Q

Drug to close holes

A

Balloon valvuloplasty

Valve replacement later in life

35
Q

Noonan syndrome and ejection systolic murmur

Acyanotic

A

Pulmonary stenosis

leads to RV hypertrophy

36
Q

Pathophys of ASD

A

Left to Right shunt

Increased flow/volume through R heart and lungs

37
Q

Usually asymptomatic
Recurrent chest infections
Ejection systolic murmur at left upper sternal border
Wide fixed splitting of S2
Acyanotic
Dilated pulmonary artery with hilar congestion on CXR

A

ASD

increased flow across pulmonary valve, leading to delayed closure

Louder in smaller defects (more turbulence)

Large VSD (aka greater than aortic valve) can lead to heart failure by 2 months old

41

Anaemia
Respiratory (Hyperoxia test, give baby 100% O2 for 10 minutes, if sats do not rise then cardiovascular)
Cardiovascular (Pre-ductal O2 sats from RIGHT HAND vs Post-ductal O2 sats from a foot. If these are different, can indicate PDA is being used to maintain sats in a cyanotic R>L shunt)
