B. X Flashcards
Congenital heart defects arise when
Week 3-8
Most Congenital heart defects are _____
Sporadic
Congenital heart defects often result in
Shunting btw. left and right
What is the most common Congenital heart defects?
VSD Ventricular Septal Defect
VSD Ventricular Septal Defect results in
Left-to-right shunt
Large VSD can lead to
Eisenmenger syndrome
Eisenmenger syndrome=
Pulmonary HTN
Reverse of flow
Cynaosis
Congenital heart defects (8)
VSD ASD PDA Tetralogy of fallot Transposition of the great vessels Truncus arteriosus Tricuspid atresia Coarctation of the aorta
ASD most common type
Ostium secundum
ASD ostium primum is associated with
Down syndrome
ASD result in
Left-to-right shunt
Split of S2 on auscultation
Paradoxial emboli
PDA=
Failure of ductus arteriosus to close
PDA is associated with
Congenital rubella
PDA results in
Left-to-right shunt btw. aorta and pulmonary artery
What maintains patency of ductus arteriosus?
PGE
What can lower PGE
Indomethacin
Tetralogy of fallot=
- Stenosis of right vent. outflow tract
- RVH
- VSD
- Aorta that overrides the VSD
Tetralogy of fallot results in
Right-to-left shunt
Early cyanosis
Tetralogy of fallot treatment
Patient squat in order to increase arterial resistance
Transposition of the great vessels characterized by
Pulmonary artery arising from left vent. and aorta arising from right vent.
Transposition of the great vessels is associated with
Maternal diabetes
Transposition of the great vessels present with
Early cyanosis
Transposition of the great vessels treatment
Creating of a shunt in order for the blood to mix and surgery
Transposition of the great vessels results in
RVH
Left vent. atrophy
Truncus arteriosus=
Single large vessel arising from both vent.
Tricuspid atresia=
Tricuspid valve orifice fails to develop
Right vent. is hypoplastic
Coarctation of the aorta=
Narrowing of the aorta
Coarctation of the aorta is devided to
Infantile
Adult
Infantile Coarctation of the aorta is associated with
PDA
Turner syndrome
Adult Coarctation of the aorta, coarctaition lies
After to aortic arch
Adult Coarctation of the aorta present with
HTN in upper extermitis
Hypotension in lower extermitis
How can we discover clacified aortic valve?
Chest radiograph/autopsy
Calcium deposits usually affect the
Leaflets of the aortic valve
Mitral valve prolapse may be seen in what syndrome?
Marfan
Mitral valve prolapse AKA
Click-murmur syndrome
Valvular lesions generally result in (2)
Stenosis
Regurigation
Valvular disorders (7)
Acute rheumatioc fever Chronic rheumatioc fever Aortic stenosis Aortic regurgitation Mitral valve prolapse Mitral regurgitation Mitral stenosis
Rheumatioc fever order of valve affecting
Mitral
Aortic
Tricuspid
What is the consequence of Chronic rheumatioc fever
Valve scarring
Stenosis
“Fish mouth”
Chronic rheumatioc fever leads to thickening of the
Chordae tendineae
Complication of Chronic rheumatioc fever
Infectious endocarditis
Atherosclerosis=
Intimal plaque that obstructs blood flow
Atherosclerosis consist of
Necrotic lipid core (cholesterol)
Fibromuscular cap
FIbrous cap contains
Smooth muscle cell
MPH
Lymphocytes
Collagen
Necrotic center contains
Smooth muscle cell MPH Foam cells Lymphocytes Cholesterol crystals Calcium Cell debris
Atherosclerosis involves
Large and medium vessels
Atherosclerosis-
Which vessels are commonly affected
Abdominal aorta
Coronary a
Popliteal a
Internal carotis a
Atherosclerosis modifiable risk factors
HTN
Hypercholesterolemia
Smoking
Diabetes
Atherosclerosis non-modifiable risk factors
Age
Gender (Estrogen is protective)
Genetics
Atherosclerosis pathogenesis
- Endot. damage
- Lipids leak into intima
- Lipids are oxidize
- Consumed by MPH
- Result in foam cells
- Inflammation and healing- SMC prolif. and EC matrix deposition
Atherosclerosis morphologic stages
- Fatty streaks
2. Atheroma
Fatty streaks=
Flat yellow lesion of the intima consist of Lipid-laden MPH
Atherosclerosis complication (4)
- Meidum vessels stenosis
- Plaque rupture and thrombosis
- Plaque rupture with embolization
- Aneurysm
Acute rheumatic fever myocardial inflammatory lesions are called
Aschoff bodies
Aschoff bodies=
Collection of lymphocytes, plasma cells, Anitschkow cells (pulp activated MPH)
In rheumatic fever, the Ab which the immune system generates against the M proteins may cross react with
Heart muscle cell protein myosin
Most common cause of endocarditis
Strep. viridans
Strep. viridans infects previously
Damaged valves
Endocarditis results in
Small vegetations that do not destroy the valve
What is the most common cause in IVDU?
Staph. aureus
Staph. aureus Endocarditis results in
Large vegetationsthat destroy the valve
Staph. epidermidis is associated with
Endocarditis of prosthetic valves
Negative culture Endocarditis is associated with what organisms
HACEK
Haemophilus Actinobacillus Cardiobacterium Eikenella Kingella
How can we detect bacterial Endocarditis in imaging?
Transesophageal echocardiogram
Nonnacterial thrombotic endocarditis is due to
Sterile vegetations that arise in association with hypercoagulable state / adenocarcinpma
SLE associated Endocarditis
Libman-Sack Endocarditis
In what case can we see vegetations in both sides of the heart valve?
Libman-Sack Endocarditis
Define cardiomyopathy
Myocardial disease that result in cardiac dysfunction
Dilated cardiomyopathy=
Dilation of all 4 chambers of the heart
