Cardiac Flashcards
Left isomerism is associated with
Polysplenia
Two lobes on each lungs
Right isomerism
Asplenia
Bilateral minor fissures
Three lobes in each lung
The right atrium receives SYSTEMIC venous return
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Coronary sinus
Two portions of the right atrium
SMOOTH posterior wall (sinus venosus) - where inflow from SVC, IVC and coronary sinus enters
TRABECULATED anterior wall (embryonic RA)
Is a triangular or pyramidal shaped with a broad base and contains thick, coarse, pectinate muscles extending toward the atriventricular valve
RA appendage
Smooth, thickened muscular ridge that runs from the mouth of the SVC and fades inferiorly to the mouth of the IVC
Crista Terminalis
A smooth, central dimpled area within the interatrial septum
Fossa ovalis
Opening of the coronary sinus is guarded by the
Thebesian valve
Most common form of PAPVR
Right upper pulmonary vein connects to the RA or the SVC
Is required for survival prior to repair of TAPVR
ASD
Most superior and posterior cardiac chamber
Left atrium
Long, slender and finger like and projects superiorly and to the left. With fewer and smaller pectinate muscles
Left atrial appendage
Aortic arch gives rise to
Right brachiocephalic artery
Left subclavian artery
Left common carotid artery
Is the remnant of the ductus arteriosus which closes functionally at ____ and closes anatomically at ______
Ligamentum arteriosum
1st 24 hours of life
10 days of life
Useful in assessment and quantification of blood flow
Pulsed or continuous wave Doppler
Allows assessment of myocardial contraction and deformation
Speckle tracking echocardiography
