Q

what can result from partial absence of the left pericardium? which is worse, total or partial absence?

A

left atrial appendage herniation or ventricular herniation. partial absence is worse than total absence bc the LAA or LV can get herniated and strangulated.

what is pentalogy of cantrell?

A

LV diverticulum, lower sternal defect, omphalocele, pericardial and diaphragm defects

18
Q

what is ectopia cordis?

A

anterior chest wall abnormalities that result in the heart outside the thorax

19
Q

what is metastatic calcification in the heart? what nuc med agent does it take up?

A

calcs in the myocardium in chronic renal failure patients on dialysis. takes up Tc99m pyrophosphate.

20
Q

what is the drainage pattern of supracardiac cardiac, and infracardiac TAPVC?

A

supra: to SVC, left brachiocephalic to SVC, or azygous vein. cardiac: to coronary sinus or right atrium. infra: veins connect below the diaphragm to the IVC, hepatic or portal veins.

21
Q

what is the pulmonary vascularity in ebstein anomlay?

A

normal or decreased

22
Q

what is pentalogy of fallot?

A

tetralogy with an ASD

23
Q

in what syndrome is there an increased incidence of cardiac fibromas?

A

basal cell nevus (gorlin syndrome): 2 or more basal cell ca, medulloblastoma, keratocyst of the jaw, ovarian and cardiac fibromas

24
Q

what is a bovine arch

A

only 2 arteries arise from the aorta - the right brachiocepahlic gives rise to the R subclavian, RCC, LCC and the other branch is the left subclavian

25

A

teratoma and malignant mesothelioma

26
Q

what are the cardiac problems associated with pectus excavatum?

A

0.15-0.2 mmol/kg

31
Q

what is parachute defomrity of the mitral valve?

A

the chordae of both valve leaflets converge onto a single papillary muscle causing MV stenosis or regurg

32
Q

what is the drainage pattern of left sided PAPVR vs persistent left sided SVC?

A

left papvr: pulmonary vein goes to L brachiocephalic vein, and drains into SVC, persistent left svc: drains into coronary sinus
