Cardiac 2 Flashcards
describe pulmonary/pulmonic stenosis
- narrowing at the entrance to pulmonary artery
- causes increased workload on R side of heart
- congestive heart failure occurs when severe
s/s of pulmonary/pulmonic stenosis
-loud systolic injection heart murmur
thrill in pulmonic area may be present
treatment of pulmonary/pulmonic stenosis
balloon angioplasty or OHS
4 defects of tetrology of fallot (TOF)
1) pulmonic stenosis
2) R ventricular hypertrophy
3) overriding aorta
4) ventricular septal defect
s/s of tetrology of fallot (TOF)
- digital clubbing
- poor growth
- exercise intolerance
- murmur
- thrill
- hypoxemia
what happens during tetrology of fallot (TOF)
decreased pulmonary BF (unoxygenated blood enter circulation)
treatment of tetrology of fallot (TOF)
- prostaglandin E1 to maintain open ductus arteriosus
- palliative surgery to improve oxygenation (ie/ patch on VSD)
describe transposition of great vessel
- aorta arises form RV and pulmonary artery from LV
- survival depends on foramen ovale reaminaing open to mix blood
s/s of transposition of great vessel
- tachypnea, poor feeding, failure to grow,
- progressive cyanosis to hypoxia to acidosis (CHF)
treatment of transposition of great vessel
- prostaglandin E1 to maintain openings
- prophylatic antibiotics to prevent endocarditis
- palliative and corrective surgery (aggressive)
malformation and narrowing of aorta
aortic stenosis
what happens in aortic stenosis
increased workload on LV, leads to hypertrophy and HF
s/s of aortic stenosis
audible murmur, ejection click, and thrill
treatment of aortic stenosis
angioplasty or surgicla intervention to repair or replace valve
describe hypercyanosis spells (TET)
- acute episodes of cyanosis and hypoxia
- aka blue spells
