Blonder Flashcards
ASD
opening in intra-atrial septum
most common - secundum
closure - catheter device
patent foramen ovale
foramen covered by septum primum not sealed shut in 20% of normal subjects
bubble study on echo
over time ASD
resistance - stiff and non-compliant
then pressure increases
pressure follows resistance
myxomatous mitral valve
mitral valve prolapse syndrome
most common septal defect
bicuspid AV
ASD is second**
ASD
usually asymptomatic until adult - surgery by age 40
atrial arrhythmia, paradoxical emboli, cerebral abscess, right heart failure, pulmonary HTN > eisenmanger syndrome
ASD at bottom of septum
primum
-worse
sinus venosus ASD
least common
-cannot be closed percutaneously
two types
-superior (SVC) and inferior (IVC)
scimitar syndrome
partial anomalous venous return
hypoplasia of lobe of right lung
thoracic aorta > pulmonary artery collaterals
lesions <8mm without symptoms
larger lesions enlarge with age
pulmonary HTN and eisenmenger syndrome
require >2.5:1 shunt
wide fixed split S2
ASD - splitting stays equal
increased P2
pulmonary HTN
S1 split
tricuspid component
upper left sternal border murmur
systolic ejection murmur
most common congenital heart disease at birth
VSD
spontaneous closure
infundibular VSD
below aortic and pulmonic valves
leading to progressive aortic regurgitation, the hallmark
