43
Q

Is tetrology of fallot cyanotic or acyanotic?

A

At first it is acyanotic, but when the R side of the heart’s muscles enlarge and the pressure gradient changes it will become acyanotic.

44
Q

Shortly after birth, babies with this heart defect usually show the major symptom: cyanosis (bluish tinge to skin)

A

tetrology of fallot

45

51
Q

In this cardiac myopathy all 4 chambers are dilated with some hypertrophy.

A

Dilated (congestive) cardiomyopathy

52
Q

Dilated (congestive) cardiomyopathy involves:

A

Diminished myocardial contractility, which is reflected in diminished systolic performance of the heart

53
Q

Dilated cardiomyopathy causes:

A

decreased ejection fraction, increased end-diastolic and residual volumes, decreased ventricular stroke volume, and biventricular failure

54

What is the most common form of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

A

Idiopathic Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis (IHSS)

56
Q

Restrictive Cardiomyopathy occurs when:

Myocardium is infiltrated with a material that results in impaired ventricular filling

57
Q

This cardiac myopathy results in reduced diastolic volume of either or both ventricles:

A

Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

58
Q

In this cardiac myopathy the myocardium becomes rigid and noncompliant, impeding ventricular filling pressures during diastole

A

Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

59

71
Q

Why does the risk of developing CVD increase with age?

A

As a person gets older, the heart undergoes subtle physiologic changes, even in the absence of disease.

72
Q

Give an example of how age can effect one’s risk for developing CVD:

A

The heart muscle of the aged heart may relax less completely between beats, and as a result, the pumping chambers become stiffer and may work less efficiently.
